Better Words, Better Life\n

Once you get God into your mouth, your head will naturally follow. Consequently, get God into your head and He will make the 12-inch drop into your heart and your feelings, and you will change for the better!\n

We\u2019ve all read that God\u2019s Word is a \u201ctwo-edged sword,\u201d but what does that really mean on a practical level? It literally means \u201ctwo-mouthed,\u201d so when you join God in speaking life, truth, and destiny over yourself and others, your mouth becomes a weapon the devil cannot defeat.\n

When you let God get a hold of your mouth, your life will change, including your mental life \u2013 the toughest area to tame. Self-doubt, hatred, past failures, and inability to forgive will be defeated if you can just speak right words \u2013 the Word of God \u2013 over yourself.\n

There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health. \u2013 Proverbs 12:18\n

Why? Because speaking God\u2019s Word activates good things in your life. It\u2019s like medicine that brings healing because positive words bring life. Negative words bring wrath, and none of us should be looking to bring wrath upon ourselves.\n

For many of us, it\u2019s like speaking a new language. God has given us an incredible gift of simply being able to change things for the better by just speaking life, goodness, and God\u2019s Word over things. Doing so will bring the upgrade you\u2019ve been waiting for.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Better Words, Better Life

We’ve all read that God’s Word is a “two-edged sword,” but what does that really mean on a practical level? It literally means “two-mouthed,” so when you join God in speaking life, truth, and destiny over yourself and others, your mouth becomes a weapon the devil cannot defeat.

When you let God get a hold of your mouth, your life will change, including your mental life – the toughest area to tame. Self-doubt, hatred, past failures, and inability to forgive will be defeated if you can just speak right words – the Word of God – over yourself.

There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health. – Proverbs 12:18

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

I speak the name of Jesus over every area of my life and align my words with His words. When I am challenged with situations, I ask God to put a guard over my mouth, so I don’t speak words that interfere with my victory. I speak Goodness because I want to see Goodness in my life.
