Over the last years, I've watched spiritual deterioration occurring among many in the church. We talk and sound no different than the world. Our words are mean, without grace, without love, angry at this and upset with that. It is as though we have no revelation of the power of our words. Yet, our words are the reality-seeds of our tomorrows. In other words, we are living today what we were talking yesterday.
Our words are trailblazers, the pioneers which affirm and establish reality. Some feel words are not that important. But there is a weightiness to words, a spiritual cargo that conveys either life or death to those who receive them. Consider: if I wrote a string of profanities and curses, each word could touch your soul with uncleanness. Indeed, words themselves are often the vehicles of satanic infiltration. As the Scripture asks, "To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit was expressed through you?" (Job 26:4).
