KEY SCRIPTURE: John 18:30 KJV” They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.”

We continue with our discussion on provocative words. Words build up or they destroy. One may be set free by a word spoken by the power of the Holy Spirit, and another would be bound, hurt, or even mentally tormented by a word inspired by the devil. Sadly, many are suffering today because of very harsh and unthoughtful words from others. In Matt 16:22, Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him, never to talk about dying by the hands of the Jewish leaders. The Lord quickly spoke back to him but addressed His statement to Satan, who promotes love for matters relating to the flesh.

Evil, wicked words are mostly words coming out from the lips of men. How could a husband look at his wife and tell her you would never bear children? (such men normally have children by another woman before their marriage to this one)

A woman kept telling her husband your car will kill you in an accident. This husband was involved in a fatal accident and lost his life. The lady was later so depressed, but it was too late. Satan spoke those words and ended the life of her husband.

The lives of certain children have been ruined by parents who kept judging and condemning their children. Do not expect your child to be a virgin if you should call her a harlot. Stop telling your children it shall not be well with you.

The angels of God or the demons of hell always wait to act on your words depending on who is speaking through you!

How to prevent Satan from speaking through you.

1. Decide you would think through every word before speaking them forth.

2. Meditate a lot on the scriptures.

3. Do not speak words that are not true, insulting, condemning, judgmental, or cursing. Such words should not proceed from your mouth.

4. Every word you speak forth should be the truth, encouraging, inspiring, correcting, educating, scriptural, considerate, and full of faith. Decide to do that always

5. Pray always, asking the Lord to anoint your words to heal, strengthen, and lift up the weak.

THOUGHT: VOW TO MAKE YOUR WORDS HEAL
