How Your Words Control Your Body - Dangers of the Tongue
The power of life and death lies in your tongue. This verse means that we have the power and authority to speak life or death into our situation. Here are three principles you need to live by: (1) Think first. Sounds simple but it’s a step we often forget in the midst of our day to day life. Before you speak, pause for ten seconds and mentally preview your words. What you don't say today, you won't have to explain tomorrow. (2) Talk less. Your chances of getting into trouble increase exponentially when you talk too much. Conserve your verbal energy. (3) Start today. Saints, we already have enough passages of Scripture to help bring your tongue into submission. So put that muzzle on your mouth now -and watch how it enriches your life.
