Harness the Power of Your Words to Create Life and Destiny

Discover the life-changing power of your words. Learn how to speak with wisdom, release Kingdom realities, and create life in every interaction.

What are you creating in those around you with your words?


Within our vocal cords and tongue, lies star-breathing, life birthing, world forming power. No other part of creation holds the God-like honor and responsibility of being able to speak words that carry such authority. In Proverbs 18:21, we’re told, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Don’t pass by that verse with too much familiarity. Pause for a moment, and read that again.

Wow! We carry the power to release Life and Death on this earth, and that power is held within our very mouths! It’s a terrifying responsibility, but also a huge opportunity. With mere words we can bring things to life that were once dead, we can create realities that once were not. Our words can build futures, release destinies, heal bodies, and create miracles. 


How are you using this gift of creative utterance the Lord has bestowed upon you? How are you partnering with Him through your speech to bring His Kingdom on earth? May we be a people who with sobriety and faith use our words wisely and strategically. May we not take this gift for granted, but wield our tongue like a sword - destroying the works of the enemy and releasing Heaven’s realities in the lives of every person we meet and every environment we are in.


«Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it.»

Ephesians 4:29 AMPC
