Conversation and the Words we Speak
Tomorrow morning my small group of gals from church will meet up with me as we begin the fall session of Women’s Bibles study. The study we will work through is Conversation Peace.
Take a look at this photo.
These are all snippets, clippings, articles, and scripture verses I have collected over the years that center on the words we speak. My favorite verse, I scribbled down years ago on the back of a business card. It has been hanging on the bulletin board in my office ever since.
It’s been many years now that I have walked this path of faith in Jesus. The longer I travel the more I learn about the very real power we have in the words we speak. I don’t understand it all but I know that when we speak, our words restrain or loose power in the spiritual realm.
I’m thinking that the next seven weeks of Bible study will be helpful to our group of ladies. But, I’m pretty sure it will be me who learns the most.
So, I leave you with this that I gathered at some point in my “word” collecting. I pray it speaks truth into your heart, your speech, and you join me to bring healing into our world through the power and the Word of God.
All that you will ever be or accomplish hinges on how you choose to control what comes out of your mouth. What you allow to occupy your mind and mouth, you can either bless your life to great heights of success or send it orbiting into realms of failure, sadness, and discontentment. Proverbs tells us “For as he thinks in his heart so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 and Proverbs 4:23
Guard your heart for it determines the course of your life.
Be Blessed, Lynn
So true, Lynn; our words are powerful. We should remember Proverbs before we speak or write. May I always build up with my words and not destroy others.
Words are powerful! Even seemingly harmless words can really bind angels in coming to your rescue when needed. I choose to speak life or not at all.

So true. That old saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never heart me,” is not true! The words my father had said to me almost paralyzed me psychologically for many years. They hurt me more through the years than the physical abuse I suffered in my first 11 years of my life.
I see even today the results of some of the harsh words I had said to my daughter years ago.
There is such a need for this study. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Hi my friends,
Thanks for stopping in and share with me today. Love our community and love Jesus. Have a great day. Hugs, Lynn
Lynn, what a great reminder of the power of words! I love LOVE the scripture in Prov. 4…so often times we let our guard down by allowing things in our heart that dont belong there. Great Word!
