Words, words, words. Words spoken are seed, they grow up in the heart of the hearer, they bring forth life, or death, good words bring forth good, evil or twisted words, bring
forth a twisted life. Your words control your life, they can even control the lives of others.

They are designed by God to bring forth good in your life. If you twist God's words, they
will bring forth twisted things in your life, and if you speak good to others, you edify, or build up that person, but if you speak evil twisted words to someone, you tear that person down.
You believe what you say more than what someone else says, but if you listen to others speaking evil twisted words, you begin to believe them, and act on them, distorting your own life.
Since
words are seed, and grow up in the heart of the hearer, then to have a good life, you must speak good words to yourself, as well as to others.
Speaking words of life to yourself, and to others,
brings good in your life, as well as the other person.
Many people do not know this, causing themselves, as well as others around them, much misery
God tells us in Matthew 12:35 A good man,
out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure of his heart, brings forth evil things. And in verse 37 he says: For by your words
are you justified, and by your words are you condemned.
The word evil means twisted, like wicker, same thing as wicked, meaning twisted from what God has said. It isn't just refering
to cursing, but to what you say about yourself, and about and to others. He tells us if we want good in our life, we must put good into our heart, the core of a man, not the physical
heart. And the good in our heart will come forth in words from your mouth, bringing forth good in your life.
In verse 35 he says your words, what comes out of your heart through your
mouth, will either justify you or condemn you. He doesn't say that he will do it, or that his word will do it, No, he says "your" words will do it.
How do you
bring forth good?, by speaking good words, words of life. You also bring forth evil things by the words that you speak. Parents bring forth good in their children by telling their children that they "can" do
exploits, and not telling them they will never amount to anything. Parents, as well as other people telling a child that they came from the wrong side of the track, and can't get anywhere in life, will leave that
child believing they cannot be anything, so they will act on what they believe.
Is your spouse what you want them to be? Are "you" what you want to be? Start speaking the good that you want
to be, and the good that you want your spouse to be. Call things that are not as though they were, and they will become that way. Will it happen overnight? No, but Jesus said in Mark 4:26 that
the kingdom of God is compared to a seed, that a man sowed (planted), and went to bed and got up, just as any farmer would do. And the seed, the word of God, would spring and grow up. So it works
like a seed, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grown corn in the ear. A process, over time. But He said it "would" grow up.
God tells us in the letter from James, James
3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity, so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire from hell. The course of
nature is your life.
Your tongue controls your life, by tongue he is speaking of your words, what you say about yourself, as well as to and about others. In verse 3 of chapter 3 he tells us that we tame animals and
turn them with a bridle, or control them, and in verse 4 he tells us we turn a large ship with the little rudder. He is comparing the tongue, or your words to a bridle, and a rudder. A bridle is smaller than an
animal, and a rudder is smaller than a ship, but they both control the animal and the ship.
He then tells us that our tongue is smaller than our body, but it also controls our body. And if used against
other people it controls them. You may not see another person, or yourself making a big change, but your words will control the final destination of you or someone else. He tells us in verse 8 that no man
can tame his tongue, but the word of God can tame the tongue. So when you speak God's word from your heart, your core, from a heart full of God's word, then your tongue will speak God's words, good words,
and from Matt 12, we can see that those words will bring forth good.
So the words of your mouth control your life, you are the prophet of your own life. You are who you are, and where you are in life by
what you have been saying all your life. If you are not where you want to be, and are not what you want to be, then you will have to change what you have been saying, to what God says about you. Your
words are a life source. In our article "Who is Man" we cover this in more detail, and you can understand better how to change your life.
Only man can speak words.
Now lets look at what you
have to do. When someone decides to be a doctor, they first go to school and learn how to doctor, then they get further training in some kind of internship, and the day finally arrives when he is ready to start
on his own. He then goes into practice.
Now notice what he does, he goes into practice. He starts practicing what he has learned.
He begines to practice. You have to do the same thing,
you first learn these things, then you go into practice, begin to practice what you have learned.
Faith without works is dead, being alone. James 2:17 Put that faith to work for you.
In Luke 17:6 - 9 Jesus
compares your faith with a servant, and tells us that we should keep our faith at work all the time. And after it has done it's duty for us, to feed it. How do you feed it?
On the word of God, faith in the word
of God comes by hearing about it. Rom 10:17. So "daily" word studies feeds your faith, so it can work for you. Faith is your servant, so keep it working for you by feeding it daily, and
put it to work with your words. Say unto the mountain, (Mark 11:23), say unto the fig tree, the problems in your life.
Your words put you over, or they put you under. Which do "you"
want? You have authority over everything in your life, but until you put your words to work for you through your faith, you will be under your circumstances. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaks. Matt 12:34.
It would do you much good to study Mark 4, the whole chapter, Mark 11:22 - 25. and Matt 12:35.
