What an awesome night of fellowship we enjoyed last night, Tuesday, June 15th, 2010. We discussed the topic from chapter 1 of the book, "The Creative Power of the Tongue". Pastor Larry Huch made clear one of the most powerful ways curses are released into our lives: through our mouths. The enemy has deceived many believers into thinking that words are just words, but if God says we'll give account of every idle word spoken (Matthew 12:36), that must mean He doesn't see them as just words. As a matter of fact, He created and placed within us this creative power -- the same power He used to speak the world into existence.
Here are more scriptures to solidify this concept. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that "death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit". Proverbs13:2-3 says, "A man shall eat WELL by the fruit of his mouth, but the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence. He who GUARDS his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction." The enemy is counting on us not to take this principle seriously. Whatever we spend the most time thinking about, those thoughts will spill over into what we say. And whatever we're saying is being carried out either for us (blessings) or against us (curses).
Book travelers, I encourage you to get this book and allow it to line your words up with the Word of God. I look forward to discussing it with you on this blog or in person. Keep traveling!
