Scripture Anchors
“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose…”
Isaiah 55:11 ESV
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.”
Proverbs 18:21 AMP
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses… Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!”
Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT
The Vitamin
We believers know the scripture:
Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
But do we truly believe it?
God said His Word will not return void — it will accomplish what He sends it to do.
And because we are made in His image, our words carry weight too.
We can speak life or death.
We can shape our lives — and the lives of others — by what we say.
It may not happen instantly, but words plant seeds.
Seeds grow.
And eventually, we eat the fruit of what we’ve spoken.
Wrong thoughts lead to wrong actions.
Satan counts on that — he’s been using that strategy since the garden.
So we must take responsibility for what comes out of our mouths.
Even the “innocent” things.
Even the casual comments.
Even the jokes.
If the source of our words is not the Word of God, then our words will take on the form of the world — and the world is an enemy to the life God desires for us and our loved ones.
The Heart Check
- What words have you been speaking lately?
- Are they coming from anger, lust, frustration, fear… or Agape love?
- Are you speaking blessings or curses?
- Are you shaping your surroundings with life or with death?
Your words reveal your thoughts.
Your thoughts reveal your source.
Your source determines your fruit.
The Call to Action
Take every thought captive.
Cast wrong thoughts onto Jesus.
Replace them with truth — God’s truth — so you can speak life over your children, your family, your relationships, your future, and your atmosphere.
If you’ve already recognized this and started changing your words — keep going.
Keep speaking life.
If you haven’t…
Please repent, reset, and start today. ♥️
