Faith filled words

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Faith and its use should normal or like second nature to every believer. Think of it like learning a new skill such as driving. The first time one drives, they have to juggle many things at the same time. It's sometimes feels like they are not in control since it's a fresh experience and any mistake can cost their life. But once they learn the art of driving, they can even talk to a person on phone, engage in a deep conversation with other people in the car, listen to something on the radio etc. 

We need to normalise the use of faith too because of its great importance. Faith when used well can mean life and death. When there's no solution in the natural, that is when you will realise that faith is important. For instance when no doctor can heal you, that should not be the time to get a hold of sermons, scriptures but it should be a time to release your faith. 

God gave us His Word. We do well to use it to release power in our day to day situations. Make use of your words to give life and not death. Become a life giver by the words of your mouth. Your words should primarily be used to release power and not simply communicate. A lousy joke can bring harm to you. Think of it this way, can you place the finger of your child in fire as a joke to see what comes out of it? Can you after that scenario exclaim and say, "oh I was just joking, I didn't mean to do it." That is how some people behave when they use their words. They say what they don't mean. 

Man is created in the likeness of God, a living speaking spirit. Words men speak are like containers which can carry faith, life, death, defeat, blessings or failure. Use them to your advantage.
