The words we speak have enormous power to tear down or to build up. Children are affected the rest of their lives. They internalize words like “You will never amount to anything.” or ” That picture you drew was awesome”. We also speak to ourselves and either curse or build up. “I can’t sing” or “Good things are happening all around me”. Also, others are affected by our words whether they hear them or not. “You drive like an idiot, you need a ticket” or “She looks depressed, a great circumstance will change her life today”. Choose your words carefully, your words are powerful.
Inner-Circle
A high performing leader needs an inner circle. Start with one person but expand to two or three. Don’t try and fulfill the highest purpose you were created for without input from people with talent that you don’t have.
Ideas-Success
We say action speaks louder than words, however, words are required before action. Remember words and action are only two of the components of success.
Ideas prompt thoughts, thoughts crystalize into words, words produce action, action of key people create success.
Words-Are-Powerful
Words can tear down or build up. For example you can tell a child “You will never amount to anything” or you can say “I see you have an ear for music.”
When you see a penny on the sidewalk you can pick it up and say “Money is coming to me today.” Or you can walk on by and think “I’m too good to stop and pick up something so insignificant.”
You can tell your spouse “You are amazing and you look stunning.” or you can say “I can tell you didn’t get much done today.”
The words you choose are more powerful than you can imagine.
Wounds-of-the-Heart
Wounds leave you stuck in the past. Self pity gives you a license to stay there. Wounds don’t go away with time, they have to heal. Healing the heart is a series of choices. The choices are not easy but they make a path to move on.
Psalm91-In-My-Words
I am not afraid day or night. When I sleep I know He is watching over me. When conflict comes I am confident even when people all around me perish. Through my protection I see evil destroyed and since His house is my house I am protected.
He has instructed angels to protect me.
Since I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ I know He loves me, and I love Him. I will live a long time because I know that He is always there for me and will never let me down.
Power
The Kingdom of God does not consist of talk but of power.
Use-what-you-hear
Use what you hear and more will be given. Don’t use what you hear and you will lose it.
Prayer
Sometimes prayer by someone else prompts me to be a blessing. They pray, God speaks, and I hear. My action become answered prayer.
Sometimes people don’t know what to pray. I pray for them. God speaks and someone else hears and their action becomes an answered prayer.
Pray specific prayers. Pray for people to come or go and do. Be ready to answer prayer by coming, going, and doing.
Christians are connected by the Holy Spirit. We are a living body.
