“By the Words of Our Mouth”

Words are a creative force. May we not become sloppy or lazy with the gifts of words.

Interesting study.

So, euphemisms directed towards God or profane should not be apart of our conversation. We need to learn how to chose our words and make our words count.

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

God has put His words in your mouth. Speak what God is speaking.

Have a fantastic and word anointing day !
