We want to encourage you today to watch what you are
saying. Your words have creative power and you can use
them as a destructive force or as an instrument of
happiness. If you continually speak negative words over
your life, then eventual defeat will be the result. In the
same way, if you speak words of victory, you will see a
harvest of happiness not only in your own life, but also
in the lives of those around you.
Remember your mother telling you: "If you can't say
something nice, don't say anything at all?" That was
good advice. Don't give life to your negative thoughts
by speaking them out. You can't continue to speak
negative words filled with doubt and unbelief and expect
to have a positive life full of joy and hope. You can
change your situation by changing your words. Talk
about your visions, your dreams. Declare that you can
do all things and that you are more than a conqueror.
When you find yourself in a difficult situation, don't
say the first thing that pops into your head. Learn to
control your emotions and take those thoughts captive.
You'll overcome every challenge that you face and you
will live the abundant life.
