POWER OF THE TONGUE

POWER OF THE TONGUE

Did you know that there is a lot of power in our tongue.

Power to help or power to destroy.

The "Good Book" [The Holy Bible] tells us:

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue,"

(Proverbs 18:21 NASB)   

The problem is that by our natural nature the tongue

is:

"And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity;

the tongue is set among our members as that which 

defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of

our life, and is set on fire by hell."

(James 3:6 NASB)   

In the natural state our tongue is set on fire by the very

forces of hell it's self.  That is why we need to turn our

life over to God and invite Jesus Christ to come in and

take control giving us a new nature.  THEN, or tongue

can be a tongue of:

"But the tongue of the wise brings healing."

"The tongue of the wise makes knowledge

acceptable,"

"A soothing tongue is a tree of life."

(Proverbs 12:18, 15:2, 4 NASB)
