Make Every Word Count
June 28, 2004James 3:1-12
“What if at the end of every day, God gave you a manuscript of all the things you said that day and required you to read it? We would begin to make every word count.”
-your words contain the power to create and the power to destroy
-we will be held accountable for the result of our influence on the lives of others
-we are creatures of influence; we are all shaped by the influence of others whether for good or bad
-What one word has had the most influence on you?
-embrace the words God has spoken into your life
-God desires us to speak hope, peace and future into people’s lives
-language has exponential potential
-have you ever said something to hurt someone a little bit, but instead it cut right through their heart?
-your words give you a good idea of how much control you have over yourself
-whatever you begin to say about yourself will be true; our words shape the reality in which we live
-DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE?
-one word spoken into someone’s life can steer the direction of that person’s life, whether hope, encouragement, disappointment or death
-in the end you will not be able to tame your tongue because your words reflect your deep spiritual condition
-SPEAK LIFE. MAKE EVERY WORD COUNT. OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT.
