Our Words Direct Our Destiny

"4 And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. 5 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.  But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire."
                                                  James 3:4-5 (New Living Translation)


Words are a powerful thing.  They can bring life - or the opposite.  One word in a single moment can cause happiness, sadness, anger, love, guilt, etc.  What is the driving force behind what we say?  Our heart.



 "33 “A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad. 34 You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say."
                                            Matthew 12:33-34 (New Living Translation)


What we are depositing into our hearts is what comes out in our words.  Want to know where you are/where you're going in your spiritual life, listen to your words.  How can you know if you're ready for the next level in God?  It's when your words speak faith, hope and love in the level you are in right now!  Intentionally deposit good things in your heart and speak godly truths.  



Our words direct our destiny.
"35 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart."
                                             Matthew 12:35 (New Living Translation)
