Words have the power of life and death. Whether we use words to bless and to encourage and to build up or whether we use words to demean, tear down, or curse, our words have spiritual power that goes beyond the physical meaning of the words themselves. The scheme of demonic forces is to use our negative words to burn things down in people’s lives. There is real personal and relational damage that can happen as well as real personal and relational health that can occur depending on the words that we use.
