Our words come from our heart. Because we choose not to fall into the trap of letting our emotions control our words and to choose to be silent in matters when we don't know all of the circumstances of the situation, or just choose to be silent instead of expressing our words to anybody and everybody, in doing damage to our own lives, other people's lives- uh, the lives of friends- and and destroying relationships, relationships that may not mean anything to us but may have had such a value to other people.
Have you ever stopped to think about how your words shape the world around you? In this episode, Bishop Lance Johnson dives into the immense power that words hold. Drawing from his own experiences as a pastor, he paints a vivid picture of how something as simple as a word can either build up or tear down relationships, communities, and even entire ministries.
Bishop Lance doesn't just talk theory; he shares real-life examples of how gossip and careless talk have wreaked havoc in churches and personal lives. His message is clear: words matter, and they have the power to bring either life or death. He urges listeners to be vigilant about what they say, especially when emotions are running high.
Instead of letting anger or frustration dictate our speech, he suggests taking a moment of silence or choosing words that promote healing and positivity. One of the key takeaways is the importance of being guided by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. By aligning our speech with these influences, we can ensure that our words uplift rather than harm.
This episode isn't just for those deeply rooted in faith; it's for anyone who wants to understand the far-reaching impact of their words. Whether you're struggling with personal relationships or looking to foster a more positive community, Bishop Lance's insights offer practical advice that you can start applying today. Tune in to discover how you can harness the power of words to create a more loving and supportive environment.
