This morning I will do something different. Instead of continuing with our current series, I feel led to go a different way. Yesterday my Pastor, Cynthia Brazelton, preached a power message about the Importance of Our Words. I have done a great deal of teaching on this topic.

(2 Cor 4:13 NIV) It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak.

(James 5:16-18 NIV) The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

(Mar 11:22-25 NLT) Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.

(Mar 11:22-25 NLT) Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.

(Luke 6:43-45 CEV) A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. You can tell what a tree is like by the fruit it produces.

(Mar 5:36 AMP) Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.

(Mat 8:8 KJV) The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

(Romans 10:9,10 KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

We come to God with a set way of thinking and speaking and we must allow the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to transform our thoughts, words, and actions.

This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” I believe most people don’t think their words are all that important.

This morning we continue our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Here Solomon continues to teach us about gossip.

(Prov 26:20&21 GNB) Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, quarreling stops. Charcoal keeps the embers glowing, wood keeps the fire burning, and troublemakers keep arguments alive.

(Prov 26:18&19 NLT) Just as damaging as a madman shooting a deadly weapon is someone who lies to a friend and then says, “I was only joking.”

This morning we get back to our series entitled, “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.”

(Prov 25:12 GNB) A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable than gold rings or jewelry made of the finest gold.

(Prov 22:17 & 18 AMP) Listen (consent and submit) to the words of the wise, and apply your mind to my knowledge; for it will be pleasant if you keep them in your mind [believing them]; your lips will be accustomed to [confessing] them.

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” Solomon hated liars. He spoke out about this many times in Proverbs.

This morning we continue our series entitled “Unlocking the Power of Proverbs – Walking in the Wisdom of God.” The Bible is chock-full of instruction concerning the importance of our words.
