	Description:		Do you give much thought to the words you speak over others and over yourself? Your words hold a lot of power. In fact, they hold the power of life and death, and today I want to challenge you and myself to think about your words before you share them. Thinking about your words is a simple yet important step that will keep you from saying things you regret or wasting the power of your words unintentionally. We have been given the gift to build up, create and establish with our words! Even though we might have times where our emotions get the best of us, or we really want to get something off our chest, thinking before we speak matters. When you practice thinking before you deliver your words, the process of pausing will help you to grow in your intentionality. I have three questions that will help you as seek to operate carefully with the power of your words. When you pause to ponder, you will see how big a difference your words make when you choose life. Here are three questions I want you to consider… What will your words accomplish? Are your words bringing forth life? Even when we need to bring correction, we can think through our delivery and speak with the aim of love and healing. Will your words build up or tear down? We wield the power to push people forward in their destiny or pull them back from the same. Let’s be people who release others further into their calling! Will your words bless them or you? Is the aim of your words to make you feel good, or the person receiving them feel better (or worse)? This is a great gauge for us to evaluate our motivations! While this practice of mindfulness with our words takes intentionality, it is one of the greatest roles we have been given as children of God. As we choose to use our words to create and build up, we choose to act like our Father and reflect His nature to those around us. May we use our power for good today as we speak words full of life into the atmosphere. Highlights from Today’s Episode: Our words are not neutral, they will either build up or tear down.
