For by thy Words. . . . .

In the last segment we addressed the negative side of our words. We learned that what we speak could affect our lives and marriages negatively.

Today, I would like to share with you the authority of your "good words".

Even in marriage, we are able to change the course of our relationships just by our words.

James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. James 3:8 (Whole Chapter) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

So my dear readers, since we cannot tame our tongues, why not use it to enhance the course of our marriages, with good words that is!

As we encounter day to day life and interact with our spouses, our words are pivital guides that set in motion, the negative or the positive. Now remember, as we quoted in our last segment: Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. . . . .so why not be in agreement with God's word concerning our marriages.

It is a fact that when you say what God says, you enter into an agreement with Him, thus you have entered into another realm or area of your life that makes you a benefactor of the Blessings of God. Whether you believe it or not, people who's lives stay in turmoil, and who are indecisive, unhappy, depressed, unruly, as though their lives are going around in circles and never finding fulfillment, is a result of not being in agreement with God. . . . .and that goes for the rich as well. You see, peace does not have a $$ value.

Now here are a few tips to help us realise the usefulness of our words.

Be sure to start your day with words of thanksgiving, for life and for your mate. Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; (with kind words - I love you, I'll miss you, have a nice day, God Bless you, don't forget to call, are all "starter words and phrases" that actually set the course of your day. Stop saying "I can see this is going to be a bad day". . . . just because the car won't start!

It just might be that God is holding you up to prevent you from being involved in a terrible accident! , ever think of that?

Your words can make an entire day, if you use them correctly. Compliment your love one, and remind each other of the promises of God for your marriage, as written in the Holy Bible. Let good words begin to penetrate your thought patterns. Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: and when you think good things, you usually say them. Did you know that you can actually destroy the works of the enemy (the devil) by using good words or saying what God says? It's a fact, even when Jesus was tempted of the devil, his defense was: "the Word of God", what is written, that's right, the written word spoken becomes a reality of authority and power! Wow. . . .that's pretty powerful!

Listen to the word: husbands, love your wives, wives love your husbands. These are all good thoughts, words, and acts that creates a defense for your marriages against attacks from outside forces. That's right, and it works!

In conclusion, I'd like to share with you this scripture: Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. . . .it will change the course of your speech. It will set off an unquenchable fire of desire between the two as one! Your marriage should be an undeniable reality to the world, and so visible that it impacts others to see a relationship of love, trust, confidence. . . . . and here's what so great about it. . . . .it all starts with "words". so. . . . . . say something nice today to your spouse and watch things begin to change.

Now I'm giving your marriages good words. . . . .Always remember, YOU ARE BLESSED!
