“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.” (Pro 18:21 AMP)
The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words. (Pro 15:28 NLT)

I enCOURAGE you to guard your words because “he who guards his mouth and his tongue guards himself from troubles.” (Pro 21:23 AMP) Our words have creative power, positively or negatively. Jesus said in Matthew 12:37, ““But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
