Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein. KJV
I just watched Kenneth Copeland on his 30 minute television broadcast today, September 17, 2017. Oh my, it was exactly what I still need to hear so much. Really. I had a list started of scripture references about the words we speak and their importance so I could post them later upon completion. Whether or not we've received Jesus as LORD we are all governed by the words we speak. Those of us who know Him have the power to be like Him and since He said His words "are spirit, and they are life", we need instruction on how to speak the same way. Since Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy, our words spoken in line with his plan gives him permission to begin acting on them to bring them to pass. Thank God for His great grace which covers and keeps us all while we're learning to grow up In Him!
I'm not saying we have to go around quoting Bible verses all the time, but I do know we need to speak in line with life, health and all that comes with His covenant promises of Blessing-- which is our privilege to receive--but we need to learn "how to." Honestly, this is something that I have to continually be aware of especially during prolonged seasons of stress and pressure. I've had practice dealing with the careless words I've spoken, but I thank God He's faithful and not only forgives but teaches us how to enforce cancellation of their negative effects.
Okay, so back to the scripture list I was going to post and the Kenneth Copeland video. Everything he says about words, and how he connects them with forgiving and loving is so much better than my sharing only part of how words work, and YAY! he shares a list! I do hope you'll watch the following video because the information he shares is essential to understand in the days we're living in. I apologize to those of you who visit here who may not speak English, but I'm including a list of the references Kenneth Copeland mentions on his video in rapid fire progression.

He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
