How Powerful Are Our Words Anyway?

[Edward]

Let's toss this around some. Scripture says, words have the power of life and death. (Proverbs 18:21).

Do you believe that? There's no way for us to be able to see that our words are so powerful here on earth. Some I have. I've heard plenty of testimonies where people had raised others from the dead. (It was really Gods power but someone prayed for it to happen and then it did. No way to verify these for truth unless you have actually been present when it happened. But over time I have heard so many testimonies about raising the dead that it stands to reson to me that, they can't all be lying, can they? Besides, I do believe that Jesus rose from the dead, (and scripture says many dead saints also rose from the dead and went all around Jerusalem visiting family and stuff to show themselves, presumably to prove it to people and give witness before they ascended to Heaven with Jesus...I think.) Even Andrew Wommack says his son was raised. He died somehow and Andrew couldn't get to the hospital for four hours, and he said his son was long dead and had turned all sorts of black and purple and stuff, and he just refused to accept that he was dead so prayed and God heard him. So...these things happen.

But, but...if I can tell a mountain to move into the sea, then how come certain dogs I've had were untrainable and sort of just did what they wanted to do? And I've never seen a cat follow orders, lol!

So what do you think? I'd love to hear some comments about this topic.

I think that proves the scripture then! You must speak powerful words for even a Cat to listen! Nevertheless, I am impressed!

New King James Version

God’s Revelation to Elijah​

11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lordwas not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

All words are powerful, not just the “big” ones. It’s often the little things in passing that we say that builds others up, or tears them down.

Matthew 12:36 ESV Jesus said,
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,

Little darts often do more damage than big bombs…

I daren't tell my mistress what to do (dogs have owners...cats have staff). I merely offer advice.
