9/27/24: Is Your Speech Pure or Corrupt?

Understanding the Power of Words Pt. 3

September 27, 2024 • Michael Rozell

In this powerful message by Pastor Michael Rozell, we're reminded of the incredible impact our words have on our lives and the world around us. The central theme revolves around the biblical principle found in Proverbs 18:21 - 'Death and life are in the power of the tongue.' We're challenged to examine our hearts, as Jesus taught in Matthew 12:33-35, recognizing that our words are the fruit of what's inside us. Just as a bucket spilled on the floor reveals its contents, our words reveal the state of our hearts. This analogy serves as a wake-up call for us to guard our hearts and minds, being intentional about the words we speak. The message emphasizes the importance of yielding our tongues to God, using them as instruments for His glory rather than for destruction. We're encouraged to repent of careless words, break word curses, and allow the Holy Spirit to cleanse and renew our speech. This teaching is deeply relevant to our daily lives, urging us to be mindful of our words in all our relationships and interactions, recognizing that we will give an account for every word spoken.
