Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
On a hot summer’s day crack open the fridge and take out and eat a ripe beautiful piece of fruit that has been chilling full of its natural juice cold and ready to eat. It is one of the most satisfying things in the world.
When you speak life instead of death you will be satisfied with the consequences as eating that wonderful piece of fruit.
There are consequences to our speech, speak death (negatively) or life (positively) and the fullness of that word shall be experienced in some way in your life, that is the consequence of speech.
Matthew 12:37 puts it this way:
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
People have lived and people have died by the words that came out of their mouths. Some were noble words some were not, but it was by ‘word/ speaking’ that action was taken.
