Summary
In this episode, we explore an incredible but overlooked truth - words are spiritual things! Just as God spoke the world into existence, what we say also carries spiritual power and implications.
We look at 1 John 4 on "testing the spirits" and see this refers to assessing the words and messages people speak to determine their origin - from God or not. Jesus calls His own words "spirit and life." But does the Bible give us any other scripture to show us how words are spirit?
Understanding words are spiritual means we recognize the responsibility we have in what we speak and what or who we listen to.
Topics:
- God created the world with words
- Test messages to see if they're from God
- Jesus calls His words "spirit and life"
- Our words represent what we believe
- We'll be judged for what we say
- We can speak life like God
