Words can be forceful, but there's something even stronger.

Here's Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth.

The power of what Jesus did on the cross broke the power of every curse in your life.

Now, it doesn't mean you won't get cursed, but it means that there's a power of God's blessing that is greater than that curse.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Lies, Women Belief.

For April 6th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

Music 2020. I'm Dana Gresh. I remember years ago when I was in college, I didn't quite get along super well with one of my

hallmates, and I had some responsibility in that, and so did she. But I remember one day she was in my

room and in the middle of a disagreement, she looked at me and she said, Dana, your heart is black.

And that stuck with me for a really long time. The things others say can stick with us and affect

our lives for years, even if they're

not true. But there is a way to be free. Nancy will talk about it this week as we begin a series

called Overcoming the Curse of Words. I received an email from a friend who I've known

quite well for many years, but in this email, she shared

with me a part of her life that I was not aware of, and my spirit was just kind of crushed

as I read something more of her story than what I'd heard before, and isn't it true that in most

of our lives, there's more to our story than what people know, even if they think

they know us well. And as I look around here today, I know that many of you have become

your friends, and I know parts of your story, and you know parts of mine. But the truth is,

there are things behind those facades that all is well, there are parts that aren't well.

And my friend said, I've spent a lifetime trying to overcome the abusive and insulting words

that were hurled at me on a daily basis for my parents and my sister.
