Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
(Proverbs 18:21)For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
(Matthew 12:37) Our words have power
The words we speak have great power, especially as parents over our children. The tongue has the power of life and death, so we must be careful what we say, even to ourselves. As Christians, we should positively confess and declare God's good will. We should change our vocabulary from negative to positive, bless our children, and give them compliments and encouragement. Blessings are important, and we have spiritual authority with the things we visualize and pronounce with our mouths.
