The effect of words we speak in emotional pain. | 08 2001
The words we speak are probably the most influential things in our lives. The tongue can boast of being the spark i.e the beginning of all the great things we see around us.
They have created the atmosphere in which we live. The tongue identifies itself as being responsible for the environment in which the other parts of the body work and live.
Words can create life or death. If you study Jesus, the exact expression of God's intention for man closely,you would see that He did everything by the right use of His tongue.
He spoke to everything around Him. Words are bridges that can help people move from where they are to where their dreams are. They are exits from the present into the future. They can and do connect you with your future today. When God created man He gave us a very comfortable environment with all we would need programmed into it.
He secured for us productivity in the work of our hands However He did inform man that as good, beautiful and productive as the Earth was, there was something growing in it which could poison our lives and destroy our environment, killing our productivity at work. We where warned by Him never to feed on it, for in the day we start doing that, we start dying. We were told that it would poison the relationship between husbands and wives acting as a virus in the marriage institution. It was even going to go further and make child rearing a laborious thing. The poisonous substance He warned us about would be in today's language 'words that are spoken from emotional pain and anger in the heart when we feel wronged or offended or words spoken in pride when we experience some elevation'.
When things don't work out as planned and the people and circumstances around us become stressful, we need to watch we say and not speak out of the pain we are experiencing. Those kinds of words ignite the cycle of our existence and change the seasons of our lives. The violence, poverty and all other negative things
that fill the Earth today making life appear difficult and laborious is the collective effect of words spoken in deep emotional pain without the knowledge of the effect such words have on the Earth. These words have a devastating effect. They grow into things the originator of such words never planned. Failed marriages are a product of words spoken thoughtlessly, in deep emotional pain that create more damage than the speaker planned. People speak out of the pain in their hearts without knowing the damage they are doing to their lives and the Earth.
The Scripture says,
"...so also,the tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do.A tiny spark can set a great forest on fire and the tongue is a spark of fire. It is full of wickedness and can ruin your life. It can turn the entire course of your life into a blazing flame of destruction, for it is set on fire by hell itself".
Numerous people have become victims of their own words. It is very important to note that words are most powerful when they are expressions of the deepest feelings of the heart, then they carry a spirit with them. If the heart feels faith and words are spoken at the time when that 'feeling' is strong things would happen. Positive and powerful things would occur. If a heart feels pain and words are spoken out of that feeling in anger negative and destructive things would happen. It is important to realise that the emotions of pain and faith are seasonal. They come upon us stongly atimes. If we discipline ourselves not to speak words out of the emotional pain we feel when offended or hurt,we would have become masters of our destinies and future. We have got to learn that when we feel faith in our hearts for something, when we have a strong feeling at any particular time that something good is about to happen, we must make time out to release the stirring within us in the form of words or else it would lift and disappear.
Our environment would always create pressure and opportunities learn to hold your peace when you feel pain and to speak when you see the opportunities. Don't just think about the possibilities emerging declare them. Children must not be raised by angry parents who speak carelessly and continously into their lives from a heart of pain.
Bitter words are the catalyst of every failed marriage and divided family.
A child brought up by bitter parents would have to work harder to succeed in life.
