Positively Good Productions
Sowinig blessings and life lessons to encourage, refresh, and benefit our lives.
Words have tremendous power! They can obstruct,
injure, hurt, heal, encourage, strengthen, and/or edify.
Our comments may either endanger or benefit others.
Our words could generate troubles or joy, pain or
gain.
Wise individuals learn to control their tongues
and speak solely to benefit others.
Do people bleed or grow when
you terminate a conversation?
Poorly timed, ill-chosen remarks, and
meaningless talk could kill enthusiasm,
inflict deep emotional scars, reduce
expectations, crush one's spirit, damage
self-esteem, disrupt relationships, squander
our energy, and hold individuals back.
Unthoughtful words can be the underlying
cause of many disagreements and the source of
significant physical and mental harm. Words
have the ability to penetrate to the very core
of our being.
Our words may hurt and harm, generating all
kinds of negative energy in the consciousness
of others, whether we intended them to or not.
God has given most of us the gift of speech
and the ability to think. This gift is valuable.
Speech is such an incredible gift... that it
should not be taken lightly or carelessly.
Something carelessly uttered in the heat
of the moment... might wound for a lifetime.
A man's heart determines his
speech. A good man's speech
reveals the rich treasures
within him. An evil-hearted
man is filled with venom and
his speech reveals it.
Matthew 2:34-35
Our words may hurt and harm, infusing all kinds
of negative energy in the consciousness of others,
whether we intended them to or not.
According to the Scriptures, there is a direct link
between the heart and the mouth. The heart is
more than just the organ that circulates the life
blood of a person. The source of evil thoughts
and bad ideas, according to Scripture, is man's
heart.
It is from within, out of a person's heart, proceeds
wicked thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
sexual immorality, theft, greed, malice, deceit,
lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly.”
Mark 7:21
Ungodly actions arise from the heart, and the mouth
speaks and leads people down dangerous paths.
Our words are like seeds that
we sow,
and we never know which seeds will
sprout... perhaps they all will.
Trust...
there will be a harvest,
and our harvest will be determined by what
we have sown... for better or worse.
Some of us have a tendency of repeating the
same unpleasant phrases over and over again.
The issue is that the more we hear, read, or
speak a certain word or phrase, the more
influence it has on us. This is because the
brain learns through repetition, identifying
patterns and consistency in an attempt to
make sense of the world around us.
The quality of our life is the result of the seeds
we have sown. None of us can escape the
harvest of our own words!
Research shows that words have emotional,
physical, and spiritual impact.
Words are messengers;
they carry defeat, they can convey defeat,
rejection, anguish, and sorrow...
or transmit victory, harmony, and life for many!
Words are powerful.
Words may either build up or destroy.
Words have enormous power,
for better or worse.
People will be held accountable, when it is all
said and done, for every thoughtless remark
they utter.
Giving someone a "piece of our mind" impacts
not just the hearer, but also the accuser's joy
and tranquility.
Words trigger feelings, images, and expectations.
Because thoughts drive actions, there is a strong
link between the words we use and the
outcomes we achieve.
Words are the most potent forms of expression.
Although the tongue is a "small part of the
body," it "possesses the power of life and
death." This applies whether we're talking
about spiritual, physical, or emotional "life
and death."
What comes out of our mouths
defines us more than what goes in.
"A man is defiled not by what goes into his
mouth, but by what comes out of it."
Whatever enters into the mouth passes
into the stomach, where it is processed,
before being expelled out of the body.
The food eaten has no effect on the mind
and so it cannot corrupt it.
from the heart, and this is what pollutes and
makes a man 'unclean.'
The tongue utters only what is
already in the heart.
Matthew 12:34
The heart could be a breeding ground for evil.
That which comes from the heart and reveals
itself through the mouth is what defiles man
as a moral being.
Matthew 15:18
If the heart is tainted,
the entire person becomes
tainted.
Jesus is concerned not just with how we behave,
but also with why we act... not only with what
we do, but also with what we desire to
actually achieve in our hearts.
Words are extremely powerful
instruments.
Some words have the power to penetrate the
very depths of our being, for good or evil.
The simplest words could very well hurt or
heal, inspire or discourage, help or hinder.
Our tongues are extremely powerful!
A careless phrase... may ruin
someone's life.
Our ability to speak provides
us the ability to build or destroy.
At times, we speak with such eagerness and ease.
Unfortunately, those hurtful, poorly chosen,
and inconsiderate comments are frequently
felt in the home environment.
In certain households, foul language, rude
speech, and stinging sarcasms are the norm.
As a result, everyone involved is emotionally
agitated.
When one reacts angrily to another, their
remarks are typically incorrect, harsh,
and hurtful.
We'd all be amazed how many awful things
we utter when we're upset.
Hearing unpleasant words can stimulate parts
of our brain that processes pain, making our
bodies feel as though we are in actual physical
pain, according to researchers.
When one is crushed by venomous
remarks, it is can be difficult for
the injured party to recover.
We have no clue what effect poorly chosen
words may have on another when hurtful
words are hurled at them. Words, especially
when spoken by someone we love or care
about, may leave scars that are deeper
than any physical damage.
Words have the ability to induce
physical changes in our bodies
as well as alter the spiritual
atmosphere.
A fool does not consider the harm their words
do, but if they had to drink them... they
would know how bitter they tasted.
Words and phrases that are hostile, indifferent,
nasty, and destructive can leave lifelong scars...
especially when one seeks to belittle and
change one's perception of themselves or
their perceived value to others.
The deepest scars are
those we do not see.
The wound a word opens...
can fester indefinitely.
A few carelessly flung aggressive and harsh
comments can be painful and destructive,
causing emotional trauma in the other person
later in life, especially on the fragile hearts
of our children.
Injuries can heal, but bitter words can plant
seeds in our thoughts that not only impact
how we view ourselves, but also have the
capacity to leave emotional, physical, and
spiritual scars for life.
Whether remarks are yelled or properly expressed,
they can still be incredibly damaging and detrimental
on many levels, leaving deep emotional scars behind.
The Scriptures remind us that all of us will give
an account for every idle word we speak.
Jesus Himself said that our words will either
acquit us, or condemn us.
Matthew 12:36-37
Slandering, mudslinging, and negative smear tactics
used against a person in order to undermine their
reputation and/or destroy their character are
incredibly harmful and malicious offenses that
can be hard to overcome or rectify.
The literal assassination of a human life, or
bloodless murder, as it is often termed, is done
primarily to tarnish the character of the victim.
The consequences of character assassination can
endure a lifetime.
The wrong use of words can:
destroy enthusiasm, impact self-esteem, cause one to
become wretchedly unhappy or uncomfortable, dejected,
down-hearted, or heartbroken.
Words can lower expectations, ruin relationships, affect
one's health, and make one sorrowful and sad.
1Peter 3:9; "Do not repay evil with evil or
insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil
with blessing, because to this you were called
so that you may inherit a blessing."
The way we speak and the things we say have power.
Our words can bring joy or cause misery.
Proverbs 18:21 puts it this way:
“The tongue has the power of life and death.”
Our words can either speak life, or speak death.
Our tongues can build others up, or they can
tear others down.
Everything we speak, think, and do will attest
to what the abundance of our heart brings forth.
Ephesians 4:29; "Let no corrupting talk
come out of your mouths, but only such
as is good for building up, as fits the occasion,
that it may give grace to those who hear."
Our words should be carefully chosen.
Before we speak, we should consider
the impact of our words.
Let us pay close attention to the words we speak,
knowing how powerful they are.
Before we speak, we should consider the
following:
1.) How will my words (including my tone)
affect the individual to whom I am speaking?
2.) Will my remarks help or hinder?
3.) How would I react if I were spoken to in
the same manner?
We can frame our reality to be one of defeat
or transformation.
If we don't like our current circumstances,
we must adjust what we say and how we
express it.
Speaking to people as we would like to be
spoken to is an age-old principle that works...
when implemented.
A wise person thinks before he speaks.
The first "activity" we know God
took was to speak. God spoke
with clarity, candor, and authority.
The truth of God's Word gives us power and
vitality. God's promises inspire and encourage
us. The instructions of God strengthen and
lead us.
God's Word is perfect,
powerful, and
soul-refreshing.
Because we, God's creations, bore God's image,
according to Genesis 1:27, we should recognize
that our words have power and should be
uplifting and refreshing to the soul.
RECAP:
God's very first "Action" that we know of
was to speak. This universe was created by
the use of words.
Words are filled with everlasting power.
Words are extremely powerful instruments.
Words are the most potent means of
communication. Words may inflict wounds
that last a lifetime.
Words have the power to both create and
destroy. Words have the power to adjust
situations and shape futures.
Do you ever consider the words you use
and the impact they have?
Do you think your words help or hurt?
Have you ever gotten into trouble
because of your words?
There are some sentiments which should
never be spoken, no matter how major or minor.

The nonstop talker seeks acceptance
and attention from others.

May we never forget and always remember:
"The good man produces good things out of the good
stored up in his heart, and the wicked man brings evil
things out of the evil stored up in his heart," clearly
stated in Luke 6:45.
For he speaks from the overflow of his heart."
Out of the mouth speaks that which fills the heart.
Our words emerge from our hearts and reflects who
we truly are? the real us.
What comes out of the mouth proceeds
from the heart, and this defiles a person.
Matthew 15:18
Before speaking, a wise person thinks.
We must exercise caution in what we say,
how we say it, and when we say it. Our
words reflect who we are and reveal who
we are to others.
May we allow our minds to fully
activate before speaking.
A wise man's heart guides his mouth,
and his lips promote instruction.
Proverbs 16:23
Do not let any unwholesome talk come
out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up
according to their needs that it may benefit
those who listen.
Ephesians 4:29
Kind words are never wasted.
May we always remember and never forget...
A wise man's heart guides his mouth,
and his lips promote instruction.
Proverbs 16:23
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
Proverbs 15:2
There is one whose rash words are like sword
thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Proverbs 12:18
A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
From a wise mind comes wise speech;
the words of the wise are persuasive.
Proverbs 16:23
Speak Positive Words, Words that Edify,
Words that Build Up, Words of Grace:
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths,
but only such as is good for building up,
as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those
who hear.
Ephesians 4:29
Kind words are never wasted.
