7 Powerful words everyone needs to say to them selves!

LISTEN FOR OUR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT :) Hey, we’re Aaron and Jennifer Smith, hosts of the Marriage After God podcast. In this episode, we delve into specific Bible stories that reveal the profound impact of words. Welcome back to our podcast! If you haven't already, please take a moment to subscribe to our channel. And after listening, we'd appreciate it if you could leave us a rating and review. If you're watching on YouTube, feel free to drop a comment! Topic: The Power of Words Illustrated in Biblical Narratives Continuing our series on the power of words, we explore specific Bible stories that emphasize the significance of language in shaping destinies. We examine the story of Hezekiah and the Assyrian threat, focusing on how words were used to challenge his faith. The Assyrian messenger attempts to undermine Hezekiah's trust in God through persuasive words, questioning his reliance on divine intervention. We discuss the parallels with modern challenges to believers' faith and the tactics used to instill doubt. Eliakim, Shebnah, and Joah's response to the messenger showcases the importance of protecting ourselves and our loved ones from discouraging influences. We draw insights on safeguarding against fear and doubt. Despite the pressure to heed the Assyrian king's words, Hezekiah turns to Isaiah for reassurance, exemplifying the need to seek truth amidst deception. We relate this to personal struggles with faith and the importance of anchoring ourselves in God's promises. Transitioning to the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we discuss their unwavering faith in God, even in the face of death. The recurring theme of "Even if" underscores the essence of trusting God amidst adversity.
