Death and Life are in the power of the tongue. This implies that in everything we say we are speaking either life or death to that situation. Most believers are speaking death to daily circumstances. By our words, we are justified, and by our words, we are condemned.

Our words can cause happiness or sorrow. They can give hope or destroy hope. Unkind words said to a spouse or child can be devastating to the person or the opposite, kind words can lift a person. There are consequences to our words.  A witness in court can cause a man to be condemned or be set free.  A teacher who teaches students can cause false beliefs or can put students on the right path.  Undo criticism can cause others to doubt themselves.
