This teaching is perhaps the most crucial teaching you will ever hear because the power of the spoken word is often not understood. Yet, words are how we convey most of our thoughts, intentions, and desires to others. Our words can wound and condemn, or they can inspire and encourage all to whom they are spoken. Scripture reveals that our words are also the means through which we receive the promises of God.

Words are the embodiment of thought, for, without the expres­sion of the spoken word, our thoughts would be imprison­ed in our minds. To a large degree, our inherent authority is released through the words we speak. Outside of God, the most significant authority in our lives is our voice.
