Death and life are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21, NKJV)
The words we speak are a spiritual gauge, showing how much of our soul we have surrendered to God. If we have allowed our minds to be renewed by the Word, our conversation can’t help but reflect what we have learned. If, on the other hand, we are hesitant to release our old habits and beliefs, our words will betray us and reveal our true spiritual condition. If our souls are not in submission to God and if we haven’t surrendered everything to Him, our tongues will be the first to sell us out.
