Power of Words
Last night in ChurchNow I
shared the power of words (with the power of Ahnold’s quotes) for the short segment Christianity on Steroids. I will share this to you since some may have missed
ChurchNow and it’s a good topic that should be shared.
We all have at least memorized
some quotes of our favorite movie characters and books. Stay in your chair (or
wherever you are) and think of your favorite quotes. Some of the lines I love would be:
"Second star to the
right, straight on til morning." - Peter Pan/ or the Captains of Star Trek
"Shaken, not
stirred." - James Bond, Sean Connery
"Give me smallest
finger on man's hand. I'll produce information. Computer unnecessary." –
Rorschach (Watchmen)
"Toto I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" – Dorothy (Wizard of Oz)
"There's wrong, and there's wrong, and there's this." – Hartigan from Sin City
I did it! I did it! I am a
wild success! I sold 'em all, all my paintings. You don't have to be
embarrassed by me anymore! – Finn (Great Expectations [1998])
“Now whether or not what we
experienced was an according-to-Hoyle miracle is insignificant. But what is
significant is I felt the touch of God. God got involved.” – Jules from Pulp
Fiction
“Get to da choppa!!!” – Dutch
(Predator)
“I'm just setting things up
so all of you can live a comfortable life” – Howl (Howl’s Moving Castle)
Those are just a few of my favorites. I'm discounting so many other books and quotable quotes from real people.
Well, your favorite quotes
may not be as random in thought as to mine, but they all have a significant
place They may be words of
encouragement, words of frustration, words of curses.
Words have power. They can
bless, or curse. Encourage, or disgrace. Give life, or death. I remember some
things I’ve said that were good, and bad. Some of the words have given the strength for others to keep on the good fight. Some words I have spoken has given frustration. Some words I have said have broken hearts. And yes, I have had a fair share of words that were given to me that made me feel like conquering the world and also experienced some words that crushed my soul and heart. Some verses in the Bible focus on the power of words and I would like to share a few of them:
Matthew 15:18
But what comes out of the
mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.
Proverbs 12:18
There is one whose rash
words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the
power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
As I close this I pray that
we watch the words that we say. And when we get lost on what to say or are
tempted in saying something nasty, pray about it!
Oh, another line to close
this:
“Oh, I've chosen my words
carefully, Persian. Perhaps you should have done the same.” –Leonidas (300)
Hehe. Have a blessed day!

I couldn't get a good shot of this since I was on the move and the rain was starting to build up. It says My way is the highway - God. Well, God's way is the right way

365 Challenge Day 75
Sometimes we all feel like jumping. Depends on the jump: for faith or for giving up
sorry if my 365 challenge posts are sort of a day late!
365 Challenge Day 74
Sometimes I feel as if time is running out and I do get impatient or anxious about some things. But everything is under God's time.
