The same voice that “spoke” and the worlds were framed and made, said “let there be light,” and also said in Matt 26:11 “The poor you will always have with you…” and in Mark 11:23 “Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.” California’s not going to sink into the ocean. I believe there will rise up a group of believers that will get some big faith, enough to throw mountains into the ocean and watch it rise!

Proverbs 18:21 says, death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. Our voices are extremely powerful.

Have you ever had someone raise their voice in anger at you? Especially someone you care for. Or have you seen kids on the playground mercilessly taunt and tease another child. What is the typical result?

Have you ever had someone unexpectedly tell you “great job” or “I love you?” Or had someone you care for tell you “I believe in you! I know that you can accomplish anything you put your hand to!” How does that feel in your spirit and what does it do for your soul?

My mom used to always tell us kids, if you don’t have anything nice to say to someone, don’t say anything at all. My 7th grade Catholic nun would say, think before you ink! In other words, your words are powerful and can bring blessings or curses.

At one point in my life my dad told my mom concerning me, Tom can accomplish anything he will put his heart in. That statement launched me into my destiny…full of faith. My pastor, boss and father in the faith, John Wimber, once told me that as far as he and his wife were concerned I could be mayor of our town. That everything I did brought blessing.

WOW! Talk about speaking life in to someone. I was ready to take on the gates of hell with a water pistol! He also allowed me many opportunities to exercise the gifts and callings God had placed in me. I went on to travel the world with him, produce 30 plus worship recordings, and produce some live productions through which many came to the saving knowledge of Christ.

I would encourage anyone reading this to carefully think about the words you will say today. Your words carry tremendous weight and can impact a person’s life for years to come. Get around people who love life, laugh and speak life. We do become like those we spend time with…

Finish Well,
