The Power of Words in Our Lives

An uncle of mine narrated an incident that happened a long time ago. He was driving when his car suddenly developed a fault and stopped, thereby causing a traffic hold-up.

While he was battling to push the car out of the road to make way for free flow of traffic, a young man suddenly walked up to him and told him to get his car out of the road, calling him an old man in the process.

My uncle, an elderly man, did not utter a word but he also was not happy with the insults from the younger man.

The young man still continued with his insults and shouting at my uncle to get his car out of the way and still called him a foolish old man. When my uncle could no longer stomach the insults, he turned to the young man and said, "May you never see old age".

The young man insulted my uncle one more time and then made to cross the road. Just then a truck was coming and it knocked the young man down, killing him instantly. Would you call that a coincidence? Just hold on.

Another true story was told involving a mother and her son who had done something wrong that made his mother angry. The angry mother then ran after her child to beat him and said at the same time, "By the time I get you, you will be dead".

As she ran after her son, the boy made to cross the road to escape from his mother and a car coming with speed knocked him down and killed him. True to the mother's words, she caught up with her son who was now dead.

Better believe it, the two stories above represent real incidents that show us the power of the words we speak every time we open our mouths. Sacred scripture tells us the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in the gospel of St. Mark 11: 23 and I quote, "I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him".

The book of James 3:7-10 also states, "Man is able to tame and has tamed all other creatures- wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish. But no one has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of deadly poison.

We use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father and also to curse our fellow-man, who is created in the likeness of God. Words of thanksgiving and cursing pour out from the same mouth. My brothers, this should not happen".

Do you see the link between the second scripture quotation above and the two true stories told above? Note also, in both cases the people who spoke the words said it when they were angry (emotion involved). There you have another wealth secret: the words we speak with our mouths from within the depths of our hearts on issues affecting us.

If there is something you truly desire, speak it out with your mouth with conviction and do not doubt in your heart that it can happen, and it will surely happen.

However, I also want you to note something very important. The problem with most people is that they say something positive with their mouths one minute and sometime or some day later, they say something negative on the SAME issue, thereby cancelling out the positive comment on the matter. And they then wonder why they are yet to receive what they proclaimed.

Some others say positive things without any emotion or faith and they also do not receive it because it can ONLY work when the words are said with emotion or faith. Sacred scripture defines faith as "being certain of things we cannot see, being sure of things we hope for". It simply means you are definitely convinced that thing you say or said will happen.

The message is clear: if there is any one thing you desire in life, you have to say it in words, say it with emotion or faith, and say it consistently and it will surely come to pass.

Anything said to the contrary on that same issue will cancel it out and it will not happen. Consistency is the watchword here in positively proclaiming the things we desire in life.
