Words are like water and fire. They are constructive when under control but destructive when out of control. Unfortunately, a lot of people either does not understand the power of words or forget to control it. They just say whatever they feel or think.
Words can be physically and spiritually destructive when not controlled. Right words brightened the soul of both the speaker and the hearer whereas wrong words defiles it. This perhaps, is the primary source of corruption or defilement for some person.
Matthew 15:11 NLT says
It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
Here, Jesus made it clear that words defiles. And what exactly does it defile in the body? The soul! A defiled soul is a corrupt, impure, unclean and unholy soul. When a soul is defiled, spiritual things such as prayers, study God’s word, worship God becomes a burden and unenjoyable because it is the soul that communicate the desire of the spirit to the flesh for action. And once the soul is defiled or corrupted, it becomes hard to connect to the spirit.
Check yourself, could this be the reason your spiritual life have been going down? Have you been using your words to brightened, encourage and supercharge yourself or you’ve been using it to corrupt and defile your soul? It’s high time you pay attention to this!
