    About this ebook

    The words you use are tools of communication. However, it’s the way you use them that has the real power. When you have an optimistic frame of mind, you’re far more likely to recognize opportunities when they arise.
    The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. The way you use and choose words defines who you are. Words have power. God created the world with words.
    The Bible plainly says, we shall decree a thing and it shall be established.
    Are you ready to harness the real power of spoken words?

      The Bible which is the Word of God tells us that, The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21) For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7) and For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. (Matthew 12:34)

      Now, let’s look at:

      James 3:5-12 New King James Version

      Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.

      See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.

      The Bible says in Proverbs 15:4, A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit

      And, Proverbs 13:3 New King James Version

      He who guards his mouth preserves his life,

      But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

      Proverbs 30:5 New King James Version says:

      Every word of God is pure;

      He is a shield to those who put their trust in
