Proverbs 18:21: "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."
Are you seeing results in your prayer life? Are the mountains in your life moving or growing? If you’re honest, do you have control over your tongue?
The words we speak have a vital role to play in our walk of faith. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that our words have the power to build up and to tear down, to bless and curse, and, ultimately, the power of life and death.
The words you spoke yesterday determined where you are today. The words you are speaking right now are paving the way for your tomorrow.
In this book you will learn: • What the Bible has to say about the tremendous power of the tongue. • The prominent role Jesus’ words had in the miracles He performed. • How your God-given authority as a believer can be exerted through faith-filled confession of the Word of God. • The importance of praise and prayer as a part of that confession. • How the destructive power of doubt and unbelief can undermine your walk with God. • The perils of gossip and criticism. • How to change what’s going in, so you can change what comes out!

MARK 4:35-41 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?" He got up, REBUKED the wind and SAID to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
Now, there were hardened career fishermen on board those boats, so it must have been some storm! Yet, even the elements obeyed Jesus’ voice of command. You will notice that Jesus didn’t calm the storm with a little wishful thinking. Unlike the Hollywood-style movies, He didn’t close His eyes, raise His arms to the heavens and shake dramatically. He knew exactly who was behind the vicious, biting wind and sweeping waves. He rebuked the wind. He spoke to the waves. They couldn’t hear Him, but the forces of darkness controlling them certainly could. Jesus’ words carried great power and authority, and the storm was stilled.
But that was Jesus, I hear you say. He was expected to do that sort of thing. He did so every day as he travelled through Galilee and Judea. John, in his gospel, commented that if all the things Jesus had done had been written down, the whole world would not have been big enough to contain the books produced. We could discuss countless other examples from each of the four gospels.
The following account of Peter raising a woman named Tabitha (or Dorcas) from the dead is extremely revealing. This was the same Peter who had huffed and puffed his way through Jesus’ ministry, lurching from ecstasy to depression, from doubt to faith at a whim. We are referring to the disciple from Jesus’ inner circle who denied Jesus three times on the night of His arrest, despite having heard all His teaching and witnessing all His miracles!
Peter was visiting the Christians in Joppa. There was a stalwart believer there called Tabitha, who had g
