'Words are a big deal. They are containers for power, and we have to decide what kind of power we want our words to carry,' says Joyce Meyer in CHANGE YOUR WORDS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 'I believe that our words can increase or decrease our level of joy. They can affect the answers to our prayers and have a positive or negative effect on our future. One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes we have.'Building on the premises of POWER THOUGHTS and LIVING BEYOND YOUR FEELINGS, Joyce now considers the tremendous power of words. Here she provides a series of guidelines for making sure that our talk is constructive, healthy, healing and used to good effect.Topics include: The impact of words How to tame your tongue How to be happy When to talk and when not to talk Speaking faith and not fear The corrosion of complaints Do you really have to give your opinion?
The importance of keeping your word The power of speaking God's word How to have a smart mouthIn a 'Dictionary of God's Word' at the end of the book, Joyce provides dozens of scripture verses that she recommends reading out loud as one way of using and claiming healing words.
