The Power of Words (James 3:1-12)

Published 2021-09-02
Jackie Hill Perry taught a message at TGC’s 2021 Women’s Conference titled “Steadfast Speech: A Mighty Little Tongue.” James 3:1-12 formed the backdrop for her admonition to carefully control the tongue by the power of the Spirit. Perry taught that the tongue is accountable, the tongue is powerful, and the tongue is inconsistent.

Creating a better world through our words, she suggested, comes by addressing those realities in three ways. She called her listeners to be honest, to behold, and to be filled.

  • She just used her words, that are clearly filled with the Holy Spirit, to encourage us. Beautiful!!
  • "The way we talk about people says a lot about what we actually believe about God. Perhaps we have forgotten that our speech towards Him and each other are both forms of worship...What you say bears the fruit of who you really are."

  • Always thought That I shall not cruse other people even when i was just a kid. I did once or twice while in anger but I regretted it instantly. I never wanted my mouth to be filled with filthy words as I was raised as Christian plus my parents never spoke any cursing words infront of us though my all frnds used to curse nd cuss but I never accept that into my life. Now i feel Holy Spirit was working in me since then. Thank You God.

    The goal is for us to be transformed and that is God's job our job is to submit to God's leading through the Holy Spirit. It is not by our own might or power it is by my Spirit says the Lord . The Power to please God comes from God.
