Reckless Words

It is so challenging for me when I’m talking with folk who don’t have the knowledge of the importance of our words, so they speak reckless words, and it’s due to the lack of the right knowledge.
Definition of reckless: without thinking or caring about the consequences of an action. It’s more about not thinking than caring due to the perishing for lack of knowledge.
Years ago, I read the book called How You Can Avoid Tragedy and Live a Better Life. This book gives a great breakdown of how our words affect our lives. I highly recommend reading it, it’s by Charles Capps.
Recently, I was away for a few days to celebrate my father’s birthday, and that’s when the phrase came to me, The Reckless Use of Words because of the words being said by others.
A couple of my grandchildren were with me that weren’t feeling too well, and I was using my words to heal them.
When people that were staying at the house noticed, they would ask me if they are sick, and I would say, I’m not claiming that, and we would laugh; they are well.
Others started talking about them being sick and I stopped them and said this is why I didn’t say anything, I’ve been dealing with it with my words.
This is what makes it challenging.
We were having a different conversation about diseases, that are man-made to me, my opinion, that if the dr says you have something, I was saying you are not to receive it, it is in the receiving it that makes people have what the dr says.
Then others said you have to watch what you eat. I told them that I’m a testimony of eating what I want and when I want and I don’t have any diseases.
It’s not what you eat, again my opinion that I believe to be true, it’s what you believe about what you eat.
I talk a little about the belief in my latest book Boldly Take Charge of Your Life: 10 Steps to Break Free and Walk Into Your Destiny in the chapter on Healing is Your Birthright. Click here to order if you’d like to read the full chapter on it https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/RH2LY8EDYVCPC.
As I say, we have so much in God, we have so much power, we just have to learn it and not only learn it, use it; and I’m talking to myself too :). And we do that by gaining the right knowledge. That’s what I’m here for, to help you gain the right knowledge in order to make better choices in life to create the life you truly desire because victorious living is possible.
I also have a chapter on our thoughts and words in my book Boldly Take Charge of Your life: 10 Steps to Break Free and Walk Into Your Destiny. Make sure to purchase it so you can read it and begin your victorious living journey, click here: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/RH2LY8EDYVCPC
Another thing we have to do is be mindful of other peoples words, not just our own. For example, my grandson was being fussy, and someone said to him you’re miserable. I couldn’t hold it any longer because they kept saying it and said to the person to stop calling him that, remember our words.
Again, this is why it is challenging with people using reckless words, and due to not realizing the extreme importance of our words. I used to be this way years ago before I learned the depth of how important our thoughts and words are, in fact, they are extremely, extremely important. As the Word says, death and life are in the power of the tongue, and it surely is. Even though I have this knowledge, I’m not immune from saying the wrong things, I do eventually catch it and will change my words.
I encourage you to think about the words that you say and analyze them against your life, both now and in the past. Let me know that you see why your life is the way it is.
If you’re ready to break free, walk boldly into victory, and create the life you desire, I’d love to support you on your journey. Let’s connect on how we can learn to stop using reckless words and use our words wisely instead.
There is always hope for learning how to properly use our thoughts and words.
