KILLER WORDS

Proverbs 18:21a - Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

TV One’s  “Unsung” is a documentary program which  profiles music acts who were once major influences in the prime only to have their careers derailed by misfortune and crisis. Last night’s episode featured legendary singer and musician Billy Preston who died in 2006. His then manager who witnessed his death gave an account of his final moment. She recalled, “He was laying on his side trying to gasp for air, and I said Bud you got to relax.” Billy Preston uttered, “I CAN’T” and coded.

Preston’s final two words were “I CAN’T.”  For believers of Christ, “I CAN’T” are killer words. They kill dreams, ministries, marriages, friendships, and opportunities.  When a Christian declares “I CAN’T”, he accepts mediocrity and minimizes the power within.  There are those, spiritual serial killers, who habitually use killer words. Don’t allow negative attitude and speech of spiritual assassinators to infiltrate your mind.

Philippians 4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  Through the direction of the Holy Spirit and Word of God, F.L.A.M.E.S. Ministry is dedicated to providing you with a wealth of empowering & insightful information, challenges, opportunities and suggestions that will take your calling/purpose to another level in Christ. BELIEVE you can MEET the STANDARD set by God. Speak life over your situation. Your words can invoke the resurrecting power of Christ.  I CAN be the SERVANT God called me to be. SPEAK it. BELIEVE it.
