THE
POWER OF WORDS
MAN'S
word, spoken forth into
creative mind, is endowed with power of
expression. "By our words we are
justified and by our words we are condemned."
Our word has the exact amount of power
that we put into it. This does not mean
power through effort or strain but power
through absolute conviction, or faith.
It is like a little messenger who knows
what he is doing and knows just how to
do it. We speak into our words the intelligence
which we are, and backed by that greater
intelligence of the Universal Mind our
word becomes law unto the thing for which
it is spoken. Jesus understood this far
better than we do. Indeed, He absolutely
believed it, for He said, "Heaven
and earth shall pass away but my words
shall not pass away tall ball be fulfilled."
This
makes our word inseparable from Absolute
Intelligence and Power. Now if any word
has power it must follow that all words
have power. Some words may have a greater
power than others, according to our conviction,
but all words have some power. How careful,
then, we should be what kind of words
we are speaking.
All
this goes to prove that we really are
one with the Infinite Mind, and that our
words have the power of life within them;
that the word is always with us and never
far off. The word is within our own mouth.
Every time we speak we are using power.
We
are one in mind with the whole universe;
we are all eternally united in this mind
with real power. It is our own fault if
we do not use this truth after we see
it.
