Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Speech can do good or harm. The person who is fond of talk should note which way its effects go. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”—think of that! Your tongue can be used to give out the gospel, and this will give life. It can also be used to say things that would drive people away from God, which makes it an instrument of death. The little tongue is the most potent weapon in this world. The Bible has much to say about the tongue, and we find a lot about it in the Book of Proverbs. This is a true Biblical principle, but don't go off into a ditch. Some charismatic prosperity heretics teach that you can create with your words. Yes, you can create love or dislike, but you can't create in the physical realm. This is a spiritual law, not a gimmick to make money. Know the difference and the verse will make sense to you. Guard your mouth, i.e., your words.
