Beth and Keith Moore - Destroying Harmful Words - Video
Most of us have been with a group of people and experienced harmful words that we have spent years replaying in our minds.
Words have a way of sticking with us, but we must learn to deal with hurtful statements that torment our minds and emotions. You have heard it before: hurting people hurt people. Their words express how their inner man feels—wounded and possibly mean-spirited.
The word tells us, “My dear brothers, everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” (James 1:19)
We know that quick anger can bring angry words. We wish we could get angry, critical words out of our hearts and off of our minds, but perhaps our greatest regret comes from things we let come out of our own mouths.
Most of us remember rejection, name-calling or critical comments meant to be defining words for us. You may think that healing comes by changing the actions of the one who hurt you, but it’s going to take some words. In some cases, you may never get words of apology, so it takes new, potent words to cancel out the power of harmful ones.
Have you had potent, negative things said over you? Words like, “You will never amount to anything.” In order to trump it, we need something omnipotent to replace it. Only God’s omnipotent words can cancel out potent, destructive words.
