“Until we awake to the fact that we are One in nature with God, we shall not find the way of life. Until we realize that our own word has the power of life, we will not see clearly. The Bible points out that man has the same power, in his own life and in his own world, that it claims for God. ‘The Word was with God and the Word was God,’ is an oft-repeated but little understood statement. The promise to man is equally positive: ‘The word is nigh thee, even in thine own mouth that thou shouldst know it and do it.’ If any word has power, it follows that all words have power. It means that every word which we hear, speak or think, has some power.”

The Word of God is Jesus Christ, and it is Him we need. Thank you for sharing.
I like this…for too long I had no voice…
Wonderful wonderful quote.
I love God and am so thankful He is in my life
. Hope your week is wonderful and filled with prayer. It is good to know that God always hears our voice no matter how small or tired or stressed!
The Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We must never forget that the Word is Jesus. Jesus is God. Because of Him we have been given the power to become children of God.
Thank you for joining us for Spiritual Sundays.

Ernest Holmes was a wise man who understood the power of words because he understood the power of the subconscious mind. This is one of his famous quotes.
Thank you for inspiring quote!

That is deep, and that puts quite a bit of responsibility on us to be careful and thoughtful in all that we do, and speak. I like it,. I am going to print that out and put it on the mirror so I remember every morning.
That’s a beautiful photograph. Thanks for sharing that AND the quote.
It is a profound and wonderful thought. What we do and say has a lot of power and makes a difference. The words that we hear in our own mind also helps us move forward in life and make other lives around us better and meaningful. Thank you for the quote and nice picture.
