Most people have no idea how powerful the words they speak are. There’s a popular saying, “words create worlds” that comes from the story of God creating the universe with His words. But, most people don’t realize that what they say creates the world around them.
We’re made in God’s image and likeness, so just like His words have creative power, so do ours.
