Negative words tear people down and exposes them. "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)
(Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.)
Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester. "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)
When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Satan to torture and torment them more.
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Spirit, the Holy One, will not be forgiven, either in this world and age or in the world and age to come.
Either make the tree sound (healthy and good), and its fruit sound (healthy and good), or make the tree rotten (diseased and bad), and its fruit rotten (diseased and bad); for the tree is known and recognized and judged by its fruit.
You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.
The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things. (Matthew 12:32-35 AMPC)
Being broken in Spirit is just like a broken record (as mentioned previously), nothing "Good" can get in because of the constant music of "Not good enough", Not smart enough", Your bad", "Your not like your brother or sister", "Your Black", "Your a woman", etc. won't stop playing! It repeats over and over! "A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken." (Proverbs 15:23 AMPC)
If you are the one speaking negative to others, bring to memory that you also were spoken too as a child in like manner and do not see how broken you are as well. Behavior, whether good or evil patterns!
God has continually put this on my heart to write about; whereas, many of us (me included) truly believe it's OK to speak to our loved ones, friends, and neighbors with malice in our hearts and receive approval from God!
God still loves you and will NEVER leave you NOR turn His back on you, but cussing, speaking ill of someone, and constantly finding fault is not acceptable or applauded by Heavenly Angels! It's the person with a heart of "Righteousness (right speaking, doing, and living) that gets applause; as well as seeking the "Good" in others ALWAYS. That person may do many things right and one thing wrong and we will focus on that wrong thing that magnifies into destruction of Spirit and conduct. "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning of it, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. (Ecclesiastes 7:8 AMPC)"
We overcome evil by doing good and KICK THAT WORD "CAN'T" out of your house too! It is "Prohibited" to even be a part of your vocabulary! Philippians 4:13 AMPC reads; "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]."
Which translates, "We can do ALL things, with Christ, who gives us the ability (With power, wisdom, and strength) the things the World would view as impossible! Nothing is "Impossible with God" to those who believe! We can get our inspiration from those, who in the world's view, should have never accomplished what they did.
Wilma Rudolph was diagnosed with polio at an early age and was paralyzed in one leg. She was born in an era where blacks were oppressed by whites of all things, especially medical care. Her Mother, despite the oppression, never stop believing God would heal her daughter. The advice she was given from doctors of massaging her leg and a few more therapeutic actions, helped, but it was God, who healed her child, in addition to her Mother's undying faith! She went from a brace on her leg to being the first American to win 3 Olympic Medals in track and field in a single Olympic Games. One of her many inspirational quotes is: "I can't are two words that have never been in my vocabulary. I believe in me more than anything in this world." Wilma Rudolph
George Washington Carver, who surpassed human kind with his longevity of life and intelligence; whereas, he was not expected to live past 21 years of age due to his failing health. His belief in God sustained him to live well beyond man's predictions, and he gave all credit to God for his success. He confessed that his faith in Jesus was the only apparatus that manifested his gift in the agricultural industry as well as his desire to pursue it so strongly!
One of my favorite quotes from him is: "God cannot use you as He wishes until you come into the fullness of His Glory. Do not get alarmed, my friend, when doubts creep in. That is old Satan. Pray, pray, pray." George Washington Carver
Another person who defied the odds is a young lady I have grown to know over these past few years that has encountered verbal abuse and left her spiritually broken.
A few years ago, this young lady was in a severe car wreck that smashed her right foot, she received severe trauma to her head, and broke her back in 4 different places; but her spine went untouched.
According to her injuries and recovery, she, again, by human standards, should be paralyzed. One of her doctors told her, "You need to Thank God, because there is no way anyone should have survived this car accident, as well as your spinal cord being untouched"!
Truly, it was the Hand of God that saved her spine and kept her from being paralyzed. Today she has a new song to sing - nothing short of a miracle! BUT, God is still doing the impossible! If you see this young lady today, you too, would be in disbelief after you hear her story - unless you too know the power of God and His Love!

YES prayer does work - and YES God is able- and YES positive talk brings about positive change in others and in you! QUIT listening to Satan, who tells you what you "can't" do or become - and KICK "can't" out of your mind, your speech, and your household!
