Words have the power of life and death, but it’s not just us who use words. The Devil uses words as well. The enemy uses words to deceive, discourage, and destroy. He doesn’t just show up as himself either; he’ll use anyone willing to give him their mouth to speak. The enemy will use friends, family, co-workers, mentors, anyone with an open door in their lives that allows him a way in. How can we overcome these attacking words? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he shows us the power of how we react to words in his message, Not Just Mere Words Pt. 5: Words That Defeat.

Words That Defeat

¹  Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he jeered at the Jews. ² And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of Samaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” ³ Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building—if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” ⁴ Hear, O our God, for we are despised. Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives. ⁵ Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from your sight, for they have provoked you to anger in the presence of the builders.

We all know the old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” but is this true? Do words have any effect on our lives? Are words powerful, or do words have no effect on our lives? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to what truly defiles us in his powerful message, Not Just Mere Words Pt. 4: Words That Defile.

Words That Defile

¹⁰ And He called the people to Him and said to them, “Hear and understand: ¹¹ it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” ¹² Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” ¹³ He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. ¹⁴ Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” ¹⁵ But Peter said to Him, “Explain the parable to us.” ¹⁶ And he said, “Are you also still without understanding? ¹⁷ Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? ¹⁸ But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. ¹⁹ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. ²⁰ These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”

When we speak, our words bind us or release us because we will be judged by those words. In today’s society, we’ve become more and more careless with our words. We say things like, I’ll pray for you, but never even think about that person or their situation again. We make promises and vows that we never keep. What is happening in the spiritual when we speak and break our words? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the spiritual battlefield fought with our tongue in his message, Not Just Mere Words Pt. 3: The Strength of Words.

The Strength of Words

¹ Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. ² And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. ³ And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. ⁴ Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.”
⁵ And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. ⁶ And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. ⁷ Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” ⁸ So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. ⁹ Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
