WATCH YO MOUTH PART 1

In his sermon, Pastor Bernie E Strickling delves into the profound implications of our words, drawing from Proverbs 18:21, which emphasizes that "death and life are in the power of the tongue." He highlights the dual nature of speech, which can either nurture or devastate relationships and challenges the congregation to be mindful of the words they speak over themselves and others. Pastor encourages listeners to reflect on their language, arguing that negative self-talk and harsh words can manifest as curses that hinder personal growth and relationships. He uses poignant examples, including personal anecdotes and familial interactions, to convey the seriousness of the impact of words on one's life and the lives of others. Pastor then shifts to an empowering message about the importance of speaking life into every aspect of existence, referencing God’s creative power in Genesis. He urges the congregation to envision positive outcomes and to speak life into areas that seem lifeless, whether it involves finances, relationships, or personal ambitions. By emphasizing affirmations rooted in scriptural truth, he encourages attendees to proclaim their worth and potential. The sermon culminates in a call to action, reminding everyone to "watch their mouth" and affirm their identities in Christ, which he believes is key to unlocking their God-given destinies. Ultimately, Pastor inspires the congregation to become proactive in speaking blessings and positivity into their lives and the lives of those around them.
