We sometimes forget how important our words really are. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. We need to remember to speak positive words when the circumstances of life urges us to be negative and pessimistic.
I have been thinking about the power of words lately and when I came across this story, I thought it would be good to include in the message. As you read this story, I want you to think about the words that you are speaking concerning your life. Are you speaking words of blessing and prosperity or are you speaking words of defeat and misery? I hope this story ministers to your heart to be positive no matter what the circumstances are and no matter how hard the enemy is trying to discourage you.
A son and his father were walking in the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?" He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!" The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!" The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains:
People call this an echo, but really this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; life will give you back everything you have given to it.
We are not always conscious to the fact that our words are creators. We either create life by the words that we speak or we create our own downfalls by the words that we speak. We are snared by the words of our mouth, meaning that by our negative words we are directing our life in the wrong direction instead of the positive words that lead our life in the right direction.
