What on earth are you saying?
Have you been saying things like… “This child is going to drive me crazy. He’s just like his daddy. My boss is worrying me to death. I’m just working to pay bills. I’m never going to get ahead.”?
Does your life seem to be either at a standstill or spiraling rapidly out of control? Are you wandering aimlessly through life and feeling bitter about it? Do you find yourself in a constant state of murmuring and complaining, wondering why you are maintaining a perpetual rut? If any of these describe your feelings, then you are probably reading this book because you want to experience a change in your life.
Sowing and reaping are not only activated through your giving, but also through your speaking. So, be very careful of what slips through your lips.
Consider this a friendly reminder that “…whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:19). How do you think the binding and the loosing takes place? It all takes place through the words that we speak. Whether you realize it or not, every time we speak something happens in the atmosphere (here on earth and in heaven).
So, don’t say that things in your life are out of your control. It may have been you that spoke the unwanted circumstance or situation into existence. Therefore, you are in control. You are a powerful being and an important part of God’s kingdom. Do you realize that whatever you speak can come into being – good and bad?
To speak means to give sound.
The ability to speak is a gift from God. Use your gift wisely. You have the ability to sound off into the earth.

About the Book
Don’t Say That! Author encourages readers to change their lives by changing their words Have you ever considered that maybe the things that happen in your life are a direct result of your own words? In her new book Don’t Say That! How to Keep Your Words From Hurting You (published by AuthorHouse), Marsha Lynn proposes that our words, whether they are negative or positive, become reality. Lynn has chosen examples from the Bible to support her argument, clearly suggesting that in order to change your life, you must change the way you speak. Most of us have no filters, saying whatever comes to mind, but Lynn says that every time we speak, something happens in the atmosphere and our words become more powerful than we may realize. Lynn tells readers to ask themselves what they’ve been talking about, and compare it with what has been manifesting in their lives. Chances are, she says, readers will see a correlation between the two. “It’s simply time for us to change our outlook and mindsets, thus changing our conversations,” Lynn says. Don’t Say That! How to Keep Your Words From Hurting You offers an easy to read handbook that can be carried at all times and consulted for purposes of reminding us to monitor our words. Each chapter is a demonstration of the ramifications of our conversations, and Lynn encourages readers to take control of their lives by taking control of what they say. Perhaps the best part of Don’t Say That! How to Keep Your Words From Hurting You is its uplifting message that life can be changed for the better with the simple switch in the way we speak. Readers will find the book inspiring, enlightening and most of all, empowering.
