Mind Your Tongue Bible Study: Part I What Fruit Are You Eating?

Copy of Bible Study Part I_ What Fruit Are You Serving_.png

2019 is all about being intentional, especially with the words I choose to use to create my reality. I am so tired of the little deaths I’ve been speaking over my life that create their own realities of self-hate, disappointment, anger and unhappiness. Proverbs 18:21 says that, “death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit”. In order for me to create a reality that is filled with life, then I must speak it.

God knew we would need scriptures such as this to help us tame our tongues not only with the words we say to others, but also what we think. This Bible Study is focused on helping us to examine the thoughts we think and he words we speak. Throughout this three-part course, we will use Proverbs 18:20-21 as our guide, examining how we can incorporate these wise words into our daily lives.

We will explore the power of our words in three capacities: 1) What we say to ourselves, 2) What we say to others, and 3) What is being produced by the words we say.

Part I: What Fruit Are You Eating?
When was the last time you paid attention to the words you speak, specifically to yourself? This week, we will dive into the fruit you’re eating (the words you are saying to yourself), and how you can transform those words to create a reality of peace.
