SWT - Day 25 Life and Death Are in the Tongue
Day 25 — Life and Death Are in the Tongue
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”
— Proverbs 18:21
“Your words are never neutral—they are always planting something.”
— Dr. Daniel LeBlanc
Life and Death Are in the Tongue
Words are not accessories to life—they are architects of it. Scripture does not describe the tongue as influential; it describes it as powerful. Every word spoken carries direction. It either releases life or reinforces death, builds purpose or erodes it, protects inheritance or sabotages it.
After understanding that faith must be sown (Day 22) and spoken with authority (Day 23), and that wealth is assigned to purpose (Day 24), this truth becomes unavoidable: what you speak determines what survives. Many people lose momentum, provision, and legacy not because God withholds—but because their words undermine what Heaven is building.
You cannot speak purpose on Sunday and death over it all week. You cannot declare faith publicly while privately rehearsing fear, lack, and defeat. Words spoken casually still carry authority. The tongue does not wait for perfection—it simply releases whatever it is given.
This is why Proverbs says you will eat the fruit of your words. Fruit grows over time. It develops quietly. It matures consistently. Most outcomes in life are not sudden—they are harvested. Your future is being shaped daily by what you repeatedly say.
The enemy understands this principle well. He cannot cancel God’s assignment, but he can tempt people to speak against it. Complaining, negative forecasting, self-disqualifying language, and agreement with lack all become tools to weaken momentum. Death is rarely dramatic—it is usually conversational.
But life works the same way. When you speak God’s Word—especially when circumstances disagree—you protect what God has entrusted to you. You create boundaries around your assignment. You guard provision. You reinforce purpose. Faith-filled speech becomes a shield over destiny and a safeguard for generational blessing.
This is especially critical when training the next generation. What they hear consistently becomes what they believe instinctively. If they hear fear, scarcity, and defeat, they inherit limitation. If they hear faith, purpose, and expectation, they inherit confidence. Words are the first inheritance you pass on.
Life and death are not decided in moments of crisis—they are decided in daily language. The tongue reveals what the heart is agreeing with. When your words align with Heaven, your life begins to follow.
Prayer
Father, bring my words into alignment with Your truth. Guard my mouth from careless speech and unconscious agreement with fear, lack, or defeat. Teach me to speak life over my assignment, my resources, and the generations connected to me. Let my words protect what You are building and produce fruit that honors You. Amen.
Declaration
My words release life, not death.
I speak in agreement with God’s purpose and promises.
My tongue protects my assignment and my legacy.
I will eat the fruit of faith-filled words.
Application
Pay attention today to the words you speak most naturally.
Identify one phrase or habit of speech that may be undermining life or purpose.
Replace it with a Scripture-based, faith-filled declaration.
Speak intentionally—remembering that every word plants a seed.
