What are you talking about?

Larry grew up in an environment that was far from God. His mother was so upset with her past choices she expressed her anger and unhappiness towards Larry. Because Larry’s mother was abused as a child, always made to feel inadequate and told over and over again how much she was a mistake. She repeated the same type of behavior towards her own child. Larry grew up hearing the same familiar rage his mother heard as a child.

Unfortunately, a family curse was planted in this generation years ago; today Larry is married with a baby of the way; Larry battles with depression, and anger issues. He needs daily encouragement from his wife and questions why someone as lovely as her would want to stay with him and all his issues. These feeling were formulated by the words his mother planted in his mind as a child. Larry has to make a NOW decision to create the future God desires for his life, not what the enemy desires.

Does he continue to feel sorry for his self, and blame his unloving childhood for his current situation? Does he have a right to stay angry with his mother for the mistakes she made? We all have generational curses, but that isn’t an excuse to repeat the behavior, nor to carry unforgiveness. You have every right to stay in your mess, but thank God for Jesus who has shown us away out. You can break that curse! You say, “Starting today I am a different person, this curse ends with me and will not continue in my family.” You have a choice. You don’t have to believe to lies the devil has tried to put on you.

Larry didn’t realize that what the devil meant for bad God turned it around for his glory. Larry’s wife is believer in Jesus Christ and prayed for him to be delivered and released from the strongholds on his life. Thanks to God, Larry realized who he really was, and everything that his mother said to and about him was a lie. He forgave his mother, and understands that it was never personal; she just didn’t know any better. The great part now is because Larry has forgiven his mother, God can work on her in Larry’s behalf.

Words are very powerful, so powerful that God created the earth and everything in it by speaking it into exist.

We kill people everyday with the words that come out of our month. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me….WHATEVER!! Why do you think that man picked up that stick and hit you with it? Someone said something to him. You can make or break someone by your words.

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the
fruit thereof.


Family, please take time to watch who you’re killing today by your words, you never know when someone can be right on the edge of jumping; your words can save them or push them off the bridge. Words have the power to kill your dreams, goals, self esteem, and even someone’s life. Instead use this power to uplift, encourage, grow, guide and lead someone into their destiny.

  1. If I could get the masses to understand the power of words we speak. I teach in my home, that these words go into our furniture, it gets in my pots when I cook my greens or my bowl when I beat my cake batter. We must mind our business, but more so mind our mouths!!!!
