We amplify thoughts that are not aligned with God's intentions, resulting in every action in this world being accompanied by some form of communication, whether it be private or public. It is true that speech can give rise to negative consequences, but I am not advocating for the suppression of freedom of speech. Rather, if we were to refine our speech, crime could be diminished significantly. In fact, our words possess the power to become potent weapons. No system created by humanity can come into existence without a process of thoughtful consideration and verbal expression. The key to cultivating genuine compassion, love, and faithfulness lies in transforming our manner of speaking to align with God's desires. We all have a tendency to speak carelessly, engaging in thoughtless banter and uttering words that harm our fellow believers.
The divine entity expresses both benevolence and malevolence through spoken words, and as humans, we possess the same capability. However, it is crucial to note that we refrain from invoking curses upon our fellow believers in Christ. In the book of Galatians, the apostle Paul did indeed articulate a curse, but it is incumbent upon us to respond to the verdict of the law by stating, "May it be as you have declared." Nevertheless, it is vital to recognize that this response is rooted in a highly practical approach.We are blessed with the community of faith as a refuge from the worldly influences that can distract us from our spiritual path. Those who prioritize worldly desires over spiritual growth do not have the love of the Father within them. In times of moral decline, it becomes even more crucial to seek solace and guidance within the community of faith. These challenging times require us to be more practical and resourceful in our approach.
However, it is important to acknowledge that we possess an inner realm where words hold the power of actions. Our understanding of how to navigate this inner realm is shaped by the ideas that are presented to us as we develop our own personalities. Consequently, a significant portion of society approaches personal power and relationships with an imaginative mindset, as our ideas generate the intensity of emotions we attach to people and objects. It is crucial, therefore, that we make a conscious decision to undergo transformation. This is why the apostle emphasizes the need to renew our minds, as the ideas we hold within ourselves influence the passionate manner in which we interact with others. It is through this process that we construct an imaginative world, comparable to that of an immature child. This occurs because when we rely solely on our own thoughts, without considering the thoughts of a higher power, we find ourselves in a world where our words become weapons.
