Are words spirit? And what does it mean if they are?

Marriage After God

About this episode

Are words just sounds, or are they spiritual? In this Marriage After God podcast episode, Aaron and Jennifer Smith explore an overlooked truth: words are spiritual things. Just as God spoke the world into existence, what we say and what we listen to carries spiritual power. They look at 1 John 4 on testing the spirits, Jesus calling His words 'spirit and life' in John 6:63, and James 3 on the power of the tongue. Like learning to spot a counterfeit bill by knowing the real one, we test every message against God's Word. Aaron shares how lies like 'I'll never be free' kept him in bondage until someone replaced them with truth, and Jennifer shares a study of the Hebrew word 'amar.' A call to stop talking death and start talking life in your marriage.
