The Greatest Weapon ever created.
What is the Most Powerful Weapon created with the most Terrific Global Impact ever? No! It is neither North Korea’s Inter-continental Ballistic Missile Launchers, ANTI-MISSILE nor Missile Detector. Neither is it an American Drone nor Aircraft carrier, it's not even the Atomic bombs of HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI nor is it the much disputed Nuclear Weapon. The Most TERRIFIC WEAPON EVER IS IN THE MOUTH!!! YES!!! YOUR MOUTH! What Weapon is often used by Politicians to Run-down Opponents While projecting themselves? What Weapon is often used at Pre-Match Press briefings to defeat opponents Psychologically? What other Weapon was Goliath's most valuable Asset of intimidation besides his big Biceps and Sword? The Tongue !!! The legendary American heavy weight boxer, Muhammad Ali had a practice of First defeating his opponents in press-briefings before ever stepping into the boxing ring. Even football Manager, Josè Mourinho is such a genius in "mind games" on the media that he catches most gullible opponents napping. What Weapon does the Devil employ so often to : Intimidate, Indoctrinate, Dominate, Criticise and Terrorise, through Blackmails, Rumours, Accusations and Propaganda? In fact HIS VERY NAME IS THE DIRECT TRANSLATION FOR ACCUSER from the Greek language. JOB 1:6-11, 2:1-5, REV 12:9,10. What Weapon Was, is and Will be used to seal Satan’s permanent Defeat? The Tongue !!! What Weapon freed Peter from Herod's Sword? The Tongue!!! Remember …THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL (PHYSICAL MILITARY HARD WARES) BUT MIGHTY THROUGH…THE SPEAKING OF GOD’S WORD in Prayers, Praises, Preaching and Testimony.
…AND THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, AND BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; AND THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH. REVELATION 12:11 (KJV) Meaning we ought to use our Tongue even with a gun to our heads until the Trigger until the trigger is pulled and even after that if we can.
In fact according to scriptures; the heavens and the earth were created and will be destroyed by words. In Genesis whatever God commanded came to existence as commanded Genesis Chapter 1 and so shall it be it the end.
"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh" Rev. 19:20-21.
THE MOST POWERFUL CHURCH, IS NOT ONE WITH POLITICAL OR ECONOMIC POWER, BUT ONE WITH THE SPIRITUAL S-WORD (NEUCLEAR WEAPON) IN HER MOUTH !!!
Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! James 3:5
If God is a God of words, and if Jesus and his gospel are insepa-rable, then how should we—those who seek to follow him—use our words?
If only Men knew the potential damage that could be unleashed by the little red-dragon surrounded by white guards, we'll be far more careful and prudent in the use of it. In fact so highly does our Lord Jesus with God the Father treat words that he warns; "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Matthew 12:36.
No wonder the Psalmist decleared to God in worship; "...for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." Psalm 138:2
The book of Proverbs is an excellent place to start, giving pithy statements about what godly and ungodly speech looks like. For a sampling, consider these contrasts: Death and Life are indeed in the power of the Tongue so that it is capable of bringing or igniting war.
But there is so much more that can and should be said.
PROVERBS
GODLY WORDS
UNGODLY WORDS

There is no limit to the "positive" use of our tongues, what the Bible especially James 3:1-12 admonished us concerning it's use is prudence.
THE POWER OF WORDS
The category of sin mentioned second most often in the Bible is that of the tongue (number one is sexual sin)
• “The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.” (James 3:6)
• “He who has a perverse tongue falls into evil.” (Proverbs 17:20)
Our words have the power to bless or to curse – to speak life or death
• “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing.”(Deuteronomy 30:19)
• “Death and life are in the power of the tongue,” (Proverbs 18:21)
The LORD further encourages us to speak blessings, not curses because He will retaliate for us against those who speak curses
• “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who cursesyou.” (Genesis 12:3)
The Bible states quite clearly what it thinks about those who use their words to hurt or slander others
• “The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out.
It is extremely important to keep close control over our tongue
• “Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.”(Psalm 34:13)
• “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles.” (Proverbs 21:23)
