It's All About What Your Heart Desires Life To Be

I was told the other day by an in-law that words were spells.  
Well, if you use your words with a heart full of witchcraft then yes...words are spells.
But...if you choose words that only positively benefit your soul and the soul of others, like the written WORD says to, then only light and good can be produced by your vocabulary.
Scripture says, "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speakeths," so...I guess they are right in one sense, if the intentions of ones heart is to speak evil and darkness, then yes, words are spells.
But, if the heart truly loves like we ought to, then there are fewer negative words spoken out of ill intent of the heart that wishes bondage or worse on others.
I would tell you to question your own baggage and see why you have the perspective you do.
Sometimes people turn everything good into something bad, or at least that's been my experience.  
Without words we could not say I love you,
or I forgive you, or encourage one another.  
Yes, speak life...Love...Forgiveness ❤️
Free will is a gift to speak life, use it for the freedom of yourself and others, not bondage.
