Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches us that our words have the power to either bring healing or inflict damage. This is evident in the way Jesus used his words to bring restoration and joy to those around him. For example, in John 15:7, Jesus says, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." This shows that when we are filled with the words of God, we can bring healing and restoration to those around us. On the other hand, when we use our words to condemn or criticize, we can cause harm and inflict damage.

However, the Bible also teaches us that we can't heal others unless we are first healed ourselves. This is evident in the story of the apostle Paul, who said, "I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to dothis I keep on doing" (Romans 7:19). This shows that we are all broken and in need of healing. But when we seek healing for ourselves, we can then use our words to bring healing to others. As the Bible says, "Love covers all offenses" (Proverbs 10:12). When we choose to love and forgive, we can bring healing and restoration to those around us.

In order to use our words to bring healing, we need to first seek healing for ourselves. This involves turning to God in prayer and asking for his help. As the Bible says, "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O God, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands" (Psalm 138:8). When we seek God's help, he can bring healing and restoration to our hearts, and then we can use our words to bring healing to others. By doing so, we can bring joy and restoration to those around us, and demonstrate the power of God's love and healing.
