Proverbs declares 8.21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue.. A primary anti-aging power is available to all through ordinary dialogue with those around. Every spoken word builds the personality of the speaker as well as creating a future that must become reality because of the truth and powers in the words of the verse.

Be conscious of being attached to groups or even friends whose principle topic of conversation starts to become focussed on a very fixed expectation of the future. Ailments, conditions, circumstances, doctors and lawyers can suddenly grow in importance. Each conversation reveals a continuing growing force that dominates the dialogue.

The primary conversation from each of the challenged becomes their identifying trademark. Buckets of negative stories hit the atmosphere strengthened by fearfilled angry thoughts. Bodies suddenly start to become tired, faces become aged and life itself becomes a battleground. Very soon a powerful health challenge has an open door for fertilized growth.

This verse is more of a warning rather than just finding another way of confirming the powers of the spoken word. Death is a strong word, means what it says and must be observed throughout every conversation whether it be with the local baker or the cause of the problem.
