The Power of Life and Death

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  
John 1:1

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.  
Proverbs 18:21

Before time...The Word.
The Word began time.  Began beginnings.  Began endings.
With God.  Is God.

The Name that should not be uttered in vain.
The Name above every name.
The Name by which demons flee.
The Name in which believers pray.

God
Jesus
Some say these two words without thinking or feeling.
Perhaps God and Jesus never say the names of the irreverent.   
To be nameless in heaven is hell.

The word shone on the first day when He said it.
The clouds rose when the words came out of His mouth.
The visible tangible audible came from the invisible intangible inaudible word of God.

People live by every word from God’s mouth.

Prophets ate words.

What do you hear when you read my words?
When people think your name, what comes to mind?
When you hear your name, why is it hard to ignore or not answer?

Some words jump off of pages, creating rages.
A song brings memory.  Poetry imagery.

One text changes a day.
No text--depression.

How are two united in marriage?

Vows.   
Words.
“I will.”   
“I do.”
How do marriages end?

Words.

Accuracy

All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. 
Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 
For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. ----Jesus
He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.  John the Baptist.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 
John the Apostle

I want to be accurate.  To never be mistaken in what I say or convey. 
This morning I misheard someone, and thus misspoke.  I repent. 
Hear accurately.  Test accuracy through feedback.
Yes.
No.
I don’t know.
See.
Hear.
Directly experience.
Say only what I see, hear, and directly experience.
This greatly reduces words, written or spoken.
Is this possible?  Why or why not?
Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
James, brother of Jesus.
