WORDS MOVE MOLECULES

WORDS MOVE MOLECULES

On the drive to work, I was praying out loud, and I noticed tiny wet spit flecks shooting out of my mouth. As I spoke words aloud, they were literally moving air molecules in the car. How far would these molecules travel? Who knows but God? I picture this process working like when people are playing dominoes, and one domino hits the next and makes the whole row fall down. Words move molecules like that, impacting our lives and other people’s lives as well. That’s how prayer works across the miles too, or words spoken into a phone.

Scientific research has been done to test the results of the phrases we speak. Kevin Trudeau, in his book, Natural Cures, says: “Words have power. Most people speak words that increase body stress and turn the body’s pH from alkaline to acidic. Words can change the way we think and feel. Researchers have concluded that speaking the correct form of words and thinking the correct thoughts actually changes a person’s DNA.”  

Nazi scientists after WWII did experiments using sound frequencies and words to brainwash ordinary people into thinking and acting in ways that were contrary to the way they would typically think and act. Words sung or broadcast in specific frequencies produce anger and frustration in listeners. That’s happening today. That’s why Jesus warned us: “Take heed therefore how ye hear” (Luke 8:18). “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad” (Luke 8:17).

Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, experimented to prove how words and frequencies affect water crystals. If they affected water crystals in the experiments, then they’re affecting us too because our bodies are made up of a large percentage of water. In children’s bodies, it’s 75 percent and in adults, about 60 percent!

In the experiment, people spoke different phrases in different tones, to water crystals, and then they took photos of the crystals. Harsh and mean words made the particles look very different from those that received gentler words. The water molecules in this experiment responded to words and frequencies, and so do the water molecules in our bodies.

We probably all could use a little work on what we say and how we say it. Don’t you agree?

God knows a lot about words, and the Bible has important things to say along these lines. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Prov. 18:21). “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth” (Prov. 6:2). “A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul” (Prov. 18:7).  

We shouldn’t be so frivolous about what we say. How often, if confronted, would we say, “Oh, I didn’t really mean it”? But if we continue saying things like, “It blew my mind,” or “My foot is killing me,” or “It scares me to death,” our brains start to believe what we say, and then send those messages to the rest of our body. Our body parts start to respond accordingly.  Just one example would be if our body thinks it’s being threatened, it could start to over-produce cortisol, the fight or flight hormone, and begin shutting down other vital activities. In other words, speaking puts these things in motion. God says if we keep speaking it, or allow ourselves to continue to hear certain words, they will come to pass.

God’s Word says that speaking something is a law of life, just like the law of gravity: The minute you drop it, it’s going to move.

Here are some good word things from the Bible to think about:

“Hear, for I will speak excellent and princely things; and the opening of my lips shall be for right things” (Prov. 8:6).

“A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger” (Prov. 15:1).

“A gentle tongue is a tree of life” (Prov. 15:4).

“Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips” (Ps. 141:3).

Let’s move some good things around with our words, and remove the bad ones.
