Power
Words is a compact version of Meyer's bestseller,
Me and My Big Mouth. The book is 153 pages and the audio
is 3 hours and 25 minutes. Audio listeners will appreciate
Jodi Carlisle's pleasant tone throughout the narration of
audio.
In Power
Words, Meyers reminds us of the power we hold when we
speak. Think about it -- do your words tear down or build
up? What about those shy, self-depreciating things you say
because you don't know how to take a compliment? Believe it
or not, mere comments can change your life for better or worse.
Power Words gives readers a summary of the power
of God's Word and how we should use it. Joyce explains our
words and how they can curse our future. I think what struck
me the most is how our words affect more than the natural
realm. Joyce begins with Romans 10:9-10 - confessing "with
your lips"/ believing "in your heart." Confessing
is actually "making secure." In other words, pessimistic
or angry comments go beyond feeling grumpy and cross. Joyce
tells us those "words are spoken into the unseen
realm and call forth things that have not yet happened, as
though they are already taking place." Joyce shares
how she made a list of things she knew rightfully belonged
to her as a believer. (She shares the list at the back of
the book.) Joyce spoke faith-filled words into the atmosphere
and God began using them to reshape her circumstances. One
of her thought provoking comments stood out to me -- "Speaking
to our mountains" is not some kind of magic charm we
can pull out and use wherever we want something as we continue
to live carnality and disobedience." She explains,
"we can speak to our problems and our faith-filled
words will move them, as long as we are living in obedience
to God." Throughout this compact book, Joyce teaches
Christians how to take hold of their thoughts and words for
a stronger walk with God. What I enjoyed about Power Words
is how Joyce takes everyday situations and provides scriptures
to work through them. Also, there are three additions at the
back of the book worth noting: A: Confessions from the Word
of God. B: Scriptures to Remind You of the Power of Your Words.
C: Scriptures on the Power of Confessing God's Word.
