Speaking is beneficial to us and to the hearers of what we are saying if only what we are saying impact, changes the situations or causes the person to make adjustments to their lives that is beneficial to them. Any word that we speak that does not uplift others does not come from the source of hope. We have a responsibility to be slow to speak, but quick to hear, so that we can speak with authority to people or things because we have heard from the Lord. www.paulugobor.com
