The fifth chapter of the book of Acts describes how followers of Jesus were adding many believers because of the signs and wonders being performed and by healing multitudes of people. Because of the apostles’ popularity with the people, the leaders of the temple, filled with envy and jealousy, ordered them imprisoned. Acts tells us: “During the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, brought them out, and said, ‘Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.’” The words we speak on God’s behalf can shape our lives and the lives of those among whom we move. As much as your thoughts and feelings influence what you say, what you say can influence how you, and others, think and feel.
