• Words consist of vibration and sound. It is
these vibrations that create the very reality
that surrounds us.
• Without words, a thought can never
become a reality.

hear words that may
destroy us. But we can
choose words to:
Uplift us
Inspire us
Encourage us
Motivate us
Words that can only be found in Jesus Himself, in His story,
experiences, mission for He is the word.

the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the
Word was God.’ ( Jn.1:1)
