I Heard My Friend Talking About Me: The Power of Positive Words | Dag Heward-Mills

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills teaches on the promise of recovery in Isaiah 58:8, showing that when believers put away the pointing of the finger and the speaking of wickedness, their light will break out like the dawn and their recovery will speedily spring forth. He explains how negative words amount to defamation, making it impossible for people to be seen as good in the eyes of others, and calls believers to speak positive things instead. He illustrates the devastating power of unrecovered pain with the story of a gray-haired man at a family gathering who sat alone in silence because he never recovered from his wife's death. He also shares a personal testimony of overhearing a close friend speak badly about him behind his back, and the friend later confessing he wished he could take back everything he said. Bishop Dag urges his listeners to let their righteousness go before them and to say positive things about the church and about one another.
