How to Speak Life Over Yourself and Others

Posted by Kellie on May 23rd 2025

There’s a quiet war going on—one that often starts in the mind and is carried out through the words we speak. It's subtle, but powerful. And more than ever, it's time to take our words seriously.

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 18:21,

“The tongue has the power of life and death.”

That means what we say—about ourselves, about others, about our future—matters deeply. It can shape our reality, build up or tear down, align us with truth or leave us tangled in lies.

So how do we become people who speak life?

1. Start with Your Identity in Christ

Before you speak life, you have to know who you are in Christ.

The world may call you forgotten.
The enemy may whisper that you’re not enough.
But the truth? God calls you:
Blessed. Brave. Bold. Chosen. Found. Loved. Strong. Hopeful. Adored. Favored. Cherished. Known. Overcomer. Redeemed.

That’s not just nice language—it’s your birthright as a child of God.

And here’s the beautiful part: your identity in Christ cannot be changed by circumstance, shame, fear, or failure.
You are who He says you are. Period.

2. Change Your Language

We all fall into patterns of negative self-talk:
“I’ll never be good enough.”
“I always mess things up.”
“No one sees me.”
“I’m not as strong as I used to be.”

But when we’re intentional, we can interrupt that pattern and replace lies with truth.

Try this:

  • Instead of “I’m overwhelmed,” say “God gives me strength for today.”

  • Instead of “I can’t do this,” say “With God, all things are possible.”

  • Instead of “I’m not enough,” say “I am chosen and equipped.”

What you speak over yourself becomes the soundtrack of your spirit. Make sure it echoes Heaven.

3. Speak Life Over Others

Don’t stop with yourself. One encouraging word can shift someone’s entire day—or even their faith.

  • Tell your child they are loved and cherished.

  • Remind your friend that she’s brave, even when life feels heavy.

  • Tell your spouse they are strong and chosen, even in weakness.

  • Speak hope over the weary and truth over the wandering.

Words are free, but their impact is eternal. You never know the chains your encouragement might break.

4. Wear the Words That Speak Truth

That’s the heart behind our Speak Life Collection—a line of powerful words, hand-stamped on meaningful jewelry, designed to help you remember who you are and declare who He is.

Each piece serves as both a reminder to yourself and a testimony to those around you.
You’re not just wearing a word—you’re wearing a truth that fights against fear, insecurity, and doubt.

Whether it's BLESSED for the woman learning to embrace God’s provision…
BOLD for the teen standing for truth in a noisy world…
REDEEMED for the one who’s walked through fire and still stands…

Each word is a declaration.
Each pendant is a promise.
Each piece is a lifeline.

5. Let It Become a Lifestyle

Speaking life isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily habit.
It’s choosing faith over fear.
Truth over emotion.
Blessing over cursing.

You won’t get it perfect. But every time you choose to pause, redirect, and speak truth, you’re partnering with God in renewing your mind and restoring your heart.

Final Word

The world is full of noise, but your voice was made to speak life.
So speak it boldly.
Wear it proudly.
And never forget—
You are who He says you are. And that is more than enough.
