Change Your Words, Change Your Life: Understanding the Power of Every Word You Speak Paperback – October 29, 2013
Purchase options and add-ons
"Words are a big deal. They are containers for power, and we have to decide what kind of power we want our words to carry. . . . I believe that our words can increase or decrease our level of joy. They can affect the answers to our prayers and have a positive or negative effect on our future. . . . One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes we have."
Building on the premises of her bestselling books, Power Thoughts and Living Beyond Your Feelings, Joyce examines how we use words-the vehicles that convey our thoughts and emotions-and provides a series of guidelines for cultivating talk that is constructive, healthy, healing, and used for good results.
Topics include:
- The Impact of Words
- How to Tame Your Tongue
- How to be Happy
- When to talk and when not to talk
- Speaking Faith and Not Fear
- The Corrosion of Complaints
- Do you really have to give your opinion?
- The importance of keeping your word
- The power of speaking God's word
- How to have a smart mouth
In "A Dictionary of God's Word" at the end of the book, Joyce provides dozens of scripture verses, arranged by topic, and recommends that we read them aloud to strengthen our vocabulary of healing words.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2015I've only just begun to read this one - have quite a few of Joyce's books. Already, this has done miracles for me. Truly. She is so articulate. True. Intelligent. Giving. Devoted to God's Word and to paying it forward. I am so thankful - to be thankful. One of the wonderful things about her works is that she makes us aware that we all have a soft place to land in the process of learning, growing, falling down and getting up again. We are always being unconditionally loved and supported by our Father. He's always there, always loving us - even when he doesn't love what we do. I've never really known what that was until I read her Beauty for Ashes. This is just more of the same - how can be better serve God and others by watching what we say. Boy, that's a good one for me... Anyway. Any of her works are invaluable resources for tapping into the Strength and Love of God, The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The more that I am reading, the more and more that I am thankful. What an incredible gift. I am always surprised by her writings. She surprises with insights rendered truthfully, faithfully, reverentially and faithfully to the Word of God - that's not the surprise. The surprise is that she always seems to say something in such a way that I did not anticipate it; and, without exception, it is something that I needed to hear, to take in, to meditate on. My goodness. What a tremendous gift Joyce is. I am eternally thankful for her, her ministry and all that she gives.
Update: This is SUCH a powerful book. This one, I think more than any other of hers, has had the most profound affect on my thinking, feeling, praying, behaving. She speaks with not merely authority, but humility, sincerity, clarity, passion, humor, all of it - and an obvious love of the Lord, and an unswerving belief, faith in what we can accomplish through Him. Beautiful.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2012*****
This latest book by author Joyce Meyer is life-changing, literally. Like every Joyce Meyer book, it is clear, simple, very inspirational, and fully of hope and blessing. It is a book written for Christians, and in my opinion, deeply needed by the church. It is very realistic and practical, not a stereotypical "positive confession book", although it does advocate speaking positively and it does advocate confessing Scripture to walk in faith. It never advises denying reality. Instead, the author champions the concept of "speaking with faith instead of fear", which she explains that "...that doesn't mean that we deny our circumstances, but we do deny them the right to rule over us." In short, this is a balanced book, through and through.
The chapters explain so much about how our thoughts and our words are related to the quality of our lives--and about how we can take control of both our thoughts and our words and then speak and think in agreement with the Word of God. The chapters cover topics like: speaking with hope, speaking foolishly, when and how to speak about our problems, dealing with anger, "fasting our words", complaining, encouraging, loving people with our words, deep listening versus surface listening, self-talk (this was my favorite), gossip, giving our opinion, keeping our word, and so much more.
The author is very transparent. She writes that one key reason she wrote the book was to help herself. She gives many examples of the challenges she has faced, and how much time and effort it took to overcome them; she also admits some problems that she still struggles with. The book includes lots of illustrations of the points she makes in memorable and moving stories.
The book also addresses the challenges in the world of cyberspace and the changes in communication patterns brought about by technology.
The book ends with an appendix of Scripture verses for various difficult life situations, formatted and organized in a way that they can be read, believed, and said both in your heart and with your lips.
The author prays that this book will be a turning point for the reader, and I think it will be, as it was for me.
Highly recommended for Christians who want to live an empowered and obedient and joyful Christian life.
*****
UPDATE 9/15/12: I originally read this book on the Kindle. I ordered a hardcopy too, because it is just that good. I wanted to mention that the font in the hardcopy is happily quite large--about 14 points or so--easy for these older eyes to read! The paper can take a highlighter without undue bleed-through as well.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2012Good examples of what to say and not to say with scripture back up. This is a book I will be reading over and over again as I try to learn to speak what God says to improve my life and to encourage other persons. An inspiration to change my negative words and attitudes to positive in every situation. I realize that I have not been as encouraging to my husband as I should be. I need to be encouraging to every one I meet if it is as simple as giving a compliment. I have not yet finished the book, there is so much I need to go back and re read and scripture I need to say aloud and mediate on.
