Life and death is in the power of the tongue

There has been the struggle for years between the culture of death and the advocates of life. I was studying recently about the angel Gabriel coming to Zacharias with the message concerning the future birth of John. Zacharias was struck mute until John was born, because he did not believe Gabriel's words. Is it just possible that he was struck mute because had he been able to speak he would have continued to speak doubt and unbelief which would have aborted the seed (the word of God)? How many times have we aborted the promises of God with the words of our mouth? Are we aware of the importance of the words we speak? We can speak life or we can speak death. Jesus said that with our words we are justified or condemned. Paul said, "With the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:10. It is great to have pro-life, anti-abortion convictions, but we need also be pro-life, anti-abortion with our tongues.
