I know from personal experience I have had negative things spoken or curses over my life. Our words have power- Proverbs 18:21, and if we ourselves or others say things such as he never/always does that, then the effects manifest!
We can choose to accept what people say though, if someone speaks a curse, just in your head or out loud say I'm not accepting that, reverse it's effect, forgive the person, bless them and move on. Don't own it!
I've had people say about me, he's always quiet, but erm excuse me, please don't curse me, I have the living God inside of me. God bless!

Anyway, as I was thinking about this last night, it struck me how awesome and powerful God is to change us! Overnight when I became a Christian God delivered me from alcohol addiction, masturbation and other things took longer. But I was reminded not to think too little of God, He doesn't just get us over the line of salvation, and move on to the next person!

So I would encourage you not to speak/think negatively based on past/present experience. The truth is we are new creations, blessed and highly favoured, seated in heavenly realms, joint heirs with Christ, innocent and righteous before God. There is no limit to the power we can have through God, so expect amazing things and transformation!
The weaker and more reliant on Him and less on ourselves we are, the more He can perfect His strength in us and use us!

How is saying a person is quiet a curse? Some people are quiet. Thats not a negative thing inherently.

Indeed. I'm a quiet person but not because I'm shy/socially anxious/etc. I'm just more of a thinker than talker. :D

Words do have an incomprehensible power. You say stuff about yourself, you believe it. If someone you respect says things about it, you're likely to believe it... be careful what you say about yourself and others.

I don't think that was the point of his post. :) I think he just meant any thing you don't like about yourself being negatively reinforced by other people. It could be anything really. "He/she is so crabby/scatterbrained/lazy", etc.
Just because other people think things about you, doesn't mean you have to take it as permanent truth.

Exactly. Words have power. Let's live by faith, not by the natural. If only more people would realize the truth there /;

Whether or not it was the 'point' of his post, fact is, that is exactly what he said. He very specifically said being quite is a curse. I don't understand how that is. It can't just be an example because there is no truth to it and it makes no sense. Though i see he has already responded, by sidestepping the question. So i'm not going to waste my time coming back here since he isn't going to explain his poor choices.

To the person who misused the REP bar to talk down to me and try to correct me, first, grow up and say it to my face or keep quiet. Stop hiding like a child who can't stand up for the things they say.

Seriously, though, pathetic that you have to hide your identity to insult me or to try to call me out. When you man up enough to say it to my face and not hide behind REP comments, then you can have an explanation. Til then i don't owe you any explanation and you should stay out of things you aren't man enough to handle directly.

It wasn't me either. That didn't seem worth bad rep.
