I like your name. Acacia wood was used in the construction of the Tabernacle of Moses in the wilderness.

I appreciate your compassion and gracious desires for Nicholas. I would share with you that I too was brought up in churches that often quoted the Scripture that states "life and death are in the power of the tongue." Many times, this Scripture is misapplied, however. The prosperity and "name it and claim it" crowd have especially abused this verse. They think they can speak anything into existence their carnal soul desires and it will occur.

In truth, our words only produce life when we are speaking in accordance with the words and thoughts of Yahweh. Anything else is empty and vain.

To the degree that your words, or mine, spoken for Nicholas (or any other person) are in accord with the mind and thought of God, they will stand, and not fall to the ground empty.

Being called of Christ to serve as a teacher to His body, I felt led to add this note to follow up your comment.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.

I have just now prayed for both Eliana and Nicholas. The testimony you shared of Nicholas was particularly touching for me. We know from the Heavenly Father's Word that the power of life and death rests in the tongue; therefore, I want am speaking life everlasting in Christ in addition to protection and provision of the Heavenly Father for Nicholas.

May God the Father bless you and keep you safe from all harm for the glorification of His name.

Sincerely,
Acacia R.
