“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.” ‭‭— Proverbs‬ ‭12:25‬

     Anxiety is the root, and depression is the fruit, and if you let anxiety grow into its fullness, it produces depression.

     But a good word prunes or removes the root of anxiety, making the heart glad.

     So a good word is a perfect word spoken by a perfect God at a perfect time that it may produce a perfect work. Which is the perfect love that casts out all fear. So that a man’s heart may know goodness, and be glad.

     Such is the purpose of a good word - being the gift of life that is prophesy - for all the gifts are life, for they are of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit IS life. For all things produce fruit after their own kind. So if the Holy Spirit is life, the Holy Spirit produces fruit after His own kind. Which is life.

      Which is why God says seek all gifts - for they all produce life - but ESPECIALLY prophesy, because it produces the special life that is a heart that is glad.

    So stir the gifts, Father God, and wake them and release them, especially prophesy, that they may release the perfect life in every heart, every house and every nation that is Your perfect love made flesh through a perfect word spoken at a perfect time and season. For there is a time and a season for everything under heaven.
