Does this mean that every single word you speak or think actually affects your life? YES.

Your words are powerful! They are seeds. Remember that Jesus one of the Parables that Jesus taught was the Parable of the Sower.

In the interpretation of this parable Jesus likened the seed to the Word. Yes it was the Word of God He was referring to, but we also need to remember:

We are created in His likeness.
God used His Words to create this world.

God uses words to create and He entrusted us with this same power. This is a part of being created in His image.

Do your words bless those around you as well as your life?
