It's easy for people to complain, but charismatic Christian speaker and author Joyce Meyer is warning people not to do so because it might destroy their relationships with God, the families, their friends, and even themselves.

"Remember that every word you speak has some kind of effect," Meyer wrote on her website. "Our words have the power of life or death in them – the way we speak really does matter. So it makes sense that we should avoid complaining at all cost."

Meyer believes that complaining is the enemy's language. When people do it, they open the door for the enemy to come in and cause trouble. In contrast, praise and thanksgiving are God's language. While it might be easier to do the former instead of the latter, Meyer said people should make it a practice to find the positive in every situation.

"Like I said before, it's easy to complain. There are many things that happen every day that we could murmur about. But they really aren't worth the effort it takes to get upset and gripe about it," she said.

It's also very unbecoming to complain because it is an act of ungratefulness and pride. It makes people feel that they shouldn't be inconvenienced or have bad things happen to them. So instead of focusing on the negative aspect of the story, Meyer said people should "look for the treasure in every trial."

"The truth is, I've done most of my spiritual growing during the hardest and most painful times of my life. The trials of life have caused me to press in to God. And as I've done that, He's changed me. He's helped me to develop an attitude of gratitude and humility, which has brought real freedom into my life," she shared.

It might be difficult to overlook the bad in every situation, but Meyer assures people that it's worth it. When people start accepting the fact that bad things happen and they will get hurt over life's trials, they will gain spiritual maturity in the process.

"Growing up in God is not comfortable," reminded Meyer. :There are times of sacrifice involved. And there will be times when God will ask you to do things and you'll feel that you can't stand it – but He'll give you the grace to do it."
