Nik Keswani’s recent interview with Pastor James Kawalya delivers a much needed message: our words are not just emotional expressions, they are spiritual weapons, either for warfare or self-destruction.
“We think that speaking out of frustration is harmless and that venting is just emotional release,” Keswani said. “But every sentence carries weight in the spiritual realm.”

Pointing to Scripture, Pastor Kawalya emphasized the spiritually legal ramifications of careless words. “Proverbs chapter 21:23, ‘Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles,’” he quoted. “That verse…isn’t just poetic, it’s legal authority in the spiritual world.”
Kawalya, who once served as a witch doctor before his conversion, warned that demons don’t always break in, they’re invited. “You are inventing, you’re signing spiritual agreements,” he said. “The devil doesn’t need to invade your life by force; he just waits for you to give him clearance with your own words.”
Former witch Erica Mukisa confirmed this from her own past involvement in the occult in a video clip Keswani played for his audience. “How do I capture a person’s spirit? It’s by involving in a quarrel or a fight with that person,” she said. “So that night they have a bad dream and that dream, if they don’t wake up to pray and cancel it, that is the end of them.”
These aren’t vague spiritual metaphors. Mukisa revealed that such exchanges gave her access to spiritually imprison victims. “I would go to that shrine, I call their spirit and I cage it in that web,” she said. “There are people who have been caged in trees, there are people who have been caged in places.”
Keswani’s takeaway was clear: “If you spoke defeat, confess it, cancel it and replace it with the truth. Because your words aren’t just suggestions, they’re spiritual blueprint. They will either fortify your calling or sabotage your future.”

The biblical warnings are real, and believers cannot afford to be careless with their mouths. Whether it’s during a heated argument or a moment of self-pity, the consequences aren’t just psychological—they’re spiritual.
“I will speak life,” Keswani urged viewers in closing. “Let’s stop agreeing with darkness and start declaring what heaven already says about us.”
