Many times we speak and if only we would put something behind what we say it would do some good for whom it is intended. In most cases, you will have to repeat. Especially in the Lord’s work, as with Jesus in Mark 2, when Jesus was questioned about his work. Verse 9 says: “Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?” Jesus says, with meaning, in Verse 11: “I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.” The bible says in Verse 12: “And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.” When Jesus spoke with emphasis something happened. It works the same with us. There is a saying that I have heard “put something into what you say”.  It means a lot when we speak with meaning as Jesus did.
