About

I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

DO YOU HAVE A DANGEROUS TONGUE?

 

                                             

                         DO YOU HAVE A DANGEROUS TONGUE?

I HAVE WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT TALKING TO YOUR "MOUNTAINS" BUT TODAY I WANT TO JUST TALK ABOUT "TALKING".  A LOT IS SAID IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE TONGUE.  JAMES SAYS IN CHAPTER 3, VERSE 6 "And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell."  WE TEND TO SAY THINGS WITHOUT THINKING AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.  

 

WHEN YOU ARE TELLING THAT ILLNESS TO LEAVE US, THAT IS A POSITIVE WORD WHICH CAN BRING HEALING, BUT HOW MANY TIMES A DAY DO YOU SPEAK NEGATIVE WORDS.  YOU SEE A WRECK AND SAY "THAT'S GOING TO BE ME ONE OF THESE DAYS THE WAY I DRIVE".  SOMEONE COMES IN WITH THE FLU AND YOU SAY "WELL I GUESS I WILL HAVE THAT BEFORE LONG".  SOMEONE HAS A HEART ATTACK AND YOU SAY "THAT RUNS IN MY FAMILY AND I KNOW THAT WILL BE THE WAY I GO".  POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE WORDS COMING OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH.

WE SAY THESE THINGS NOT EVEN THINKING THAT THIS IS GIVING THE DEVIL AN OPEN DOOR TO PUT THESE THINGS ON US.  IF HE CAN MAKE US BELIEVE WE HAVE SOMETHING, I GUARANTEE YOU HE WILL HELP US GET IT.  HE IS THE DECEIVER, YOU KNOW.  SEE WHAT 1ST PETER 3:10 SAYS "For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:"  ONE DEFINITION OF GUILE IS DECEIT.  WE ARE DECEIVING OURSELVES WHEN WE SPEAK THESE THINGS OVER US. 

THE TONGUE CAN BE THE BEST WEAPON YOU HAVE AGAINST THE DEVIL.  JAMES 4:7 SAYS "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."  IF YOU ARE PRAISING AND PRAYING TO GOD, YOU ARE RESISTING THE DEVIL.  IT CAN ALSO BE THE BEST BLESSING YOU HAVE FROM GOD.  JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 21:22 "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."  

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS VERY CAREFULLY.  THEY ALL MEAN SOMETHING WHETHER IT IS GOOD OR BAD.  YOU CAN STOP THE BAD!!   JUST REMEMBER THIS AND I THINK IT MIGHT HELP.  JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 12:36 "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."   JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING AND I WANT TO BE AS READY AS I CAN....HOW ABOUT YOU? 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
