My children, many traps the enemy sits before you. The biggest trap that the enemy uses against you is the one that comes out of your mouth. Today, I want you to pay attention to what comes out of your mouth.
I want you to see how well you can stay silent or speak in kindness no matter what is going on around you. I want you to see if your words bring life or death. Do you make excuses and tear down or do you tell the facts and hold up those who cannot hold themselves up?
Many things you are to pray about that you see, but instead you take matters into your own hands and speak about things that you do not have control over. This gives the enemy all sorts of ground to do things that are not meant to be done. My hands become tied up once again because the mouth does not stop moving.
I am asking you today My children to really watch what comes from your mouth. There have been times that I have taught you how much damage can come from your lips. I have taught you that out of your heart your mouth speaks. You get your heart and speech cleaned up but you do not stick with it and old habits come back again. You allow the dead things to become resurrected again.
I want you to put the old things to death today. I want you to allow them to die and be buried never to come alive again. Really get into My word and let Me show you what your speech should be like. Let Me show you how important it is to only speak the things of light and life and not of death and darkness. Let this really settle into your bosom and spirit today. Let this become a part of your life for good.
You will not have to worry about being prideful, selfish, or using your speech for your own gratification as long as you stay humble and allow Me to lead and guide your speech at all times. You will the enemy has caused so much perversion in it.
It is time to allow your tongue to be baptized in My Holy Spirit. It is time to get your tongue full of life and good fruit. It is time to get your tongue lined up with My word and only allow the truth to come out of it.
Really get into My word and see all that you are to be doing with your tongue. As you get your tongue and speech cleaned up, the heart shall become pure also. Put to practice what I show you and allow it to produce life again.
Really study My word and allow it to change your life. Let My Holy Spirit show you the truth and how to take each step. Let Him lead and guide you in the life that shall come from your mouth. I will be right here with you holding your hand and you will be able to make this change once and for all.
Now know the enemy is not going to like this change and will fight harder than ever to gain control back over your tongue. But make the decision this day, that he is done spreading his darkness from your lips and your lips will now be a gateway of truth and life. Fight back and know that you are already victorious.
“Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.” (Proverbs 21:23, NIV)
“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” (Ephesians 4:29)
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Proverbs 15:1)
Proverbs 12:18 (NIV)18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.” (James 3:2-10)
“keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.” (Psalm 34:13)
“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.” (James 1:26)
“Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.” (Psalm 141:3)
“For, whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.” (1 Peter 3:10)
“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21)
“The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.” (Proverbs 15:4)
“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:33-37)
“to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.” (Titus 3:2)
