THE WORDS YOU SPEAK – PART 1

THE WORDS YOU SPEAK – PART 1

Lord open my eyes that I may see, my ears that I may hear, my mind that I may process and my heart that I may receive so that I may use my mouth to speak that which  you would have me to say; therefore do. The scriptures below gives us an idea of how we are to speak; not only to others but also to our self.

Proverbs 15:1 (AMP)15 A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath, But harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger.

Proverbs 15:4 (AMP) A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life, But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 18:4 (AMP) The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters [copious and difficult to fathom]; The fountain of [mature, godly] wisdom is like a bubbling stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].

Proverbs 18:20 – 21 Proverbs 18:20-21 (KJV)20 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth (whatever you speak (sow with your mouth that is what you will accomplish; it will come back to you); and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled (the more you speak on a thing that is the amount which you will receive). 21 Death and life (having an abundantly good life or having  a continuous sad, down trodden, overwhelming with troubles, life) are in the power (the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events) of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof ( shall be gratified by the results it provide).

Proverbs 20:15 (KJV) 15There is gold and a multitude of rubies (all sorts of gemstones that are thought to be priceless), but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel (but if the tongue is tamed to speak on the Word it is the most precious of our member).

When we monitor our words, with Yashuah’s help, we will always have and give the righteous answer. So be careful what you say. And when you find yourself heading toward a heated moment, be the bigger person (very hard I know but do it any way, your reward will be greater and much nicer, than standing and going toe to toe with an infidel (nonbeliever): walk away. Consider this: James 3:5 (NIV) 5 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 is a small part of the body, as a spark is compared to a flame. But both can do great damage if fanned and stirred up). Gods got it no worry no fear.
