IS YOUR TONGUE STARTING FIRES OR PUTTING THEM OUT?

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     I know we’ve discussed this before, but there is such dissension from the division in the world today I believe a review of what the God is saying is needed.

Proverbs 10:20

“The tongue of the righteous
is as choice silver,

The heart of the wicked is worth little.

     Our tongue was created to Praise the Lord, not to be used for evil.

James 3:5-6

“Even so the tongue is a little member

and boasts great things.

See how great a forest a little fire kindles!”

     Our tongue was never created to start fires of; hate, hurt, offense, division, or to destroy in rioting what you do not approve of.

Matthew 5:44

“But I say to you, love your enemies,

bless those who curse you,

do good to those who hate you,

and pray for those who spitefully use you

and persecute you,”

     God [Abba] will never work for you or anyone who curses instead of blesses a person, place or thing we’re told to do.  Only the twerp [enemy] will curse someone, unless they are his.  Let’s not make the twerp stronger than he already is.  You may not like someone because they offended you, your friend, family or our Heavenly Father, but the best way to deal with them is to bless, forgive and pray for them – It may seem hard, but when you do Abba can deal with them for hurting His anointed.  You will not raise your blood pressure, get an ulcer or dwell on hate that will eat at you.  Praying releases them for Abba to deal with – we’re not their judge, or we’ll be judged and condemned as we did to another.  Follow Luke 6:28, “bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.”  I promise, because He does, you’ll have an easier and blessed life if you do.

Proverbs 20:19

“He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;

Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.”

    The one who can’t keep a secret, should not be told one.  Usually, when we speak of another’s words about someone, we are being what the Bible calls a “talebearer” which is a “gossip”, because the issue never concerned us or the person you’re telling. The Word does say in Matthew 15:11 and Matthew 15:18  “It is Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

Proverbs 18:20-21

“With the fruit of a man’s mouth

his stomach will be satisfied;

He will be satisfied
with the product of his lips.

(21) Death and life are in the
power of the tongue,

And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

     As you can see, the fruit of a man’s mouth is pleasing if it will not cause strife, division, or anger.  You will be satisfied with the outcome of what you said.  Those who watch their tongues will get to birth fruit of the Spirit of the Lord.

     Brothers and Sisters, we need to start hearing the words we speak and listening for the Holy Spirit’s correction.  Apologize, even if you might not have been wrong in what you said – but for me, it was the way I said it, that got me into trouble.  Half right or half wrong doesn't matter.  Wrong is wrong, losing our temper or saying negative words, are not pleasing to Abba, you still need to apologize, removing your offence - their forgiveness is up to them.

     No one said these latter days would be easy.  In fact it’s just the opposite, only with Jesus' and the Holy Spirits help will we get through it.

James 1:2-4

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
(3) knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 
(4) But let patience have its perfect work,
that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

     I bind the spirit of division and cursing and command them back into the pit to never return, from anyone having the problems you’ve cause. I would also ask a ministering angel be placed at the mouths of those who need it, and Abba please reverse what the enemy has meant for evil, turning it to good.  In Jesus’ Name.  Amen = [So be it] and Amen= [Let it be].

Blessings to all who read the Blogs
