Today we have a deep verse. When you are saved, God starts cleaning you up from the inside out. One of the areas almost everyone needs this (including myself) is the area of the tongue. What are the words coming from your mouth? Do they encourage and edify or do they hurt and cause strife? Are you speaking blessings or curses? It is so easy to get frustrated and allow bad words to spill out. God can help change those words even in moments of anger.
Have you ever stopped to think about cuss (another word for βcurseβ) or curse words are called that? A curse is a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something; a coarse or blasphemous word or phrase used to express anger or other strong emotion. When you use those words you are unknowingly speaking curses over yourself or whoever those words are toward. You might say, no those are just words spoke in anger. Think back to using those words again. The devil says those are just words spoken in anger. He is a liar. Those words tear down, they hurt. You are not those words. You are a child of God.
Blessings and curses should never come out of our mouths and when they do we should repent. We need to call those words out and speak words inspired by the Sprit of God. No one is perfect, I understand that. But, God can help us in how we speak, with what we say (even in moments of pain or anger). Spend a little time examining yourself and asking God to help you in the areas that need it. Speak life, it truly matters. π¦ ~ Prophetess Michelle, #f8ithgal
βOut of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.β ~ James 3:10
