Life and death are in the power of the tongue
and yet we do not truly understand what that really means
we talk and talk, we live and live and yet we do not really think about what we are doing
and that is a huge problem
Lately I have been talking to my mom about the power of the tongue, and everytime that I speak to her she tells me that she is watching her words
see we don’t understand that even the littlest word can put us in a huge whirlwind.
So I have a few questions for you
have you ever really thought about the words here in that scripture?
Have you ever thought about its meaning,
i mean truly
Have you thought about what those words in that scripture are representing?
Have you thought about what the Lord God is saying here?
See there are quite a few scriptures that tell me that we need to watch our tongue
and as i look at them that tells me that Father knew a few things that we don’t, about watching what we say
it tells me that the watching of our tongue is pretty important
Yet we go through life just thinking that our words don’t matter
we are so used to things that we just say always that it becomes an habitual habit
I mean words are word’s right?
At least that is what we think?
I mean do you remember the saying that even as parents i know that we told our kids
that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me
so tell me something,
were they right
did it work
is it true
I mean for some little while it seemed to work
But then the world decided to take a different stand and ran a campaign to teach us the exact opposite
They began to teach us that sticks and stones may break our bones, but yes words do truly hurt.
So no wonder that some of us grew up to become depressed and bipolar
we really didn’t know what was right
we didn’t know what was up and what was down.
I mean our parents did the very best that they could
I mean what parent wants their child hurt.
So here we have the world telling us that yes words do hurt, and then we have our parents and others in society saying that sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
I mean i understand to a point why the world went the complete opposite direction from its original stance
Yet i get it why people ended up being confused.
I mean there are people today that are still hurting from the words and actions of their bullies.
And so you are going to tell me that words don’t hurt?
or do they?
completely understand why we ended up so screwed up.
I mean on one hand we were seeing it as a defense mechanism
while on the other side of the spectrum we used it as an emotional ploy
I mean thankfully, neither of them were incorrect
your words can be used to either tear someone down or can be used to build them up
I mean honestly it is my choice to allow the words of man to hurt me
I mean what we have to understand is that our defense is the truth and we were missing something
I mean our parents were trying to give us a defense
to give us a stance to fall back on
What we have to understand is that our defense is the truth and were were missing something in the scope of things
And that pretty much in all cases
I remember that as a cop that we use to say that there are 3 sides to every story, theirs, mine and the truth
And it was everytime that we went in on a case that was exactly how it looked
i mean lets look at domestic
see in that case the agresser had a story, then the victim had a story
and rarely did one coinside or support the other
And then it was the fact that as the officer had to use our best judgement and solidify enough truth to support an arrest.
Then someone went to jail
from that point the courts got involved
and it was there that the courts had to attain and put the stories together and eventually had to extemporize the truth
And that is our judicial system at work
does that sound familiar
I mean how many of you realize and understand that the Lord has his own judicial system
that every other process was mirrored from the Lords foundation
that his word is truth
that his word was established over 2000 years ago
that it was established 400 years before moses
This truth is composed of 66 books of truth
Yet somewhere we got it mixed up
See somewhere we thought that somehow that we could add in our two cents and help out the creator of the universe
Like he really needed our help
I mean he created the universe in 7 days
Genesis 1:2–3 ESV
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
see here God spoke
as as he spoke
as he opened his mouth and verbal notes came out of his mouth,
it was then that something happened
And not just sometimes, but every time
Now follow me here because i promise that i am going somewhere
see when the creator opened his mouth things happened
are you following me here?
And it was in gen 1:26 where he said, let us create man in our image, and in our likeness.
MY GOD I WISH THAT I COULD GET SOME ONE TO HELP ME HERE
- MY GOD I WISH THAT I COULD GET SOME ONE TO HELP ME HERE
I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING AND IM GETTING EXCITED
IM SO EXCITED THAT I AM ABOUT TO BLESS MYSELF
You have to understand that you were created in his image and his likeness
my God there should be some screaming
it got quite
thats ok though
ill say it again
you were created in his image and in his likeness
and here we are looking at his character and his integrity, while looking at the full embodiment of the father
you are not just a mere copy
DO YOU GET IT?
See thats why it is so important to research and dig into each and every word
that is why it is important not to just read the bible as if it were just another book
do you get it
that you were created in his image, his character, his integrity, his embodiment
you were created with his qualities
my God
i don’t think your ready to hear that yet
See, so what comes out of his mouth, you are basically speak for him
you are prophesying what had already been said.
haha
so your temple needs to remain holy
thus your speech needs to remain holy
Ephesians 5:4 ESV
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
Ecclesiastes 10:12–13 ESV
The words of a wise man’s mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is evil madness.
are you following me here?
see it is not what goes into a man that defiles the man but it is what exits that man
So understand that it is whatever is spoken that will defile and corrupt you
So understand when I say that life and death are in the tongue
And so it is very true that what you speak can either make you or break you
Understand that when you speak that you are prophesying to the atmosphere of which you are in
did you catch that?
So understand that when you speak that it is as if the words of God are being breathed
And when the king speaks that the things in the atmosphere have no choice but to obey the words of the king
the words that come out of your mouth
Now what you have to understand is that this happens two ways
both negatively and positively
so what you declare can either have a positive or negative affect of what is in or around you
So if you are walking around speaking negatively
i suck
ill always be broke etc etc
Or if you are speaking positively
I am the head and not the tale
I am above and not beneath
I am a lender and not a borrower
Do you understand that there are forces at work that work on both sides of the spectrum
they are called angels and demons
both messengers for whatever kingdom they serve
and regardless of how you see it they are there to help
see it was complaining and murmuring that got israel in trouble and killed in the wilderness
we communicate angels
but again it goes two ways
communication is a two way street
And as much as we communicate with angels, i need to let you know that the demons are also listening
And just as those angels are for your good, there are demons that are responsible as well where they are assigned and responsible to murmuring and complaining
and when that happens there responsibility is to make things worse
yeah you heard me,
you heard me right
And just like there are angels assigned to your life to move heaven and earth for you
And when you speak into the atmosphere
when you open your mouth and audibly speak you give whatever authorization to do what they are called to do
See what you have to understand is that what ever you say will cultivate either angels or demons
So what you say will give or take life
And that you have to understand
you have to understand that ultimately it is your fault
matt 12:36-
Matthew 12:36–37 ESV
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
see a kings words were and is his reputation
and the words of a king once spoke became law and nothing could change that
Understand that you speak for the great king
and so what you speak becomes law in the spirit realm
either positive or negative
And so understand that you need to focus your speech
for what comes out of your mouth will cultivate either life or death
it will cultivate knowledge
it will cultivate understanding
We need to cultivate an atmosphere in which life in continuously manifested
We need to speak positive decrees over our lives daily
making such things law in the spirit realm as which you reside
see in
+ story of Daniel and the lions den, the angel being stopped by the angel of persia
and so by doing so, by speaking life, the angels assigned to your life will begin to act and move things for you
I mean only if you knew the power that resided within you
only if you knew the true power that resides with you
Only if you knew the power of your words
MY GOD
Numbers 6:21–24 ESV
“This is the law of the Nazirite. But if he vows an offering to the Lord above his Nazirite vow, as he can afford, in exact accordance with the vow that he takes, then he shall do in addition to the law of the Nazirite.” The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, The Lord bless you and keep you;
Numbers 6:24–26 ESV
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
