WORDS WORK WONDERS AS WELL AS BLUNDERS!

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!


THURSDAY OCTOBER 14, 2021.


SUBJECT: WORDS WORK WONDERS AS WELL AS BLUNDERS!


Memory verse: "You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth" (Proverbs 6 vs 2).


READ:  Psalm 19 vs 14; 141 vs 3:

19:14: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer

141:3: Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.


INTIMATION:

Words can work wonders, but they can also work blunders! Do you realize that multitude of people fail in life because they speak failure? They fear failure and allow their fear to overcome their faith. What you say locates you. You will not and cannot rise above your own words. If you speak defeat, failure, anxiety, sickness, and unbelief, you will live on that level. Neither you nor anyone else, no matter how clever, will ever live above the standard of their words (conversation/confession). This spiritual principle is unalterable. If your word (conversation/confession) is foolish, trifling, unpractical, or disorganized, your life invariably will be the same way. With your words, you constantly paint a picture of your inner self. Jesus said, "Out of the abundance of the. Heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12 vs 34).


As believers, what we say is what we usually get. The confession of our mouth is our possession. The affirmations of the truth, as contained in the Word of God, should ring from our lips constantly. We are told to hold fast to the truth without wavering. The penalty of wavering in our confession is that we deny ourselves God's promises and the performance of them (James 1 vs 6 - 7).  Christianity is called the 'Great Confession.' All things we are identified with in Christ—salvation, healing, deliverance—are dependent upon our confessing the Lordship of Jesus with our lips from a believing heart (Romans 10 vs 8 -10). 


If you think back on your life, you will probably agree that most of your troubles have been tongue troubles. The Bible says, "Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles" (Proverbs 21 vs 23). Numerous troubles are caused by an unruly tongue! Words spoken in the heat of the moment; words of anger, words of harshness, words of retaliation, words of bitterness, words of unkindness. These words produce trouble for us. 


Beloved let make these our prayers now: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer" (Psalm 19 vs 14). "Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips" (Psalm 141 vs 3). It's really important that we let God help us overcome our unruly speech habits, for our words can work blunders and get us into trouble. A negative confession can produce negative results. 


Confession is made with the mouth, not only for the good things God has promised us, but also for sickness, defeat, bondage, lack, and failure. Refuse to have a bad confession. Refuse to have a negative confession. Repudiate a dual confession, when you are saying at one moment, "with His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53 vs 5) and at the next moment, "But the pain is still there." 


Go to higher level of living in the kingdom of God. Believe that you are who God says you are. Think that way. Talk that way. Act that way. Train yourself to live on the level of what is written about you in God's Word. Do not permit your thoughts, your words, or your actions to contradict what God says about you. Although you may  not master positive confession in a day or even a week, you will learn it as you continue to walk in it faithfully. Because God has said it, we may boldly say the same thing! 


Avoid careless speech because it is a vicious habit. When one realizes that his words are the coin of his kingdom and that his words can be either a cursing influence or a blessing, he will learn to value the gift of speech. The word is a seed (Luke 8 vs 11), and if spoken from a poisoned mind, it is a disaster. An idle word spoken aloud may fall into the soil of someone's heart and poison his entire life. Learn to control your tongue.


James wrote that the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! (James 3 vs 5). On the average, a person opens his or her mouth approximately 700 times a day to speak. Like David, we should wisely asked God to keep us from speaking evil—even when undergoing persecution. Jesus Himself was silent before His accusers (Matthew 26 vs 63). Knowing the power of the tongue, we would do well to ask God to guard what we say so that our words will bring honor to His name. 


Every word and thought of ours would be examined by God first, and we will give account of them in the day of judgement (Matthew 12 vs 36). Ask God to approve your words and reflections as though they were offerings brought to the altar. As you begin each day, determine that God’s love will guide what you say and how you think.


Prayer: Abba Father, let the light of Your word so shine in my heart that I may, at all times, speak Your love that is poured out in my heart by the Holy Spirit. Let my speech be salted with lovely and caring words that I may earn Your approval, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed. Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

“You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” (Matthew 27:65) When Jesus was dead and buried, with a big stone rolled against the tomb, the Pharisees came to Pilate and asked for permission to seal the stone and guard the tomb. They gave it their best shot — in vain. It was hopeless then, it is hopeless today, and it will always be hopeless. Try as they may, people can’t keep Jesus down. They can’t keep him buried. It’s not hard to figure out: He can break out because he wasn’t forced in. He let himself be libeled and harassed and blackballed and scorned and shoved around and killed. I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. (John 10:17–18) No one can keep him down because no one ever knocked him down. He lay down when he was ready. When it looks like he is buried for good, Jesus is doing something awesome in the dark. “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how” (Mark 4:26–27). The world thinks Jesus is done for — out of the way — but Jesus is at work in the dark places. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). He let himself be buried — “no one takes [my life] from me” — and he will come out in power when and where he pleases — “I have authority to take it up again.” “God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it” (Acts 2:24). Jesus has his priesthood today “by the power of an indestructible life” (Hebrews 7:16). For twenty centuries, the world has given it their best shot — in vain. They can’t bury him. They can’t hold him in. They can’t silence him or limit him. Jesus is alive and utterly free to go and come wherever he pleases. Trust him and go with him, no matter what. You cannot lose in the end.
