The problem isn't the tongue itself; it's more serious. The problem lies in our hearts, our attitude, outlook, and our temperament. 'The tongue is a spiritual thermometer that reflects the condition of the heart...Words are power tools that can build...encourage...destroy and cause confusion.
We have all been hurt and even defeated by words spoken in anger or words rising out of a wounded heart...If my words are boastful, my heart is insecure. If my words are filthy, my heart is impure and if my words are critical, my heart is filled with pride and anger...Solomon said, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver" (Proverbs 25:11 KJV)...The right word, spoken at the right time and in the right way can bring order in the midst of confusion and light on a very dark path. "Good people know the right thing to say" (Proverbs 10:32 NCV). God gives us spiritual "radar" so we can assess a situation and speak the right word for that circumstance. We just need to check the "radar screen" before we speak.'
I pray: Every contrary word ignorantly declared by you against your own life/children is hereby canceled by the blood of Jesus. Every evil word spoken against you/yours as a result of your actions or inactions and is affecting your destinies is nullified in Jesus name. Receive grace to bridle your tongue in Jesus name. Amen
Good Morning and happy Midweek.
