..."Stop That Tongue!"

                                   

 Today's topic: The Power of The Tongue! 


Did you know that, out of all of the things that the tongue can be used for, (2) of those things are LIFE & DEATH!!! The bible says in Proverbs 18:21 that both, death and life are in the tongue. Why is that? Both, God and Satan are spiritual beings, and both, want to use our tongues to accomplish their own agendas. God wants to use your tongue to accomplish bringing life, love, encouragement, and exhortation to others, while Satan wants to "borrow" your tongue for purposes of negativity, death, and destruction. Satan has no other way to accomplish this except by us allowing him to "BORROW" our tongues, so that he can speak and be "heard." On the flip side of that; God wants to "USE" our tongues, in order that HE can speak life to others and their situations. Notice the difference between "borrow" (Satan) and "use" (God). Satan has to "borrow" our tongues, because we don't belong to HIM!! God wants to "use" our tongues that already belong to HIM, because HE created us! Praise God!! How will you use your tongue today? To bring LIFE? Or to bring DEATH? ©

Dear Lord, we first ask your forgiveness for allowing the enemy to borrow our tongues to hurt, destroy, tear down, and discourage others, including ourselves. We ask that you give us the presence of mind to speak LIFE, LOVE, and PEACE, being mindful that we are representing YOU God! Thank you for being ever so mindful of our behavior, because it shows us, just how much you love us and those who we speak to...In Jesus' Name. Amen
