I've been on this speech and bag language discussion as part of the series of How to glorify God when You have emotion for a few days now. I've been on this subject as part of the series because in my spirit that this one is so important that we do not speak bad and spew out things we regret later. He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin proverbs 13:3. We have the ability in one sentence to lift people up or tear them down example of this is Jesus. AS the bible verse says we either guard our lips or we will come to ruin. we can glorify Jesus with our speech or tear Him down by what we say. So, if we guard our lips and raise up Jesus, we will have blessings but if we don't, we will have ruin.
Just as I used that example of Jesus. let's use it for anyone you encounter in your life instead if someone cuts you off and you start to swear or tell them off in your car windows up, why not use that as a moment to change the way you speak and instead pray for them or lift them up. Another example is when you are at the store, and they give you bad service instead of grumbling under your breath and telling them off, you pray and thank God for them. In any moment you feel bad speech comes nearing or may be used instead vanish it with prayer and holy speech lifting people up and by doing this we, in turn, lift up Jesus us in the process.
Why do we not use our speech to lift up things of Heaven than of Earth? Why do we not get rid of all speech that is unholy from our lips why do we not eradicate all speech that is of the devil and his evil ways? Why do we not use the mouthpiece we have been given as a mouthpiece that resembles Jesus and His speech. How can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him Matthew 12:34-35. why not let's store the good things so that they will overflow from our lips instead of storing up things that of evil so, that those things will not come out of our lips.
Let's be the Mouthpiece of Jesus and His glory!!!!
Jesus, I thank you
Give the wisdom to have the mouthpiece that comes from you
and not of the devil and his ways
Let everything that comes from my mouth be of You Jesus
In Jesus Name
Amen
