How to glorify God when You have emotion? You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart. The good person brings out of his good treasure good things; and the evil person brings out of his evil treasure evil things. Matthew 12: 34,35. Today I'm going to pivot from that of bad language to what you speak in your walk with Christ.
So whatever is in your heart that is what will come out of your mouth. Matthew 15:11 says, It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person. So, what comes into us is not what can create problems but what comes out of us that creates problems. This can create emotions that are unholy and not of God and that is because we are anxious about what we said or said stuff and turned to anger, or stressed us for saying something.
no matter what it was, our language can be that of lifting up the Lord or be used to lift up evil. We get to choose, God does not direct our lips like a puppet. I would rather use my lips to uplift Jesus than lift up evil. What we say matters and can hurt others. So what we say can as the verse says, it can be for good or for evil. I believe in my soul that there is no grey area in this matter, it is either good or evil not in the middle. we have to choose which way we will use our language whether it will be for good or for evil.
Think about it you have the power with one phrase to lift someone up, in this case let's say Jesus, or bring him down and speak evil of Him.
Dear God, I praise and thank you
help me to speak that which only comes from you
let no bad language, no unholy words no nothing of evil comes from My lips today
please help me protect my lips so that only good comes from these lifts
you are glorious and wonderful
and thank you and praise you
In Jesus name
Amen
