Power Of Tongue
Amazing how the tongue can ruin your all day. The power of tongue can almost do anything to ruin individual or it can be a blessing to the hearers. This is the reason the writer tells us in the book of.......( 1 Thes. 5:15 - none render to evil to evil unto any man )
And be careful that when you get on each other's nerves you don't snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.
1 Peter 3:10
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
The power of tongue can kill someone. Destroying a innocent lives. We may not realize it a simple word can make a person completely different attitude. Just example if a person married for twenty years or less or more. Those sweet moment of their life. All of a sudden, there is something stirs the sorrounding. Maybe it can be a false report. Or it can be a gossip, can be a word that very sharps like two edges. In that moment of time the words been spoken can be a blessing to someone or can be destroying someone else life.
My own experience with God. When I started to live for God. I had a lot's of things to work on. Specially the temper. I think most all of us has that problem. Maybe some are worse than other. But some how we all have the temper mental problem. This is all the reason God is given us the spirit of Temperance. Temperance is to conduct ourself, self-control. Learn how to control our tongue.
According to ....James 3:6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Tongue can set on fire of hell. Can damage someone else feeling. That feeling can turn into murder, jealousy, hate, crime, corrupt communication, gossip, can turn the marrieds into divorce, can commit sucide, and also, if... the person is not stable or grounded in the word of God can also turn people away from God. It is because the simple sharps word been said to a person.
Sometimes it is hard to accept the words of the person when the words are stirring can make you turn into anger. Because of that little word been said to you and I. As a christian we must control our tongue before we say it. Because sometimes the persons doesn't live for God. More than likely they expects the Christianity a perfect angel. They think they will have no anger coming out to those Christian.
But,.. we are all human. There is a time we can be pleasant to them and all of a sudden, we forget who we are it is because the sharps word they applied to our hearts. Ofcourse , the bilbe tell us to... (bridle) James 3:2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
I believe in order to wear the crown Jesus given us. We must mortify our body. We must control our tongue. I believe whatever we said here in this earth. That will record in heaven. Every idle word you and shall give an account in the day of judgment. Meaning every corrupt words coming out from our mouth.
Matthew 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
How can we prevent this sharps word coming out from our mouth??? Simply the bible tell us like this....Psalm 39:1
To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
Perfect man?? Mmmmm ...... Are you a man to be called perfect man?? I believe in order to do this must able also to bridle the whole body. Self-control. Our tongue need to be controled.
James 3:2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
It is easy to say.... but it is hard to do. But...by the Holy Ghost gives us the strength how we can self-control ourself. Satan loves to use people in order to make them war each other. Even now, the nations are in the war it is simply the words turn into an actions. Amazing! How the simple word can create a little fire because one of the member of our body called tongue. Little tongue watch out what you say!!!!
James 3:5
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
