Power Of The Tongue

24 May

How wonderful it was when I received an email from Ps about declarations … Job 22:28 says you shall declare a thing and it shall be done for you. It goes on to say that more light, or revelation, will then be given. I want to use my tongue to be a blessing, bring joy and declare God’s truth to myself and the people around me.

I was reading Prov 15: 1-4 this morning about how a soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly. But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.  A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit …

Very harsh and negative words have been spoken to me recently and I have been asking the Lord to stand as a strong SHIELD for me. Also, the Lord taught me how to respond to these harsh words….give a soft answer! I am thankful to the Lord that he guards my heart. I want my life to exemplify Christ and His love through me.
