In life, we must know how to keep our tongue and make God guide it, know how to love more than criticize, and learn by God`s grace to love each other as Jesus loves us first.
Lets face it.. In James chapter 3, the word of God says that the tongue is full of deadly poison and that it's unruly.. it is like a sneak with venom; it kills.. It burns. This tells us that the ordinary man cannot tame it. It burns. Therefore give it to God and let Him filled it with his perfect anointing. And He Christ Will tame it. God truly blesses those that can turn it to God.
Truly stated, How often are all wars of hate started? By one mans thoughts given to him by some one other power than God's, Then poison is past along by evil of the heart, lies cost lives and we know who is the father of lies. On the other hand we can chose to beleive God and live in peace, but we have chosen wrong and have trusted in the lies of the very words we chose to speak. Be carful with what we say and to whom that gives glory.
The Book of James (particularly Chapter 3) is so wonderful. The tongue is so small but very powerful. Proverbs says the tongue has life and death in it. If you match this with the teachings in James, one will know that it is a terrible thing not to be able to tame his/her tongue because there is power in the word we speak. I pray God will grant us the grace to be able to tame our tongues. Halleluyah.
Thank God that with the tongue we can bless God, as well as our fellow man. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. So we need to ask God for wisdom to say the right words to bring comfort, and healing to the hearers. My former boss always said it is better to walk the gospel, then to talk it. Truely teachers will be under the greater judgement, because our words have to match our actions. I always pray to the Lord to put a guard over my mouth. Only the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue, and we must be filled with the Spirit so that we will speak the things that are pleasing to God. As the scripture tells us to study to be quiet, and do you own business. If we would obey those words there would be less tongue lashing in the church. May the Lord bless us to walk in love, and speak the truth in love.
This is how i deal with my tongue. I ever so often ask the Lord to gird my tongue because in the book of Matthew said that word are life or death, so i asked the Lord to let me speak ONLY the things that he would have me to speak.I am a Register Nurse, and my prays are answer. I even practice this at home. With my unsafe daughter and Husband,GOD IS GOOD, I love Him so much. Just keep on praying. I find that christians have a difficult time with their tongue. Another advise if some on call u to gossip about bad things just tell them to LETS PRAY ABOUT THE PROBLEM love to all readers.
JAMES' is a sure way to shine the spot light on yourself. and as long as we are on this earth i have room to grow by the word of GOD. And the word of GOD will help you to grow'and will show me my short commings and help me to pull up. THANK YOU JESUS! ALL SMILES:)
The Book of James is a great book because it teaches me about myself and how I am to conduct my thoughts, words, and actions. Because the God I serve is so righteous, He expects me to be the same way. Although sin waits at the door,if I study God's Word on a daily basis and let the Holy Spirit renew my mind on a daily basis as well, I am able to control my thoughts, my words and my actions.
I think it is very clear on how a person that lets their tongue be lose, is not wise. It makes me think about things I say and how I could change for the better. It is so easy not to think before speaking which me convict myself although I have not mastered having a heavy tongue and not to judge.
I think if people would truly learn to love themselves, and pratice what the bible say about loving others as you do yourself, there would be less back bitten and tonge slashing. You will harvest what you sow.
Many teachers stumble in what they say, they would be better off not speaking than speaking and teaching errant words. 1:19 “Let every man be slow to speak and swift to hear” Discern false teachers by what they say: Wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
On the other hand: bitter envy and self seeking is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
Is there confusion in your home, church, job, or any activity that you are involved in? What is your contribution to that confusion? Are we part of the problem or part of the solution?
I am sure that you do realize the Holy Spirit of God the Father moved on MEN (humans) as they penned the words in the scripture. In 2 Peter, the word inspired is used (meaning God breathed) same as when God formed man and breathed the the breath of life into the form of clay and it became a living being. The Word of God is a living book.
James 3 has a good point. These people should not be cursing out of thy same mouth as they praise the lord!!! At my church we have a cuss bucket and people pay every week because they curse... I can see the line has died down!!!
