“Watch that mouth!”

I tell ya guys that ole mouth of ours can honestly to goodness get us into loads of troubles…if we so let it…the mouth speaks things that should never be spoken..and especially us who are claiming to be a child of God…whom is to be walking the walk…and  talking the talk so to speak…our mouths the word of God says is the most smallest  member of our bodies but yet it boast great things…it says behold what matter a fire that it kindles…James 3:5…our mouths can sometimes get away with us…we begin speaking and talking ways…that we know are not at all pleasing to the Lord…or ever would be  praise worthy..and shouldn’t at all be coming out of our mouths…period…but yet somehow it goes on and on rambling a whole bunch of mess…and it most defiantly does not need to be doing so…cause I tell if we begin to compromise in the way that we talk…then we will continue to compromise…because compromising isn’t just for them so called things that we think is them right and wrong things…but compromise can take form in many different ways in our lives…and the one way is through us and the way we talk…and the way we act towards others…see the devil works in any and every form that he can to get us to a place of compromise…and we shouldn’t take lightly the things that we speak out from our mouths…because the word of God says that out from the abundance of our hearts our mouths will speak..Luke 6:45…so today I would ask for all of us to take inventory over how we talk and speak…just let us listen to ourselves…and see what we think about ourselves and what were saying out from our own mouths…because the Lord says to us that death and life are in the power of our tongues..and that they that love it will eat the fruit thereof..Proverbs 18:21…and if we begin to speak and talk certain ways..than before long we will as well begin to see no wrong in the way were speaking and in the way were talking…and we will just keep on speaking and talking any and whatsoever way we so choose to…and thinking within ourselves that our lives are A okay…that everything is alright…because if we start acting certain ways…them ways begin to be who we are..because man rarely sees himself for who he really is…practically none of us do…for we can look at others and see their short comings very quickly..but fail to see our own..the only one who knows them is the Lord..and when the Lord deals with us to change certain things and we let them certain things go..and we keep over looking our actions and our ways…then before long we will be as the bible says as having a reprobate mind we will not be sensitive to the Lord and His correction or guidance..Romans 1:28…so we will keep doing what we think is right in our own eyes…failing to listen and to be what God would have for us to be…kinda like when I was a teenager we moved to a small town..and we lived their my daily and I by some train tracks..and when we first moved there that noise bothered me so badly…but before long I got used to it..and never even heard the train any longer, never paid attention any more to it…for it didn’t bother me like it had bothered me…the same principle with each of us…if we are not sensitive to the Lord when He is speaking to us…we as well will get use to the Lord and His correction and we will as well continue on doing them things that we so choose and desire to…because we won’t see any wrong in them things that were doing or them things that were saying…for as well in the book of James this is what is says to us..Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath: For the wrath of a man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain….James 1:19-26…so I would ask of us all to take time today to listen to ourselves and the way we are talking and listen to things that are coming forth out from our own mouths…make sure that them words were speaking are bringing life to us and to each of our lives…for when we begin to compromise…we as well guys begin to lose…and that is what the devil so desires for us all and that is for us to lose…but see God came to give us a life and life of abundance..but the word says that the devil he came to kill, to steal and to destroy..and as I said he uses everything and anything he can to destroy us…so don’t let that ole devil use us and our mouths….taking away are lives…our relationships…our friendships…our marriages…taking away everything he can get his ole hands on…for we ourselves choose…and only we can choose for ourselves…so today and everyday that follows choose to speak life over your life…choose to live a life worthy to be called a child of God..don’t be ugly in the things that you say and are saying..for guys it’s so not worth it..so rise up each of us I pray..and let us all do better and let us all be better…In Jesus’ name…I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
