Your words define your standing with Christ!

“Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?” James 3:10-11

You and I are accountable to God for every word spoken. The standard of God is to speak words edifying to all.

However, you and I continually fall short of this standard. We bless God with our words and then turn around and curse those around us. Or worse, we speak disparaging words about God because He has failed to meet our expectations.

Your mouth is an explosion of evil words waiting to spew out. The words you speak are an indication of your relationship with God. They reveal your heart condition.

How can your words be harnessed by God? The solution is through prayer and living in the Holy Spirit. Pray God will heal your inner condition from the past and the Holy Spirit will govern your words.

The Holy Spirit lives in you and He will never speak demeaning words to anyone. The problem arises when your words come out of your fleshly nature.

The root of your personality is the source of your words. This is why you and I need to be open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and learn the importance of forgiveness and healing.

God has forgiven you for all your past sins and you have a clean slate with Him. So you have to forgive yourself and others who have hurt you.

Sometimes, you have to forgive God for the adversities He has allowed to take place in your life. This is very difficult because they can leave indelible scars which require time to heal.

Invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any deep feelings that inhibit the power of God. He desires for you to be a beacon of light speaking words touching others with the love of Christ.
