Reconciling your words with Jesus!

“Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?” James 3:11

Jesus told me today our words are to be intrinsic with the nature of God.

We damage our relationship with Jesus with our words. We tend to speak freely without the restraints of the Holy Spirit. We speak praise and honor to God and in the next moment we demean others. 

There is very little spiritual discipline in the words of most believers. We are members of the “set apart” people of Jesus and are instructed to speak words of praise, renown and glory pleasing the Most High.

I pray every day that my words will be filled with the fruits of the Spirit and reflect love, kindness, and patience. I ask God to help me not to react to what is said to me or respond with anger when I encounter difficulties. I fail many times but always come back seeking the divine nature of Jesus. 

Religion gives you rules but has no corrective power. Religion is an example of hypocrisy because the leaders tell you how to live and then turn around and violate the truths of Jesus. 

The solution to purifying our words with Jesus is to submit to the Holy Spirit and invite Him to have authority over our life. He lives in all believers and desires to transform a believer into the character of Jesus. 

Pray for the discipline of Jesus to be alive in your words. Jesus desires for a believer to be a river of Living Water touching all those in his life.
