Your WORDS reveal YOU

Beloved, words are powerful, they express one's thoughts and belief's. We speak what is in our minds, didn't Christ our Lord rightly say "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks"? 
We speak what we believe, as the Good Book says "we believe, therefore we speak"

The Scriptures have a lot to say about words. 


We are responsible for our words, no wonder the apostle Paul admonished the Ephesian saints thus:


 ²⁹ Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. – Ephesians 4:29 NKJV

And the writer of Proverbs lets us know that:

21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. - Proverbs 18:21 ESV

So beloved, every time you speak, you are either speaking life or death, blessing or cursing, grace or corruption, you get the idea 

Now since words express what's in one's heart, the solution is not to try and sensor yourself or take a vow of silence, or try any weird tricks, no, no no...far from it! To attempt that would only get us so far, as all self help efforts do, only to be followed by feelings of guilt and condemnation. And the enemy will have a field day in our lives. Let's not be ignorant of his devices. 

Yes, we are responsible for our words and the good thing is, we have the Spirit of God in us and as we spend time with the Lord in prayer and in studying the Scriptures and in meditating on our Father and His goodness, our minds are renewed and our thinking is transformed. The result? Our speech and conduct will naturally, as it were, begin to reflect Him who is the Desire of the nations. 

Remember, you have God's Spirit in you, so reflecting Him is as natural to you as breathing. Learn to live in and from your New Nature. 

You are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus, now let your conversation reflect that!
