TONGUE TAMER

Proverbs 18:21 – death and life in power of the tongue. Often, we just blow this scripture off not realizing how powerful it is. The Bible has much more to say about what the tongue can do.

James 3:6

The tongue can set on fire the course of nature and can be a fire from hell. What from hell are you talking about??

Your mouth can speak the things of hell and set things on fire.  The Message Bible explains this in detail:

It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.

Are you allowing hell to lead your tongue? It can set on fire your entire life.

James 3:2

If you can control your tongue, you are a perfect man. The problem is that we all say stupid things. Your tongue is the smallest muscle in your body, but it can determine your entire life by what you say. Take for example how a bit in a horse’s mouth can lead him in different directions (James 3:3) or how a ship is controlled by a little rudder (James 3:4). Likewise, this small muscle in your mouth can control the direction of your entire life. But the tongue is like a deadly poison, and no man can tame it (James 3:8-12). So what should we do? Cut it out? Of course not.

Your tongue is subject to God. No person can tame his tongue on their own, but you can do this by the Spirit of God that is living in you. Only with the Spirit of God can you bring your tongue into submission and subjection. The Spirit can show you how to master and rule over your tongue so that your tongue does not rule over you. The Spirit of God can give you self-control and restraint over the things you say. You need to speak the language of the Kingdom of God, and not the kingdom of hell.

God created the world by the words He spoke. When you speak, you are also creating things. You have the creative power to bring things into manifestation with your mouth. You need to learn how to declare the things of heaven here, now, on earth. Is there sickness or lack in heaven? No there is not. Therefore, declare health and prosperity here on earth. You need to choose and align your tongue with heaven.

When you speak words such as, I’m sick, I’m broke, nothing good ever happens to me, I can’t get a break—you are speaking the language of hell. Instead, you should speak the language of heaven—the Word of God found in the Bible! But you can’t expect this victory if you don’t know the Word of God. Just coming to church every Sunday is not enough without spending time reading and studying the Word of God every day.

You cant expect this victory though if you don’t know the word of God

Just coming to church Sunday is not enough without getting into the word of God.

God said it will come to pass, he said it, he will do it.

Remember God’s Word in Jeremiah 32:27:  Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Speak faith.
