Job 6:30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. These are great illustrations of what someone who is filled and led by the Holy Spirit will do to one who isn’t led or filled by the Spirit. “Those who are led by the Spirit, are the sons of God.” I’m sure this means they will speak words that are Spirit and life, like Jesus did, and will “expose works of darkness.”
The bible says….we are supposed to "speak the truth in love for we are members one of another", how many Christians do you know who have this law of love and faith in their heart?? And when they aren't heard they get others involved for loves sake for "out of the mouth of 2-3 witnesses the word of God is established"? What is the sin of indifference other than being indifferent to "brotherly" love. Not being involved in the "washing" of feet, the removing of grave clothes. When we know someone's words are the words of death, but we fail to say anything. We fail to pray, we fail to be honest, we fail to be sincere. By our indifference.....we end up consenting with the Thief proverbs 29 talks about. We let people's dead lifeless words, steal from us and others, because we close our ears. We choose to be indifferent, bury our talent. We would rather have faith for a million dollars, than have faith to speak the truth in love.
The devil has to use the lips of someone to accuse God, and he's very sneaky in his presentation. The spirit of my words used to be, "my times aren't in God's hands, He doesn't really see, He doesn't really care." This isn't what I actually said, but it was the spirit behind much of what I said. And thank God someone came into my life that wouldn’t “eat” my words, but loved me enough to rebuke me so I would be sound in my faith! If we listen to fearful, unbelieving words.......the words of those who are influenced by Satan, the words he spoke to them to control them, their words are on a mission to control us. Ezekiel 3 says if we fail to show someone in the family of God, who we are in relationship with, their sins, we will experience the same judgment they will for their sin. FEAR AND UNBELIEF is a sin, it's an indictment against God, it's pointing the finger at Him. It's saying His words are untrue and He is not a God of His word. If someone is mouthing these accusations against God and we don't love someone enough to speak the truth to them, so they will grow up........and quit being used by the accuser of the brethren to point the finger at Jesus, won't their blood be on our hands? God's word says it will be.
I had a dream about one of my sisters the other night. I was talking to her about how she Presents herself. I was telling her what the scripture means......."present yourself a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service." Rm.12:1 I was telling her to be holy means to be separated, and she always separates herself unto that whiny, unbelieving, fearful, despairing, fretting spirit of the devil, that accuses God. The spirit of many of the words she speaks are "Oh poor me." So even when she talks about Jesus, her words have the anointing of death on them. Our words lite fires when they are not God's words. We must care what we are "feeding the sheep" with the spirit of our mouth. Some people have a lot of faith to lite Forrest fires. "Mischief is conceived in our hearts, by listening to the devils voice instead of Gods, and our mouth is used to give birth to lies in the hearts of others." Jesus words, God's words are referred to AS FOOD. So our words are like food, And we can poisons others with words just like I poison my ants. I make a real sugary paste and stick a little bit of boric acid in it, they are too stupid to realize what they are sucking in is killing them. When someone speaks words of faith and love in their hearts towards God and man............ THEY ARE LIFTING JESUS UP. And Jesus said if we lift Him up we will draw men unto Him." We must know what spirit, and what kind of life our words really are. Many people speak words to “get” something from others, the don’t speak truth freely.
If we are satisfied by the words of our mouth, like the proverbs say........then are we so self deceived that we won't tell ourselves the truth when poison comes out of our mouth? DO YOU EVEN REALIZE WHERE DISSATISFACTION in life COMES FROM? Do you LIE TO yourself ABOUT WHAT you LET OUT OF your LITTLE LIPS! The proverbs say about the whore, "she wipes her mouth and says, I didn't do anything wrong." How many people can't even tell when they are destroying themselves and others with the spirit of their mouth? And how do we respond when someone who is Spirit Filled rebukes us, like Jesus did to Peter? Do we love truth, correction and reproof?”
Oh how many people are willing to scrub, scrub, scrub, the outside of cup with strife and religious works, but deep in their soul, they are filled with dead mens bones, and their mouth is an open grave. Their empty chatter is just a reflection of their empty heart. If you talk to them long enough, you can hear the dead bones, those thoughts lodged in their heart that aren't right towards the Lord. Life and death is in the power of our tongue. Jesus said "every idle word a man speaks will be held against him in the day of judgment." What he means is that our words operate, they are either the source of life or death, and it all depends on the motives of the heart of the one speaking the words. He told the wicked and slothful servant......"out of your mouth, you have condemned yourself." The proverbs say that the words of a mans heart are "deep" waters. And some people have a cesspool of demonic thoughts that reside deep in their soul that they don't talk to the Lord about. But these lies lodged in our soul we haven't taken captive to the obedience of Christ will seep out eventually. When the enemy comes in like a flood, THE LORD LIFTS UP A STANDARD. When the devil is speaking to us through someone's mouth we love, we shouldn't be indifferent, but look pray to hear the right voice! And give them "good food," for the bad food they gave us. That’s really what Jesus did for Peter.
Some people say spiritual things, even quote scriptures and talk about the things of God, but THE MOTIVE OF their HEART IS SELF SERVING. They speak because they love the praise of men. This is a heart filled with SELF INTEREST! These words are not motivated by any BENEVOLENT LOVE. These are people so selfish, they care little about the arsenic, boric acid, self serving, self seeking words that come out of their mouths because they have no peace with God. Some love the praise of men, they seek the approval of men, they fear man much more than God, and they really couldn't care less about the death they let float out of their mouths regularly and how it's affecting others. They don't even judge most of the time if the words they speak are really for the benefit, the well being, the edifying, the building up of others. They only care about getting their needs met, and they don’t care if the meditation of their heart is right. (Just like Peter wasn’t caring when he spoke to Jesus.) They care about getting the approval they need from others, they only look for acceptance from man, they don't care to if THE WORDS OF THEIR MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF THEIR HEARTS ARE ACCEPTABLE IN GODS SIGHT. They wouldn't consider any obligation to be honest, sincere, and help others judge the spirit of their words, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT ANYONE TO JUDGE THEIR SELF SEEKING WORDS.
I was also thinking about "suffering that woman Jezebel." Suffering meaning.......being indifferent to someone who is controlled by Satan in their thoughts, and words. Controlled because they love their life and they won't loose it for the greater cause. Controlled because of being weak minded because they love their life and their thoughts and don't take the time to make Gods thoughts their thoughts. They don't really care if their thoughts are coming from hell, their words are coming from hell, because they love themselves and only care about getting what they need from others, not in what they serve to others. Being a servant isn't part of their thoughts most of the time. Laboring in God's Kingdom, and loving the saving and keeping of souls, is not what makes these people tic. They serve God for their own pleasure and happiness. They haven't taken on Jesus' burden, which is easy and light......the loving and keeping of souls. They live under the lie THAT really doing GOD'S WILL IS TOO BIG OF A BURDEN. They feel sorry for themselves, and the thought of their heart is the way of the Lord is too hard. Most of their thoughts are MAKING EXCUSES for their flesh, and accusing others. So they throw their talent away. Getting their own needs met is the meditation of their heart. They don't have the love or faith, to speak the truth in love for we are members of one another. They don't care about really helping others grow up........only in getting their own needs met. They don't even consider that one day it will all be exposed and they will be REWARDED for how they have really been involved in the saving and keeping of souls. (You know the souls they think they will live with through eternity?) What came to me the other day is that most women get married to have their flesh gratified, and to be taken care of. And how many people come to Jesus for the same reason. I haven't met too many women that came to Jesus to be involved in His pleasure, who have passion for thinking His thoughts and speaking His words, and helping other to do the same! But isn’t this truly what a Proverbs 31 woman would do?
HOW MUCH DO WE CAUSE OTHER'S TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRES OF THE SPIRIT'S WE DON'T JUDGE IN OURSELVES?
The end of self indulgence, and sin IS DEATH. Self serving people filled with lust and addiction don't care about how they are affecting, loving others. One thing I have observed about many women is how they love their husbands gifts. They love the pleasures of the relationship, and what their husbands can give to them and provide for them, but they don't love their husbands souls. They don't think about being honest, sincere, praying, spending time in the word. They are content to have accusations, divisions, evil imaginations, and little foxes live in their relationships with their husbands. They don't even see how their failure to judge how they really love the men in their lives, is how they love Jesus, God, too! OH THEY LOVE THE GIFTS.......just not the Giver. If they loved the giver, they would love the givers children. But they don't, they lie, and are insincere, and insecure with the Givers children. They are too wrapped up in getting what they need from the givers children to love them. Honesty and sincerity are a threat to them, because then they would really have to examine their faith to get their needs met. They would rather be controlling. Love is a threat, and withholding their heart and thoughts is their power and control. They suffer the spirit of control in themselves, so they suffer it in others too! They are blind to the fact that they have blood on their hands. They don't care if someone around them is starting a Forrest fire with their mouth, because they are too busy getting their own needs met. They wouldn't think too long about putting the Forrest fires around them out, and they don't consider the fact that God will judge them as much as the one who is using their mouth to start the fire!
IF WE FAIL TO SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE, WE DEPRIVE THOSE AROUND US FROM BEING ABLE TO GROW UP! We are guilty of burring our talent, and perhaps denying the Holy Ghost. How will we become the bride of Christ, perfect, complete, without division, if we love our precious life so much, we don't care if someone around us is being robbed and by our indifference......WE CONSENT WITH THE THIEF! Having eyes to see, they see not, having ears to hear, they hear not, lest the glorious light of the gospel should come and heal them. Some people just don't want the glorious light of the gospel to heal them, they want to be sick and TAKEN CARE OF. They are comfortable with their “unholy” spirits.
The truth is, we all HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR THE GLORIOUS LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL NOT COMING AND HEALING us. The only reason for our lack of healing is because deep in our hearts we LOVE THE PRAISE OF MEN, MORE THAN GOD. We are content to live life without Jesus. Are your words self seeking? Do you listen to the self seeking words of others who love the praise of men? How much do you suffer the spirit of Jezebel, control, in your life. Some men's sins go before them, others follow after them. You'll never have peace if you lie to yourself about the content of your own words, and the content of the words of those around you. WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLEEP, ARISE FROM YOUR DEATH, AND God will give you light!
I knew a woman who feared everything other than Him who has power to cast into hell. She didn't fear the Lord, and she was tormented by fear due to life without Jesus.
She had the faith of the wicked and slothful servant that buried the talent due to fear. And she was not a Pvbs. 31 woman who was praised. Her insecurity due to her lack of fearing the Lord in her conscience made her a leech that sucked the life from others. She was “sick” yielding to the voice of the flesh, and rejected the voice of the Holy Spirit and yielding to the Spirit. When we don't have our own integrity before God, we will be jealous of those who do. We will have a desperate, taking, greedy, gluttonous, hellish spirit, that's never full, content, or satisfied. We will be like a molester, who is stealing life from others because we are lying to ourselves and we are not SEEKING THE PRAISE THAT COMES FROM GOD ALONE! Our lives will one day show if we have been busy seeking gifts..........OR LOVING AND SEEKING THE GIVER OF LIFE! She never turned from her ways, and she died at a young age.
Jesus came for the sick......if this describes you, repent, and cry out to God, so you won't be ashamed for the bank account you have accumulated of dead words, and dead works! We are creators....and we create life and death with our mouth, and one day it will all be tallied up! The day came upon this woman and shame was her lot in life. The proverb describes her. Her mouth was always an open graveyard full of dead bones. She despised instruction and correction, and would not listen. Her flesh and body were consumed due to rebellion. All she had was sorrow at the end of her wasted, self-seeking life. She will not be remembered for being a feeder, or a woman who feared the Lord. She was afraid and tormented and continually used to torment others. She made her own thoughts her idol, and refused God’s thoughts.
We watched a movie about the devil. A man had been seduced by him, and his pitiful, whiny words. The devil was locked up in prison, and he couldn't get out by himself. HE NEEDED SOMEONE TO LET HIM OUT. He had to have a body, and ambassador, to represent his cause. The man in the movie was so sorry when he realized what he had done. AND HE PROVED HOW SORRY HE WAS, by spending his life CAPTURING the devil he loosed. You can tell someone who is sorry for bringing honor, glory and praise to the father of lies, who was the devil's ambassador. They are God's ambassador's now......speaking His oracles instead of the devils, and they live to TAKE THEIR THOUGHTS CAPTIVE to the obedience of Christ. And they have the wisdom, to CAPTURE the thoughts those they love are being destroyed by! The way of the Lord is not hard for them. They know when they hear a voice that is not God's and they seek to deliver those around them from "the voice of the stranger".
They as Job, are eyes to the blind, feet to the lame, they cause they know not they search out. And all things are possible to these people who really believe that His burden is easy, His yoke is light. They have faith to OVERCOME, and they help others Overcome! These are the ones who FOLLOW PEACE WITH ALL MEN, AND HOLINESS, knowing if they don't they won't see the Lord. Are you washing your hands of your responsibility to be your brother's keeper because YOU HAVE NO FAITH? Shame will be your reward. Have faith to go on God’s fast, think his words, speak His thoughts, there are many rewards for those who do. Is. 58
