Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-20 – Words and Weapons

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings! 

We trust that you are walking closely with God, our Creator and Savior. 

No two battles are ever the same. And the direction any battle takes can be determined by many factors. 

One of those factors is the way we speak about our situation. That may sound a bit confusing, but we expound on this in today’s video, Words and Weapons. 

We share Biblical principles about this as we teach, hoping to bring clarity where there may be confusion for many people. 

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch it.

Enjoy your day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-2-19

Proverbs 15:23 (NKJV) 23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!

Knowing what to say at times not only helps the situation, but it brings us great joy. Words are powerful. Spoken in the right tone and in the right timing, they bring great relief not only to us, but to whoever we are speaking them to.

They are blessed by our words if we are speaking them with the right intention and from a good, clean heart. These kinds of words take root and bring change.

Let the Holy Spirit guide our tongue. Pull back when we don’t know what to say. Hold our tongue if we are angry and irritated. Wait until we know for sure.

God is faithful to help us in times when words need to be spoken to turn things around.

Proverbs 16:24 (NKJV) 24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-7-16

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Our ears pick up on things being said all throughout the day. We are in control over what conversations we want to get involved in. Knowing this in advance, we need to ask God to help us choose them carefully.

Words are powerful and we want to make sure that the things we say bring LIFE. That they are good, encouraging, uplifting and helpful.

How do we help change the atmosphere where there seems to be a lot of negative, destructive and gossipy talk?

We first rebuke satan and his attack against that place, or person where we hear it happening, in Jesus’ name.

If it’s our home, workplace, school, or even in our church, we then take charge over the atmosphere in those places for Jesus Christ. By simply saying, “I take charge over the atmosphere of this place for Jesus Christ, and no weapon formed against me or this place shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

We don’t let up even when we begin to see change. Because where there are people involved every day, there will be new emotions, new situations, and new attitudes occurring.

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in saying the right words when needed.

Our words and our actions can be very powerful, even when we think no one is listening or watching, because we are dealing with more than people. We are dealing with spiritual things that have been released into the atmosphere in these places.

God is faithful to help us and give us discerning hearts, sharp ears and words of wisdom.

Remember, a word can bring change. So don’t be afraid to speak up at times and defuse the enemy and his attack. Amen

2 Samuel 23:2 (NKJV) 2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-15

James 1:19-20 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Anger and words don’t go well together.

The things we speak when we’re angry can be very hurtful, and even downright damaging.

The thing about words that we need to understand is that they can never, ever be taken back once they leave our mouths.

We can apologize for something we’ve said. We can ask that person we spoke against to forgive us, and they can forgive us. But none of that will ever change the hurt that we cause by speaking hastily or in anger.

It’s important that we choose our words very wisely when we speak. We need to let the Holy Spirit be our filter. He will never let us speak words that are hurtful or damaging.

If we are in a heated discussion, the best thing we can do is pull back and cool off. Then, when things have settled down a bit, continue the conversation.

We need to remember that our words have extreme power. They can cut or they can heal. They can lift up or they can tear down. They can bring life or bring death.

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

So let’s ask God to teach us how to guard our tongues and temper them so that the words we speak will bring love and life, not bitterness, hurt and death.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-28-15

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

It’s important that we take our time and think about what we are going to say, before we say it. Our words make a difference. They really matter.

What comes out of our mouth is what is in our heart. If we are constantly saying negative things, fault finding or picking things or people apart, we need to change how we speak.

And if we really want to change how we speak, we really need to let God bring change to our heart.

There is a lot of good to be seen and spoken, but we’ve got to be looking for it. Of course there is bad too, but that is what prayer is for. God will help fix the bad that we find if we bring it to Him and don’t let it dominate our tongue.

Let God help us in our conversations, to say good things, be encouraging, uplifting and fruitful with our words. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NKJV) 11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-14

James 1:19 (NKJV) So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Words.

If you’ve been on our mailing list for any length of time, you know that we teach about the power of our words fairly often.

Our words are very powerful. They impact the people who hear them, whether we speak them directly to someone or they happen to overhear them.

Most times we tend to speak whatever comes to mind in just about any situation.

But we have learned over the years that this can, most times, be a bad thing. It can lead to hurt feelings, damaged relationships and some serious heartache. And the repercussions from misspoken words can last for years, or even decades.

We need to choose our words carefully. We need to think before we speak. And we should never, ever speak out of anger. Anger only lasts a while, but the consequences of words spoken while we’re angry can last a lifetime.

So if we’re angry, we need to take some time to cool down before we address a situation or speak about something that resulted in our anger.

And when we open our mouth to speak, we need to be oh so careful that the words we’re about to say are words that will be pleasing to God, and not just to let off steam, spout off our opinions or express our frustration.

Let’s learn to be quick to hear, slow to anger and slow to speak. And if we can learn this, our lives and the lives of those around us will be so much better.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-1-13

Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV) A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Our words, and the way we use them, can have a huge effect on our lives and the lives of those around us.

Sometimes it’s so easy to speak words that are harsh or hurtful. But kind words will bring forth much more fruit.

As a person who likes everything to be done a certain way, I have to catch myself on many occasions, before I speak, to make sure that what I am about to say is said with the right words and the right tone!

It can be so easy for us to lash out at people when we’re angry, and many times the people we’re angry at might even deserve it. But that doesn’t give us the right to do so.

It’s good for us to learn how to have mercy and compassion toward those around us, and try to administer that mercy and compassion to the very people that anger us. Words spoken in love and kindness can break through into the hearts of people, whereas harsh or angry words will only stir up more animosity.

After all, God shows us mercy and compassion when we’ve done wrong. Why shouldn’t we do the same?

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-8-13

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

Watching what we say takes constant work and at times it can be hard to hold back.

It doesn’t matter if it’s early in the morning and we are still waking up or we worked late hours and we are so tired.  It doesn’t matter if we are having a bad day, or if we’re not feeling well; if it’s not good, we have to hold our tongue.

Sometimes we like to give ourselves an excuse to justify our behavior. All that does is put  a bandage on it until the next time it happens. Let God help us get discipline over our mouths so we don’t keep repeating the same thing over and over.

Let us impart grace today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-23-12

(James 3:10 NKJV)  Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

How many of us can praise God in the morning when we wake up and shortly after that something happens to cause us to say something we know we shouldn’t be saying?

This stuff irritates me to no end, because it is so hard at times to stop in the middle of saying something. It’s like once it gets rolling it’s hard to turn it off. So, we have to try that much harder to not let it get rolling.

We have to catch it when it is still a thought. Do you remember your mom or dad telling you when you are growing up, you need to think before you speak? I remember especially when it was all said and done, and I was getting a lecture over what I just did. Whew…how many times did we have to hear this one?

We all struggle with this and it’s not easy. But, I will say that God is even pleased with our efforts in trying to do the right thing. If we fail and say or do it wrong, we need to repent and work at getting it right next time. That is what God is looking for… our effort in trying to do what is right.

Keep working it! It will get easier.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-4-12

(Prov 16:24 NKJV)  Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

Wherever we go today and whatever we do, let our words be tempered. Think carefully about the words we choose to say before we speak.

Words are very powerful. If we are amongst those that are having a heated conversation, it’s OK to take time to think about what it is we need to say before we say anything. We always want to help the situation and not hurt it.

We can’t  be so  eager to say whatever comes to mind at the moment; we need to think it through. Saying the right words at the right time can turn a situation around quickly.

God will help us with this as we pull back and surrender our words to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-24-12

(Prov 16:24 NKJV)  Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

Our words can change a situation if we let God lead us in this. He has the discipline we need to tame our tongue and boy does it need taming at times.

There are times when I can be cool, calm, and collected, but some days I’d like to get my mouth out there and say how I feel. Of course, that is not the correct way to behave. We all know this.  But, those days sure do like to sneak in there.

The Holy Spirit will help guide us to say the right things at the right time. Praying and asking God for discipline over our words is the first step. Don’t get discouraged if it takes a bit to get that old tongue to say pleasant words in some situations.

Just keeping working at it and allow God to help. He is patient with us all.
