Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-24 – The Power of Words

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus! 

Something we all have in common is words. 

We speak them every day from a very young age. We may not all speak the same language, but the words we speak have the same meanings. 

In our newest video, The Power of Words, we teach about letting God show us how and when to speak words that glorify Him. 

This is something we can all use a reminder about from time to time. 

We hope you enjoy the video.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-6-24

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 language matters. Why?

Because that is how we can bring change to certain situations. If we speak from a righteous heart we will produce good fruit.

The words we choose can bring peace around us. They can calm the atmosphere. They can snuff out the flame in heated conversations and turn them around, bringing laughter instead of yelling and bickering.

The power is in the tongue!

Where do our words come from? The fruit from our lips comes from our heart.

Learning to wait on the Lord to lead us in our conversations is crucial. And then following through, with the help of the Holy Spirit and what He puts on our hearts to say in that moment, will bring life to those who receive these words.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-23

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!

Have you ever said something, and as soon as it left your mouth you knew you were in trouble?

Yes…it happens to all of us at one time or another.

It’s called open mouth insert foot syndrome!

It is important for God’s children to be very careful of the words we speak.

If we realized how important our words are, we would give more thought to what we say and how we say it.

Words just seem to come up and out at times when we least expect it. Without even thinking about what we are going to say, they will just fly out.

But we can control them.

That’s right. We really can control our mouth.

It’s not always easy. I am still working on it.

It takes being aware of what is about to come out at all times.

Sometimes I am just tired and “my bucket is full”.

It’s no excuse, I know. But it’s the truth.

When our bucket is full, we need to be more alert and much more attentive to what our mouth is about to speak.

It’s not easy to make sure we say the right thing at the right time. It is my prayer for us all to get better at it, though.

Remember, the next time we must give an answer to a person or situation, joy comes by the answer of our mouth, if the answer we give is the right one!

Give time for the Holy Spirit to move on us before we let our words roll out.

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

God, help us give the right answers in due season. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-25-21

Proverbs 13:2 (NKJV) 2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.

The fruit of our mouths brings us provision.

What we eat will be determined by how we control what comes out of it.

If we want to live well, we’d better watch what we are saying and doing.

Our tongue is powerful. It makes our life simple or it makes our life hard. What will we choose?

Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

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

We are seeing a lot of violence and corruption these days that can easily lead us into negative talk.

If we can find the good, and focus on that, it will help us to keep our heads up and our mouths speaking the right things.

We will reap from the fruit of our lips.

Don’t let these times and the tough seasons pull us into negativity. Look to the One who holds our future in His hands.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

We are not alone. We are not losing ground. We are simply dealing with corruption that needs to be exposed and addressed, and God knows how to address it.

Stay strong, and don’t fall in the hands of the unfaithful. Their way is not our way. They feed on violence. We feed on God’s Word, and the fruit from it is Amazing!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-11-20

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

The words we speak can have a large impact on our lives and the lives of others.

Part of how they impact people is more than just what we say. It’s in how we say them.

When someone is combative and argumentative, the worst thing we can do is argue back with them.

The best thing we can do is speak softly and with kindness, even if our flesh tells us otherwise.

This is a very hard thing for some of us to learn, especially if we have a strong personality that feels the urge to “set people straight” all the time.

But I have personally seen this defuse many tense situations over the years.

And if speaking kindly to someone who is being belligerent and offensive doesn’t defuse the situation, it’s probably best to walk away anyway, since arguing with them won’t accomplish anything.

There’s nothing deeply spiritual about this. It’s just tried and true wisdom from Solomon, someone who had lots more experience than most of us ever will when it comes to dealing with many different people of varying personality types across a multitude of situations.

Despite its simplicity, it can be life-changing for so many of us.

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 – 7-13-19

1 Peter 3:10 (NKJV) 10 For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

Our words hold weight. So, watching what we say can be a full-time job.

Taking our time speaking, instead of just blurting things out can sometimes be critical. It will help us to get a handle on this and teach us that our first thoughts are not always the ones we should say out loud.

Taking our time before speaking will help us hold back that tongue, and keep us from getting in trouble and saying the things that are not right.

Our minds may try to justify it in that moment, telling us that we have every right to say what we want. But if we take the time to think it through, we will see our thinking can be off at times.

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

An uncontrolled tongue coming from a believer in Christ will immediately turn off any unbeliever and keep them from wanting to hear anything we have to say regarding Christianity.

Forget witnessing to them. We lost them right off the bat. Even though they may use bad language, gossip or speak harshly themselves, they will judge our actions because of the label we wear. And they will think that we are not different in any way, rendering our words useless.

A heart that has truly been changed will change our tongue, change our actions, and change our love for others.

People outside of Christ know what to look for in a Christian even if they never have stepped inside a church.

Remember, if we want to help change the world, we need to start with our own tongue, by keeping it tamed.

James 1:26 (NKJV) 26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-24-19

James 3:2 (NKJV) 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

Words. Tiny little, intangible things that can wield incredible power.

Indeed, they are potent. They have the power to tear down or to build up. How we use them is up to us.

We all have shortcomings. But our words can be the hardest one to rein in.

James said in the verse above that if we can rein in our words, we are perfect (mature).

That says a lot!

We may be able to fend off many other temptations, but still struggle with gaining and exercising control over our tongue, one of the smallest members of the human body.

So, how do we conquer this tiny little thing that causes us so much trouble?

We let God sanctify it by His word and guide it with the Holy Spirit!

God has given us every tool we need in order to live lives that are pleasing to Him, including taming our tongue.

And as we give ourselves over to Him, a little at a time, we will begin to see ourselves change and hear ourselves speaking fewer damaging words and more encouraging, uplifting words.

We can speak death, or we can speak life. Which will it be?

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-2-18

James 1:2 (NKJV) 26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

The word “think” in this verse is very important!

We think we are religious, but then we open our mouth every time we feel like it. We have no restraint on our lips, so we say what we please, when we please.

James is simply stating that we need to be careful what we say. We can’t just say what we think all the time and have no control over what comes out of our mouth.

We’re told that we need to bridle our tongue. But what does that mean?

A bridle is a headgear that a horse wears and is governed by. To bridle something means to restrain it, to have control over it.

We have to take full responsibility for our words. We need to govern or restrain our tongue, so that we just don’t say what we feel. Don’t allow it to get us caught up in gossip, trash talking, vulgarity or negative talk. We need to be slow to speak and quick to listen.

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

Have we ever said something, and then later on said, “oh boy, I wish I had never said that.”?

We can’t take back our words once they are said. Words are powerful and can do a lot of damage, or they can do a lot of good!

Proverbs 15:4 (NKJV) 4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

Let’s be careful what comes out of our mouths. We don’t want to cause destruction with our words. We want to be edifying, uplifting and encouraging with our words.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-23-18

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

This is wonderful to know. Time and time again I have to remind myself to have the right attitude.

One recent day I was waiting in line to park my car. The person in the car ahead of me was taking forever. They were talking away with the parking attendant. Then when they got around to paying, it didn’t stop there. They continued to sit there and talk more.

I waited and waited. I could feel my blood pressure rising. I thought of many unholy things I could do. Can you relate?

As I sat there, I decided that when it was my turn to drive through, I would not say a word. I was afraid I would say something out of anger and wish I had just kept my mouth shut.

My turn came and he scanned my parking pass. And on my way through, the gentleman said in a nice calm voice, “have a nice day”. My lips were sealed, just as I had planned.

I immediately felt the conviction, but quickly tried to justify my actions.

As the day went by, I kept being reminded of what took place earlier that morning.

Finally, I said, “Lord what is it?”. He reminded me of what I did. I said, “Lord, the reason I didn’t open my mouth and say anything was because I didn’t want to say anything that I would regret. So, I just didn’t say anything at all”.

He didn’t say much, but I knew He wasn’t buying my excuse.

As time went by that day, I finally admitted that I was in the wrong. As much as I wanted to think I did the right thing, I really didn’t handle myself like an ambassador of Christ.

I said to the Lord, “I’m sorry, and on my way out, I will do my best to make up for the wrong that I did”.

As I left the parking lot, the same people were still in the booth and I was able to make things right.

The tongue is powerful when it speaks, and even when it doesn’t speak. Make sure that the fruit that comes from it isn’t rotten, but good tasting! Amen.
