'...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.'
John 6:63b
Bible says in Proverbs 18:21 that, 'Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.'
If you love and speak LIFE you shall eat its fruit.
The same mouth that spits out life, spits out death As a result, there is no known culture, religion or society that does not speak against unguided use of violent words or the use of a curse against humanity.
Jesus Christ said WORDS ARE SPIRITUAL. The world was created by WORDS as spoken by God. God spoke everything into being. He then gave us dominion to rule the world. We exercise that dominion through our utterances. Our utterances are informed by our thoughts and our thought life determines our utterances for bible says in Matthew 12:34 - 37 that:
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
For by thy WORDS thou shall be JUSTIFIED
and
By thy WORDS thou shall be CONDEMNED.
You see, the beauty of scripture is that it cannot be broken. The WORD OF GOD is Infallible.
So be circumspect in your utterances.
Bible says a man is what he thinks in Proverbs 23:7a; 'For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:...'
You cannot says a different thing from what you think for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. And you are what you speak. If you speak righteousness you reap righteousness and vice versa.
Bible says in:
Proverbs 23:18
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
Proverbs 24:14
So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
Your expectations, hope, aspirations et cetera SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF. They shall thrive and prevail NO MATTER WHAT.
Your expectations, hope and aspirations are informed by your thought life which in turn determines and guides your utterances.
So if your expectations for your marriage is joy and happily ever after what do you get?
If your expectations for your children is progress and success what do you get?
If your expectations for your family is success what do you get?
If your expectations for your country is peace and stability what do you get?
Your expectations for the Church cannot prevail as Christ Jesus is the Head of the Church and the church is His Body. So His thought life determines our growth and success.
What are your expectations for your family and country?
Be generous in your thought life, utterances and expectations for your family and country.
