Watching over our words is critical to our maturity as Sons and Daughters.
James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his epistle chapter 3:
2 We all fail in many areas, but especially with our words. Yet if we’re able to bridle the words we say we are powerful enough to control ourselves in every way, and that means our character is mature and fully developed. 3 Horses have bits and bridles in their mouths so that we can control and guide their large body. 4 And the same with mighty ships, though they are massive and driven by fierce winds, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder at the direction of the person at the helm.
5 And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power! Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze. 6 And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame! It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence.
9 We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in his very image! 10 Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sisters, this should never be!
James shares the importance of watching over our words and the power contained therein. The adversary also pays close attention to our words. We either agree with Our Heavenly FATHER and Truth, or we agree with the adversary and his deceptions. As always, it is our choice.
As we align ourselves with The Word, our maturity level increases. Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:
10 Don’t you believe that the Father is living in me and that I am living in the Father? Even My Words are not My own but come from my Father, for He lives in me and performs His miracles of power through Me. 11 Believe that I live as One with My Father and that My Father lives as one with Me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done.
If Jesus relied totally on The Word from FATHER, we should too! A mature Son or Daughter is fully convinced of the power and authority of FATHER’S Word and has total trust in It as well thus the expectation will have zero doubt that The Word will come to pass.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
26 And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
27 God, the Searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet HE also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, His Holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.
FATHER left nothing to chance when HE sent The Comforter to us to intercede through our Holy language which is non-discernable by the enemy. What a perfect plan!
