A Dangerous Tongue
Proverbs 6:2 ………
Restrain our tongue from saying something that we just felt we needed to say.
How often have we said things that we knew we should not have said? Everything within us is
saying, “STOP, DON’T SAY IT!” until It is too late. It is called “personal satisfaction of the
tongue.” We think it is our right to say what we are feeling when in essence it was a personal
wrong to do so. It is very serious how we use our tongues that can set the course for blessings,
cursing, lack, health, the Anointing, and more in our lives. There are things we ought to be
saying more of, yet there are many more things that we must stop saying with our tongues. The
very words that we have spoken may have stopped what God had intended to bless us with.
The enemy baits us to get us into conversations that will steal the Anointing through our tongues
by means of declarations. The enemy sets snares for us to step into with our words, with the
purpose of stealing from us. We are often snared by the words of our own mouth. Proverbs
6:2 says, “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy
mouth.”
Everything is not okay to say. Every conversation is not meant for us to be in, even when people
try to draw us in. it does not mean that it is our business. Now when I say business, I am talking
about things that we are speaking about that either are part of our spiritual responsibility or
under our spiritual authority.
If we, the children of God, are going to live a victorious life, we must be determined to get “A
New Tongue.” Our tongue shall be an instrument for victorious living in God.
Things that the Tongue Causes
Look at five key words that will allow us to see ourselves in them, the enemy has used against
us and to steal our breakthrough. Things like murmuring, complaining, gossiping, backbiting,
evil speaking, and outburst of wrath. These things are against God (as well as anything that He
has given, or instructed us to do.
We must never let our emotions, or feelings lead us, giving the enemy an opportunity to use our
mouths for our own downfall. We must crucify our flesh and allow the Word of God to clean us.
We must bring our tongues under subjection to our spirit.
There are three tests we must pass to access the power needed to fulfill the call of God. These
tests are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. I John 2:15-17 speaks of
them. “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is
not of the Father, but is of the world.”
We have been called to do great things for the Lord, which are due to a failure of one of these
tests. Jesus took these same tests in Luke 4:1-14 before He walked in the Power of the Holy
Spirit.
Galatians 5:16-17 says “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the
flesh.
Our flesh stops us from walking in the power of the Spirit of God. The lust of the eye. The pride
of life. Acts of the flesh will hinder the power to walk in the Spirit.
There a connection between our tongue and the demonstration of God’s powers.
I Corinthians 2:4-5 says, “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of
man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: Our faith should not stand in the
wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
