As I was reading the Bible this morning I noticed just how much power we as God's children have within the power of our mouth. The Bible states in the book of Proverbs 13 verses 2-3 the following;" A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction." What these scriptures are saying is that what we say does matter. Have you ever noticed how people will say things like "that kills me", or "drop dead" etc., etc. The Bible also declares that every idle word will be judged. Does these comments fit that bill? God created man to have a positive affect upon the world and to tend it and keep it. The devil wants control of your mouth because he wants to use our words to help bring death, destruction and mayhem to this planet.
The key to keeping one's words pure is what one puts in. For the word of God declares that it is out of the heart of man that our words come from. To make sure that one is saying what God is saying we have to put the word of God into our hearts. The more of the word one puts in the greater the chances are you will see it come out of your life in moments of stress and or pleasure. Remember people of God we are created in the image of our Creator. He spoke the world into existence. We don't have that kind of power, but we do have the ability to create our own "little world" that we live in by what we say. If you don't like what have now maybe it is time to check your "mouth".
