Lips of Honey

Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? Do both blessings and curses come out of your mouth? Today, I am calling you to a higher level of fruitful talk. It is time to cough out any pollution that might still linger in your mouth.

Allow my pure, refreshing, cleansing water to flow through you. Watch as I polish your words and infuse your lips with sweet honey. Don’t let that thought of cynicism or sarcasm slip through. Resist the words of retaliation and shut them down before they escape your lips. Instead, speak life and bless those around you. Then bless again.

Let your words be a fountain of life, showering your listeners with grace, kindness, and love. I will give you courage to speak the truth. Be my mouthpiece. Receive the new, heavenly vocabulary that I am giving you. I am releasing Kingdom ways of speaking over you right now. Your words will have a new, gracious impact and bear fruit in years to come.

Activation: Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight any unwholesome speech coming from you. Ask Him to cleanse you, touch your lips and purify your words. Make a conscious decision to bless someone today. Ask God to direct you to a particular person that you can speak life over. Challenge yourself by blessing someone you don’t naturally get on with. Take a note of how they receive it.

Job 33:3-4 (NIV)

My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know. The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. 

Hebrews 13:15 (AMP)

Through Him, therefore, let us at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the

fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.

Proverbs 10:21 (ASV)

The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
