Watch your Speech

My Beloved, watch your speech! 

Pay attention to what you say and how you say it.

Discern the source of your words. 

Jesus says: ”What you say flows from what is in your heart.” 

Listen to yourself and discover what is in your heart, in your mind, in your soul.

Be aware that your words carry weight. Your words can be a blessing or a curse. Even

empty words have an impact in the invisible world. You can hurt or condemn people with

your words. You can encourage or heal them with your words. The tongue is a little but a

powerful tool, as the apostle James says. Become aware of the impact!

When you are close to Me and tuned into Me then your words will carry my authority, my

love, my hope, my good purpose and my life. They will be a blessing for others.

When you are worried or upset, your words can spread fear, anxiety, distrust and anger.

They might become a curse for others.

Therefore watch your words, guard your heart, and become an ambassador of my

kingdom and a wordsmith of life and future.

Activation: Today pay attention to your words and ask the Holy Spirit for discernment of what is in your heart. What thoughts, feelings and emotions are the root and origin of your words?

Who is the source of your words – God, others, yourself? Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand the source of your words and guard your heart today.

Luke 6:45 (NLT)

A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil

person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from

what is in your heart. 

Proverbs 4:23-24 (NIV)

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth

free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

James 3:2 (MSG)

And none of us is perfectly qualified. We get it wrong nearly every time we open our

mouths. If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you’d have a

perfect person, in perfect control of life.
