Whose Words? – your Lion Bites word for today

In this day of social media and twenty-four-hour news, I hear the Lord asking, “Whose words are you speaking? Are you repeating words you’ve heard online, on the news or in what you’ve read? Are you speaking from a pure, trust-worthy, truth-telling source? Even Jesus held back and spoke only what He heard the Father speak. He chose to withhold and only speak from the purest Source! How much more do you need to do the same?”

Activation: If this word feels convicting or challenging, simply sit with the Lord and say, “Jesus, teach me to follow Your example as I want to live as You did upon the earth. I submit my mouth and my ears to You. I choose to only say what you say.”

John 8:26 NLT
I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.

John 12:49 NLT
I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it.
