Blah Blah Blah!

Have you ever been talking to someone, and inside your head, you were thinking," PLEASE SHUT UP!" lol Well, lets see what the bible says about this. Ephesians 4:29 says,"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying (benefiting), that it may minister grace unto the hearers. If we are not speaking positive things, or things that will uplift others then we need to take inventory of what is coming out of our mouths. Sometimes its just best to be quiet. We often times cause warfare on ourselves by opening our mouths, either at the wrong time or we are talking in error. Let us be mindful of the things coming out of our mouths. The bible speaks about how unruly our tongues are and untamed it is. James 3:5-6 says,"Even so the tongue si a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. We must learn to take control of our mouths, and understand that we don't always have to have the last word. We must realize the power of our words. 2 Timothy 2:16 says," But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. Once we open our mouths to speak vainly it leads to other sins. You start out talking about who was at church last night, then end up talking about the wig or shoes somebody had on. It's so easy to slip into ungodliness, without even realizing it. We slip by taking our focus off of God and our need for him in every way.


Luke 24:1-32 tells the story of 2 men on a journey from Jerusalem, to a village called Emmaus. Jesus had been ressurected by the power of the Holy Ghost, and these two men were talking to each other about all that happened, and while they were talking, Jesus appeared and asked them," What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?" They did not realize that Jesus was listening to their conversation, they were so consumed in their words that they didn't even realize that it was Jesus talking to them until they invited him into their house to eat and he disappeared before their eyes. We have to be mindful of the conversations that we are holding. That we stay away from gossip and rumors. From murmurring and complaining. Phillipians 1:27  says,"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ...." If you find yourself not being the one speaking in vain but surrounded by people who does then you have to correct them or remove yourself from their company. We must remember that everything we say and do is being recorded in heaven. Philippians 3:20 says,"For our conversation is in heaven...." what do you want God to hear your saying? Is your speech pleasing to him? Are you uplifting your brother? Are you praying for the less fortunate? Are you speaking life or death? Are you using his name in vain? Are you cursing or are you blessing with your lips? Are you talking just to be talking or are you using your words for a purpose? Think before you speak my friends :-)
