The words that we speak open 2 doors: be careful, make the right choice! - 52 Basic Bible Truths weekly study in 2007

Greetings,

Here is a short study on the power of the words we speak that I received from Mrs. Vicky R. Benson, Director of Prayer Mobilization, World Missionary Press, PO Box 120, New Paris, IN 46553-0120.

WMP website offer free downloads of their witnessing outreach tracts, gospels, and other information at: http://www.wmpress.org/index.shtml

With my grateful acknowledgment, here is her encouraging note for WMP February-March, 2007 prayer and praise requests:

As a child growing up, I was impacted by my fourth-grade teacher… as she led the class in reciting Psalm 19:14 every morning. “ May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

How important our words are, spoken out of the abundance of the meditation of our hearts! James noticed something amiss among his fellow believers: “Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.” James 3 is a sobering chapter, worthy of prayerful study.

1. SPOKEN WORDS ARE POWERFUL. Jesus resisted temptation by the devil when He quoted God’s words aloud. Jesus SAID, “It is written” (Luke 4). Satan had to leave.

2. SPOKEN WORDS HAVE IMMEASURABLE CONSEQUENCES. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21a). The tongue is full of poison, defiling us, and is like a spark setting a forest fire (James 3).

3. SPOKEN WORDS REVEAL THE NEED FOR CLEANSING. When Isaiah was in the awesome presence of the Lord, he responded, “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips” (Isaiah 6:5a). When Isaiah’s lips were cleansed, he was ready for ministry.

4. SPOKEN WORDS REVEAL CHRISTIAN MATURITY. “If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body” (James 3:2b). [Remember that ‘man’ was created ‘male AND female’ by God].

5. SPOKEN WORDS CAN MINISTER GRACE TO OTHERS. “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” (Ephesians 4:29).

Yours for trusting God to cleanse our tongues, that we speak God’s words of life to others that hear us and to ourselves as we hear ourselves. Amen!
