What Comes Out Of Your Mouth?

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt. Open your mouth and I will fill it. - Psalm 81:10

May the people praise you, O God; may all the nations’ peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him. – Psalm 67:5-7

We have to be mindful of what we are saying to ourselves, about or situations and about others. There is nothing more dangerous than a ruthless tongue. Sometimes people will say negative things concerning our lives but the Bible has told us what to do in such situations. In Isaiah 54:17, it declares that no weapon forged against you will prevail, and that you will refute every tongue that accuses you. It reminds us that this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and this is our vindication from Him. So we must never be worried, hung-up, upset, sad, suicidal or disillusioned about what somebody has said or done concerning us. It is of no importance – quite frankly it is a waste of time praying about it!

What we must focus on is what is coming out of our mouths during difficult times. You shall essentially have what you say. What you focus and ponder upon, you will surely become. Jesus tells us says in Mark 11:24 to have faith in God. Even when things look bad, we must continue to proclaim that Jesus is Lord. We must also continue to believe, confess and act according to what God has said and not how we feel.

The words that are coming out of our mouth are crucial. Maintaining an attitude of praise and belief is our key to victory so we must watch what are saying. It is only when we chose to praise God at all times that He comes to inhabit our praises and walk with us. If you want big rewards in your journey through life, make praising God a big part of your life. Life and death are in the power of the tongue and you will eat the fruits of your mouth!
