TEXT: Psalm 12:3-4
WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF ON THE USE OF THE TONGUE , ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?
1. As Christians, we should be mindful of the names given to our children.
2. We should not use our tongue to abuse/curse our children.
3. We should not use our tongue negatively.
4. We should not use our tongue to condemn ourselves or others.
There are powers, Spirits and Angels around to pick on the word spoken to work. We have to be careful. The Holy spirit is presently present to pick our positive words to quicken them to work.
IF YOU WANT TO REACH HEAVEN, HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO USE YOUR TONGUE?
1. God forbid that we use tongue for tale bearing. God dislike the use or misuse of our tongue for lying. Lying is of the devil.
Anything you can not own up to, don't do it so you don't lie.
2. Do not use your tongue to deceive (deception)
3. False witnessing with your tongue, God forbids it.
4. Flattery not good to use your tongue to do.
God does not speak empty words. He does not joke.
If you don't speak sinful words, you're holy.
