My Tongue Is The Pen


 


MY TONGUE IS THE PEN

 

 

Ps45:1 “My heart is inditing a good matter:

 I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: 

my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” 

 

 

“…out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” (Mt12:34; Lk6:45)

 

 

Inditing - primary root:  boil over or bubble up… 

to gush, overflow…

exhibit, point out, or show forth.

 

It is an older usage of the legal term, “indict” – to formally accuse of or charge with a serious crime. 

 

So… what are we full of?

 

What is spilling forth from the fountains of the deep of our heart?

 

Do I speak of things as “touching THE KING”?

 

Or do I gush forth the earthly things I see… situations influenced by the prince of the power of the air?

 

 

For which Kingdom do I speak?

 

 

My tongue is as a creative pen

always ready to write upon the Earth 

and tablets of men’s hearts 

what is… was… and is to come!

 

…to decree, form, and create

 

With what I speak,

 

Just like my FATHER!

 

 

James likens our tongue to a tiny rudder that steers a whole ship during a storm… and a little ember that will set all hell ablaze  (3:4-5).

 

 

We bless… and curse… WITH THE SAME TONGUE!

 

 

THIS SHOULD NOT BE!  (Jas3:10)

 

 

Jas3:11 “Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”

 

 

Jas3:8 “But the tongue can no man tame;

 it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison”

 

 

SO… what do we do?

 

 

CHANGE THE WELL!

 

 

Be renewed in THE SPIRIT OF OUR MIND. (Eph4:23)

 

 

Words are seeds. (Mk4;Mt13)

 

If I want a different crop… I plant a different seed. 

 

Fill my heart with the seed of God and it will reproduce after HIS likeness and image. 

 

 

First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear…

…30, 60, and 100 fold

FINALLY… a field white unto harvest

…”and we know not how it happened” (Mk4:27)

 

 

Remember… 

 

“you SHALL HAVE whatsoever you say.” (Mk11:23)

 

Ps45:1MSG

 “My heart bursts its banks,
    spilling beauty and goodness.
I pour it out in a poem to the king,
    shaping the river into words:”

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
