The Words That I Speak


THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK. 

 

 

Where do they originate?

 

 

Are we speaking out of our own HEART.. 

And God has said nothing? (Eze13:1-9)

 

 

Or are we speaking what we hear of our Father…

…the breath of life from the Spirit? (Jn8:26,40;Jn14:24)

 

 

2Cor4:13;Ps116:10

“I believed…

and therefore have I spoken’…

we also believe…

and therefore speak”

 

 

Can you really train yourself to speak differently, when you doubt it in your heart? (Mk11:23)

 

 

I've heard it said, “CHANGE YOUR CONFESSION”

 

 

That may be true…

BUT…REMEMBER: 

 

“…every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race…

BUT NO ONE CAN TAME THE HUMAN TONGUE,

it is a restless evil [undisciplined, unstable], full of deadly poison.” Jas3:8AMP)

 

 

Since, “out of the abundance of the HEART the mouth speaks” (Mtt12:34;Lk6:45)

 

 

AND… “A good man out of the good treasure of the HEART bringeth forth good things...” (Mtt12:35–37)

 

 

Rather than just changing what comes out of the mouth…

                        WE MUST HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART!

CHANGE THE WELL… 

                     …NOT JUST WHAT SPRINGS OUT OF IT! (Jas3:10-12;Jn7:37-38)

 

 

Jer17:9 “The HEART is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

 

 

Ps26:2 “Examine me, O Lord, and prove me [put to the test];

…TRY MY REINS [kidneys – innermost seat of thought, emotion and affection – involving character/nature]

…AND MY HEART [inner man:  mind (thinking, reflection, intelligence) and will]”

 

 

Ps51:10 “Create in me a CLEAN HEART, O God; and renew a RIGHT SPIRIT within me.”

 

 

I love the Passion Translation of John 8:40 “I’ve only told you the truth that I’ve heard in my Father’s presence.”

 

 

Jn12:49-50AMP

“For I have never spoken on My own initiative or authority, 

but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment regarding what to say and what to speak. 

I know that His commandment is eternal life. 

So the things I speak, 

I speak [in accordance with His exact instruction,] 

just as the Father has told Me.”

 

 

SO…

 

Eze3:17;33:7 “hear the word at my mouth, 

and give them warning from me.”

 

 

…then can you assuredly say…

 

 

As Christ said in Jn6:63 “…the WORDS that I speak unto you, 

they are SPIRIT, 

and they are LIFE.”

THE FOOD PRAYER

Image
  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

The Perfect Will of God

  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
