I haven't been able to write a blog for a few weeks now. Usually my heart wallows up with words and scripture when I have a song that continues to ring in my head. But this time I just couldn't. God was trying to speak to me, but I wasn't hearing with His heart, and He sure had His flashlight on mine.
With all the ugly going on, and all the lessons I have been learning on truth, I thought that the posting I was doing on FB with scripture, God would be happy about. Maybe He was glad it was being told. But there was something more going on I wasn't catching onto. It's His word I thought, so it's the truth. I truly thought, It may even help someone. Problem was, I thought I was doing it in love. But God sees to the deepest part of our hearts that we don't even realize. But today I heard Him loud and clear.
From where I was in my reading in the Bible, in James 3: 1-12, I was very much convicted. Especially when reading the verses 6-10. Verse 6 "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. Verse 8, "but no man can tame the tongue, it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness." .. Don't miss that, "made in God's likeness."
Then I read this in a devotional today..."sin will kill the life of God in us. We must mentally bring ourselves to terms with this fact of sin".... As a Christian I know I don't even have to speak it. All it has to do is be in my thoughts and I'm sinning. So yes, I may be writing loving truth, but what is really going on inside me. There's no fooling God. He will reveal it to you one way or another. He desires for us to have a healthy Christ center character.
Every single human being on the face of the Earth is a creation of God. They may be far from God and very different. But they are still His creation. We should be people of prayer. Like it says in Ephesians 6: 18, "And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests."
I won't stop speaking the truth. I won't let the enemy stop that. But I will read Psalm 139: 1-4 and 23-24 before I do. How can you go wrong if you ask God to search your heart first. "Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely".... or Jeremiah 17: 9-10.." I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind" Don't miss that, "examine the mind."
"So we the church who bear Your Light. Lamp aflame, city bright. King and Kingdom come is what we pray. We need a fresh wind. Pour Your spirit out."
Holy Spirit help us. If we want to see the overcoming of Jesus in our life, we need to become poor and spirit, Matthew 5: 3.
For Your glory Lord
