Proverbs 18:20-21
"With the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit."
We need to get our words to agree with the Bible not the other way around. Are we agreeing withGod or are we releasing death with our words.
1. Value of words. Words connect us to God. Words are how we connect with God.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit."
Proverbs 18:21 NASB
"If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness."
Romans 8:10 NASB
"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."
Romans 8:11 NASB
"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."
Romans 8:11 NASB
""Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come."
Matthew 12:31-32 NASB
The next verse talks about how the tree is the heart and the fruit is the mouth.
""Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.
But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.""
Matthew 12:33, 36-37 NASB
What you say can send you to hell! You need to watch your words. It can send you to hell because your heart is hard (speaking to the Pharisees).
The Holy Spirit that reveals to us that we need a Savior. When the Holy Spirot comes to you your heart will have become hard and you will go to hell
The unpardonable sin is not a sexual sin. It's the sin your commit with your mouth. We would not be seeking God if we had committed the unpardonable sin.
"And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,"
Hebrews 9:27 NASB
2. Words connect us to each other.
"He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD."
Proverbs 18:22 NASB
We connect with God and people through our words. Any time we have had a problem or a disconnect it has always involved words.
Some people have a bad marriage because we are speaking death into our marriages. We have bad marriages because we have a bad mouth.
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,"
Ephesians 5:25-26 ASV
I feel so fortunate to have Michael. I'm so happy that we share a spiritual life. He cares for me every day. It has been so hard to learn to accept the help and yet I am so grateful for the help every day. I feel so blessed and I hope Michael feels as blessed.
"Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land."
Proverbs 31:23 ASV
We need to stop speaking death about each other and speak life into our relationships.
The way to repair relationship. I was wrong, will you forgive me? The words that fail are: I need to ask your forgiveness. Most people just say that but never actually ask for forgiveness.
