BRIDLE YOUR TONGUE






Bridle Your Tongue
Psalms 39:1 - I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me

The bible says the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity that can defile the whole body (James 3:6). The bible also says the tongue is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison (James 3:8). A fool is known by a multitude of words (Eccl. 5:3). Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding (Prov. 17:28).

The bible says that by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (Matt. 12:37). Brethren, with your mouth, you can put yourself in bondage unknowingly! Many people call their children “fools” and then wonder why they are not doing well in school! I’ve heard MANY people say they things like “with my luck, I probably won’t pass that exam”!!! Brethren, let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is edifying that it may minister grace unto the hearers (Eph. 4:29). I’ve also heard people say things like “I’m having a bad day”. Brethren, once you’ve confessed with your very own mouth that your day is bad, it has no choice but to obey you. The bible says that it is not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth (Matt. 15: 11). Brethren, what has been coming out of your mouth lately? Do not let frustration make you confess negative things. Choose to say things like “this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

Brethren, let your words be seasoned with salt. You can ask God to set a watch before your mouth and keep the door of your lips:

Psalms 141:3 - Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips

Speak Blessing Over Your Family

Psalm 5:12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield. What do you believe and say to your loved ones every day? For orthodox Jews, on Friday evenings in their homes, the father lays his hands on his children and pronounces God’s blessings over them. No wonder Jewish children grow up to be winners in the fight of life! They become some of the world’s greatest inventors, bankers, musicians and entertainers. Although a minority race, the Jews have produced the most number of Nobel Prize winners. I believe that it is because they bless their children in the same way the patriarchs of the Old Testament did. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob released God’s blessings upon their children by laying hands on them and speaking forth the blessings. (Genesis 27:27–29, 38–40; 48:14–16) In the New Testament, the apostles pronounced blessings over the churches they were preaching to. To the church in Philippi, Paul declare

4 More Ways to Receive a Fresh Anointing In addition to spending personal time with God, here are 4 more things to consider as you seek a fresh anointing from God for your life and ministry: 1. A Fresh Encounter with God Through His Word ‘And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.’ (2 Cor 3:18) The Greek word translated ‘contemplate’ in this verse, means to look into a mirror. [3] In context, Paul is saying that we don’t have a blinded understanding—we have the fullness of the Gospel that reveals Jesus. It is on God’s heart that you encounter Him in the Bible, catching a fresh revelation of Who He is and see mirrored there who you are in the process of becoming. When you do, you experience transformation, you encounter God and you receive a fresh touch from Him. 2 . Make Room for More ‘In a large house there are articles not only of gol
