If you listen to your mouth speak during the day much, do ya ever ask yourself..(like regularly) What do I speak about the most? And why? What do I speak about first?
Don't know about you, but I can become distracted away from what's most important in life. My fleshly nature wants what it wants (not what's best for me and others) and my heart can so easily drift off -- it's prone to wander off towards idols that others want for me, or that I create with my mind. Don't need em. I actually need the Lord leading, need Him real close.
If He ain't close in your life, in my life.. guess who moved away. It wasn't Him.
Is it about a love relationship, is it ‘bout a best friend or a hobby I enjoy? Do you speak about Jesus -- knowing and walking with Him? You know you want Him to be close and this relationship to stay vibrant, but is He currently your very best Friend, believer?
So many people know about Him, but don’t really know Him. They know about church stuff, the activities and all but do that places with their leaders even allow Him in? What do they speak about most? About frist? Good works, supporting their building etc? You know there are many healthy churches with spiritually healthy leaders who really do love Him most -- why not bail out and just go there instead?
Like a passionate bride waiting for her beloved Groom, we’ll be a Church ready for You. Jesus, we wait for, we wait on You. You’re coming soon! Even so come, Lord Jesus come. I love You Lord, but want to love You MORE. I believe, but want to believe much more -- help my unbelief.
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.” ~ Jesus, Matthew 12:34
Am I so passionate about Christ today that I can't help but to talk about Him and how wonderful He is? Do you feel like He's neglected, hurt or ignored you? He hasn't. We all can be that passionate!
Don't know about you, but I can become distracted away from what's most important in life. My fleshly nature wants what it wants (not what's best for me and others) and my heart can so easily drift off -- it's prone to wander off towards idols that others want for me (then I’d speak about em a lot..), or idols that I create with my own mind. Don't need em. I actually need the Lord daily -- close.
If He ain't close in your life, in my life.. guess who moved away. It wasn't Him.
“Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:23-27
You know how sin can be fun for a season (the Bible explains this), but then the repercussions and consequences can be really harsh, and even lethal. The wages of sin is death. People sin cuz they seek and desire pleasure -- they want to become happy inside. So many people feel empty, or dead inside, lonely, guilty, insignificant, forgotten, and afraid to die.
What does the Bible say?.. "But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives." 1 Timothy 5:6
Listen, you can have a happy life without sin, without selfishness.. with God’s word instead. “The mouth of the righteous is a well of life,But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.” Proverbs 10:11
The Bible says, “The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, No, not one.” Psalm 14:1-3
"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45
What's most in the well comes up in the bucket so to speak. Your thoughts, interests, hobbies, passions and emotions all end up on the tongue. You know it’s not wrong of course to speak of these things.. some of these things (it just depends on what you're into..) but where's your heart at?
“And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.” Acts 7:41
Do you have a relationship with Christ? You can (here's how to start).
So many today pride themselves in being a rebel, instead of brainlessly going along with the flow of the masses. I say.. Why not rebel against what those of this world demand.. who say you must do what we do instead of living for the Lord? Jesus did what His Father wanted instead of worldly or religious people.
Broad is the way to destruction. Narrow is the way to life. I say.. Be like a thermostat rather than a thermometer -- be a world changer. Any dead fish can float, can drift.. can go downstream with the flow. Listen, God’s looking for availability more than ability. Facebook.com/shareJesus
