Our words are like the bees, they have a sting but can produce sweet honey.

There is only one person who can tame the tongue, that is the Holy Spirit.

James 3:5-9
Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.  Se how great a forest a little fire kindles!  And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.
The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

Every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed by mankind.
But no man can tame the tongue, it is unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.

James is telling us that we create our own hell with our tongue.  We set our nature on a course of going down hill, when our words are negative and hurtful. 

Yet on the other hand, we set our nature on course with healing, hope, encouragement, if our words are from God's word.

We claim certain sicknesses because it is that season again, and speak with our mouth that we have it and its going to do such and such.

Jesus said, whatever you believe and speak you shall have it.
That is for the positive words as well as the negative words that we speak.

We end up speaking sickness to our body, and as we who have the power of Jesus in us, the very power that raised Jesus from the dead, whatever we speak contrary to God's word will effect our life. (Bee sting)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

On the other hand we can speak words of life that Jesus spoke in His word and His words are sweet to our taste. (Produce honey)
Psalm 119:103
How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Ecclesiastes 12:11
The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well- driven nails, given by one Shepherd.

Beloved, our words are so important.  How we say a thing and what we say, can heal or hurt.
Think for a moment about unkind words that were spoken to you, it was like a sting to your soul, right? 
So be careful what you say and how you say it, it can effect every part of your life, with family, friends and relationships, though we forgive, it takes time to heal from any wound. Jesus is the healer.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
