We are walking in today: Taming The Tongue--Self Depreciating Speech

 

Exodus 4:10-12 10) And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am noteloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11) And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? 12) Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

James 1:6-8 6)But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Isaiah 49:16

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

 

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

This morning we are learning about the effects of what we speak over ourselves and what we allow others to speak over us. You are God's beloved creation! How dare you speak poorly of yourself or allow others to do the same! We are made in His image and likeliness! We must speak and carry ourselves according to what the Father has already decreeded in our lives! We thank Sandy for her obedience and we pray that You, Lord would pour back into her for preparing this lessson this morning! Thank You for teaching us how to speak what You speak! Amen!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: Lord, let us speak what You speak. Let us see ourselves as You see us!
