We are walking in today: Taming The Tongue--The Meddling Tongue
Proverbs 26:17 (NIV) Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
2 Thessalonians 3:11 (NIV) We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
1 Peter 4:15 (NIV) If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
Proverbs 17:27 (NIV) The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Isaiah 30:21 (NIV) Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Isaiah 30:21 (NIV) Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Proverbs 13:1 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.
Thank You
for joining us on our continued study of Taming The Tongue. This morning
we discuss the meddling tongue. We thank Sandy Bell for her time and
preparation and study of this unruly thing, the tongue. We pray that You
would pour back in to her for all that she pours out on this line and in study
with You. Thank You Lord that You continue to cover and keep her in the
palm of Your hand, Lord! Lord we pray for ourselves that we truly walk in
all of the corrections that You have sent us on the tongue. Lord, let fiveamprayer
have a changed mind—that we truly walk in this. We must check ourselves
to see if we have been operating in a meddling tongue. We must not allow
our concern for others to over step the boundaries, to go to another place that
is truly not our business. We must repent for the times that we were
meddling, God has called us to be encouragers and up lifters! We have to
be wise in the use of the power that is in our tongue. Are you speaking
life or doubt and despair? Our questions should be leading the listener
to seek out God and the heavenly things of the kingdom! We will have to guard
this wild animal that lives in our mouths, that our teeth would be a cage for
this unruly thing! We must follow the leading and prompting of the Holy
Spirit, that we speak what is needed in that time. Sometimes we are just
providing noise pollution instead of being still and letting God lead them in
His way. We have to set down that we know best for everyone else--Proverbs
12:15 (NIV) The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise
listen to advice. Seems that there is more benefit to listening than
there is to speaking without knowledge! Proverbs 10:8 The wise
in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. Proverbs
8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Job
34:2 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have
knowledge. Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise teacheth
his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Lord, thank You for
coming to teach us how to operate our mouths! And that You would come to
add learning to out lips! We bless You name Lord! Thank You for
loving us so much that You correct us! To listen to this teaching, click

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I am genuinely interested in others and seek to help and serve them. We will genuinely seek You God for ourselves and the concerns that we have for others. Teach us the difference in a genuine concern for others instead of meddling.
