We are walking in today: Taming The Tongue--Recovery Room
2 Corinthians 4:1-2 (MSG) [ Trial and Torture ] Since God has so generously let us in on what he is doing, we’re not about to throw up our hands and walk off the job just because we run into occasional hard times. We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don’t maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don’t twist God’s Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God.
Proverbs 29:12 (MSG) When a leader listens to malicious gossip,all the workers get infected with evil.
God looks to bring things back to the original condition that is why this word recovery is so important. This word addresses that which was lost and a correction is made to restore what was lost or misplaced, that the time or circumstance would be put back to the original setting or state. Genesis 14:13-16 (MSG) A fugitive came and reported to Abram the Hebrew. Abram was living at the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and Aner. They were allies of Abram. When Abram heard that his nephew had been taken prisoner, he lined up his servants, all of them born in his household—there were 318 of them—and chased after the captors all the way to Dan. Abram and his men split into small groups and attacked by night. They chased them as far as Hobah, just north of Damascus. They recovered all the plunder along with nephew Lot and his possessions, including the women and the people. Genesis 14:17-20 (MSG) After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and his allied kings, the king of Sodom came out to greet him in the Valley of Shaveh, the King’s Valley. Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine—he was priest of The High God—and blessed him: Blessed be Abram by The High God, Creator of Heaven and Earth. And blessed be The High God, who handed your enemies over to you. Abram gave him a tenth of all the recovered plunder. 1 Samuel 30:17-20 (MSG) David pounced. He fought them from before sunrise until evening of the next day. None got away except for four hundred of the younger men who escaped by riding off on camels. David rescued everything the Amalekites had taken. And he rescued his two wives! Nothing and no one was missing—young or old, son or daughter, plunder or whatever. David recovered the whole lot. He herded the sheep and cattle before them, and they all shouted, “David’s plunder!” As Pastor Taffe taught on Sunday that we have to know that in a battle, in that fight there is plunder. That which was taken, is what we need to recover! Your peace, your joy, all that you lost--is to be returned to you! What is it that you are to take back?! We must be like David when we are under attack and things taken from us, to seek God! As the scripture that we walked in during the prayer conference that so perfectly aligns with the Recover Room for today--1 Samuel 30:8 And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. Thank You God for giving us time this weekend to rest in Your recovery room. Lord we want to go back to our original state. We know that where we are right now is not our original destiny or position. Thank You God for teaching us that this week we can learn and even recover what we have lost in our silence and obedience to Your word! To listen to this message click here!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I have been recovered! Thank You God! No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper!
