30 Day Tongue Fast, Taming Of The Tongue--The Manipulating Tongue Day 3

Judges 16


We are walking in today:  30 Day Tongue Fast, Taming Of The Tongue--The Manipulating Tongue Day 3

Teaching from the book 30 Days To Taming Your Tongue by Deborah Smith Pegues


Witness entice throughout the Bible:  H6601 pathah spelled pey, tav, chet--to persuade, seduce

Genesis 4:7 If you do the right thing, won’t you be accepted? But if you don’t do the right thing, sin will be waiting at the door ready to strike! It will entice you, but you must rule over it.”

Torah: Exodus 22:16
Prophets: Jeremiah 20:10
Writings: Judges 14:15, 16:5; 2 Chronicles 18:19; Job 31:27; Proverbs 1:10

James 1:14 Everyone is tempted by their own cravings; they are lured away and enticed by them.


Judges 15:16 She said to him, “How can you say you love me when your heart isn’t with me? Three times you’ve made fun of me, and you haven’t told me the source of your great strength.”

Manipulation is a crafty use of the tongue and a self-perpetuating vice. Once manipulators find that their craftiness helps them to achieve their objectives, they become proud of their “smooth operating” skills. It is these skills that come to be touted by many for those who can 'get there way' on their jobs, with parents and in relationships--yet is that the way the Most High intended??  He gave us free will so how could we attempt to alter another's will when He will not?!
Fiveamprayer, we must no longer use the spirit of manipulation but trusting in Abba our Father's plan for our lives. He is amazing enough to shape you, from you, and renew you if you just trust and learn from the Most High. The changes that He does in our lives when we back up and get our fingers out of the pot is a transformation when we move out of His way and walk in the fullness of His plan!! When we begin to truly seek Him and study His word Hebraically from the original intention and language there is much that He reveals to us!!  Truth will be revealed about your character and life--he Most High promised to send us the Comforter to lead and guide you into all truth about yourself as well as others.

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Because I am in right standing with God, He surrounds me with favor. Therefore, I have no need to manipulate anyone for personal gain or advantage.
Shema Selah we will pause and consider our motives behind our words!!  Facebook LIVE video
