The Loquacious Tongue--Many Words, But For What Purpose?

Proverbs 10:11-21, 17:28, 10:19

We are walking in today:  The Loquacious Tongue--Many Words, But For What Purpose?

Witness loquacious throughout the Bible:  tending to talk a great deal
Proverbs 10:8, 20:19

We have to not only consider our content, but also the quantity of our words, Fiveamprayer.  Today is the 28th day and we are looking upon the motor mouth--the loquacious tongue.  Fiveamprayer be aware that we are not well heard for our much speaking.  In some cases the amount of words we use can be disregarded.  Much like a small child that will keep saying the same thing over and over again.  It has been noted that when we speak longer than 10 minutes our conversations will cease being fruitful.  We do not want to be seen as a foolish person who does not know when to stop.  Or will continue to their detriment or unnecessarily.  We have to be aware of our audience and better yet consider our speech before speaking.  Remember that being silent is an option as well.  We can choose our words to be enriching, encouraging and enlightening to the listeners, if not--shush!  Be aware that many fools are revealed in their over use of speaking.  In some cases it is seen that the one who speaks first is the one more anxious or worried.   Those who are confident and sure will keep their silence.  Let our words be measured, fitting and few.   To hear more of this teaching click here.

We are walking in today:  The Doubting Tongue--Get Out Of Your Doubt Addiction!

Witness doubt throughout the Bible--to feel uncertain about, to fear to be afraid of
John 13:22; Acts 10:20, 11:12; 1 Timothy 2:8;  James 1:6

In this teaching, in the past 27 days of the various tongues, we find that even the most careful of us have used many of them even some at the same time!  Yahweh comes to teach us His good and right way.  He is a King and sets the rules of His kingdom!  Everything is not fit to be spoken out loud, pondered upon or even considered for more than a moment!  We do have natural doubt that has not yet been proven or awaiting more information before making a decision.  This can be easily seen in a large purchase where you haven't begun your research, before this large item purchase.  Not wanting to be swayed by advertisements that you are dubious to believe, with the slick camera tricks that are employed.  That type of doubt does not lead to other damaging behavior.  There is doubt that does lead to damaging behavior--it is this doubt that we will focus on today.  The doubt that leads to unbelief, bitterness, anger, fear, worry, low self-esteem.  When doubt goes unchecked it brings along friends for the ride and then you will be in a serious situation!  The largest issue with doubt it that is shows how much we do not trust in He alone who is good and holy.  This behavior shows that we are unsure He can deliver on His word.  Yet you know that you can not deliver on them either!  Thus bitterness and anger can set in.  When allowed to fester can infect many around you and make it harder to be sprung from the trap of enemy to bind and reduce your effectiveness in the kingdom of Yahweh. 
We have to uproot, remove and destroy doubt.  Rehearse His word that you find in scripture--for He delivers upon all of His word--guaranteed!  Know that He fails not and is worthy to be trusted.  This is a wrangling of our minds to get back on track.  Reading scripture out loud to yourself and redirecting us to that which is true.  Leave all of those lies on the ground--they have no effect unless you pick them up and think upon them over and over.  Once you uproot doubt and it's cronies--sow seeds of peace, trust, reverence of Yahweh,  joy, belief and confidence.  We must be aware of those around us.  If we are struggling in this area--look for those who are peaceful and full of confidence in Yahweh.  So we have to watch what we say and what those around us are saying!  For those around us that are not taming their tongues--do not accept those words that they may be trying to sow into your life.  Correct the words with your response.  If these dysfunctional words persist, discontinue the conversation or location.  This is an awesome teaching this morning, click here for more details to get free from the deceit of doubt.  https://www.freeconferencecallhd.com/playback.html?n=RvxYy/jhl9o

The Fourth Commandment Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to sanctify it .  Six days you shall work and accomplish all your work; the seventh day is Sabbath to the Lord, your God; you shall not do any work--you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maidservant, your animal, and your convert within your gates--for in six day the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested the seventh day.  Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.

364. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on your New Moons --Numbers 28:11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;

365. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on Shavuot --Numbers 28:26-27 26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the Lord, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: 27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year

366. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on Yom Teruah --Numbers 29:1-2 1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. 2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
367. You shall sound and hear the shofar on Yom Teruah --Numbers 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.

369. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offerings on each day of Sukkot --Numbers 29:13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:

370. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on the eighth day of Sukkot --Numbers 29:36 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:

371. You shall not demand payment debts remitted in the 7th year --Deuteronomy 15:2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the Lord's release.

372. You shall remit the debts of your brother in the 7th year --Deuteronomy 15:3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

 

 

The teaching for day 28 is the discouraging tongue--yet we find that most people's comments are likened to just that--discouragement.  Yahweh comes this morning to tell us to be encouraged!  That our words would lift up others and that we too would encourage ourselves as even David did in the Bible.  Remember all the good, great and awesome things that you have witnessed at the hands of Adonai.  Recall the seemingly terrible things that  you 'thought' would happen and were turned for your good.  Rely in He who set all things into motion and know that He is in control of all things.  No longer esteem the words of the doubters and poor comforters over the words that fail not!  We have to give more weight to the word of Yahweh, than the words of family or friends.  What did the Almighty God say about it?  That is the only word that counts and the only word with the authority to deliver on every part of it's decree!  Fiveamprayer, don't allow your eyes to overcome all that you know to be true.  He is our keeper and the lover of our souls!  All that He has spoken will be delivered unto us, in His timing.  

This discouraging tongue is very dangerous.  We see in the book of  Numbers 13 and 14 where the 12 spies go to look at the land to return a good report.  Of the 12 only 2 brought back the good report.  The determintion of the children of Israel, to remain in the wilderness for 40 years was due to the bad report of 10.  The entire congregation was to remain in the wilderness one year for each of the days the spies spent in the promised land gathering information for a good report.   Those who gave the bad report were not included in the 40 year wanderings--no they lost their lives.  We have to be aware of what words we are sowing into others lives!  Fiveamprayer take a look look at your conversation before speaking and find if you will be an encouragement to the listener?  Would your words bring peace to the situation?   Can the listener obtain a benefit from what you are sharing?  Do your words align with what Yahweh has already spoken?  To hear more on this click here.

Leviticus 16:1-20:27; Ezekiel 20:2-20; 2 Corinthians 6-9


We Are Walking in Today:  Torah Portion--Acharei Mot/After the Death & Kedoshim/Holy People


Witness community throughout the Complete Jewish Bible: found 200 times and means common union, people with same focus also considered family
Exodus 12:19, 12:47, 16:2, 16:10; Leviticus 16:17; Numbers 15:25; Deuteronomy 15:2, 33:4; Joshua 18:1, 22:18; Jeremiah 30:20, 31:33; Psalm 74:2; Ezra 10:14; Nehemiah 8:17; 2 Chronicles 6:3; Matthew 16:8


This Torah portion begins with the instructions from Moses to Aaron after the death of his sons who went before the Lord in an incorrect manner.  The instructions tells of the proper way to being offerings before Yahweh, how the high priest is to be clothed to enter into the holy of holies, where the presence of Yahweh resided over the cover of the ark.  The requirements for atonement for the high priest to offer sacrifices for the people for the arrival of His presence is the instructions for Yom Kippor, Day of Atonement.  We have to remember that we are not to approach the King of kings just any kind of way.  The love that He shows us is in showing us first that we would know how to approach and not be found out of order.  As we continue in the portion we have the directions for the community and those that come to reside with the children of Israel.  These directions are for all the people to follow without discrimination.  His word is His word, period.  Let us put away the instructions from man that are not from His instructions!  Matthew 23:2-3  (KJV) 2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.  Yeshua tells us that we are to follow the instructions that Yahweh gave to Moses to the children of Israel.  This is His word not the words of man!  Exodus 4:28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.  All that the Lord God King of the Universe speaks is to be upheld and highly regarded--this is the only word that never returns void!  Study to know more and more about Him and what He has in store for you!  To hear more of this lesson click here.

We are walking in today:  The Accusing Tongue--How Clean Is Your Conscious?

Witness  accusing throughout the Bible: false charges or to blame  Psalm 51:6; Luke 23:1-3, 23:13-14; Acts 24:8. 24:13


This is one of the tongues that we use with rare restraint.  It does not take much for us to put the screws to a person that even has a whisper of wrong doing.  How do we sit being able to pass judgment on the speck in their eye while trying to see clear of that oak tree that clouds' our vision?!  We can see even in courtrooms the importance of getting and weighing all the evidence.  Those major cases that the crime was tried in the media, first--makes for a very  difficult jury selection.  If those who are to weigh the facts have 'their' own agenda the accused stands with no hope.  This morning Yahweh comes to tell us all the ways that the accusing tongue shows up.  Also to be aware that the one pointing the finger, as the saying goes has three pointing back at them.  All the more reason to listen quickly and be slow to speak.  For that selah moment gives us more time to 'see' what is speaking.  The flesh has much to say quickly and without restraint--this tongue fast has given us hard to hear truths about ourselves.  No matter how well meaning we may have been---take the correction and find yourself in right standing with Yahweh.  We can not continue to speak ill of what was created in His image!  The same protection that we have from Him--they have it too.  That is not our position to point out their faults, you have your own!  Don't allow the enemies agents to distract you from the path of His righteousness!  Yahweh's word is true--all true and nothing but true!  Yet we have listened to the lies and there is that crack that disobedience finds to push us out of His good and right way.  We have to really get this--out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks!  When we have hurt, pain, bitterness, anger in our hearts that is what is shows up in our words and colors the atmosphere around you.  Why do people not trust what you say when you are in being so nice?  They know that there is more to the situation and the 'real' will come out eventually.  Fiveamprayer, we have to deal with all that is out of order so that we can be fully restored and directed back to His path.  No longer rely in your intellect and wisdom--that our faulty smarts have propped us up for a dangerous fall.   Pause and consider all that you hear, about those famous people, family and friends.  We are to be His agents here on the earth and many if us don't know what we will tumble out of our mouths.  The power of life and death is in our tongues!  That is power over our lives, and those that we speak to as well.  The words of the King sets that rule of the kingdom!  Remember that we are the lower case kings and lords that He is King and Lord over!  We  should be walking in His footsteps so much so that people get us mixed up with Him!  You have heard that children take after their parent so much so that that they are even confused with the parent due to their behavior.  Fiveamprayer, is anyone getting you confused with Yahweh due to your behavior?  If you were to stand side by side with Adonai would it be hard to tell who is who?  By your speech?  How you treat others?  How you speak to yourself?  Take time out to review and seek Him for these answers that you will not be misled any longer!  To hear this again click here. 

The Retaliating Tongue, Only Yahweh Pays Vengeance!

We are walking in today:  The Retaliating Tongue, Only Yahweh Pays Vengeance!

Witness retaliate throughout the Bible: found in the Complete Jewish Bible one time in 1 Peter 2:22-24

We have all at some point had some one who hurt us, whether on purpose or by accident that we were stirred to return the not-so-nice 'favor'.  We have come under the misunderstanding that if someone hits you, hit them back.  This rule of the playground is not used as often once we grow up but rather instead we use our words to 'get them back'.  Turn about is f airplay, right?  Wrong, all wrong!  Yeshua did not return back evil for evil.  He showed us that He would remain peaceful and kind.  This is important because only One can pay vengeance.  Only the Creator can protect and guard His handiwork.  We are hand crafted by Yahweh Himself.  We must consider and know, fiveamprayer that we are not to retaliate against His creation!  The same protection that we have, our offenders have as well.  They too are made in His image and likeness.  What we strive against is our fleshly desire to control and handle the situation--while that was never to be the case!  In the Tanakh or the first half of the Bible there is direction to how the community was to dictate order and consequences for actions.  These were handed down from Yahweh to Moses.  This was not to be done in anger for we are too faulty to be trusted!  The whole truth of the matter is that this was to help deter the wrong behaviors and seek to live harmoniously in a community.  Fiveamprayer, our plotting, scheming and backbiting towards those that have done us wrong is completely out of order!  In our pain and offense we have, to retaliate, we have now moved into disobedience.  This does not reduce nor relieve the pain that we feel.  Will we trust in Almighty God to deliver on all of His word?!  Be honest when you took the situation in your hands did it get any better?!  Even if a little bit, it was short lived!  And then pow--you have really stepped into it now! When you find out that the root cause that began the offense and your retaliation may keep this disobedience going and going.  When does it all stop?   Who will say when it has been too much?  Can you see how easily feuding families can begin and further division in communities or towns?  Could this be one of the reasons why Yahweh didn't want us to tear each other down?  That is could go on unchecked without limit?  We have got to be obedient to His instructions before we understand in our intellect! 
Our words and actions matter to others, ourselves and Yahweh over all!  We must cease from the disobedience and heated impulses.  We must move with purpose and not be in reactionary mode, more mistakes are made that way.  The forces of the enemy will try to have you to move before considering the best way to move.  This is why many things are taken out of our hands that we are not positioned to do the wrong things.  We are learning how to truly walk in His commandments in our daily lives.  That we will find the scriptures walking around, operating in our obedience.  Fiveamprayer, the Holy Spirit is leading us back to the beginning!  We are to have blessings on our lips.  Remember the bitter and sweet do not come from the same fountain!  This would be a great example in the retaliating tongue, having choice cutting words for the offender and then turn around with blessings for the loved one.  Why are we directed to love our enemies--that is not allowing for retaliation--because it is only for Yahweh to dish out as He sees fit.  Only He knows all and sees all!  Rely and rest, in the highest wisdom!  He is more than able to handle it all and certainly in the right way!  To hear more of this teaching click here.  

The Complaining Tongue--Change Your Words To--'I Won't Complain!'

We are walking in today:  The Complaining Tongue--Change  Your Words To--'I Won't Complain!'


Witness throughout the Bible: H6682 tsĕvachah outcry or shout
Numbers 11:1-3; Psalm 144:14; Job 9:26-29; Acts 6:1

When we are unappreciative we can easily find ourselves in complaint.  This does not seem like it does nothing more than be noise pollution to those with in earshot.  We have to realize that complaint shows our lack of trust and appreciation for the provision that Yahweh has given us.  He knows all things and we must be patient--His response and fulfillment of His plan.
When we use complaint with people for a benefit for the correction of a situation such as an incorrect order at a restaurant.  You could put on facebook how you have received poor service and the other offenses or speak to the manager to let them know so that it can be corrected and possibly prevent someone else from having the same problem. 
Let us not be found in constant questions of every area of our lives, that can lead to murmuring which can be contagious amongst others and breeds even more discontent in a community.  We have seen this in the wilderness with the Children of Israel.  We have also experienced this with others who work overtime to pull you into their discontent and dissatisfaction to gain 'allies' for their offense.  If this is something that can be dealt with--do just that deal with it so that it can be resolved and keeps the air clean without setting the stage for more discontent in others.  To hear more of this teaching click here.
