WORDS at…

Decree: My “WORDS” are alive and fully supplied by the Holy Spirit!
Rabbi Joseph Telushkin notes: That “WORDS” are powerful may seem obvious, but the fact is that most of us, most of the time, use them lightly. We choose our clothes more carefully than we choose our WORDS! We are going to look at 3 ways our “WORDS” are directing our daily lives. Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21 (CEV) Words can bring death or life! Talk too much, and you will eat everything you say. Today I will find new found REVERENCE – the FEAR OF THE LORD and I will be “REVERENCED READY” in 2022!
Text: *Gen. 1:26-27 & Isa. 55:6-13– note V.11- “God’s WORD shall as a seed shall accomplish what He pleases” {like with King David - 2 Samuel 12:1,7 & 13} and we are created in His image! Come up to God’s way of thinking and God’s way of talking by His Spirit we have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16)!
#1 Words at WATCH
*Read Psalms 141:1-3– “WATCH” (SHOM-RAW’) = a guard. “KEEP” (NAW-TSAR’) = to protect, maintain and obey. *Pro. 13:3 (CEV)
Keep what you know to yourself, and you will be safe; talk too much, and you are done for. -*Proverbs 21:23 (TPT) Watch your words and be careful what you say, and you'll be surprised how few troubles you'll have.
#2 Words at WORK
*Read *Matt. 12:34-37 – note V.36- “IDLE WORDS” (AR-GOS’) = unactive- useless – unemployed! Note V.37- “THYWORDS” (LOG’-OS) something said including the thought – {THE TONGUE IS THE MOST POWERFUL PART OF THE BODY AS IT IS THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL.} *See *Ecc. 10:20 – “CURSE NOT” = to make light of (we all are kings – Rev. 1:6 & 5:10) See *Pro. 30:32-33 – put your hand on your mouth! Why? See *2 Cor. 5:10 – what we have done in the body good or bad brings judgment!
#3 Words at WORSHIP
*Read Gen.17 – note V.1-18 – “Do not carelessly curse your future by repeating the negative things of the past”.
Close with Psalms 19:14 & Eph. 4:29 prayer!
