The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him this morning went on further to explain that after having guarded our hearts with all diligence we need to set a guard on the things we say. This is to ensure that our mouths don’t destroy what our hearts have gained and we end up sabotaging our advancement through careless words.

In Proverbs.13:3 we read these words: Guard your words and you’ll guard your life, but if you don’t control your tongue, it will ruin everything. Now the Holy Spirit reminded me of the importance of us only saying only what God says about us and refraining from speaking our own words and voicing our own thoughts.

We are to set a deliberate guard over what we let come out of our mouths just as guards are set to protect a President or Prime Minister when they are traveling somewhere.

In each instance the police or secret service will thoroughly look through the route he is traveling through for all possible access routes that could have a potential threat to stop or impede his movement or interfere with any aspect of his movement.

Now in like manner it is our responsibility to watch carefully to ensure that we only speak things that edify and build up our lives and line up with our expected end in God. We must refrain at all costs from allowing our mouths to speak and utter words that will potentially destroy our path and end us up in a place we had not planned but where our enemy wanted us to end up.

Now Jesus said that men would have to give account of every idle word they speak, meaning we need to set a guard over the words we speak because they carry life and death and whichever we yield to determines our outcome. Proverbs.19:2. This therefore involves us making conscious effort to watch out for our tongues just commenting arbitrarily without processing the implications of what a single negative word could cost us if we say it.

This certainly makes us more aware of the importance of the words we use and more proficient in our articulation and framing of our words to bring healing and life rather than death. The Holy Spirit reminded me that Jesus only spoke the words His Father said He should speak regardless of His thoughts on the matter. John.5:30-32. This also meant that Jesus only received all the Father had determined for Him because He had no words spoken on His decision but only on what His father had asked Him to speak.

Jesus went on to explain to the Pharisees that He only said what the Father wanted and refrained from saying His will. John.8:26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”

We see here that Jesus set a guard over His mouth so that His results would only reflect the will of His Father. Therefore we need to do likewise with our mouths if we are to experience His words about us happening and manifesting on our behalf.

We cannot afford to speak our words and expect what God wanted to happen for us to happen as we authored those words and we will then have to complete them. This is because we refused to only say what Jesus said but chose our words rather than His.

The Holy Spirit emphatically said we need to set the guards to our mouths ahead of time so we don’t just keep falling for the same mistakes over and over again.

For this reason He wanted me to see it from the perspective of a ruler and the care taken to preserve him and then apply that level of care to how we use our words so we are not ambushed and end up in a ditch we had not planned because we did not set the right guard from the inception.

As we progress this fact we will make more effort to avoid ruining our lives by idle words we have not refrained from speaking arbitrarily, by only speaking what the Lord said about any given situation.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to break that spell over you that keeps speaking negatively that ruins your hard work and robs you of the manifestation of the miraculous in your lives. Let the grace in these words propel you to only speak as the Holy Spirit gives utterance and refrain from just blurting out idle words so your outcomes will be what the Lord ordained for you of triumph in all things.

May the good hand of the Lord be with you as you speak only His word to you and about you in any and every situation so the Holy Spirit outcome of signs, wonders and miracles will overtake and overshadow your earthly experience in life and be your now portion that men can see and thus glorify your master Jesus. Amen.
