Before I get started I want to Thank my new found sister in Christ!. She came to me about this topic and I was so Inspired to spread the word by posting it to my Blog. Im more inspired by others to present the word of God and it takes boldness to go to someone about what your dealing with. So thankyou for trusting me and asking me. Jesus is Amazing.
"Thank You to Kiera Kimp"
Testimony Time
OK so I have a personal testimony about guarding your tongue. I use to use a lot of words that spoke death. I would say things like I'm so stupid, or I'm so dumb which sometimes I still do, not on purpose but it can become a habit if you have grown up for years taught to say these harsh words out of habit. Using Curse Word I also did out of habit only because my parents and those I surrounded myself around used Unintelligent words out of anger or just because. Its very serious that as Christian believers we are careful how an what we say as examples of Christ. I'm so thankful and grateful to say I'm an overcomer of that obstacle in my life and I have been set free from that time of speaking death over myself and others. This transformation only comes from God and a relationship with the Holy Spirit. If your struggling from this same issue I pray God will bring you deliverance in guarding your tongue.
What does the Bible say about Curse words?
In James 3:5-12
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth ( to brag) great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindeth.( to set on fire) 6
And the tongue is a fire a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among
our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on the fire
the course of nature: and it is set on fire by hell.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren these ought not be so.
In Verse ten I see many Christians deal and struggle with today. Your in church and praising God then as soon as you leave church your mouth is worse than a sailor. God is saying these things should not be. It's definitely time to exam your self and the words that proceed out of your mouth.
(You can read the whole thing for accountability, but I wrote the scriptures that stuck out to me the most )
In Ephesians 4:25-32
29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which
is good to use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the
hearers. 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger,
and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.
(Again You can read the whole thing for accountability, but I wrote the scriptures that stuck out to me the most )
Most
of the time when you are using corrupt language ( curse words) its
either because you are listening to corrupt music, television, friends
you are around the most or in most cases your family.
Its a hard and nasty habit to stop but with Gods grace you can be set free from this sinful nature by applying these scriptures to your everyday life.
Romans 12:2 kjv
2 And
be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is holy and acceptable, and perfect
will of God.
Sometimes separating our self from this world spiritually is what will help. ( pray for sanctification) When
I say spiritually I mean denying your flesh to sin. Each and everyday
killing your flesh and becoming alive in the spirit. How? by Praying in
the Spirit Daily, mediating on these scriptures or any scriptures that
you need at the time to help you, also worship. Which for me is the best
medicine.
Sometimes you might slip up but don't condemn yourself
to hell. God will forgive you and if your heart is pure of wanting the
change he will definitely forgive you.
Also, anger can be one of the main reasons why a person may use curse words. In
James 1:19-24 KJV
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore
lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive
with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
When your impatient its also easy to use words out of frustration.
I
was told as a child that when people use curse words it's because they
don't have anything else intelligent to say. I'm not to sure how this
plays with everyone but for me it would be, because their are so many
other chose of words than using corrupt language.
When we use curse words we are not only speaking death over our selves but those around us as well.
Proverbs 18:21says
Death and Life is in the Power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Which brings me to the last scripture.
Fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-26
22
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there
is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lust.
25 If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Praying for these fruits will build
the character that God wants you to have and by applying these
scriptures to your everyday life. Meditate on them, Study them, pray
them, read them, and stay in the Spirit (praying in tongues) This will
help you.
So I know this was kind of long, but I pray
that it helps you. I have been at this place in my life before. So stay
Encouraged.
