Declare the Truth.
Soldier of The Cross, His name is The Word, and He has never spoken casually. He means what He says. He has also made it implicitly clear that you must do the same.
On a daily basis, I receive phone calls and e-mails reporting stunning and explosive ruptures that people are willing to launch against another. It seems the conscience is easily seared, and there is a momentum that ends in emotional quicksand.
This is a matter for prayerful consideration and possibly fasting. In my experience, Christians who have a serious problem with the tongue have never been "being filled" with the Holy Spirit. There is a tendency to be casual about the effect on others, and most often there is a complete lack of empathy.
When the Holy Spirit is invited and allowed room to heal the soul, the Believer begins to have a healing of hearing - the voice of God, and the awareness and hearing of the Believer's own voice as well.
He who created all with "His Mighty Word of Power" (Hebrews 1:3, Amplified Bible) wants to create His own likeness in us.
Here is the beautiful thing; there is tremendous power in the tongue.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or
life.]
Proverbs
Is your tongue yours, or does it belong to the One to whom you have given your life? Who owns your mouth?
Soldier of The Cross; do not cheapen your ability to formulate words. Only in Glory will you understand the infinite value of words.
For now, give the matter to Him. Let Him know He can speak through your mouth and that He can say the thing that may be beyond your understanding.
This is a serious matter for those who would serve Him. It is about His Word. It is about more of Him and less of you.
Soldier, speak to Him about this matter. Dedicate your ability to speak to Him.
You are appointed to Praise Him and declare His works.
Let Him have His way. You just take one step at a time.
Tell Him aloud.
He is faithful and He will lead.
