“All kinds of animals...are being tamed&have been tamed by man but no man can tame the tongue”Jam. 3:7_
James
speaks a profound truth by drawing our attention to an organ in the
human body that can easily be underestimated yet so powerful-The Tongue.
The thought of ‘oh so could those words come from such a person’,
speaks it all. The visible tongue bringing out the intent of man can
damage all that one has built for years.
Likewise
the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.(v.5)_
And
so we are able to tame all those animals even the wildest but sometimes
our greatest defeat comes from our inability to control that ‘reddish
thing.’
To
tame is to train, cultivate, discipline, enslave or to make not
dangerous. Of course, James himself says no man can tame the tongue. So
who can?-God, through his Holy Spirit. *How?...Through letting us know
who we are as children of God-A new creature.
*How
does this new creature behave in an old body/mind?...By continually
renewing and transforming it through his Word which says let your
conversations be full of grace, seasoned with salt at all times. (Col.
4:6)
*The last which is key in the taming
process is to continually live in the CONSCIOUSNESS of your status as
Christ's Rep. here... which means allowing his Spirit to lead you to
know what, where, when and how to say it. Gradual it is, but it's only
sure way to get us to that point where certain words can't fall even
when we want to. #Tamed #YourLife #Thereof
Beloved,
we live in an era where a lot of our declarations have not only
destroyed our relationships with one another but even delayed our
blessings, made us stagnant or even rained curses upon our lives.
Basically, it has given the devil a footstool in derailing God’s plans
and purposes for our lives.
Our tongues/words
are to speak life, positivity, proclaim blessings and glorify our maker.
Get this and live in that Consciousness.
*SO I SAY: Let the Holy Spirit Tame Your Tongue.*
