Subject: Weekend Devotion: (Sat., June 27, 2020) FW: What Does Your Tongue Reveal About Your Heart? 

 

Hello Everyone!  Rise, Shine and Give God the Glory because He is the reason for all of our stories.  It is He that woke us up this morning, clothed and in our right minds, i.e., with a mind to pray!  Lord, whatever we do, let us not stop praying!  Yes, we are living in perilous times and prayer is necessary.  Even in the midst of this pandemic, we yet give thanks in everything because we know that God is yet in control of all things.  When we open our mouths, let us use our tongues to praise His Holy Name and speak the oracles of god.  speak the Word in season and out of season; cry loud and spare not; now is the time to spread the Good News of the Kingdom, so let us “build the Kingdom of God through love and empower people to reach their maximum potential”.  If I truly love you, then I will use my tongue to lift you up, build you up, empower you to go further in the Lord.  Our tongue should be used to tell truths and not lies, to build up, not tear down.  The tongue must be tamed by the Spirit; you cannot praise the Lord and then, with the same tongue, curse human beings.  The same tongue that says “I love God” cannot say “I hate people”  Therefore, love is the root of it all

 

Lord, help us to realize that the tongue is very powerful and it reveals what is actually in our hearts, so the conclusion of the whole matter is LOVE.  The love of God in our hearts will help us to speak what is pleasing in God’s sight.  The Spirit will assist us with exemplifying the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (Gal. 5:22-23).

 

God bless,

“For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.”

Matthew 12:34 (NLT)

There is no real secret to changing from an angry person into a peaceful person. In order to get the power you need to go from anger to peace, you need to be filled with God’s love.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:5, "[Love] is not easily angered" (NIV). In other words, if you’re filled with anger, then almost everything can upset you. But when you’re filled with God’s love your perspective changes.

Being filled with God’s love requires that you have a relationship with him. Your relationship with Jesus Christ will determine how patient you are and how well you master anger.

This means you can change. You can do it through the Holy Spirit! When you become a Christian, you have God’s power living in you. Even in a crisis—when people are out of work, kids are at home, and people are in isolation—you have all the power you need to make the hard changes in your life.

And it starts by looking at your heart. Matthew 12:34 says, "For whatever is in your heart determines what you say" (NLT).

Here are some things the tongue can reveal:

*	A harsh tongue reveals an angry heart.
*	A negative tongue reveals a fearful heart.
*	A boasting tongue reveals an insecure heart.
*	An overactive tongue reveals an unsettled heart.
*	A judgmental tongue reveals a guilty heart.
*	A critical tongue reveals a bitter heart.

If your tongue reveals an angry heart, then ask God to heal your hurting heart with his love. The anger in your heart may come from feeling rejected, abused, or unloved in the past. You need to know that Jesus cares about your pain. He can replace the hurt in your heart with his peace and replace your insecurity with his power.

As you begin to feel accepted in God’s love, your heart will change and produce the fruit of patience and kindness. God promises, “I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you” (Ezekiel 36:26 ESV).

Talk About It

*	What does it mean to be filled with God’s love? To be directed by God’s love?
*	If people went by how you speak and react to others, what would be the first words they use to describe your heart?
*	Why does feeling secure in God’s love help you show more love and patience to other people?
