My Thoughts Wesley Crawford

Judged By What You Say

God's word says we curse and bless with our mouth and this shouldn't be. In Matthew it says on judgment day we'll give an account of every idle word we speak. It also says we'll be justified and condemned by our words.

The Word Web dictionary defines the word idle as;
a. silly or trivial - "light idle chatter"
b. lacking a sense of restraint or responsibility - "idle talk"

With the definition in mind, think about all the words you've spoken and what it will cost you on judgment day and what it's costing you today. You also need to think about what it's costing those you've cursed, it doesn't matter if you meant to or not. Kingdom principles exist whether you know them, follow them or not. They're like gravity in that, it doesn't matter if an infant or an adult steps off of a cliff they'll both fall. Now the infant doesn't understand gravity, but he'll still fall, just like an adult who understands.

So often we, God's children, curse ourselves and others without realizing it. Most in the church aren't aware of the evil spirits that attack us. Some believe Christ's first coming replaced the need for spiritual gifts and truths, not realizing that it was Christ who told us of  the Holy Spirit, sent by God to indwell us and give us power.

The thoughts in our minds are not originally ours, the source of our thoughts are God, the evil spirits, and our carnal nature.In actuality, thoughts that come from our carnal nature, are thoughts from our past, which mean they originated either from God or the evil spirits.

Ok, that being said, we need to rebuke the evil thoughts in our mind, because what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart and this defiles a person. It's important that we start walking in the authority  that God gave us.
