THE POWER OF YOUR TONGUE

MATTHEW 12:33-37

³³ Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.  Jesus is describing our lives.  We can make our lives good and the fruit good.  It’s not in the hands of anyone else but YOU! If you have negative fruit. (What’s happening in your life), you need to do some work on your tree. (Your mouth)

³⁴ O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.  Jesus is defending himself against the Pharasees.  If you don’t have anything good to say, it’s beause ther’s nothing good in you. Get around people with the right spirit. “For out of the abundance of the heart” – the center of man – his spirit – Listen to what you say most of the time.  That is your inventory (your abundance)  We have to listen to what we are saying.

³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Work on your inventory.  Put more good things in.  We create negativity with our own words.  You can have either good treasure or bad treasure.  Treasure is what is important to you. Be careful of what your treasure is.  Is it good or evil?

³⁶ But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Jesus is putting a lot of importance about what comes out of your  mouth.  You have to give an account of the things you have said.

³⁷ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. You can speak your way out of the situation. GOD can make your words come to pass.

PROVERBS 15:4

⁴ A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. When you get your mouth right you speak life.  We must train ourselves to speak life, even when things look negative.  God is working it for my good. The breach is a whole. If you are being destroyed, there is a whole somewhere.  You need to fill the whole with good treasure.  IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, BUT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.

JOHN 6:63-64

⁶³ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. It is the spirit that brings forth life. If you got it by the flesh, it won’t last long.  The words that I say are the very breath of GOD.  Only humans speak.  If you continut to speak it the words will come alive. Negative eats negative. IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE.  IT’S WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE.  The spirit will make it live.

You can’t be blessed constantly speaking negativity. What you speak is the lottery ticket! Most people speak negative over themselves. (I can’t do this! I’m a failure! Im getting sick!, etc)

⁶⁴ But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.  They didn’t believe JESUS so why do you get mad when they don’t believe you.  CHECK YOUR INVENTORY! 
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO’S IN THE WHITEHOUSE. GOD IS IN MY HOUSE!

PROVERBS 18:21

²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  If I want joy, peace, etc., in my life, I will speak joy, peace, etc in my life. It doesn’t matter what other people say, but what you say.

MATTHEW 8:8

⁸ The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

MATTHEW 6:25-34

²⁵ Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

²⁶ Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

²⁷ Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

²⁸ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

²⁹ And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

³² (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴ Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
