Watch Your Language!

 by: Annagail Lynes

I have a big mouth. If you have read my testimony, you know that I have struggled with panic attacks and an anxiety disorder that most of the time left my tongue paralyzed when it came to simple things, such as ordering a meal or answering the phone. God delivered me from the solitude I had imprisoned myself in. However, I had a new problem–now I talked too much.

Ah. Did you realize some attachments to your knowledge reservoir of panic attack?

Do scan our write-ups on health too. At the close of this report you’ll have an access to the pivotal contents.

I have started to monitor my words and have been shocked by what I discovered. Complaining…gossiping…fault-finding…even negative words and word curses.

Matthew 12:36 says But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day judgment for every careless word they have spoken. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time to get our mouths in order.

According to Proverbs 18:21, death and life are in the power of the tongue. Deuteronomy 30:19 makes it even clearer by saying This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.

When God created the world, Genesis 1:3 says And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. He gave you that same power to speak things into existence. You might be thinking “how is that possible?”

Mark 11:23 states “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. According to this verse, you can have what you say–negative or positive. Throughout the Bible, especially in Proverbs, God speaks about our mouths.

James 3:3-10 shows us that our tongues are like a bit in a horse’s mouth. With that bit in place, you can control the animal, turn it any way you want it to go. Or like a ship that can be steered by a small rudder. Our tongues are little, but they can contaminate our whole bodies and the lives of others around us.

We are the only creatures created by God that can choose what we say. Although a parrot can talk, he can’t choose the words that come out of his mouth. He only repeats what he hears. Verse 9 notes With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. and Verse 10– Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.

In church or around godly friends, we praise God and talk about what the Bible says. When we arrive home, when we are in a jam–lost our car keys, , had an argument or our teenage daughter announces she’s pregnant, we complain, gossip and, believe it or not, we even curse people and ourselves with our words. Have you ever called a person “stupid,” said you wished they were dead or that you were never born? Those are all word curses.

Charles Capps speaks of a woman in his book God’s Creative Power for Healing. Whenever this woman got mad, she would say “that just burns me up.” She would say it several times a day. For several months, the woman continued to have a fever, but the doctors couldn’t figure out why. She had no physical reason to have a fever. Then the doctor asked her about her habits. When he found out she had been saying “that just burns me up,” he told her to stop. He wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with the fever. Within weeks, her fever left her.

Did you know that angels are all around you, just waiting to carry out your words of faith? When you speak negatively, you cancel out the positive words you have spoken. James 1:8– He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. A double-minded person is one who has one foot in the world’s way of thinking and one foot in God’s promises. God is calling us to choose one and be steadfast in that thinking and that thinking only. The Bible says that God would prefer that we either be hot or cold rather than lukewarm Christians.

So, how do we start to change our mouths?

1) Ask God For Help. Make Psalm 141:3 Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. your daily prayer.

Goodness gracious. You’ve been patient enough to read till this point, it means you are truly inquisitive in panic attack and health. Your additional inquisitiveness in this ballyhoo would be an added leverage for you.

2) Renew Your Mind. Romans 12:1-2 says Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will. By changing your thoughts, you will change your mouth because Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) reveals For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Memorize scriptures on the mouth. Meditate on them by thinking about them, reciting them, mulling them over in your mind. Make them personal to you by inserting your name into the scripture, such “For God so loved Annagail that he gave his one and only Son, that Annagail who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) Then try to visual yourself speaking and thinking according to God’s Word.

3) Monitor Your Mouth. A wise person watches the words that come out of his/her mouth.. Ask God to convict you when you utter wrong words, use profanities or cut someone down. When you get into a bad situation, Philippians 4:8 says to Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

4) Start to prophesy over your own life. God told us to calleth those things which be not as though they were.(Romans 4:17 KJV). As long as it lines up with God’s will, you can speak out what you want as long as you keep speaking it and believing it in your heart. Speak God’s promises over your life.

5) Use your mouth to exhort and encourage others. Begin to pray God’s word of your life and the lives of your friends and family.

I am still struggling in this area, but every day I am growing up more in Christ. We must train our mouths and flesh to conform to God’s Word. I challenge you to make a decision to do so today.

ALL ABOUT TIME

If you are all hot for data on then this is the ideal article for you. The acquisition of engrossing intrinsic details related to could be contemplated here. Your thoughts would demonstrate a serious transformation.

You particularly want to comprehend it diligently to have the complete know-how. Get ready to get the psychedelic material ahead.

June 21st is the longest day of the year. The amount of daylight begins to diminish after this date. We may not even notice the seconds that are added to the darkness hours, but in time, an hour will be deleted from the day and so forth.

What is your belief about the utility of this article?

Those who were seeking for felt blessed. To few, unproductive!

Only you have the ability to be the best judge of this report. To analyze if the article holds some importance for you, you need to scan it till the concluding word.

Time is really in the mind. It is not something that you can grasp, touch, smell, or even see. You cannot hear time. Surely, the ticking moments on a watch gives you some insight into how quickly days pass, but time, of itself, is not really anything.

But time is so very important to each and every one of us. Our homelife, jobs, career obligations, children s events, social engagements are all set for a specific time. You set an alarm clock to wake you and you go to sleep after the 10 p.m. news. You eat lunch at noon and supper around 6. Your birthdays falls on a particular date in time and holidays roll around year after year. Stores carry calendars and time pieces by the millions. Everyone has appointment books or desk diaries. We note special occasions and important dates to remember. Our days are set around a 24 hour, 30 or so day month, and 12 months in a year. We age, or so we think, by our calendars. Now, step out of the realm of time and ask yourself what you would be doing right now if time did not exist. Would you be following a similar schedule or would you be freer to do what you want to do when you want to do it? Would you accomplish the same amount of work or would you slack off because time is not of the essence? Oh, the doors that self-knowledge opens!!

Of course, time will be with us as long as we live. We will have to abide by the standards that the world sets for certain dates, activities, and occurrences. However, there is a freedom that we take for granted - the freedom of choice in what we do with the time we are given. Will we make it a better world, or are we just biding our time? Do we plan on bringing beauty into our part of the universe with music, art, and literature? Will we help as many as we can along the way, or will we hurry by, checking our watches, so that we don t miss a single important item on our agenda.

Who decides what is important and what needs to be done? Who - you! Yes, you have the ability to pick and choose, do or not do, and also decide priorities. If you are a business leader, do you have time for your employees? As a worker, do you have time to share insight and possibly new ways to do a determined task so that it would be easier and more pleasant for everyone? As a mother, father, daughter, son, grandmother, grandfather and so forth, do you set aside time to keep happy relationships in good repair or do you glide across the mirror of years and figure things will take care of themselves? As a husband or wife, you make sure there is quality time for the children, but do you sometimes forget meaningful time with each other?

Do you keep in touch with friends, try to establish new acquaintances, and lift up those that are unhappy, hurt, or in need of a kind word or a touch of your hand? You make out your appointment sheets, set your time restraints and choose the importance of what takes up your time and what you set aside for later. But how much later is later?

Well. This report is planned at catering all the readers of . I believe it met your demands till here.

We have several write-ups on which you may read over. We promise you that the stuff could be accessible at the finish.

Earning a living, whether you are single, married, divorced, or widowed will surely take up a lot of time. Then why do others find a few moments to stop and chat, smile at a passer-by, or even thank someone for assisting them with their purchases or serving their meal? Note that the really important tokens of being a happy, healthy, loving person take only a moment or two. In turn, you will find out, they add years to your outlook and to your vision of the future.

Fine. Can you discover an addition to your wisdom on ? I’m confident, you must have acquired it.

It might merely take few minutes to glance over the contents on . Be placid to glance over the left over section as further hierarchy on lie ahead.

None of us know how much actual time we have to live, nor would we want to. With information like that, we might make foolish choices and create dangerous situations for ourselves and others. So this information is not ours, but if we wake in the morning, we have a day to look forward to. We can fill it immediately with to do things or we can follow our schedules but keep an eye open for opportunities to become what others need, reach out to those you can t, and stop a moment instead of walking past.

Each and every day will not be a pollyanna type of ritual. It will be a time of being available for what is really important in life and what will count in the end. Whatever comes along can be dealt with or handled however seems appropriate. There are always small hidden treasures of a moment or two to say thank you and please. A smile doesn t even use up a second, but its glow will reach into the ages. A sincere handshake will move mountains, and a loving meal will feed the soul as well as the body. Time is what you make it - use it however you choose - but you can t stop it from ticking. Today s opportunities will not be there tomorrow. A missed chance at being someone s mentor, friend, or lean-on may never come our way again.

Our treasure chests are filled with the jewels of hours and the rubies of days. Hidden or squandered they fade and vanish. Used, they emit a glow that will light up the entire solar system. If there is life on other planets, I do hope our beam of time will brighten their day and give them hope to know that time is what you make of it, not what it does to you.
ENJOY!
