Our tongue


The use of our tongue


Our tongues are so very powerful . 

 What a weapon the human tongue is, how powerful it can be for good or evil to build up or break down, to destroy or create.
Hitler was a single little Austrian upstart and yet he became the most powerful evil murdering man this world has sadly encountered.

What was his most powerful weapon?

Think about it through his mouth he inspired a whole nation to make war on the world and commanded and inspired his men to carry out the most appalling atrocities.

He was a short and odd looking little runt he did not have much going as far as good looks were concerned, with his ridiculous matching moustache.
 So how did he gain such a following?
He found power in his speech making and used his tongue for evil.

That shows the bible is truth when it says the tongue can be used like a piercing sword.
But there have been more good men and women [ thank the Lord ] who have used the tongue and speech to bring about good to millions.
I am sure you can think of many .
The founder of the Salvation Army was one of those [William Booth].
So what dose God say about the power of the tongue?

 Proverbs 12 v 18

 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise promotes health.



God shares this truth that our tongues can be like a sword and a sword can cut wound and damage.
But if we are wise our tongue can bring health, blessing encouragement.

PRAYER
Lord help us to use our tongue to bring Blessing health and healing every day in Jesus name amen
