The Froward Mouth!

                                                             The Froward Mouth!

 

A Heart/Mind Filled with Disdain and Jealousy!


Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacle was at hand.  “His (Jesus’) brothers therefore said to Him”.  Depart from here and go into Judea, that “Your Disciples” may see the works that “You Do”.  For no one does anything in secret, while he himself  “seeks to be known openly”.  “If” you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.  For even His brothers did not believe in Him.  (John 7:2-5)

 

When we say what we don’t mean and don’t mean what we say.

Today we call it “The Smart Mouth”; better stated “The Dumb Mouth”.

The froward mouth occurs when we fill our heart/mind, our Thinking Process, 

with bad raw materials, when we refuse to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

 

There is nothing new under the sun.  Our Daily Nugget is a classic example of the “Froward Mouth”, generated by a “Spirit of Jealousy” filling their hearts/mind, and the mouth speaking what the heart/mind has been filled with.

 

In the chapter preceding our Daily Nugget Jesus had 1. Fed the Five Thousand. 2. Walked on water. 3. Jesus explained to the people that He was the Bread of Life.  The people were praising Jesus, big time.  His brothers saw all this and yielded to the temptation to be jealous, exercised through the froward mouth.  The brothers of Joseph were the same way; many brothers are like that today.  Joseph and Jesus were humble; the Lord lifts the Humble and Humbles the proud.

 

The froward mouth is one of the things God hates; right there with pride, arrogancy, evil and the evil way.  When God is using your brother to do a great work there are two responses: 1. Happy and Thankful.  2. Jealousy and Arrogance.

 

Our Life and our Death follows our Thinking.

Speaking with the froward mouth lets us know that our Thinking is “Out of Order”.

Jealousy, arrogance, the froward mouth, evil and the evil way all leads to death.  A heart/mind filled with “Love” will be Happy and Thankful for the other person.

 

Bad fruit, problems, pain, hurt, etc. occurs in our life when we exercise the froward mouth and refuse to be genuinely Happy for people.  To be jealous leads to death for yourself and for your household.  Don’t worry, nor be jealous, be Happy.

 

Ask God to Bless You to Love your neighbor as you love yourself, 

this will protect you from the “Froward Mouth”.

The "Wisdom" in "Denying Self"!

                                                   The “Wisdom” in “Denying Self”!   The world is waiting on us to Deny Self and Live Holy!   For the wage of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)    Neither yield ye your members. Do not yield to temptation.  It is no sin to be tempted, the sin lies in yielding.   The Wage of sin is “Death While Living”; freedom is in Jesus. To yield or not to yield to sin is determined by our “Thinking Process”! Whenever we are tempted to sin; we can “Yield” or, we can “Yield Not”!   Just like our mouths speak what we have filled our heart/mind with; rather we yield to temptation or not is based also on what we have “filled” our heart/mind with.   Our Daily Nugget is telling us that the wage of sin is death, Jesus did not change that.  All who “believe” have chosen to “Yield Not to the Temptations” that the world offers.  This is a command from God to us.  The Bible says, “No Command From God to

Ambassadors!

                                                                       Ambassadors!   Everybody is an Ambassador of either God or Satan!   Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t “working with me” is actually working against me.  (Matthew 12:30) …And has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  Now then, we are Ambassadors for Christ….  (2 Corinthians 19 & 20)   Whose Ambassador Are You?  Look to your living! Ministering the Word of Reconciliation, The Ambassadors Job! We Kingdom Citizens, Christians, “Are” Ambassadors of I Am, God. Jesus said, If You Are Not Working “For Me” You’re Working Against Me!   Ambassador – An “accredited diplomat” “sent” by a Kingdom as its “Official Representative” to a foreign country, “To Deliver the Message of The King”!     The message of the King is given to the Ambassadors through The Word, The Bible, and through The Holy Spirit.   We must Study the Word, the Bible to “Know the Job Duties” for the Ambassador and “listen atten

Don't Let The Devil Ride!

                                                        Don’t Let the Devil Ride!   If you let him ride, he’ll want to drive, so don’t let him ride!   The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made.  One day he asked the woman, Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden? (Genesis 3:1) At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.  He fasted for forty days and forty nights and afterward was hungry.  The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God. Command that these stones become loaves of bread.  (Matthew 4:1-3)   Whenever the devil, the tempter, comes to us, we have two options: We can “let him ride”; we let him ride when we “respond” to him with our words. We tell him that “you cannot ride” when we “respond” to him, with God’s Words!   Our Daily Nuggets are two perfect examples in scripture of two people, one let the devil ride and one told the devil that he c
