But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. JAMES 3:8
Just think we can Murder someone with our tongue just by speaking ill things about them. We can kill them with our tongue in the natural and in the spirit. We all know the flesh dewelth no good thing. We must at all times keep our tongues tamed from things that can cause us to talk or speak against our brother and sisters in Christ and those that are not in Christ. Jesus did not go around speaking and talking against the people and expect to win their soul. So how can we expect to win a soul for Christ if we are always talking ill word to them or about them. When we do we are killing them naturally and spiritually. Also you must remember that the person you are talking to about someone else you could very well be killing them spiritually and fogging their mind with ill thoughts against the one person you are talking about. Just know GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY! God is about love.... And if we don't follow his commandment then we are being disobedience to Gods word. Taming your tongue is a daily work because we all know that if we walk in the flesh and someone set you off you know your flesh will kick in and then you are ready to fly off the handle with your tongue and say things that is hurtful to someone or those around us. We must remember that we will be tried every day by the devil and his imps and you if you give the devil a inch he will take a mile and then he got you right were he want you. We cannot let our tongues be like poison because we don't know the effect it will have on someone. And just think God will hold us accountable for what we do and say. People it's time out for all the tongue slashing , back biting , Ill speaking against people. If you read Proverbs 6:16-19 it tells you the six things God hates and the seven is an abomination unto him. So why would you want to disappoint God by killing some one with your tongue in the natural or in the spirit. Therefore let's TAME OUR TONGUE! and let's stop killing one another in the spiritual and in the natural. God wants a church with out spot or wrinkle as God created us to be like him and if we don't follow his commandment then WE ARE NOTHING LIKE HIM! We must TAME OUR TONGUES.
