There is no place in the entire Universe where God is not present.
THE GOSPEL TRUTH!
The SCOURGE of TONGUES… the POWER of WORDS whether good or bad is sure; that GOD LISTENS to every conversation is not strange for He is OMNIPRESENT, what bothers us most in this image is the NATURE and QUALITIES of our WORDS.
“Let no CORRUPT WORD proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary EDIFICATION, that it may impart GRACE to the hearers.”
Eph. 4:29.
The urge to GOSSIP, CURSE, SWEAR and speak negative WORDS is often greater than EDIFYING ones, that’s why it usually trapped us down contrary to our wishes many times despite knowing the consequences of BAD WORDS upon us and our audience. We can’t pretend or copy GOOD WORDS for long for it’s a matter of HEART… every TREE shall produce its species, no doubt!
The truth? Only the NEW HEART of CHRIST and His WORDS can change us from within and then the NATURE and QUALITIES of our word; EDIFYING WORDS are FRUITS of His SPIRIT… seek Him!
Matt. 12:36-37.
