Greetings Balanced Life Family,
Did you know that your tongue is a weapon? Yes, it is. It’s a weapon that can be used either for good or evil. Let’s explore this.
Some people use their tongue as a weapon for evil. They use it to retaliate when someone has offended them. That’s usually done in the heat of the moment. Things are said that are later regretted. Once the words come out of your mouth, they’re out there.
The tongue can speak lies, profanity, gossip, and it can degrade the character of others. All of these things are hurtful and the weapon used is the tongue. These things are spoken by a tongue that has not been tamed. The scripture tells us that “the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” James 3:8 Only God can tame a tongue.
Now let’s see how your tongue can be used as a weapon for good. Your tongue can fight against evil. Use your tongue as a weapon to speak the Word of God. And when you speak it, you must believe it.
Speak a scripture of light into your dark situation. (John 8:12) Speak a scripture of confidence when you don’t know what to say. (Exodus 4:12) Speak a scripture of victory when you feel like you’re being defeated. (2 Cor. 4:8&9) Speak a scripture of praise when sadness comes your way. (Psalm 34:1) These are only a few ways to use your tongue as a weapon. Speak the Word of God, which will bring you victory.
The scripture tells us that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue:” Proverbs 18:21 You have a powerful weapon in your possession. Use it for good! Speak victory!
