LEARNING TO SPEAK TRUTH IN LOVE AND WHEN TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
It is
impossible to speak this language unless I am doing the talking. Speaking truth
alone, kills more people than it helps. Much truth comes from behind pulpits
and deals out more death than life, because ..."the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life." 2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) Most truth is used as a hammer, beating to death
the persons you love. Even if you have love it can be completely separated from
truth, because too much flesh is still alive, and the words originate in your
emotions.
Flesh always speaks out of the emotions, but I speak out of
your spirit man, where I reside inside you. The greatest feat that ever takes
place in the God/human relationship is when I control your tongue, from your
spirit. Here is a very hard truth, spoken in love; if you cannot control you
tongue, you are worthless to My kingdom! Really, "if any man among you seem to
be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this
man's religion is vain." James 1:26 (KJV) That's right he is deceived into
thinking he is spiritual, when all the time he is working for the enemy,
poisoning people with his tongue.
Truth spoken in love cuts like a
"twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and
of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart." Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) The one who speaks truth out of emotion, his "tongue
is a fire. (His) tongue is a world of wickedness set among our members,
contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on fire the wheel of
birth (the cycle of man''s nature), being itself ignited by hell (Gehenna)."
James 3:6 (AMP)
A clear example would be; If a religious father finds
out his daughter has been sleeping with her boyfriend and in a rage calls her a
whore, his uncontrolled tongue has dealt a death blow to his little girl. With
that one word, the church he attends, has just become her enemy. All his close
friends automatically are the foe, in her eyes. She, at that point, is driven back
to the boyfriend and possibly any man, that will speak kindly to her. A
spiritual man's response would be to Me first, not to her. He would be asking,
"Father, where did I fail my daughter? Please take charge of my tongue and speak
through me, restore her and make me the dad that represents you".
Your
tongue is either a hammer, smashing all hope, speaking truth from emotion and
flesh, or it is Me speaking truth from your Spirit, spoken in love, as a razor
sharp sword. Words of truth and love spoken and skillfully guided by My Spirit
to "strengthen (complete, perfect) and make the (person) what (they) ought to be
and equip (them) with everything good, that (they) may carry out My will; while
(I Myself) work in (them) to accomplish that which is pleasing in (My Father's
sight, all) through (Me the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to
the ages of the ages). Amen (so be it)." Hebrews 13:21 (AMP)
You cannot
go to school for this and no amount of practice will give you this skill,
because it's never you. I am the only one that can speak truth in unconditional
love. To speak truth in love, you must do one thing and one thing only, kill
your flesh by a complete SURRENDER. Not a surrender of your tongue, but of your
total heart, because "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
Matthew 12:34 (KJV) Truth spoken in love always comes from inside out, never off
the top of the head. Here is a rule that will save many souls, maybe your own
family, whenever you are emotional, keep your mouth shut!
"Understand
this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear a ready listener, slow
to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry. [20] For man's anger does not
promote the righteousness God wishes and requires. [21] So get rid of all
uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle,
modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted in your
hearts contains the power to save your souls (and those you speak to)." James
1:19-21 (AMP)
Slow to speak is Me, quick to speak is you! Remember the time
Peter was quick to speak to Me and I said, ..."Get thee behind me, satan:.."
Luke 4:8 (KJV) Your emotions, flesh and satan all speak the same language, using
words meant to rob, kill and destroy. I use words of "grace, seasoned with salt,
because I "know how you ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:6 (KJV)
