A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

Romans 10:9-10
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
Romans 10:9-10
The tongue is the Tree of Life. It’s also the source, or tree, of the curse. It is the kindling [the spark] that starts the fire that he’ll releases to steal, kill and destroy.
James 3:6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.

1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,

God called & ANOINTED Jesus to be the High Priest of our words, not just any words. The word translated profession or confession actually means “to say the same thing.” In other words, He is High Priest over His WORDS in our mouths.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

“Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
10. and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
Revelation 5:9-10
…and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Hebrews 3:14
For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
Hebrews 3:14
We are Partakers of Christ, of His Anointing, if we hold fast to His WORDS, and His WORDS only. Because we are His voice in the earth. He is our voice in heaven. When we speak His WORDS, in His Name, the devil and the forces of darkness: sin, sickness, poverty–the curse–hear the voice of Jesus! Not our human voices, but His voice of life. The Voice that created life!
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Hebrews 4:16
Speaking corrupt words is yielding to and saying things like, “I just don’t know what we’re going to do. We’re losing everything and, besides that, I can’t seem to get my healing.” Those words are “stout against God”
Malachi 3:13
“Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. But you say, ‘How have we spoken against you? ’

Don’t care how you feel. Keep your eyes on Him and on His WORD. His WORDS in your mouth will turn the biggest, most impossible things in this world around.
2 Peter 1:3-4
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4. by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
2 Peter 1:3-4
Words are the steering gear–everyone’s life follows their words. No one can change that. We live in a word-governed universe created by words. That cannot be changed. We can, however, change the words under we live.
Psalms 23:1-3
Psalm 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd
1. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Psalms 23:4-6
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
