Yom R’vi’i, Kislev 22, 6004 – November 20, 2019
Speaking Out
Speaking is a process of releasing energy. Yes, there is much more going on when we speak, but the release of energy is clearly playing a role in what we are doing. Scripture tells us many things about this speaking. It can be delivered in a way that has power.
Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Interestingly we also receive counsel to not have both good and bad come out of our mouth.
James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Since we have scriptures that show us that people like David prayed and sang about destruction coming to his enemies, we know this must be speaking to more than just saying things that would be bad for them. It seems to be speaking to the issue of evil intent, and that our intent should be good and righteousness. James actually speaks to this later in this same chapter and at various places in his letter.
James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Let us move forward then learning and understanding all we can about peace that is from YAH – the shalom of God. There appears to be power in our words, good and bad, and the good is destined to win.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. You alone are my King! Praise the name YAH! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Deliver us from the hands of evil men. We turn to You to keep Your commandments that You have written in our hearts and minds. We ask You amplify these that we might do them. Sing over us, sing over us, Father YAH. Send us the blessings greater than those before, and place the curses upon our enemies and those that have spoken evil against us and over us. Destroy their words. Like David, in the name of Yahuah I destroy them. Selah. We ask all these things of You Father YAH, our King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.
