It is wrong to accuse someone of doing wrong without talking with them first. As well, it is folly to give an answer before hearing the problem. These are true sayings. Think before you speak, choose your words carefully and if you do not have anything good to say, do not say anything at all. We can break up our relationship or lose our job, because we did not think before we spoke. What we say out our mouth comes from our heart. We are held accountable for every word that comes from our mouth. The Angels in Heaven writes down every word we speak. There is nothing wrong with telling someone how you feel, but without the negative emotions behind them. There is a wrong and right way to speak to anyone. If you speak to someone in a humbling way, it is on them. But, if you speak to them rude, then it is on you.
Our emotions transcend everything. Our emotions take things to the extreme. We bring our emotions to life and let our emotions think and speak for us. We put an emotion behind what is being said and done to us. We say and think things that we really do not mean because of our emotions. Emotions can expose the truth or magnify the lies. Love is the only emotion we should set our standards by and live by. However, the emotion love can be manipulated into the wrong sense. Such as, you love your car, but if your car breaks down will you still love it. We love our spouse, but if they cheat on us will we still love them. We have to be careful on how we emphasize our emotions towards people and things. When we are dealing with people we do not want to, we need to be steadfast on keeping the love that God gave us as our focal point. Because, love is nothing but facts and the truth. If we deviate from the facts and truth we have opened ourselves up for ungodly emotions that can tear us down mentally and physically. If we take our emotions out of it, we will not get offended by what people say and do to us.
Blessing and cursing should not come out of the same mouth. We cannot bless someone then curse them. Such as, God bless you, then I hope you die. When we say things like this we are speaking a curse on someone life and ourselves. We can speak blessings or curses on our family, health, job and relationships. Once we think and speak divorce, we put a curse on our marriage. Once we say our child is not going to be nothing, we put a curse on our child’s life. Some people know there is a curse put up on them and some do not. Some people know they are speaking a curse and some do not. We do not have to know someone personally for them to curse us. Some people were able to find where their curse came from and break it. We are fighting against principalities in dark places. People uses your name, hair, picture to cast curses. Speaking failure and death into someone’s life is speaking a curse. There are people who will encourage you, but in their heart is deceit. Some people would act like they care about your situation. But, they are around to gloat, know your business and watch you fall. What if you did not know someone was casting a curse on you? Our negative thoughts towards someone is casting a curse. This is why we have to stay in prayer. The more we speak blessings into someone’s life the more we are blessed. We are either going to bless or curse someone with what we think, speak and feel. There is no in between. We have to learn the difference between blessing and cursing someone. The curse we’re trying to cast will return back upon us ten fold.
To lie has to come to our mind and out our mouth, which make us a liar. People know when they are going to tell a lie before they tell it. Some people lie so much lying comes natural. Some people tell lies to have a conversation. It is unnecessary to tell a lie, because all lies will eventually catch up with us. Some people say they only lie to save their life. Well, if they were living for God they would not have to lie to save their life. In some situations we are forced to lie or have our children lie for us. Such as, when a bill collector calls. We have our children tell them we are not home. A child should never be taught or put into a situation to lie for any reason or anyone. Once we lie we have to keep up with that lie we told. One lie brings many more lies. Some people do not know the full truth about some things they just make up lies as they tell the story. If you tell the truth with a lie, you are still a liar. People tell lies with the truth because it keeps people interested and the suspense going. People are sadly mistaken if they think lying does not make them a thief. If you will lie, you will steal and cheat. Cheating on someone is the same as lying to them. Some people get caught in their lies and some do not. Some people are good at lying and some are bad at it. No matter what the situation is we are not to lie about them. There is no such thing as a little white lie. A lie is a lie. Liars are not in the Kingdom of Heaven.
A thief is no different from a liar and cheat. No matter the quantity and quality if we steal it, we are a thief. From a lie, Satan was given dominion over the world. The world did not fall into Satan’s lap. Satan came with furtiveness. Meaning stealth and slyness to have dominion. He is a thief with low social status. Some of the same people that sit in our face come with furtiveness to take what we work hard for and to be. Some people do business with thieves. Even though, they did not steal it they would buy stolen goods from a thief. Some people have a thief steal the goods for them. Money, joy, identity and ideas are things people steal. Some people purposely steal your joy because they are unhappy with their life. Some people have been killed or beaten near death for their idea or the material things they had. Many people are known for plagiarism. Some people do not have their own idea and individuality. If we think for ourselves we can come up with our own idea instead of someone else’s. If we love ourselves first, we would not want to be and act like someone else. Instead of stealing food and money go ask for it. Keep asking for what you want until you get a break through. But, do not steal it. We cause people distress when we lie and steal from them. If we knock, it shall be open. If we ask, we shall receive. If we cannot get what we want, then we need to wait instead of stealing it. We are an uneducated person of low social status if we steal, lie and cheat. A thief expects to be stole from and a liar expects to be lied to. Thieves and cheaters are not in the Kingdom of Heaven.
To tell of those things that are done in secret is a shame on you. It is a disgrace, dishonor and immodest to tell the things we heard and saw someone do in secret. It is better to keep your secrets to yourself or tell it to a stranger you will never see again. Some secrets cause shame and dishonor. Noah was laying drunk, butt naked in secret. Noah’s son was punish by God, for exposing Noah’s nakedness. This was an dishonor to Noah. What we do in the dark God will bring to light. The secrets we tell will eventually be revealed. So, what are we telling? Most of the things we do and say in secret we know is wrong and not of God. As well, God sees everything so, what are we hiding? Everyone knows a secret about someone. No one secret is safe. Secrets are made to be broken. But, shame on the person who tells a secret for money, revenge and jealousy. The one who is keeping the secret is no different from the one with the secret. As we get closer to the coming of Jesus the things we say and do in secret is being exposed. Such as, adultery, molestation, murder, etc… Because some people continue to do these things they are being exposed right now today. Whatever we want to know about God is in the Bible and Jesus’s words are in red. We may not know when God and Jesus is returning, but Him coming back is no secret.
Our conversations we have about someone should be for edification, not humiliation. Instead
