Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. 1 Peter 2:1-3.
“I did not speak on My own initiative but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment what to say and what to speak. I know His commandment is eternal life therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:49-50.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
Your words and your works give evidence of who you are. But they actually give evidence of your faith. If your words are full of anxious thoughts, worry, fear, anger, and bitterness, you give evidence you have no faith. If your works are not fruitful but idle or even wicked (steal, kill, and destroy), you give evidence of no faith. Faith without works is dead. A branch that bears no fruit on a fruit producing vine is dead, useless, to be thrown out and burnt as firewood. Give Me evidence of your faith. Smile at Me instead of crying, complaining, grumbling, and blaming others, yourself, and Me.
Jesus told His disciples, “Do you not believe I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The Words I say to you I do not speak of my own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.” John 14:10. Works result in fruit. Fruitful labor. The fruit of your lips is work and you will eat of what it produces. I created everything by Words. My Word. Just read Genesis 1 and you will see. My Words become things and My Word became flesh and bled and died for you. I send My Word to heal you and deliver you from destruction. Why won’t you receive it and return it, release it, by speaking it.
Joy is evidence of faith. Fruit is My Will, good, pleasing and perfect. I blessed man to be fruitful from the start, to rule and replenish the earth. Faith in the desired outcome gives the victory. The victory that overcomes the world is your faith. You rejoice when you win and faith in My Word always wins because My Word is established in Heaven forever.
Faith makes you rejoice always (you always know you have a favorable outcome no matter the enormity of the problem before you), pray without ceasing (when you have faith you are heard because you are praying My Word you will pray about everything) (when you pray My Words you pray My Will so you know I hear and grant your prayer, 1 John 5:14—15), and give constant thanks (you know that what you have asked for is yours)! If you have faith you are fully persuaded you have the promise already, even before you see it in the flesh for you already see it in the spirit with the eyes of your heart.
Faith is not just hoping I will do your request, it is know that I already did it for you. You have only to receive it. Do you want to know if you are forgiven? Just look at the Cross. Receive your forgiveness. Remember when the blind would ask Jesus for sight what He said? “Receive your sight.” And it was according to their faith whether they received it or not.
Faith produces works. Fruit. The testimony of your faith is the fruit of your lips, that is, your words and your works. Without faith there is no vision and with no vision you perish. Faith is what conducts the life of the Vine (grace) into you to produce the fruit of good works and mighty miracles. Faith is the connector and conductor of all My promises into your life and produces an overflow of good fruit (a bumper crop) for all. Feed the many with your faith. Jesus told the disciples, “You give them something to eat.” But they thought they had nothing. But Peter and John learned later what He meant. When they gazed upon the beggar at the Beautiful Gate of Temple laying there lame from birth they told him that what they had they would give him. They had faith in the Name of Jesus and they gave that to the crippled man. And he received it and jumped to his feet as they grabbed his hand. My glorious resurrected Son had told Peter, “Feed My sheep.” John 21:15-17.
Jesus Christ. The Messiah, the Anointed. And you are anointed in Him too. And remember what I anointed Him with? I tell you: the oil of joy. And He shared His Words with you so you would share His joy and your joy would be complete. But what were His Words? He told you: “I did not speak on My own initiative but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment what to say and what to speak. I know His commandment is Eternal life therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:49-50.
Do you want joy? Complete joy in your heart that no one can take away? Then let Me show you how to talk. I have joy. Constant unshakeable unchanging joy. And so can you.
Jesus said I had given Him a commandment what to say and what to speak. And I have to you also, so let Me show you, just in case you have not paid attention.
Do not speak from your own initiative. You must be careful about this. You may want to answer someone in a very nasty manner at the heat of the moment or tell a fault of another that you have no business sharing. Instead be careful with your words, they are like arrows and you do not want to miss the desired mark, and they are like containers that will release whatever you fill them with, whether it be good or evil. Death and life are in the power of your tongue. Speak life, eternal words of life. And you know where you get those. From Me, the source of life and life itself.
My Words are spirit and life and contain eternal life, health, peace and prosperity, why would you want to use any other words?
So what do I tell you to say? Let us start in the fourth chapter of the Letter to the Ephesians: “Let no rotten, unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:29-32. Do not let your mouth loose to say words that hurt and shame you or others. Only say those words that are good for edification according to the need of the moment. Speak the truth in love. You may have to admonish another but do it as seasoned with salt, do not incur sin because of their sin. Do not take revenge. That is Mine for I know what is just for I read the motives of the heart, you cannot. No bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander, malice. Be kind even if you are not taking a popular position, for today virtue and purity are not popular. But your words should be just that, filled with virtue and purity of a heart cleansed of the filth of the world by the washing of the water of My Word and the cleansing power of My Son’s blood.
Put on the new self, which in My likeness has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth as a new creation in Christ. Lay aside falsehood and speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for you who are believers are members of one another. Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. Ephesians 4:24-26. A gentle answer calms wrath.
Immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. Ephesians 5:3-4. Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of Light above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life. Philippians 2:14-16. Put aside anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created you. Colossians 3:8-10.
So how do you talk? Decree a thing that I have promised—healing, provision, prosperity, victory, forgiveness, beauty, joy! Declare LIGHT in the dark and awake the dawn with your song. Speak of the Kingdom, speak of abundant harvest, speak of success, speak of My love. Cast out demons in Jesus’ Name and, like Peter and John, give what you have to others so they too are healed, forgiven, loved and filled with resurrection power!
So, as those who have been chosen in the Beloved, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience that I have given you, for in Jesus, I have given you My heart; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as I forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ, the Anointed, the oil of joy, rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. If you start speaking gratitude you will find joy will come. Let My anointed Word richly dwell within you, Jesus shared My Words with you so that you would share His joy and your joy would be full! With all wisdom, teach and admonish one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts unto Me as your loving Father and giver of all good things to you who ask in Jesus’ Name. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to Me, your forever Father. Colossians 3:15-17.
You will be held accountable for every idle word you speak. Why? Every word you speak makes something in your life and the lives of those I have entrusted to your care and what your words contain is up to you. Death and life are in the power of YOUR tongue, by your words you are acquitted and by your words you are condemned. Acquit don’t condemn. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Redeem your time. Speak results that you want to see, not what you do not want to see. Do not make dire predictions of disaster, sickness, epidemics, hurricanes, and other evil forces. Rebuke them in the Name of My Son, cast them out and bind them. And then release My awesome, magnificent promises, which I have given you freely in Christ, for all My promises are “yes” to you in Him, and go for the gold! What is good, pleasing and perfect. Go for the fruit of the Spirit. There is no law against that fruit!
For a child is born to you, a Son is given to you, and on His shoulder dominion rests. And His Name is wonderful, counselor, God hero, Father forever, and prince of peace. And He taught you how to talk. He did not speak on His own initiative, but only the Words I gave Him for He knew they contained eternal life. He knew those eternal Words gave grace to the hearer. Grace. My Divine life flowing into you to make you just like Me. Love. Light. Wisdom. Righteous. Complete. And clothed in majesty and splendor.
I love you so I have put My Words in your mouth and covered you with My Hand so as to establish your world in beauty and awesome wonders. Why sit in the darkness when you have the Light? Open your mouth and rebuke the darkness and release the Light. You can. It is up to you from what initiative you will speak.
Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. Ephesians 5:14-21.
