REJECTING THE NATIVE TONGUE

More damage has been done to humanity by words than by the sword. It is no wonder the Bible tells us: "The tongue has the power of life and death!"

When we embrace God's things, we become conscious of our speech and God's speech!

The language of God transforms darkness and chaos into something meaningful, beautiful and valuable, but human speech has been destroying all of God's transforming goodness into chaos and pain. Like sharp arrows of a warrior or a burning of a forest, it has led to more wars and social damage than any other nuclear weapon available to man.

Man's tongue has embraced great boasting, the venom of hate and lying. Many see this as human frailty, or the necessity to survive in a 'dog eats dog' world. Sadly, this speech has led us far away from God's heart: if we are ever to achieve the full potential of who God has made us be, we need to restore our speech, to speak life and not death into the heartbeat of this world.

We have been damaged and have damaged others by our words. It is time to tell the tongue to stop speaking the native language of the Devil and embrace the creative, healing and restoring words of our Father in heaven.
