It's funny how just last night I was talking to a co worker about my mouth and how I used to throw the f bombs around and I was positive I had Tourettes.

It's funny also how I spoke to another co worker earlier last night about 'what you speak will come to fruition'.
So this morning I go and look up an 'oldie', a post from way back when.
Dated the beginning of October.

Not even one comment was left!!

(The servant of the God says) The Lord has given Me the tongue of a disciple and of one who is taught, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple (as one who is taught). Isaiah 50:4
This was my devotional reading from last night when I went to bed. God showed me through His Word that we have the power to bless people with our words.
The power of life and death is in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). We also have the power to curse people with our words.
I've started a Bible Study with the ladies that meet at my house on Monday nights that is about fasting from foreboding thoughts (assumptions and premonitions of evil tidings).
This Bible Study was brought to me at my internet Ministry, The Blessings of Free Spirit Haven (msn group) awhile back and I thought it would be perfect to share with the ladies that come to my home.
Thoughts meditated upon long enough become actions. Either positive or negative. There really is no getting around to that fact!~
Being from an Italian background, worry just seemed to go hand in hand with that. My father used to say, 'when I worry it shows you that I love you'. I have learned that it doesn't. Worry can steal your joy, your trust, your hopes, your faith.
For so many years my mouth was filled with curses. Cursing when I didn't get my way, cursing whem my husband or children were frustrating me. Cursing when I had problems in my life. My goodness, I sure did alot of cursing.
Sigh.
Praise God,,praise and glory to God Almighty that He didn't leave me in that state of mess. Praise God He also makes everything beautiful in His time. Praise God that my words have become filled with the fruit of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Praise God for His forgiveness and for healing upon my family, relationships, circumstances brought on from all those curses that I spoke out loud.
I share with the ladies in the bible study, "your tongue has the power of life and death, what are you speaking?'.
What are we speaking into our daily lives? What words are we speaking on our family's lives? Do we murmur and complain? Do we become easily frustrated, bitter, angry, disappointed? Does depression set in quickly?
He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a dsiciple (as one who is taught).
I cannot count the tears (God can though) of hurt, pain, depression, and anger that I had about myself for the failings I caused because of my mouth. I can't count the prayers that were sent up (God can) asking God to change me, not leave me this way, set me free, save me from myself.
During dark times I've even prayed for Him to just take me, for I truly believed I was destroying everyone around me because of my own behavior.
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, "Here I am". Isaiah 58:9
I did call, and kept calling and calling..The Lord God did answer. I cried and cried, and God said "Here I am".
I encourage anyone that is reading this today that is having such a difficult time in their life right now. Feelings of despair, hopelessness, rejection, fear, anxiety, depression.
Keep calling out to God. DON'T stop. Keep crying out to God. DON'T stop. Don't give in. Don't miss out on the blessings that God has in store for you.
I have a saying,,'the bigger the attack, the bigger the blessings. Don't become offended and miss the blessings that God has in store for you.
Don't get caught up in the attack, but look for the blessings that are just around the corner'.
I've been in the pit of hell, I've seen Satan face to face. I used to be his.
Praise and glory to God Almighty. I am a child of a King. Not only a king,,but the King of kings and the Lord of lords..Jesus Christ came and lifted me up, picked me up from that pit of hell and drew me to Himself.
No matter if there is a thousand at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, they will not come near me, for I have made the Lord God, my God!~
No matter what trial your facing, no matter how big the mountain is for you , no matter how deep that hole is that your in,,GOD IS BIGGER. You and God are the majority.
amen amen amen

You truly bless me.
It's hard to believe no comments were left before. Everyone must have been in awe of these words. Thanks for being such an encouragement to all of us.
He brought me out of the miry clay..he set my feet on the rock to stay...he put a song in my soul today...a song of praise... Hallelujah. That's an old hymn I love to sing.
Thanks for a very encouraging post...Blessings
i felt this post was just for me,i have so many problems going on at the moment, and i am blaming myself for all of them. your words have gave me great comfort. thank you so much
Angie,my mouth has gotten me into so much trouble through my life., You would think by now I would learn. But I continue to fall short. I think my mouth holds me back from getting all of Gods blessing he has in store for me. Pray for me to be able to keep my pie hole shut.

joy, trust , love , faith...so true...Tx
I loved your words of encouragement this morning. Which is a lesson in itself. :) Words are so important. Speaking encouragment to others!!
Love you!
And look how many commented now! :)
What a wonderful reminder to be careful with all the things we release from our mouths. I see and hear it especially at my workplace. How cursing demeans the incarcerated ones all the more. Thank you for reminding us not to stop praying and asking and believing...He has the best reasons...God bless.
love this post, angie. you said it! our tongue is the hardest to tame. or can it be tamed? this is a great reminder.
In response to Pia's comment... It's almost a comfort to know that "the tongue can no man tame" ~James, because we all mess up. I'm so glad the best of us isn't perfect, and will never be perfect in what they say. Not to say don't try to be perfect, but we'll never really be there.
