Don't Make Doctrine Out of Opinion!

Don't make doctrine out of opinion! Men of God, do we release the power of our speech in our everyday lives?   "In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.  People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! " (James 3:5-10 NLT) Do we release men of God the correalation between speech and lust and how this combination can truly set us up for disaster if we're not careful?   God grants us the ability to "speak decrees" or literally speak things into existence, law.  If we as men do not tame any foothold that we have left for Satan to devour, it will devour us! "Don't let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, "God is trying to trip me up." God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one's way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood, and becomes a real killer." (James 1:13 MSG) So moving forward, men of God, let's realize the attack that Satan is planning for all of us. If we allow lust, in all forms, to remain in our hearts, Satan will us it against us.  The most common way is through our speech, and the things we say to others and ourselves.  So let's be aware of our words and the power of them!  God bless.
