"The Power of Words" Rescue Radio with Marjorie Cole

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.320
Music.

00:00:25.106 --> 00:00:28.346
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul.

00:00:28.646 --> 00:00:33.186
Yes, Lord God, we are in the war that you have already won.

00:00:33.546 --> 00:00:36.726
So cause us, Lord God, to rest in the fullness of your victory.

00:00:37.266 --> 00:00:40.266
Stand in having done all to withstand in the evil day, Lord God.

00:00:40.626 --> 00:00:45.286
Your kingdom come, Lord. We long for your kingdom. We long for your righteousness.

00:00:45.306 --> 00:00:46.426
We long for your justice.

00:00:46.886 --> 00:00:51.906
We long for your peace. And we thank you, Lord God, that your peace is in the midst of us, Lord God.

00:00:52.166 --> 00:00:58.066
I thank you, Father God, that Jesus Christ, you broke through the barricades

00:00:58.066 --> 00:01:03.026
that had entrapped us, Lord, and you set us free through your death on the cross.

00:01:03.226 --> 00:01:05.286
Believe that or not. Amazing.

00:01:05.986 --> 00:01:09.226
And then you rose from the dead and delivered us completely from the grip of

00:01:09.226 --> 00:01:11.146
the terrible one, the death and destruction.

00:01:11.746 --> 00:01:14.206
And many people, Lord, I know that they don't even know that.

00:01:14.306 --> 00:01:16.766
They don't get that at all. They don't get the power. They don't get the authority.

00:01:16.886 --> 00:01:17.586
They don't get the purpose.

00:01:18.226 --> 00:01:21.266
They don't get the idea of this, thy kingdom come, but we do.

00:01:21.426 --> 00:01:25.786
And we ask you to give us wisdom, Lord God, as we share this time together.

00:01:26.246 --> 00:01:28.846
We thank you, Lord God, that there are many people out there who are looking

00:01:28.846 --> 00:01:29.926
for wisdom and direction.

00:01:30.286 --> 00:01:33.426
And we thank you that you've given us your Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth.

00:01:33.746 --> 00:01:37.526
We bind the powers of darkness, the snatcher, the ones that would scatter,

00:01:37.666 --> 00:01:43.186
the ones that would corrupt our conversations, the one that would torment us in our minds and hearts.

00:01:43.766 --> 00:01:48.806
We bind and forbid him, Lord God, and we release the truth, the love, the peace of God.

00:01:49.086 --> 00:01:53.306
We thank you, Lord God, that no weapon formed against us will prosper, no witchcraft, no.

00:01:55.426 --> 00:01:59.286
Spells, charms, incantations sent against us or our families,

00:01:59.286 --> 00:02:03.726
those who work for us, pray for us, or love us, would be effective to destroy,

00:02:03.886 --> 00:02:06.286
divide, or ruin us, Father God.

00:02:06.386 --> 00:02:10.466
We thank you that all these things that you have permitted in our lives are

00:02:10.466 --> 00:02:14.766
actually working together for your purpose to perfect that which concerns us.

00:02:14.886 --> 00:02:17.966
So, Father God, guide and protect our words and comfort us.

00:02:18.186 --> 00:02:24.046
Oh, give us eyes to hear, eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to understand what you're saying.

00:02:24.146 --> 00:02:26.846
Just give us your wisdom, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:02:27.486 --> 00:02:32.646
You know, welcome to Rescue Radio. You know, there's a thing that people take

00:02:32.646 --> 00:02:33.946
for granted, and that's words.

00:02:34.566 --> 00:02:37.626
There's words every day. We speak words, many words.

00:02:37.806 --> 00:02:41.586
We can comfort people with words. We can tear people down with words.

00:02:41.726 --> 00:02:43.886
We can, you know, build things.

00:02:44.106 --> 00:02:47.526
There's death and life in the power of the tongue. Yeah, that's something that

00:02:47.526 --> 00:02:48.686
we don't think of very often.

00:02:48.886 --> 00:02:52.726
We get so careless with our words, you know, and someone said,

00:02:52.846 --> 00:02:56.846
you know, it's better to have people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.

00:02:57.686 --> 00:03:02.346
And someone said there's nothing more often by mistake than the mouth.

00:03:02.766 --> 00:03:05.826
So God gave us two ears, two eyes, and one mouth.

00:03:06.586 --> 00:03:09.926
I'm glad he didn't do it the other way. Well, Jesus was addressing this,

00:03:09.966 --> 00:03:12.126
and he addressed this situation often.

00:03:12.866 --> 00:03:17.906
Like, for example, in Matthew 15, we can maybe start there for a minute. He's talking about.

00:03:18.935 --> 00:03:24.815
Hypocrites in verse 7, 15-7. Hypocrites, well does Isaiah prophesy about you,

00:03:24.935 --> 00:03:28.815
saying, these people draw near to me with their mouths.

00:03:29.155 --> 00:03:32.375
They honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me,

00:03:32.475 --> 00:03:36.775
and in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

00:03:37.175 --> 00:03:40.455
Then he called the multitude and said to them, hear and understand,

00:03:41.235 --> 00:03:46.135
not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.

00:03:46.835 --> 00:03:52.095
Then his disciples said to him, Do you know what the Pharisees were offended

00:03:52.095 --> 00:03:53.535
when they heard these sayings?

00:03:53.735 --> 00:03:57.255
But he answered and said to them, I think this is an interesting answer,

00:03:57.835 --> 00:04:01.995
Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprutted.

00:04:02.395 --> 00:04:07.135
Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the

00:04:07.135 --> 00:04:09.175
blind, both will fall into the ditch.

00:04:09.635 --> 00:04:13.795
So what we're seeing here is that there is a real tendency for people to make judgments.

00:04:14.655 --> 00:04:21.075
Speak, you know, dishonoring, you know, hypocritically, pretending to be supporters

00:04:21.075 --> 00:04:26.055
or comforters or givers of, you know, whatever word of advice.

00:04:26.275 --> 00:04:29.895
And yet underneath there's another agenda.

00:04:30.395 --> 00:04:37.815
And so words can be very, actually by, you know, by every idle word we're given

00:04:37.815 --> 00:04:39.335
account of in the day of judgment.

00:04:39.535 --> 00:04:46.415
So words are powerful. Well, in the area of hypocrisy, Jesus said,

00:04:46.455 --> 00:04:47.815
many shall say, Lord, Lord.

00:04:48.555 --> 00:04:52.115
And have we not done this and that? And he said, I never knew you.

00:04:52.155 --> 00:04:59.915
So just an empty profession of allegiance to God. There's a lot of that.

00:05:00.155 --> 00:05:04.475
Well, that was his constant conversation with the Pharisees again in Mark 7.

00:05:04.475 --> 00:05:08.335
He says, this people draws near to me with their lips, but their heart is far

00:05:08.335 --> 00:05:11.355
from me. And in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments

00:05:11.355 --> 00:05:14.115
of men. He's saying the same thing again.

00:05:14.815 --> 00:05:20.935
It seems like people just don't get it. They're all busy talking, and there's no fruit.

00:05:21.275 --> 00:05:23.535
You know, the Bible, James says, I think it was James, he says.

00:05:24.515 --> 00:05:28.755
Faith without works is dead. So you can talk all day long about things.

00:05:28.975 --> 00:05:33.095
You can discuss things. You can have opinions about things all day long.

00:05:33.155 --> 00:05:37.875
But if you don't really have in your heart the truth, it becomes a problem.

00:05:38.675 --> 00:05:43.975
Yeah, I mean, in this day in which we're living, we have so many talk shows,

00:05:44.275 --> 00:05:48.335
we have internet programs, talk, discussion, opinion, blah, blah,

00:05:48.455 --> 00:05:49.855
blah, it comes out. It brings nothing.

00:05:50.055 --> 00:05:53.095
It doesn't bring any force of life. But the thing is, we don't really consider,

00:05:53.435 --> 00:05:55.775
really, the power of words.

00:05:55.915 --> 00:05:58.895
And in Proverbs, you see a lot of scriptures there about,

00:05:59.832 --> 00:06:04.052
Just weighing your words, make sure you're speaking aright.

00:06:04.252 --> 00:06:08.192
And in order to speak aright, your heart has to be aright.

00:06:08.512 --> 00:06:12.572
But Jesus said, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Yes, he did.

00:06:12.832 --> 00:06:21.432
So the thing is, what happens when the words you say are expressing what's in your heart, you know?

00:06:22.012 --> 00:06:25.632
Exactly. And people don't realize that. You know, if people would wonder what's

00:06:25.632 --> 00:06:30.612
going on inside of them, if they just listen to their own mouth, they'll know.

00:06:30.892 --> 00:06:36.392
He said again in Mark chapter 7, verse 21, For from within, out of the heart

00:06:36.392 --> 00:06:40.692
of men, proceeds the evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication,

00:06:40.852 --> 00:06:44.212
murder, theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit.

00:06:44.992 --> 00:06:48.352
Assentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

00:06:48.572 --> 00:06:51.852
All of these evil things come from within and defile a man.

00:06:51.912 --> 00:06:56.052
So he's talking about exactly what you're saying, that what the heart is full

00:06:56.052 --> 00:07:01.032
of, the mouth speaks and if the heart is full of vile hypocrisies,

00:07:01.532 --> 00:07:03.832
contempt, injustices, bitterness.

00:07:04.112 --> 00:07:08.172
I think that's a big one. I think there's a lot of people have hidden bitterness

00:07:08.172 --> 00:07:14.212
and unresolved issues, unforgiveness in their hearts or fear. Fear is a big one too.

00:07:14.692 --> 00:07:18.332
And so that comes out and that comes out in our words.

00:07:18.392 --> 00:07:21.932
And so when we have a conversation with someone, if your conversation,

00:07:21.932 --> 00:07:26.572
your words are being mixed with bitterness or fear or irritation or judgment

00:07:26.572 --> 00:07:33.372
or, you know, disappointment or whatever it is, the words are going to be dressed in those emotions.

00:07:33.692 --> 00:07:38.132
And so it's going to be hard for the person to receive any kind of counsel or

00:07:38.132 --> 00:07:44.332
correction or encouragement if your words are closed in bitterness or disappointment.

00:07:44.592 --> 00:07:49.712
And if you look at Jesus, I mean, every word he spoke was in obedience to the

00:07:49.712 --> 00:07:51.452
Father. He did not waste words.

00:07:51.912 --> 00:07:57.492
He spoke, and they were astonished. They came to arrest him one time.

00:07:57.492 --> 00:08:02.032
He was teaching, and they sent officers to come and arrest him.

00:08:02.452 --> 00:08:07.132
And the religious leaders wanted him arrested and put away.

00:08:07.432 --> 00:08:12.532
And the guys, they came back, and they said, oh, how come you didn't bring him?

00:08:13.652 --> 00:08:19.112
And he said, well, never a man spoke like this man. His words were so powerful.

00:08:19.292 --> 00:08:27.572
It's interesting here, Marjorie, if you look at Isaiah chapter 50 and verses 10,

00:08:28.190 --> 00:08:31.810
Four and five, the Lord God, and this is referring to Jesus,

00:08:32.530 --> 00:08:34.750
but we can apply it to us too.

00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:40.410
The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned that I should know how to

00:08:40.410 --> 00:08:43.570
speak a word in season to him who is weary.

00:08:44.150 --> 00:08:48.410
He awakens me morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as the learned.

00:08:48.650 --> 00:08:53.910
The Lord God has opened my ear and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away.

00:08:54.690 --> 00:08:59.310
So the Lord has given us, you know, we're to be speaking words of life.

00:08:59.510 --> 00:09:06.130
We're to be speaking the words of the Lord, not necessarily quoting Scripture.

00:09:06.630 --> 00:09:13.290
Those are the words of the Lord, but he can give us a word of wisdom, word of knowledge.

00:09:13.810 --> 00:09:18.570
That's in 1 Corinthians 12, it talks about word of wisdom, word of knowledge,

00:09:18.570 --> 00:09:24.410
something that we speak that brings forth wisdom, exactly what to do,

00:09:24.550 --> 00:09:28.630
how to do it, how to use the information, what's the best course of action.

00:09:28.790 --> 00:09:33.950
We can speak that to ourselves, really, and to others as well.

00:09:34.230 --> 00:09:40.510
Word of knowledge, something that we know that has been revealed to us by God,

00:09:40.590 --> 00:09:45.950
not by our own experience, but a word of knowledge that's been downloaded to

00:09:45.950 --> 00:09:50.150
us by the Holy Spirit to speak wisdom to people.

00:09:50.290 --> 00:09:56.770
Sometimes a word of knowledge for someone, you come to someone and you say to

00:09:56.770 --> 00:10:02.050
them, well, you know there's a situation in their life that you don't know anything about it.

00:10:02.530 --> 00:10:05.350
And they think, oh, you're a psychic. No, you're not a psychic.

00:10:05.370 --> 00:10:10.410
You're just speaking what God already knows. And the Lord downloaded that to

00:10:10.410 --> 00:10:16.750
you to speak to them so they have an assurance that God knows what they're going through.

00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:21.610
Well, you know, again, going back to the heart, if the heart is full of the

00:10:21.610 --> 00:10:25.850
corrupt things that we've already spoken of, the deceit, the treachery,

00:10:26.030 --> 00:10:29.250
evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murderous thefts, all those things,

00:10:29.770 --> 00:10:31.470
if the heart is full of that,

00:10:32.090 --> 00:10:35.230
then that's going to be, like I said, it's going to be coming out with your

00:10:35.230 --> 00:10:38.830
word, so it's going to bring a mixed message. Mixed message, exactly.

00:10:39.010 --> 00:10:43.590
And in 1 Peter 4, he says, in regard to these. Let's see.

00:10:44.050 --> 00:10:49.890
Let's back up here a little bit. He was talking about in chapter 4 that we should

00:10:49.890 --> 00:10:53.250
no longer live like the rest of the world,

00:10:53.290 --> 00:10:58.610
for we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles,

00:10:58.630 --> 00:11:02.270
when we walked in licentiousness, lust, drunkenness, revelries,

00:11:02.870 --> 00:11:06.950
drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

00:11:07.570 --> 00:11:10.990
In regard to those who think it's Strange that you do not run with them again

00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:14.130
to the same dissipation, speaking evil of you.

00:11:14.867 --> 00:11:18.807
And they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

00:11:19.407 --> 00:11:24.187
But, so he's in such worth some of you. So this means there's a process going

00:11:24.187 --> 00:11:27.627
on of our hearts being renewed, transformed, cleansed.

00:11:27.867 --> 00:11:30.487
And that comes through walking in the spirit.

00:11:30.887 --> 00:11:34.027
Because the heart is part of the flesh. It's part of the soul, actually.

00:11:34.267 --> 00:11:38.387
And the soul and the body together make the flesh. So be transformed by the

00:11:38.387 --> 00:11:42.467
renewing of your mind and your heart, Jeremiah says, is deceitful above all

00:11:42.467 --> 00:11:43.547
else and desperately wicked.

00:11:44.087 --> 00:11:47.347
And Jesus is reminding us that the heart needs to be cleansed.

00:11:47.427 --> 00:11:51.907
The heart needs to be refreshed with joy and peace and truth so that out of

00:11:51.907 --> 00:11:54.407
the heart will come righteousness, peace, and joy.

00:11:54.667 --> 00:11:56.987
And so Peter is saying, yeah, you were that.

00:11:57.247 --> 00:12:01.907
You believed in that for a while, but let's move on. You've been delivered from that.

00:12:02.487 --> 00:12:06.607
And Paul, he talks about it too. He says, who will deliver me from this body

00:12:06.607 --> 00:12:10.727
of death, from these programs that are running in my heart, this bitterness.

00:12:10.727 --> 00:12:16.507
I think bitterness, unforgiveness, and fear are the big three that actually run in our hearts.

00:12:16.767 --> 00:12:24.027
And they cause our words again to be addressed, clothed with negativity,

00:12:24.607 --> 00:12:28.787
with criticism, with the unloving spirit.

00:12:28.947 --> 00:12:32.127
So that, you know, because words are what connect us in relationships, really.

00:12:32.547 --> 00:12:38.487
It's really the words you speak to someone, Bill, is what your relationship is built from.

00:12:39.287 --> 00:12:43.527
Yes, there's actions too, and I believe they're important, but really the words

00:12:43.527 --> 00:12:47.767
become the principal connectors in our relationships.

00:12:48.067 --> 00:12:53.627
And if those words are negative or sour or critical, and again,

00:12:53.827 --> 00:12:58.047
going back to death and life and the power of the tongue, you can kill someone with your words.

00:12:58.127 --> 00:13:02.127
You can destroy your marriage with probably seven words a day if you say them in the wrong way.

00:13:03.533 --> 00:13:08.733
In the wrong spirit. So the body of death, which is downloaded into the soul,

00:13:08.953 --> 00:13:11.533
downloaded into the brain, downloaded into the mind,

00:13:12.053 --> 00:13:19.993
that becomes the way, the enemy wants to use that source of promoting his division, his destruction.

00:13:20.333 --> 00:13:24.453
Well, think of it in your own life, you know, somebody that said something to

00:13:24.453 --> 00:13:29.473
you when you were a child or a teenager, something that stuck with you.

00:13:29.653 --> 00:13:32.753
It could be very negative, it could be very positive.

00:13:34.153 --> 00:13:40.313
These are powerful words. You know, sometimes people try to live down,

00:13:40.453 --> 00:13:41.633
you know. Yeah, the words.

00:13:41.853 --> 00:13:45.293
Or live up, live down the words. They say, well, you're never going to make it.

00:13:45.413 --> 00:13:49.813
So people try really, really hard to be successful in their business or their

00:13:49.813 --> 00:13:51.233
career or something like that.

00:13:51.513 --> 00:13:55.173
To prove somebody else wrong. To prove somebody else wrong. Or at a critical

00:13:55.173 --> 00:13:59.353
time, and I believe it's Proverbs.

00:13:59.473 --> 00:14:04.113
I don't remember exactly where it is, but it says, as a word spoken in due season, how good it is.

00:14:04.513 --> 00:14:10.533
But think of it this way, that the Lord has given us powerful words.

00:14:10.693 --> 00:14:14.773
We might not think that, oh, we got a big powerful word for somebody here.

00:14:14.973 --> 00:14:19.213
And sometimes people go around in the body of Christ, they always have a word

00:14:19.213 --> 00:14:21.993
for somebody, and a lot of times it's really off the wall.

00:14:22.213 --> 00:14:24.293
But what happens is that.

00:14:26.593 --> 00:14:29.993
As our hearts are filled with the word of God,

00:14:31.323 --> 00:14:36.163
As our hearts are full of his love and his grace and his spirit,

00:14:36.423 --> 00:14:43.263
we can speak words to people that will really make a difference at key points in their lives.

00:14:43.463 --> 00:14:49.463
And not just empty words, but real words of truth and grace.

00:14:50.043 --> 00:14:57.223
Let your speech be always with grace, the Bible says, seasoned with salt.

00:14:57.883 --> 00:15:03.783
So we're speaking words of truth, and we do it graciously, even though there's

00:15:03.783 --> 00:15:05.743
times where it can be harsh.

00:15:06.123 --> 00:15:10.903
And that's the problem, too, because there are times when we have to speak words

00:15:10.903 --> 00:15:16.263
of correction or words of direction, and maybe the other person is not excited

00:15:16.263 --> 00:15:18.643
about hearing that or doesn't want to receive that.

00:15:19.023 --> 00:15:23.823
And so Jesus had to use words like that. He called people hypocrites and vipers

00:15:23.823 --> 00:15:27.543
and things because they were really, really not preaching the truth.

00:15:27.643 --> 00:15:32.783
And he was kind of like, okay, I can't, you know, just be nice to you with this. It's just not okay.

00:15:33.083 --> 00:15:35.623
We're going to have to call this for what it is. And the problem,

00:15:35.763 --> 00:15:39.323
there's, with words, conversations, there's many times, you know,

00:15:39.423 --> 00:15:42.003
sometimes we're encouraging people. Sometimes we're encouraging ourselves.

00:15:42.223 --> 00:15:45.643
Sometimes we're blessing the day, praying for things to turn out.

00:15:45.643 --> 00:15:52.723
But at other times we need to draw some lines and some correction and give some direction.

00:15:52.883 --> 00:15:55.203
And maybe, like I said, the people don't like to hear that.

00:15:55.423 --> 00:15:59.843
So when we're doing that, we need to have the wisdom to know that we're not

00:15:59.843 --> 00:16:03.443
speaking to them out of bitterness ourselves. We're not speaking to them out

00:16:03.443 --> 00:16:07.903
of irritation or fear, but we're speaking to them as the oracles of God,

00:16:08.023 --> 00:16:10.083
because otherwise, and they're going to take it.

00:16:11.041 --> 00:16:14.501
You know, probably personally or offended, I think easily offended.

00:16:14.621 --> 00:16:16.601
Offense is a big thing that comes out of words.

00:16:16.961 --> 00:16:19.701
A lot of times words that are spoken, words that are not spoken.

00:16:20.121 --> 00:16:22.581
Sometimes people are mad at you for what you said. Sometimes they're mad at

00:16:22.581 --> 00:16:23.461
you for what you didn't say.

00:16:23.841 --> 00:16:27.841
People just kind of get mad a lot. And the thing is that when we,

00:16:27.841 --> 00:16:32.341
we have to also recognize that if you, even if you're speaking your words out of a good heart,

00:16:32.941 --> 00:16:36.461
out of, you know, even the counsel of God, sometimes we'll speak words to someone

00:16:36.461 --> 00:16:39.401
else and the Lord has put those words in and the other person does not want

00:16:39.401 --> 00:16:45.881
to hear them and they become offended, we have to also recognize that the danger of conversation.

00:16:46.701 --> 00:16:50.221
The danger of speaking words is that the other people also hear those words

00:16:50.221 --> 00:16:56.081
and see those actions through the lenses that they have already set up in front of their filters,

00:16:56.341 --> 00:17:01.521
the lenses that they've already put up in front of their receptor sites,

00:17:01.621 --> 00:17:03.081
or whether it's their eyes or their ears.

00:17:03.741 --> 00:17:07.621
And so those lenses are filled with bitterness, judgment, hurt,

00:17:07.841 --> 00:17:12.381
pain, distrust, trauma, all kinds of things can be in those lenses.

00:17:12.641 --> 00:17:16.441
And so when you're hearing someone else, you're not really many times,

00:17:16.561 --> 00:17:22.721
most of the time, probably 99% of the time, we're not hearing them through the love of God.

00:17:23.021 --> 00:17:27.321
And our hearts are not hearing their heart, their pain in their heart or their fear in their heart.

00:17:27.641 --> 00:17:31.581
We're hearing it through our judgment of them.

00:17:32.181 --> 00:17:37.081
And this is, I mean, I think people don't really recognize how much we judge

00:17:37.081 --> 00:17:40.601
one another by how we render their words.

00:17:41.021 --> 00:17:44.401
You know, we don't give them the freedom to, you know, okay, I get it.

00:17:44.961 --> 00:17:47.901
You're having a bad day. I can't, you know, you got a toothache.

00:17:48.361 --> 00:17:54.301
We're not doing that. We're just judging them by how we interpret what they're

00:17:54.301 --> 00:17:57.461
saying without asking God to show us. And therefore, then we react.

00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.140
Out of offense. So that's exactly, I mean, words are probably one of the most

00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:07.780
dangerous things, and yet most often spoken, used, I mean, that we have in our world.

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:13.080
And so people, if people don't understand your words, maybe you said them clearly,

00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:17.180
you're communicating clearly, but they don't interpret it as clear understanding

00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:20.760
or love, they interpret it as danger, like you're judging them.

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.840
And so they don't know you're loving them and speaking a word of correction

00:18:24.840 --> 00:18:26.920
to them. And so they get offended.

00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:34.900
And so what's important when we speak is what's the motivation by which we're speaking?

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:39.660
You know, are we correcting somebody because we care for them?

00:18:39.780 --> 00:18:41.080
Or because we think we're right.

00:18:41.420 --> 00:18:45.860
Or because we think, yeah, it's just our opinion of something.

00:18:46.120 --> 00:18:49.960
Or are we correcting someone because we genuinely care for them?

00:18:50.560 --> 00:18:54.320
Or are we just having a conversation? And that's kind of the problem,

00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:59.260
too. People aren't able to have just normal conversations because one is taking

00:18:59.260 --> 00:19:04.260
it personally or one is giving it unjustly or judging.

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:11.260
So, again, words are dangerous but critical to our relationships.

00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:18.140
Yeah, but so many words are just, you know, careless, carelessly idle words.

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:21.280
Jesus said every idle word, every empty word.

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:26.320
Was it Matthew 12? Yeah. Somewhere there, Matthew 12.

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:32.720
34. 34, 35. Every idle word, every empty word that we speak,

00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:38.300
meaningless word, just careless word, we're going to give account of it in the

00:19:38.300 --> 00:19:39.700
day of judgment. Exactly.

00:19:40.280 --> 00:19:44.300
But if someone knows, I really believe that,

00:19:45.214 --> 00:19:50.134
There's times I think what we have to do is that when we say we give a word

00:19:50.134 --> 00:19:53.414
of correction is because we want, we see some danger.

00:19:53.774 --> 00:19:57.194
We see danger that they don't see.

00:19:58.154 --> 00:20:01.554
And maybe there's danger we don't see too because sometimes we're giving a word

00:20:01.554 --> 00:20:03.454
of correction because we're afraid too.

00:20:03.634 --> 00:20:06.714
We want to correct. We want to control. We want to make sure it all goes our way.

00:20:06.854 --> 00:20:10.234
And a lot of that goes on too where people are trying to control one another

00:20:10.234 --> 00:20:12.374
through their own fear. your fear.

00:20:12.994 --> 00:20:18.494
And so we have to, so the best thing to, I mean, weigh your words, be careful.

00:20:18.814 --> 00:20:22.614
I don't say be afraid to speak, but speak as the oracles of God.

00:20:22.774 --> 00:20:27.194
Speak as, you know, coming out of what the Lord is leading you to do and say.

00:20:27.654 --> 00:20:32.314
In 2 Chronicles, we have chapter 10, interesting conversation,

00:20:32.574 --> 00:20:34.374
interesting admonition here.

00:20:35.354 --> 00:20:40.854
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not 2 Corinthians, I think you said Chronicles.

00:20:40.914 --> 00:20:42.714
Oh, did I? 2 Corinthians, sorry.

00:20:43.054 --> 00:20:45.494
Oh my goodness. It's Monday morning, what can I say?

00:20:46.274 --> 00:20:49.794
For though, idle words right there. For though we walk in the flesh,

00:20:50.014 --> 00:20:51.714
we do not war according to the flesh.

00:20:52.254 --> 00:20:55.934
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God to the pulling

00:20:55.934 --> 00:20:59.554
out of struggle. So the weapons, what are the weapons? That's what he's talking about.

00:21:00.014 --> 00:21:03.534
Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge

00:21:03.534 --> 00:21:07.394
of God, bringing every thought into captivity into the obedience of Christ.

00:21:08.014 --> 00:21:12.134
And being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. So in other words,

00:21:12.932 --> 00:21:18.772
Our words, our thoughts are the weapons. The thoughts create the words.

00:21:19.252 --> 00:21:21.912
The thoughts are there, then out of the thoughts come the words.

00:21:22.072 --> 00:21:25.412
So he's saying, cast down those arguments in your mind and every high thing

00:21:25.412 --> 00:21:29.852
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity.

00:21:30.012 --> 00:21:33.172
So sometimes those words begin in your mind, not in your mouth.

00:21:33.432 --> 00:21:38.852
And whatever the enemy is trying to mix up there and provoke and set up and

00:21:38.852 --> 00:21:43.032
stir up or whatever he's trying to do, We just don't test it.

00:21:43.132 --> 00:21:48.272
We don't check it out. We don't say, well, is this God or is this my flesh or

00:21:48.272 --> 00:21:50.812
is this God or is this the enemy talking through me?

00:21:50.852 --> 00:21:57.512
We just kind of blurt it out and then end up having to mop up all kinds of problems afterwards.

00:21:57.892 --> 00:22:01.412
But again, your words, there's death and life and the power of the time.

00:22:01.572 --> 00:22:06.672
We don't understand how powerful and how precious and how, yeah,

00:22:06.812 --> 00:22:09.112
I guess the word is powerful, words are.

00:22:09.112 --> 00:22:12.012
And then the perception, how they're perceived on the other end,

00:22:12.152 --> 00:22:17.092
I know we can't always make that happen, make that known.

00:22:17.112 --> 00:22:19.872
But I think one of the things we can do when you're speaking to someone,

00:22:20.232 --> 00:22:24.812
you can pray ahead of time that the Lord will remove the filters,

00:22:25.172 --> 00:22:30.292
the offenses, the injustices, the hurts, so that they can hear your love.

00:22:30.432 --> 00:22:34.832
Our point is to speak and communicate love to one another. And sometimes love

00:22:34.832 --> 00:22:36.612
is correction. Sometimes love is encouragement.

00:22:36.832 --> 00:22:39.252
Sometimes love is wisdom and direction.

00:22:39.552 --> 00:22:43.132
A lot of times we don't recognize the impact of our words.

00:22:43.472 --> 00:22:47.632
Sometimes people have told me over the years, you know, Pastor,

00:22:47.812 --> 00:22:49.932
I remember what you said.

00:22:50.112 --> 00:22:54.012
I remember when you said this back when, and I have no clue.

00:22:54.192 --> 00:22:56.332
I don't remember I ever said that.

00:22:56.672 --> 00:23:00.552
But it was something that stuck with them. It didn't stick with me,

00:23:00.652 --> 00:23:05.632
but it stuck with them for their whole life. And it's like, really?

00:23:06.152 --> 00:23:09.772
So we're sowing when we're speaking.

00:23:10.372 --> 00:23:11.732
We're planting seeds.

00:23:12.392 --> 00:23:15.932
We're planting seeds. And we want good fruit to come out of that.

00:23:16.192 --> 00:23:20.972
And we're known by our words, too. A child is known by their doings, their words.

00:23:21.112 --> 00:23:24.332
And Jesus, when he's talking here, as he's talking about every,

00:23:24.552 --> 00:23:30.092
he said to you in Matthew chapter 12 again, he's talking about anyone who speaks

00:23:30.092 --> 00:23:32.432
a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him.

00:23:32.432 --> 00:23:35.132
But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven,

00:23:35.252 --> 00:23:37.152
either in this age or in the age to come.

00:23:37.172 --> 00:23:39.652
We call that the unpardonable sin.

00:23:39.992 --> 00:23:43.992
But the reason that it's not going to be forgiven, he says, Therefore I say

00:23:43.992 --> 00:23:48.752
to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, men, but the blasphemy against

00:23:48.752 --> 00:23:50.292
the Spirit will not be forgiven, men.

00:23:50.412 --> 00:23:53.532
Well, the reason that it isn't forgiven is because it can't be forgiven,

00:23:53.532 --> 00:23:57.412
because if you don't take the recommendation and the counsel of the Holy Spirit to repent.

00:23:58.187 --> 00:24:01.927
And as for forgiveness, there is no forgiveness. That's a simple thing.

00:24:02.047 --> 00:24:05.747
And so, but he says, and then he goes on to say in 33, either make the tree

00:24:05.747 --> 00:24:08.607
good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad.

00:24:08.767 --> 00:24:12.167
For the tree is known by its fruit, and we are trees known by our fruit,

00:24:12.247 --> 00:24:14.547
and our fruit is our words, words and actions.

00:24:15.187 --> 00:24:19.307
And again, all of what we're, you know, God says, go preach the gospel,

00:24:19.447 --> 00:24:20.967
heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead.

00:24:21.287 --> 00:24:24.187
All that stuff that we're called to do comes out of our being,

00:24:24.647 --> 00:24:27.967
comes out of our own relationship with God.

00:24:28.187 --> 00:24:32.627
And our relationship with ourselves. So the first relationships we have are with ourself and God.

00:24:32.787 --> 00:24:37.027
And if we don't like ourself or we've been set up with our teeth on edge,

00:24:37.187 --> 00:24:42.907
like Ezekiel says, the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth

00:24:42.907 --> 00:24:46.007
are set on edge because the fathers have provoked them.

00:24:46.127 --> 00:24:49.927
The Bible says fathers do not provoke your children or discourage them.

00:24:50.307 --> 00:24:55.067
But so many people have that kind of a chip on their shoulder. They're bitter.

00:24:55.267 --> 00:24:59.927
They don't like themselves. and so because their fathers didn't like them or

00:24:59.927 --> 00:25:02.627
abandoned them or whatever, and there's so much of that out there.

00:25:02.907 --> 00:25:07.207
The only way you can rebuild the foundations is go back to the builder,

00:25:07.207 --> 00:25:12.307
and that would be the Lord God who's building us into a holy habitation,

00:25:12.487 --> 00:25:17.607
a dwelling place where living stones, he's building us back into a solid foundation.

00:25:17.967 --> 00:25:22.467
And so it's out of that relationship I have with God and with myself that's

00:25:22.467 --> 00:25:25.607
genuine. I can actually have a genuine relationship with someone else.

00:25:25.607 --> 00:25:31.527
Yeah, and it's important, too, that our lives give authority to our words.

00:25:31.927 --> 00:25:38.067
Yes. Our words, you know, the thing is confirming the word with signs following.

00:25:38.567 --> 00:25:43.227
So that was in Mark 16, speaking of the early church there.

00:25:43.407 --> 00:25:49.227
But what happens is that, you know, for you and I, if we just have empty words

00:25:49.227 --> 00:25:52.807
and our lives are not backing it up.

00:25:54.607 --> 00:25:59.747
Then basically Jesus said, these people draw near to me with their lips,

00:26:00.267 --> 00:26:02.587
but their hearts are far from me.

00:26:03.047 --> 00:26:07.267
So that your lip and your life need to agree. Yeah, that's good.

00:26:07.687 --> 00:26:11.427
That's good. Going back to Matthew for a minute in verse 12.

00:26:12.507 --> 00:26:18.327
Again, he says, make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad.

00:26:18.427 --> 00:26:21.747
For the tree is known by its fruit. That means what's coming out of our lives

00:26:21.747 --> 00:26:25.667
is what our lives are because out of the root comes the fruit.

00:26:25.867 --> 00:26:29.287
And so if it's full of a heart, full of adulteries and lusts and perversions

00:26:29.287 --> 00:26:32.547
and bitterness and unforgiveness and offense, then that's what's going to come

00:26:32.547 --> 00:26:35.167
out of our lips. That's going to come out of our lives.

00:26:36.969 --> 00:26:41.009
And Jesus said, I think one of the problems with Jesus and the hypocrisy that

00:26:41.009 --> 00:26:44.649
he found all around him was that their lips and their lives were not matching.

00:26:45.009 --> 00:26:49.709
Exactly. And the brood of vipers, he says, how can you, being evil, speak good things?

00:26:50.749 --> 00:26:53.649
For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. And I think this is

00:26:53.649 --> 00:26:55.709
very simple. It's a simple principle.

00:26:56.209 --> 00:26:59.709
Listen to your words. If out of your mouth is coming, you know,

00:26:59.909 --> 00:27:04.949
whatever it is, positive, negative, neutral, whatever it is, that is what is going on.

00:27:05.089 --> 00:27:07.189
It's coming out of your heart. and where is it coming from?

00:27:07.409 --> 00:27:11.109
It's coming from your perceptions. It's coming from your mind and then it slips

00:27:11.109 --> 00:27:14.389
down into your heart and now it becomes the filtering system through which my

00:27:14.389 --> 00:27:18.089
words are, they're spun around in there and they come out, you know,

00:27:18.229 --> 00:27:20.629
either offensive or delightful or whatever they do.

00:27:20.729 --> 00:27:24.449
But the heart is what the outpour, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

00:27:24.649 --> 00:27:27.829
He says again, for a good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth

00:27:27.829 --> 00:27:31.129
good things, but an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth

00:27:31.129 --> 00:27:32.289
negative or evil things.

00:27:32.669 --> 00:27:37.769
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account

00:27:37.769 --> 00:27:38.909
of it in the day of judgment.

00:27:39.269 --> 00:27:43.349
For by your words, you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned.

00:27:43.589 --> 00:27:46.709
And many times in the Old Testament, especially, they're praising God,

00:27:46.849 --> 00:27:48.189
thanking God, calling upon God.

00:27:48.289 --> 00:27:50.049
They're using their words to

00:27:50.049 --> 00:27:53.789
reconnect with God, even though their circumstances might not be the best.

00:27:54.129 --> 00:27:59.509
They're praising God, lifting up thanksgiving or rejoicing, using their words

00:27:59.509 --> 00:28:02.809
to stay connected with God, even in the midst of a fiery trial,

00:28:02.949 --> 00:28:04.089
in the midst of a snake pit.

00:28:04.369 --> 00:28:06.969
So your words, And, you know, again, going back to...

00:28:07.685 --> 00:28:10.985
Words, the power of words. If you, you know, you're exhausted,

00:28:11.165 --> 00:28:14.845
you're tired, you've had a hard day, things aren't going well,

00:28:15.125 --> 00:28:17.665
whatever all that looks like, keep your mouth shut.

00:28:18.145 --> 00:28:23.445
Do not murmur, complain, or give those words over to the enemy to make things

00:28:23.445 --> 00:28:26.945
of them because he will grab those words and build out of it a trouble,

00:28:27.305 --> 00:28:30.465
a tragedy, a calamity, an injustice,

00:28:30.845 --> 00:28:33.645
you know, because that's what Satan uses to create things.

00:28:33.725 --> 00:28:37.825
He uses our words to create things. And so your words can bless people,

00:28:38.065 --> 00:28:39.665
and they can curse people.

00:28:40.565 --> 00:28:44.925
And so, the new covenant that Jesus brought in, the new deal,

00:28:45.065 --> 00:28:49.665
the new arrangement that he brought in through his death on the cross,

00:28:49.885 --> 00:28:51.465
his shedding of his blood,

00:28:52.245 --> 00:28:57.505
his resurrection and his ascension, brought in the new covenant, the new arrangement.

00:28:57.705 --> 00:29:04.485
So, the Word of God now is not written on tablets of stone like it was in Moses'

00:29:04.745 --> 00:29:09.365
day, and it really stayed on the tablets of stone and didn't really get into

00:29:09.365 --> 00:29:11.305
the hearts of the people for the most part.

00:29:11.525 --> 00:29:17.385
It's true. But he says in Jeremiah 31, 33, this is the covenant that I will

00:29:17.385 --> 00:29:20.525
make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord.

00:29:20.665 --> 00:29:26.165
Now this is speaking of Israel, speaking of us to apply to us, we who believe.

00:29:26.545 --> 00:29:33.345
I will put my laws in their minds and write it in their hearts and I will be

00:29:33.345 --> 00:29:35.105
their God and they shall be my people.

00:29:35.405 --> 00:29:38.965
In other places he said, I will take away their stony hearts and give them a

00:29:38.965 --> 00:29:40.805
heart of flesh, a soft, tender heart.

00:29:40.965 --> 00:29:46.425
So what has to happen is the Spirit of God has to change our hearts.

00:29:46.805 --> 00:29:51.725
When our hearts are full of the goodness and the love and the grace of God.

00:29:52.245 --> 00:29:57.245
Then our mouths will speak truth, words of life, words of encouragement,

00:29:57.265 --> 00:29:59.425
words of blessing, words of grace.

00:29:59.565 --> 00:30:02.965
So our mouth is at the end of the chain. So what's going on in the mind,

00:30:02.965 --> 00:30:04.645
in the heart, it comes out the mouth.

00:30:04.765 --> 00:30:10.665
In Proverbs 10, he says, The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,

00:30:10.905 --> 00:30:13.105
but the perverse tongue will be cut out.

00:30:13.325 --> 00:30:18.145
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.

00:30:18.545 --> 00:30:23.105
And so we see that there's, again, death and life and the power of the tongue.

00:30:23.265 --> 00:30:25.205
And you will be known by your words.

00:30:25.425 --> 00:30:31.725
You not only will it identify or describe who you are, people will know you

00:30:31.725 --> 00:30:33.525
by your words it will also,

00:30:33.645 --> 00:30:37.385
those words are also being released into the atmosphere to bring forth life

00:30:37.385 --> 00:30:41.985
or death so there's probably nothing more that we need to be better stewards of.

00:30:42.605 --> 00:30:47.345
Then our words, and well, time is important too, but using your words to bring

00:30:47.345 --> 00:30:50.225
forth the kingdom of God instead of tearing it down.

00:30:50.645 --> 00:30:53.685
I think there's Proverbs that talk about people tearing things down with their

00:30:53.685 --> 00:30:56.505
words. You can tear down your marriage. You can tear down your children.

00:30:56.665 --> 00:30:59.285
You can tear down your life, your own life, with your words.

00:30:59.445 --> 00:31:04.925
So again, let's consecrate our words to the Lord and let our hearts be cleansed.

00:31:05.585 --> 00:31:10.645
Consecrate our hearts to the Lord. We said, Lord, change my heart, oh Lord.

00:31:11.205 --> 00:31:14.845
Make it ever true. Change my heart, O Lord, may I be like you.

00:31:15.065 --> 00:31:19.065
And that's done by the Spirit of God. That's done by the Word of God.

00:31:19.465 --> 00:31:24.345
That's done as He works in our lives, speaks to us. There's a difference.

00:31:25.545 --> 00:31:30.665
There's wickedness in our hearts. Jeremiah says that the heart is deceitful

00:31:30.665 --> 00:31:33.505
above all things, desperately wicked. Who can know it?

00:31:33.825 --> 00:31:40.245
So what we need is a heart transplant that's full of the goodness and the Word of the Lord.

00:31:40.245 --> 00:31:46.005
And out of the heart, then, you know, just, well, just, oh, you ought to bite

00:31:46.005 --> 00:31:50.925
my tongue. No, let the Lord change your heart, and then your words will be words

00:31:50.925 --> 00:31:53.165
of life and blessing and hope for others.

00:31:53.325 --> 00:31:58.465
In Proverbs again, chapter 10, verse 19, In the multitude of words sin is not

00:31:58.465 --> 00:32:01.285
lacking, but he restrains his lips as wise.

00:32:01.505 --> 00:32:06.545
The tongue of the righteous is choice, so, or the heart of the wicked is worth little or worth less.

00:32:06.545 --> 00:32:11.705
The lips of the righteous feed many but fools die for lack of wisdom so this

00:32:11.705 --> 00:32:17.985
connection between your heart and your mouth and how that turns out for other people how that.

00:32:18.560 --> 00:32:22.460
Shows, identifies, you know, to other people who you are.

00:32:22.900 --> 00:32:26.740
All of these things, again, are very, very powerful. It's a small thing,

00:32:26.860 --> 00:32:29.860
but it's a huge thing. The tongue, the words that we speak and say.

00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:34.080
So, Father God, we thank you for giving us the ability to speak and declare

00:32:34.080 --> 00:32:36.600
because it's a creative process.

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:41.080
But help us, Lord God, to have mercy upon us that we would use the gifts you've

00:32:41.080 --> 00:32:44.140
given us, the power, the power to create, the power of the words,

00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.120
the power to build and the power to tear down.

00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:50.060
You would cause us to have your wisdom and that our hearts would be cleansed

00:32:50.060 --> 00:32:55.460
and purified so that out of the abundance of the heart comes life, a wellspring of life.

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:59.480
You know, you said, keep our hearts with all diligence for out of it are the

00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:03.320
issues of life. So Father, help us to do that in Jesus' name.

00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:08.260
Yeah, Father God, I thank you, Lord, that that's really what it's all about,

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:13.000
is just a change of heart, a new heart I will give them. He said,

00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:14.320
that's what he was doing.

00:33:14.520 --> 00:33:19.680
And so, Lord, just do that. We can't just will that to come to pass,

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.940
but we just say, Lord, just change my heart.

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:27.780
Make my heart like yours, soft and tender and wise and full of your word.

00:33:28.300 --> 00:33:34.000
When you have your heart full of the word of God, you will be able to speak

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:40.340
life and joy and blessing and hope and truth and encouragement to everyone around

00:33:40.340 --> 00:33:41.700
you, including yourself.

00:33:42.260 --> 00:33:46.880
Yeah. Including yourself. Speak life over yourself. Don't curse yourself.

00:33:47.320 --> 00:33:52.020
Speak life over yourself that you are a son or daughter. If you believe in Jesus,

00:33:52.260 --> 00:33:54.040
you are a son and daughter of the living God.

00:33:54.300 --> 00:34:00.700
You're not what you used to be. You are who he says you are. Amen. Amen. Praise God.

00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.960
So spiritual warfare is a big deal.

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:10.140
And a lot of that has to do with, you know, who's speaking to us.

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.220
Yeah, good idea. Who is speaking to us? There's two power sources,

00:34:14.640 --> 00:34:17.940
the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of darkness, and

00:34:18.272 --> 00:34:22.352
And so in that book that you've just come out with,

00:34:22.992 --> 00:34:26.692
Spiritual Warfare and How Deliverance Can Change Your Life, there's a lot in

00:34:26.692 --> 00:34:33.032
there about words and truth and who are we listening to and what are we listening

00:34:33.032 --> 00:34:35.452
to and what are we speaking as a result.

00:34:35.452 --> 00:34:40.092
That's kind of an unexplored area of territory because a lot of people think

00:34:40.092 --> 00:34:44.532
that they're speaking all their own words and that those are their words.

00:34:44.532 --> 00:34:48.872
But a lot of times you are speaking words from the impersonator who is impersonating

00:34:48.872 --> 00:34:51.192
you to yourself to get you to believe that you are what you're saying.

00:34:51.872 --> 00:34:55.172
And so therefore, like Paul says, if I'm doing what I do not want to do,

00:34:55.272 --> 00:34:57.292
it's not me doing, it is the sin that dwells within me.

00:34:57.652 --> 00:35:02.552
So there's a lot of things going on inside of us, inside of our heart, treachery, trickery.

00:35:02.872 --> 00:35:10.892
The enemy is trying to blackmail us, corner us, bully us, and speak words through us that are not our own.

00:35:11.012 --> 00:35:14.532
And that becomes another place where we have to guard our hearts,

00:35:14.712 --> 00:35:18.592
for out of it come the issues of life. And the way we do that is through listening to the Holy Spirit.

00:35:18.732 --> 00:35:22.672
So that is a great book, Spiritual Warfare and How Deliverance Can Change Your

00:35:22.672 --> 00:35:25.172
Life. It's a whole lot more than just that.

00:35:25.712 --> 00:35:33.032
It's pretty concise and kind of comprehensive in looking at at least the general

00:35:33.032 --> 00:35:39.012
parameters of spiritual warfare about how this snake pit works, the rules in the war.

00:35:39.332 --> 00:35:44.992
So again, you can get that on Amazon.com, or you can order from life recovery.com.

00:35:45.172 --> 00:35:49.772
And so we just pray that you have a wonderful day and that God will use this

00:35:49.772 --> 00:35:54.152
to help you set a watch over your mouth and keep yourself with all diligence,

00:35:54.152 --> 00:35:57.912
your heart for out of it are the issues of life. Have a great day.

00:36:00.052 --> 00:36:06.972
I have an emergency. What is your location? Oh, my God.

00:36:03.120 --> 00:36:20.880
Music.

00:36:13.772 --> 00:36:16.132
I can't talk to another one there.

00:36:18.472 --> 00:36:20.172
Three, two, one.

00:36:22.892 --> 00:36:26.352
Rescue radio. Because there's a war for yourself.
