The speech i allow

WORDs of Saving Grace - the speech i  allow

Ephesians 4:29-30

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Notice it is said "Let", this means to allow or enable to have power.

Why would WE allow corruption to have control of the words that proceed from our lips?

Look at the definition of corruption according to Strong's:

rotten, putrefied

corrupted by one and no longer fit for use, worn out

of poor quality, bad, unfit for use, worthless

When we practice and follow evil speaking this comes from the heart.

Matthew 12:34

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

But when we follow Jesus and allow His words to come out of our mouths this is the will of God!

Psalms 103:5

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

I want to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit when He is speaking through me or someone else, rather than grieving Him.

Jesus' speech was seasoned with grace even as He hung on the cross. If we are going to "let" communication out of our mouth let us speak of Him and what He has done in our lives.

Psalms 44:8

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
