THE TRAINING AND YOUR WORDS

‭‭For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 

James‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The first part of your being to respond expressively to any thing that happens in you or around you is your mouth. Your mouth through speaking, gives expressions to the thoughts on your heart. Your words are a direct result of your thought process, mindset and imaginations.

In fact, many times, before we get involved with something, we would have imagined it or thought about it, and inevitably spoken something about it with words. Words are the first outward expression we give to any situation. This is why it's easy for people to talk anyhow or just use words any how. 

Because many people just speak what they feel at the moment, what their emotions capture, or what their experience suggests to them. But there's a much higher and much more brilliant use of words. It's the use of words according to the discipline of the Spirit, and not merely according to your feelings, emotions and experiences.

Don't let your words be a victim of your world. If you do, you'll never be able to live above that world. But if you train yourself, to think above your feelings and experiences, you'll also speak above your feelings and experiences, and then, your feelings and experiences will elevate to the level where your words spring from. Hallelujah! Let this level be Christ!

Affirmation: I refuse to let my words, my thoughts, and my life to be a victim of my feelings and experiences. The Word of God gives me a mindset, and I think according to that mindset. I embrace the discipline of the Holy Spirit, to speak right, and think right, according to the Word of God in Jesus name. Amen .
