Watch Your Words

Devotions:

        “As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.” ‭Psalms‬ ‭109:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        What we say will affect our bodies and the rest of our lives.  Here in the prophecy about Judas, it is said that he cursed all the time, he clothed himself with cursing like as with a garment.  The cursing because a curse to his body.  if we are continually putting a curse on people it will come back upon us.  We cannot continually curse people or things and it not affect us negatively. 

        What do you want to be clothed with? A curse or a blessing. The children of Israel coming out of Egypt continually whined, griped and complained and accused God of bringing them out of Egypt to kill them.  Nothing could be further from the truth. God brought them out to bless them but their mouth kept them from walking in their blessing.  Because they whined, griped and complained all the time when it came time for them to go into the promised land, it looked impossible in the natural and so they refused to go in.  Their own mouth had defeated them.  Instead of cultivating faith, they cultivated doubt and unbelief by their whining,  griping and complaining. 

        Judas was in the presence of "The Blessing" and yet missed it because he loved cursing.  His cursing kept him from receiving the Lord Jesus even though he walked with Him as one of His disciples and even performed miracles by Jesus' anointing. 

        What are you saying about your life, your circumsatances, your situation, your friends, your enemies?

        “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:44‬ ‭KJV‬‬
