I have to first say that I am the first partaker of this message. So this is not my intent to lash out at anyone in particular. I write this to remind and to teach. I was reading in the book of proverbs chapter 17 where in verse 4 says that "A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue". Now you may ask what does this mean practically? This means that you allow others or even the adversary to speak negative things to you and they go unchallenged. Or you yourself do it. To allow anyone to speak contrary to what you want to see show up in your life is to partake in a lie. You give heed to false lips!
Now I will probably get under someone's skin when I say this, but...Most of us are liars. How is that? If you are walking with G-d-meaning you are saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost--if you are not mature--you are more than likely still a liar. I say that because most of us say we are believing G-d but then when circumstances seem to get the better of us we speak contrary to the word of G-d as it relates to those circumstances. You can not expect to see the manifestation of a promise in your life and then speak against what the word of G-d says. You see, the thing about lying is that we assume that it means something as it pertains to gossip or hearsay.
That's only part of it. Lying is speaking anything that is not true. The problem with a lie is that it always has an element of the truth somewhere in there. Your head may hurt but you need to claim healing because that's what the word says you are. Healed! So then what is truth? The scriptures say that G-d's word is the truth (John 17:17)--truth meaning it is the highest form of reality.
Even when you say that you are healed--though you have yet to come into the manifestation of perfect health--it is the truth because the natural or physical things we experience are temporal (2 Corin 4:18). Temporal meaning they are subject to change. Temporal things are not real. If they were they wouldn't be able to change. What you have to understand is that angels are the reapers of your harvest. They are in charge of bringing into manifestation those things that you and I are standing on the word for. (see Matthew 13:30, v39) How do they do that? They adhere to the words that you speak. (Daniel 10:12) Now we know that words created the universe (Genesis 1 and Hebrews 11:3)--therefore words create our circumstances and situations. What do the angels hear you saying? Does it line up with the things that you should be saying or are you lying?
The mark of maturity is to understand that every word out of your mouth means something. So that means you don't just say ignorant things. You must know it and practice it! You understand that you are operating in a law--what you say will come to pass if you say it enough. Thank G-d the system works this way. Imagine if we said it and it showed up! Now that would be wonderful on a good day--but what about if we messed up and said something both negative and stupid? That's why this may sound odd for me to say but I would really like to talk to 50 Cent and tell him that if he continues to call himself that he will eventually be reduced to that. He needs to change his name to 50 billion or something. I know he has worked too hard to want that to happen.
The bible says that wisdom crieth in the streets (Proverbs 1:20). Therefore we can very easily find an example there for what we want to avoid and learn from it. Let's take the actor Redd Foxx for example--most of us watched week after week as he pretended to have a heart attack and that's exactly what he died from because there is no comedy in the spirit realm.
You cannot say that G-d knows what you mean--he only knows what you say. The saints say all the time that they are calling those things that be not as though they were(Romans 14:17) not understanding that the law works both ways! All I can say is--let's line up with the word.
My next post will cover "Lashon Ha-ra" --evil communication.
Be blessed!
