DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF YOUR TONGUE

A 20-year-old student at Notre Dame died yesterday. He was in a tower apparatus taking pictures of the football team's practice; we have had wind advisories for days. Yesterday's gusts were over 50 mph. (I can personally attest to the strengths of the winds - my daughter took me on an errand with her - I sat in her car for 30 minutes while she was inside of a store and the wind felt like it was going to literally pick up and flip the car)

90 minutes before the student died, he SPOKE DEATH OUT OF HIS MOUTH. His twitter page read:

“Gusts of wind up to 60 mph well today will be fun at work ... I guess I've lived long enough.” (3:22 p.m.)

90 minutes later he was dead.

He SAID "I guess I've lived long enough..."

DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF YOUR TONGUE. There are over 400 scriptures about the mouth for a reason.

The Lord proclaims in His word we are NOT TO SPEAK unless He gives us utterance. Jesus NEVER spoke anything apart from what the Father spoke

YOUR words - YOUR thoughts - spoken aloud - have NO ETERNAL VALUE. Let your "yes be yes and no be no" - meaning be of FEW WORDS...

For we are ACCOUNTABLE for every IDLE word spoken - an idle word is anything apart from the words of Almighty God - you have NOTHING OF ETERNAL VALUE to say that is of you, your experiences, your thoughts, your ideas- all are flesh and death apart from Him

It is NOT ABOUT YOU - it is about Him. So speak His words from this day forward - you will be speaking life and giving Him ALL the glory.

Jesus THROUGH us....death to self means no more you - only Him through you. It is His ministry - His birthright - surrender!

Even your mouth - especially your mouth.

WHAT ARE YOU SPEAKING???

WHAT ARE YOU DECREEING FOR YOUR LIFE (OR DEATH)?

His word is TRUTH - it's time to start listening....
