Thoughts of darkness precede words of darkness. Thoughts of Truth, Life, and Love precede Words of Truth, Life, and Love. When you let Me exchange your thoughts for My Thoughts, then We begin the exchange of dark words of death for Words of Life, Love, and peace. Until you have new thoughts from Me, be silent. Do not let dark words come out of your mouth. James 3:6 In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man It is a restless (undisciplined, irreconcilable). evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God’s likeness! 10 Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so. 11 Does a fountain send forth [simultaneously] from the same opening fresh water and bitter?12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither can a salt spring furnish fresh water. Matthew 15:11 A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it Proverbs 15:4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. Proverbs 21:23 Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity. Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
