IT'S HOT IN HERE!

  1Thessalonians 5:19 
 
"Do not quench the Spirit." ESV
 
 
 
Fire is burning passion that affects everything it touches. The Holy Spirit is a powerful, consuming fire. If the Holy Spirit is living within us, we are affected, changed in nature, and have the same power to affect those around us. Others will be affected with the fire of the Holy Spirit and they will be forever changed. How could we ever allow this Holy Spirit fire from burning within us and keep Him from working through us?
 
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit who ignites us with the fire of Your passion. Help us to keep the fire of the Holy Spirit burning in our lives, so that others will be changed keep the fire spreading to others. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

IS YOUR TONGUE SHOWING?

 
 
James 3:5
 
"So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!" ESV
 
Isn't it amazing that the tongue is small and rests hidden inside the mouth? If the size of the tongue and the place it rests were equal to its power, it would be the largest part of the body. It would be the first and maybe only part of us others would see. The tongue is incredibly powerful. It carries out of us the things we are thinking, intending, and believing. It can encourage and lift up or it can tear down and destroy. But....praise be to the Lord that He has given us the ability and the choice to control it.
 
Heavenly Father, forgive us for choosing to let our tongues speak things that are not pleasing to You and that are hurtful to those around us. Forgive us for allowing our tongues to be our sword instead of the sword of the Spirit, Your Word. Help us to use wisdom, discernment, and patience before we speak so that our words will be pleasing to You. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

THE TONGUE



Did you ever wonder why the tongue is small and rests hidden inside the mouth? If its size and placement on our body were in proportion to its capability it would be the first, if not the only thing others would see. It is incredibly powerful. It brings out the thoughts and intents of the heart. It can encourage, yet it can destroy. Thank the Lord He has given us the ability and the choice to control it.

Read James 3:5

"Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark." (NIV)

"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.
Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!" (KJV)
