This Should Never Be

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I believe the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ provides a level ground of play for everyone who has been redeemed. Jesus had already paid the ultimate price for us.

There are some things that should not be. They are aberrations. Both things we engage in and the things we permit in our lives, relationships, and marriages.

Let me zero in on today’s topic on the negative use of our tongues.

Our tongues are very powerful. We are created in God’s image, and we know that God is a speaking God.

We change the course of our lives and destiny by the proper use of our tongues

Our text this morning admonishes us to use our tongues positively.

If you are in a relationship and your fiance or fiancee has a bad mouth and tongue, that’s a red flag.

Don’t take this lightly, trivialize, overlook, or dismiss them, as they will change after we are married.

Putting a ring on someone’s finger does not change anybody. Put your feet down and let him/her be schooled about the proper use of the tongue.

James 3:9-10 [TPT ]We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in his very image! Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sisters, this should never be!

To the married, Jesus was speaking through James, that the negative use of the tongue ‘should not be’

It is not permissable. In other words, ‘don’t allow it’

As Christians, there are things we should not permit. We should say no to mean words, demeaning words, hurtful words, and abusive words spoken to us, our children, about our marriage, career, finances, health, etc

We have the authority to refuse it. When we rebuke that spirit, it has no choice but to flee from our marriage. We need to take responsibility; Jesus won’t take that responsibility on our behalf.

Remember, this should never be in your relationship and marriage.

God bless you!
