Tongues on Fire The bible has much to say about those who do not control their tongues. Because the tongue is a mighty tool of satan, he frequently uses it to kill, steal, and destroy. That old adage that we used as kids...sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me is an outright lie from satan, himself. All the wars ever fought on this earth started with words. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. James 3:6 (NLT).Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7 (NIV). O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment? Psalms 120:3 (NLT). God creates everything with His Words. We are made in Gods image and likeness. Our words heal, or destroy. In His right hand, He held seven stars, and coming out of His mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. Revelations 1:16 (NIV). Marriages have dissolved, murders have increased, innocent people have gone to prison, suicides have gone rampant, lives have been destroyed, and myriads of other evil things have occurred all because of the tongue bringing forth words of evil. Failure to control our tongues cause us to face the punishments and curses shown many times in the bible. Those who live by the sword will die by the sword can also pertain to the sword of the tongue. But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. Matthew 5:22 (NLT). There are six things the Lord hates; no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes,a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family. Proverbs 6:16-19 (NLT). Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything .
