RHEMA 11/27/10  A CLOSED MOUTH KEEPS FOOT OUT

Today I was archiving the forum into downloadable pdf files and came across this quote that was really quickened to me:

QUICKENED SIGN:  A closed mouth keeps foot out.

There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health." (Prov 12:18 NKJV)

CONFIRMATION FROM CLASS MEMBER: 

"Last Sunday morning we were listening to a radio program called "Way Out West". One of the things I heard that was quickened to me was, "A closed mouth gathers no foot."

 

Then when we got to church the sermon was about being charitable instead of critical in our judgments. One of his examples was Hannah in the temple being critically judged when the priest thought she was drunk!

 

CONFIRMATION:  Wayne spoke about the same subject tonight when we were getting ready to pray together. 

This month I have put my foot in my mouth more times than I could count, and the Lord has really been dealing with me about it.

WORD TO PONDER:  SLOW TO SPEAK, QUICK TO LISTEN  11/27/10

Beloved one, I have been focusing on the words that you speak.  Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love speaking will eat the fruit of their words.  You have been given tremendous authority to speak My goodness into the earth and into the lives of those you love. 

Thank you for heeding this lesson, I know you have set your heart upon it for many years.  I have filled your mouth with wisdom and taught you how to be swift to hear and slow to speak.  Those who do so, refrain from presumptuous assumptions that often are misled by outward appearances.  When you wait upon Me to evaluate and discern what is truth, I help you understand the motives and hearts of people and then you are able to speak wisely with My counsel. 

Prov 10:19-22 NKJV

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. 20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.  21 The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom. 22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

John 7:24 NKJV

Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
