Watch Yo Mouth

The same thing God wants to use, the enemy does too. God had to teach me the strategies of the enemy by showing me the very gifts God wants to use, the enemy wants to use as well. I heard a pastor once say, "Sin will take you further than you wanna go, and it will keep you longer than you want to stay." Self control is one of the fruits of the spirit and the main area I had to learn self-control in was my mouth. The old me would say whatever, whenever and however I chose to without an ounce of care for the other person. Through hard work with God and a few failed attempts & having to learn the hard way a couple of times I have now gained self-control in that area & this past season God needed to ensure I had the level of self control that he needed me to have so he turned things up a notch just to see. EXPECT GOD TO TEST YOU IN THE AREAS WHERE YOU HAVE MASTERED CERTAIN THINGS, AND EXPECT THE TEST TO BE HARDER THAN YOU COULD'VE IMAGINED. Sometimes God just wants to see if you truly free from the thing you claim to be free from. Watching yo mouth is so essential because the word saids "Life and death lie in the power of the tongue", "The tongue is a fire that can corrupt the whole person and set their life on fire. It is a restless evil that if full of a deadly poison." "From the same mouth can come both blessing and cursing, which should not be." Certain seasons of your life COST MORE than other seasons & I am in this season of my life right now where one wrong move will cost me everything God is doing in my life & I have to ask myself sometimes "is it the price I want to pay", and the answer is always no. I just dont wanna miss my mark. I just dont wanna miss God.
