We are in sabbath service praising an worshiping God and His Messiah Yeshua. His presence is very strong here as we worship. The people are praising and dancing before the Lord. It goes on for over an hour.
Pastor is speaking about the tongue. It can be used to encourage, lift up, and impart love. It can also be used to tear down. It can be used to destroy people.
The tongue can be used in spiritual warfare. Praying for salvation, healing, strength. Words you speak affect people for good or for bad. You can speak words that hurt. You can even speak words over yourself, good or bad.
Speaking words that slander, backbite, hurt, or tear down, is like firing a gun. You can’t get your words back once they have been spoken.
Speaking evil about our leaders can curse them. Speaking good about our leaders can bless them to do what is right. Pastor says we should pray for our leaders. Proclaim the word of God over them. Words have life or death in them.
Rabbis have said…
Gossip kills 3 people, the person passing the gossip, the person being gossipped about, and the person hearing the gossip.
Think about the things you say. If you are a believer you have the authority of Yeshua when you speak. Be careful what you let come out of your mouth.
