When I think about how this relates to CR, it is likened to taking a blue chip for my wicked tongue. It is an act of surrender and admitting to God that I am poor in spirit and need His power to move in me and through me to overcome my tongue which has been rooted in a stronghold of unrighteousness. The Lord especially talks about a woman's tongue as a gossiper. Women in the flesh are very wicked gossipers. Instead of having the courage and love to talk about a situation in lve, women of the flesh gossip in order to foolishly feel good and somehow think that they win the game. What a deception and entrapment! The generational curse in my family of women was GOSSIP. Even now the women in my family gossip about the other women. Praise God I find that I sit in silence now and do not participate in the gossip. I can't. He Who lives in me (not just in my head but in my heart) will not allow my tongue to participate in such depravity. When I start to, I feel sick inside. I wait. At times the Holy Spirit moves me to speak life into a situation that is "inflamed with gossip". When I do, depending on the heart of the woman I am speaking with, there is a change that takes place in the conversation. The woman either silents herself and sulks with that look of "who do you think you are" or the woman begins to talk with life. As for me it matters not what the other woman does. I feel <br />compassion for a woman who does not feel godly sorrow for her gossiping tongue; I no longer feel responsible for her or judge her. That is not my position. My position in Christ is to be a light for her no matter what the cost to my own person. Some women will criticize me. Some will reject me. Some will even gossip about me. It doesn't matter anymore. My loyalty is to One only, my Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. I pray that women begin to humble their tongues before Christ. I pray that women run to the altar (a blue chip is a great way to start!) and let God breath spirit life ito dead bones....into the tongue of His body. Wow! Imagine a tongue that praises, encourages, give thanks! The enemy has no entryway into such a tongue! He truly becomes a footstool beneath our feet! <br /><br />Love, GailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831552812314948942.post-50049389063851400962009-12-22T07:20:41.182-06:002009-12-22T07:20:41.182-06:00I have learned (for the most part) to silently lis...I have learned (for the most part) to silently listen, consider the person I receive critcism from, and even through hurt feelings try and find the a kernel of truth. It is so easy to disregard criticism when it comes packaged in unwarranted and hurtful words, but even then there is some truth in it somewhere. Thanks for the reminder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
