Think before you speak. How often do you hear the words people say but they say nothing of value? They promote harm, war, riots, and insurrection. While a person who thinks before they speak promotes peace.

As king of Israel, Solomon heard what people said when they came into his court. He heard the plans of the people and persuaded them to peace not war. He knew JEHOVAH listened to those who prayed and sought Him first before they opened their mouths.

As children of Yeshuwa, you need to think about the words you say, pray about your intentions. Do your thoughts line up with Yeshuwa’s Word, or do you speak before you think or pray about what you intend to do?

You are an ambassador of Christos. You are a living epistle of the gospel of Iesous Christos.

2 Corinthians 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 clearly you are an epistle of Christos, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Pneuma of the living Theos, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. 4 And we have such trust through Christos toward Theos. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from Theos, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Pneuma; for the letter kills, but the Pneuma gives life.

Ephesians 6:19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. (NKJV)

Yeshuwa hears you when you speak and pray. He hears the words you speak in haste and the words you speak with thoughtfulness and prayer. Therefore, it’s important that you think before you speak and pray before you open your mouth so that the words you speak reflect the heart of Yeshuwa.

Let’s pray: Father, put a guard on my mouth so that the words I speak reflect who I am in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
