"If you don't believe me just ask that lady over there in that telephone booth. Now laugh, Silly! " I said as I pointed to the lady laying in the hospital bed across from mine. " Quit talking to me and get out of here. Just go home.....now!" I was just coming out from under anesthetic and my husband was asking me questions then laughing hysterically at my answers. I knew the answer to the questions yet I knew when I opened my mouth, something entirely different was going to come out. Had I been thinking straight, I would never have talked to my husband like that.
How many times do we as Believers allow Satan to control our minds and our tongues and say things that we never would have said normally?
"Beasts, birds, reptiles and all kinds of sea-creatures can be, and in fact are, tamed by man, but no one can tame the human tongue. It is an evil always liable to break out, and the poison it spreads is deadly. We use the tongue to bless our Father, God, and we use the same tongue to curse our fellow-men, who are all created in God’s likeness. Blessing and curses come out of the same mouth—surely, my brothers, this is the sort of thing that never ought to happen!" James 3:7-10 Phillips translation
