"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
