Heavenly Wisdom vs. Demonic Wisdom: Word Watching

To my utter dismay, lately I have been witnessing people all around me living defeated lives and forfeiting their spiritual assignments.  I see it and the Father immediately tells me that, “They have talking about ____ (someone).”  Meaning, they have not been watching their words.  In the book of James the third chapter verses 13-18 he talks about the difference between heavenly wisdom and demonic wisdom.  Verse 13  Starts off by saying, “Who is wise and understanding among you?”  Meaning who thinks they have wisdom about someone or understands their heart enough to talk about them?  The verse continues, “Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic…” Meaning, 13)  If you think you know something about someone first live a life of good conduct that demonstrates the humility of being under the Fathers instruction (wisdom).  14) If you are not doing this, then everything you say will simply be boasting and lying against what is true (or what the Father knows to be truth). 15) This wisdom or revelation or understanding you have about _____- (someone) is actually earthly (or of the flesh), based on what you can see with your natural eyes  (senses) and more or less demonic.  Yes, the bible states that it is demonic.  And actually heavenly wisdom and understanding is described in verse 17 as “pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, fully of mercy and good fruits and without partiality or hypocrisy..” (meaning not holding someone else to standards you yourself are not living by).

To me, words are powerful and weighty.  This is why we will give account of every idle and meaningless word we speak in the Day of Judgment because whether we see the effects or not, our words produce fruit of which we are responsible (Matthew 12:36).  Unfortunately, the lack of this knowledge is destroying a lot of saints in the body of Christ.  We are inviting poverty, disease and strife into our lives by putting our mouth on other people.  We are never qualified to gossip or talk negatively about someone.  That is Satan’s job and as James describes it in verse 15, a demonic assignment.

Consider this: 

How would you talk about King David if you saw him scoping Bathsheba sunbathing (2 Samuel 11:2), and later inviting her to his chambers?  Would you still esteem David as a man of God (much one after God’s own heart) in your conversations?  How would your conversations change about David?

If you are being misjudged:

I Corinthians 2:15, But he who is spiritual judges ALL things, yet he himself is RIGHTLY judged by no one.  Only the Father can correctly and rightfully judge you. So do not allow yourself to be judged by the world, or by others misguided in the faith.

And if you are putting your mouth on anyone at all:

Matthew 5:22 “But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.”

 

Jude 9 “ Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses dare not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “ The Lord rebuke you!”

Even the archangels refuse to gossip and bring a reviling word against Satan himself, so why do we bring reviling words against our own brethren/sisters?  We are family, and as such should protect one another in faith.  It is our duty and responsibility and unfortunately doing the opposite causes a curse and brings forth demonic activity in our lives.  So let us hold our tongues and in so doing close the door to poverty, sickness and discord in our lives. Most of all- Be encouraged to hold your tongue in dealing with the brethren.  Judge righteously and dwell in heavenly wisdom and understanding of which James categorizes as pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partial bias or holding others to standards that you yourself do not yet abide by.

Beloved, let us truly dwell in Love with one another ~eg
