SLANDER BREEDS SLANDER
I AM a God of multiplication and the laws of sowing and reaping are governmental boundaries I have placed in the earth. Oh beloved ones, listen and heed. I love you so dearly; every part of you is etched in My heart. I hear every voice upon the earth, from the smallest bug to the largest quake. I earnestly watch over you. So many of My dear children are being slain by the words of their own mouths. What you plant as seed from your mouth is what you reap in a multiplied harvest. My children fall slain upon the battlefields from the bullets of slander, backbiting, criticism, judgment, and betrayal. If you have ought against your brother, go to him and make amends, being kind and willing to forgive to the same degree you need kindness and forgiveness. Precious ones, stop the cycle of word crimes and listen to the broken hearts that cry in the wind.
Yield to Me your most unruly member. Consecrate the words of your lips and let Me bring forth good fruit and an abundant life. Lay down the sword of death and take up the power to bless and heal and make well.
Hos 8:7 NKJV
“They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind.
Prov 12:14 AMP
From the fruit of his words a man shall be satisfied with good, and the work of a man’s hands shall come back to him [as a harvest].
1 Peter 4:11 NKJV
If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God.
James 3:7-10 NLT
People can tame all kinds of animals and birds and reptiles and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is an uncontrollable evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it breaks out into curses against those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right
Eph 4:29-32 AMP
Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God’s own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin). Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.
