The Physical Body V: "The Tongue": Truth, Treasures, and Traps, Part 1 In this fifth part of our discussion of our physical bodies - "The First Temple" - we will be discussing the importance of our tongues within a Christ-Centered perspective. The tongue is a small but powerful member in our physical bodies, with immediate as well as eternal effects. In this first part of the discussion we look at some practical wisdom and instructions about using our tongues as instruments of righteousness, through the overall perspective of our bodies as organic temples of the Holy Spirit in us (1 Corinthians 6:15-20). We discuss the importance of spreading and preaching the Truth (Jesus Christ), using our tongues to bless God through gratitude and praise, as well as some "traps" to avoid with the words we speak about and to others. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." - Proverbs 18:21 In the following part, we will discuss some of the more supernatural uses of the tongue - from the perspective of spiritual gifts such as prayer, prophecy, "speaking in tongues", and intercession for others.  I hope this message opens "the eyes of your understanding" to the reality of your tongue as a vessel of either blessing or cursing.  I pray that you will be encouraged to seek God for further wisdom and revelation on this topic, and ultimately choose blessing over cursing - life over death. With love in Christ, Yemurai "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy." - 1 Peter 2:9-10 "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." - John 14:6 "Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come." - Ephesians 1:18-21 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yemurai/message
