Episode 133 - Disciplines
Do you discipline yourself on how you talk to people?
Disciplining yourself in what you say can sometimes be very hard depending on who you're talking to or what kind of interaction you've had with that person. But this week we want to talk about our self-disciplines. So from Luke chapter 6 verse 45, “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart, for the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”
If we want good things to flow from our mouths and into the lives of those around us, we need to spend the time it takes to fill our hearts with good things and empty them of evil. When we confess our sins to God, we empty our hearts to him.
This is a good practice to go through daily with God. Ask him to reveal any evil in you and confess it to him, and ask him to replace the evil with his good. Our hearts must be constantly filled with Christ so we can speak good things to our family and friends. Daily scripture reading helps us to fill our hearts and minds with his word and good thing. Sometimes we have to remember if we're always speaking negative or always saying bad things, it's things that could be coming from our heart. And I'm sure a lot of us don't want to be doing that each and every day. So if you find yourself speaking negative, speaking harshly, or bad things all the time, take time to confess those things to God. Spend some quiet time with him and he will take that from you. But you've got to fill yourself with the good. You have to fill yourself with some scripture or prayer or asking God to help you change your ways, your thinking. It may take time, but it'll happen.
So I want to finish out a prayer for us. God, I confess to you the evil I have harbored in my heart, and I ask that you fill my heart with you so I may speak right and good words to my loved ones. Help me to get rid of any of the negativity or evil that may be around or in my mind. Allow me to speak the good words that you have given us so I can glorify you and share the good with others around. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
