“A Lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.” (Proverbs 26:28).
There is an affliction that is so hidden here, Lying provokes affliction. Flattery leads to ruins, though they both look like ordinary things!
When your tongue is given to lying, you’re set for affliction. When what your mouth is saying is different from what your heart is saying, you’re a flatterer, you’re heading for ruins.
Friend, don’t use flatteries, it doesn’t do anyone any good. Don’t let your tongue cause your affliction. Just say it as it is, and you’ll be free! You’ve said something behind someone, and when you see him you say something else entirely. You’re a flatterer, you’re heading for ruins!
Somebody asks you, “How are you enjoying your job?” , and you say, ‘Wonderful! Amazing! In fact, my boss is one of the best people in the world.” Then someone else who is not connected to your office comes along and you say, “My work? It’s so-so. In fact, that my boss is the most terrible person in the world!” You’re simply working ruins! Watch it!
O yes, wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Your boss may have wronged you in the past. But all you need to do is express your feelings; be straight forward (so you don’t create room to be destroyed by flatteries), and you’ll live a healthy life.
Hear me again, if what you’re saying in your heart is different from what you’re saying with your mouth, you are ruining your destiny! Not everybody around greatness partakes of it; some are ruined by flattery, others are afflicted for lying. Free yourself! “Shake thyself from the dust” , says Isaiah 52:2. Dust represents a curse (Genesis 3:19). So you can shake your feet from the curses of life.
Receive grace to overcome flatteries and lying. Enjoy the beauty of holiness.
Make the following declarations: “Lord, deliver me from the curse of the tongue. I take my deliverance from every curse that my tongue might have imposed on me. Help me to discover them, and give me grace to be free from them, in Jesus name!”
I command a refreshing to come upon your life right now, in the precious name of Jesus!
shalom!
