The mouthpiece

The Word says there is life and death in what we speak.  In sports we wear a mouthpiece for protection. An athlete is not allowed to enter the contest without a mouthpiece.  The mouthpiece is issued by the coach for that very reason; protection.



Our mouthpiece in Christ is the Word of God.  It is our protection.  How often do you speak the Word of God each day?  The Word of God is our shield from the enemy and also from ourselves.  We should speak life over our loved ones, brothers and sisters in Christ, and the sinner.  If we are not the one speaking life than who is?

So many times we allow ourselves to be influenced instead of influencing others.  Take note of the number of times in a day you are speaking the Word of God.  In other words, which mouthpiece are you wearing - the one of life or the one of death?  Make no mistake about it, you cannot wear both and get the blessings God has stored up for you.

The first step in getting your mouthpiece in, first thing in the morning, should be the Word of God.  That will equip you for a winning start to your day!  If you pay attention to what some people say, you will find that they are defeated by the mouthpiece.  They will say they are blessed and five minutes later complain about what they do not have. God said he will supply our every need. Others will say they are blessed and then start gossiping.  God said love your neighbor as you love yourself. Some will say they are blessed but then start poor mouthing others.  Which one is it?  We are either blessed or we are not.  There is no in between.

I do not know about you but I want to be around people who have a mouthpiece that speaks life at all times.  We are not only responsible for the mouthpiece we are wearring, we are also responsible for the mouthpiece of our household.   I serve a God who is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Author and the Finisher of my Faith; the Great I Am!

Do you need a new mouthpiece?  It does not matter what we have or what we do not have we should always speak as we have it all because Our Father has it all.  If we could do it ourselves we would not need God.

Get your mouthpiece right!
