End of the world./ The tongue: a world of iniquity /Part 1

2 Samuel 23:2  The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. What is God trying to say to us in this verse as we go on, it shall be revealed. Greetings. Often when we go to the doctor we are asked to stick out our tongue, as to why this procedure is done, I never researched the reason. The word tongue, is found close to 160 times in the Bible and this small instrument of destruction is ignored by the spiritually unlearned. As kids we often stuck out our tongue at a perceived enemy as to mock them but that has long been replaced with people giving each other the finger. James 3:8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. When the tongue is tame, we will no longer take God's covenant in our mouth and defile it. What man has perceived to be wickedness has been totally different from what God perceive wickedness is. Psalm 50:16  But unto the wicked God saith, what hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? What are His statutes? In modern society, statutes are written laws passed by a legislative body. We have all been wicked men who have added to the statutes which are sealed in heaven by three witnesses. 1 John 5:7  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Most of us would not stand up in a physical court of law and then start declaring our own statutes or laws against what has already been established by the court legislative body. We must consider that the Bible is a book of God's laws who provides the counselor or Spirit of Truth to interpret it for you. John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Can you imagine a person gets up in court and tells the judge that the laws governing a 35-mph speed zone should be changed to 75, because he wants it that way? But this is done on any given Sunday by millions of so-called Pastors that get up and change the Bible to the way they think. Still millions read the Bible and despise any council that the Holy Spirit would try to give them, they become their own witness: they see the Bible in their own wisdom. Psalms 81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels. God just gives you what you want within your heart and you lust after your own evil counsel, you will not be blessed of God. Men have built great physical structure unto themselves and proclaim that they are blessed of God. If the only evidence we have that we are blessed by God is a physical object, then we have missed the point as to why Christ came.  Psalms 1:1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. We are all born with a hostile witness within us, our tongue, that can only be tamed by God. Job 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. The Prophet Job had to be corrected by God because he spoke error concerning God's word. Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? When we speak God's words without knowledge, we have just made it sin. Spiritually listen to the next verse as Job has taken the rebuke from God; but we are better than Job and refuse to be corrected. Job 42:3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. God Hid his word from us, and it must be revealed to us. Why? This next verse as in all verses has nothing to do with the physical but it is God word that’s hid from us. Psalm 31:20Thou shalt hide them [His word]in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Our pride is hidden from us and it could be the lowest drunk on the street to the most powerful businessman on this physical earth, we are all full of pride. A lot of Pastors are so full of pride they feel they have a message to deliver and they chose to ignore the : THE STAY IN PLACE ORDER , issued by the physical government, telling them to stay at home and it is also God's Spiritual government telling them to shut up because they have never had a message from God to deliver. Philippians 3:18(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ. When we do not preach to death to our mortal thinking concerning the Bible, we become God’s enemy. The next verse these Wolves will use to try to justify their actions to still gather in the congregation of the damn. Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Spiritually we have never obeyed God’s commandment about His word but added our own thought or foolishness to it. These Wolves have never gathered in His name but their own name or wisdom.
