Loose lips sink not just ships

“The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

If you are walking in the righteousness of Christ, you know what is acceptable, what is real truth. Loose lips don't just sink ships, they sink people, cities, regions.

Our lips need to declare what is acceptable, true and right into atmospheres in our homes, churches, workplaces, and cities. That means coming into agreement with what heaven is declaring not what we see! Speak things that are not as though they are!

Sadly, what we broadcast often is spirit of judgement and call out truth of sin but not anything restorative. Yes, I know sin a mile away when I see it, that doesn't take a spirit filled person to come to that conclusion, after all Pharisees knew what sin was but did not see truth when it was before them.

What if, we began to become spiritual gold diggers, looking for a treasure in a field of dirt? That takes the power of the Holy Spirit to see gold in a person, nation or city that's a mess. Begin declaring the gold the Lord sees into the atmospheres daily in prayer and come into agreement with heaven.

Now to be clear, I am not talking about cheap grace here, being easy on or tolerating sin, ignoring sin or removing disciplining of believers. I am simply saying lets declare what is acceptable to heaven over a city, person, situation. Our lips can sink ships, cities, and people but they can also raise an Army! What will you say this day? We can create an open heaven when we begin to agree and declare on earth what heaven declares!

Pray about making a declaration over your family, city and church!
