Power of the Tongue (6) - Speak the Things of the Kingdom Psalms 141:3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips. Hebrews 10:23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: James 3:8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. James 3:9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: James 3:10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. James 3:11 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet. Exodus 15:25 An he cried unto Jehovah; and Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them; Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips. James 1:19 Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 3:8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. Joshua 1:6 Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Hebrews 6:4 For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, Hebrews 6:5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, Hebrews

We have been given authority and we must be careful what we do with it. Authority is the right to use power. As you know, Adam was given this authority and he lost it. (Rom. 6:16) Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? The Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus was the last Adam who came to restore that authority and we can tell by the awesome promises that He has given unto us. (1 Cor. 15:45) So also it is written, the first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit. In fact, to most people, these promises are too good to be true and they say things like: “they had to be talking about someone else”, “they don’t experience them”, or “they were made towards the apostles in the past”. But the truth is, He’s talking to you and me. The reason I know is because as I believed them I started entering into them, as have many others. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. There is an expression: The guy with an experience is never at the mercy of the guy with an argument. Folks, there are multitudes of Christians who are experiencing the authority and power of God and they are rejoicing; and there are still people out there denying it, but it’s to him who believeth. (Heb. 2:5) For not unto angels did he subject the world to come (Greek: “inhabited earth”), whereof we speak. Notice our dominion in this verse is not about “the world to come” but the “inhabited earth” here and now. In other words, God gave Adam and His seed authority. According to Psalm 8, he was given authority over all the works of His hands, over all of creation. So now, Jesus is not called the last Adam for nothing: He is the father of the born-again creation and came to give us authority. What I want to go on to show you is why we have to be so careful about this authority. (6) But one hath somewhere testified, saying, what is man, that
