The 2 Week Diet of Words
We are women of many words! Some of the first sounds uttered by children on the playground are boys making noises and girls using many words!
I guess I would be considered a mouth in the body of Christ. God has given me a gift to speak His Love to a dying and hurting world. There is a great responsibility for those that desire to represent the Lord whether we are at home or standing before a crowd.
Colossians 4:5-6 says, “Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.”Knowing our greatest strength pushed out of balance can be our greatest weakness, here is a diet that all of us can do that will produce immediate fruit in our lives.
- Eliminate- Cut words by ½ for 2 weeks!
- Weigh- Everything that comes out of your mouth. Another way of wording it does it Bless or Blast? Heal or Hurt? Soothe or Slander?
a) Is it true?
b) Is it kind?
c) Is it necessary?
- Not Allowed
a) No criticism
b) No boasting
c) No lying
d) No gossip
e) No evil speech
f) No anger
- Unlimited Foods (The more you use, the better your diet)
a) Please
b) Thank you
c) I’m sorry
d) I’m praying for you
e) I love you
- Seasonings
a) A little salt
b) Grace-lavish on freely
- Everyday should begin with a Hearty Breakfast - Have breakfast everyday with the King! (Isaiah 50:4)
- Goal- Know how to speak in the right way.
- The Payoff- Proverbs 15:23 A man (woman) finds joy by the answer of her mouth. And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
