What You HEAR (and) What You READ (either) Curses or Blesses You
“Be Careful What You Hear.”
-Jesus Christ-
Luke 8:18
Each day we hear between twenty and thirty thousand words; and when adding what we READ that number is even greater.
But why is this important - or should you even care?
You see, when Jesus said to be careful regarding WHAT you hear,
it also means HOW you hear because what you receive will have
either a postive or negative effect on your life.
For example, have you noticed how many four-letter words and
using God’s name and the name of Christ indescriminately have
steadily crept into modern communication? We see and hear these
continually in movies, videos, TV programs and
and now are also casually embedded as adjectives on
once respected news web sites. We used to call them
'Cuss Words' but the word origin of
CUSS is
actually CURSE.
To CURSE means to Degrade,
Offend, Cause Pain or Call Upon An Evil Supernatural Power intended to inflict harm.
Through the common use of these words and phrases, it is easy to become
indifferent and numb to what you read or hear, and that is one aspect of what
Jesus is saying. The positive side instead is when you heed God’s standard
of godliness and righteousness good words bring good blessings...and Never Curses.
Friend, this is not a “goodie-two-shoes” message.
We all are free to think, act, watch and listen to anything we choose.
This is the gift of free will, but with that gift can come either a BLESSING
or a CURSE.
What you choose to read, listen or say is entirely up to you but consider this...
By what you hear, see, and say are you bringing
Blessing or Cursing
In or around your life?
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
