Put your body especially your mouth under.

Put your body, especially your mouth under and bring it to subjection.

Job  31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

1 Corinthians  9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

It is important that you put the entirety of your bodies under the subjection of the blessed Holy Spirit and the word of God in the Bible.

However, one important part of the body that is important that get people inside and outside the church into trouble is the mouth.

Proverbs  13:2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.  13:3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Proverbs  18:20 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.  18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs  21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

James  3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!  3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Michal the daughter of king Saul was the only barren woman in the Bible. Her mouth got her into trouble.

2 Samuel  6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!  6:21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.  6:22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.  6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

The  almost all the adults of the children of Israel did not get to the promised land. They all died in the wilderness. Their mouth got them into trouble.

Numbers  14:28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:  14:29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,  14:30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.  14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.  14:32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.  14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.  14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.  14:35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

Beware of misusing your mouth because of the avoidable consequences of misuse.

Proverbs  21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

Let us pray.
