What is a scriptural tongue? Someone who speaks in tongues? Nope. It is a person who speaks to others and to themselves as Jesus was speaking their very words. The mind is a very active place and has led many to miss their off-ramp only to have to turn around to get back on track. I was known as a day-dreamer in school because my mind was more fun to hang around in than the class topics. But in there, that is the mind, we have good, wholesome, healthy, Holy, and pure thoughts, and we have the other ones that oh if we could just never speak them into life all would be better off. Negative and biting words kill. They steal futures, dreams, hopes, and destinies. You cannot take them back and the repair time requires a huge investment of time of which few of us have. But as believers we have been given the mind of Christ and I believe it is for this very reason which is that we could filter out those harmful words and kill them before we speak them into life. I have often had the scary thought that perhaps we would be better off if people could see what goes on up there, but then I am grounded in the belief even through my own negatively spoken words that the end of civilization would have come long ago if that were possible. Reading the Word of God puts the right words in your head. Listening to the right music puts the right words in your head. Watching good TV programming or movies puts the right words in your head. It’s up to you to develop your Christ mind. Let’s do it together.
