I'm one of those believers that wouldn't use just any slang words because they're the trending thing. All the "life no balance" and the likes. The way my Spirit immediately rejects them is a wonder. My whole being is just too aware of the power my tongue wields.
I have given up fam. I just had to completely give up trying to sound like or act like others. I've used some slang words in the past too, “just because,” but naahhh. Not anymore.
You see, one sweet thing about the Jesus being your LORD and SAVIOUR is his ability to influence your entire being, the way you talk, walk, dress, everything.
A word of advice to some of you that might have been fighting the leading of the Spirit of God in you not to talk a certain way or act in a certain way, quit fighting. Just obey. It would pay off eventually, and you'll love what you see.
Be cool with the fact that it might be okay for everyone but you're just different, and be satisfied with your difference. Everyone can't be led the same way.
As for using slang words that do not conform with the reality of your person in Christ, see what James 3:11-13 has to say, “Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? v.11
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. v.12
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.” v.13
We really cannot drop the mic from preaching and confessing positive things this minute and move on to using words that are in direct contrast with our confessions if we are to be real please.
We can't keep striking iron hot with the words of our mouth and making it cold at the same time.
This is my reality, this is my confession, “I’m aware that my tongue is a weapon, I shoot shots with this. I can’t afford to misfire, e go bad.”
I had a friend that said their mind, only when telling a joke. They didn't know that I'm God's baby girl and in turn God's paddy. He highlighted the seemingly "meaningless" lines to me as though with a bold marker.
They'd want to express some jealousy, but they'd do it in the form of a joke and for every time they did, I could discern what exactly they intended to say, and that was because I had made a simple but sincere prayer to God.
It went like, "Lord, please I don't want to find myself living Psalm 1:1." God did not only answer my prayer but also gave me the ability to make the right choices and the necessary tools that I needed to do that—The gift of Discernment.
Sometimes, God’s intentionality about us shows in really random things. There are times you have a thought/desire you didn’t even pray about, & you just come across it on your social media or somewhere you weren’t expecting. A God who hears our WORDS and HEARTS. We stan 🙌
There are lovers that listen to every words you utter and grant your desires. Then there’s that lover who not only pays attention to your words, but to your heart too... He listens to every of your unsaid words and satisfies you, how refreshing to know!
The times you craved for shawarma and got it without asking,
The times you needed money and someone just asked for your account number (out of the blues. Lol)
The times you needed a friend and he sent someone to love you... I mean, you remember those times, don’t you?
Sis, You Said No To Him Already, So Why Are You Still Monitoring His Life?
Why are you stalking him, really? Why are you checking his social media to see if he has the picture of another lady? You already said you weren’t interested, so why?
I’m talking to you my dear, why so bothered? Why do you still look out for him at events or gatherings? Oh, I get it, the Bible tells you to be your brother’s keeper, so you’re trying to do your part innit? Lmao!
I’m not done... why does your stomach knot when you see him talking to another lady? What’s the challenge? I mean, the young gentleman met you and spoke to you about his interest, you said no,
