Idle words are useless and they are very destructive. Lying, jesting, swearing, cursing, gossiping and all evil speaking should be avoided. They come from the unbridled tongue of the unregenerate heart. Endeavour to hide the word of God in your heart; it will cleanse and keep your tongue from uttering corrupt communication. Keep God's word within you; they shall withal be fitted in your lips - Proverbs 22:18.

King Hezekiah was sick unto death and he prayed for healing, but God sent Prophet Isaiah to advise him to prepare for death. The message from the Prophet did not stop his prayer. He prayed until God changed the verdict of the Court of heaven and added fifteen years to his life. Hannah's womb was shut by the Lord but when she persisted in prayer, God eventually answered her and gave her children. Do not stop praying until God undertakes for you.

The Lord saved the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage that he might bring them into the promised land of Canaan. It was never in God's plan for them to perish in the wilderness. Unfortunately, due to the sins of unbelief and murmuring among the people, almost all the adult members of the congregation that left Egypt died in the wilderness. Though the giants were on their way to hinder them, Joshua and Caleb simply trusted in the ability of God, and were brought into Canaan.

Beloved, do not give place to the devil to reign over you. It is what you allow that will eventually have dominion over you. The devil will always come to you with evil suggestions, but he cannot invade your life until you let him in. Eve was deceived and overcome because she engaged the devil in a conversation instead of resisting him. Be watchful and prayerful so you won't be deceived. 

Many are being deceived to take pleasure in committing secret sin, not knowing that those who have gone before them are already in the depths of hell. Be not deceived, even your evil thoughts are loud enough in the ears of the Lord and they are punishable by Him except you repent. Be warned and endeavour to live your life before the Lord rather than before men.
