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.

Jesus stands at the door of your heart, knocking, that you may let Him in.
