The Harsh Tongue - Day 16 "30 Days to Taming Young Tongue" 

A gentile answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)
The ideal woman in proverbs "She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness" (Proverbs 21:26)

• There is no justification for harsh or unkind talk 
• Deliberately choose words that are warmhearted, understanding, and sympathetic 
• Make a habit of speaking kindly
• Before approaching anyone go to Yahweh and get his words
• We cannot achieve Yahweh's purpose while being harsh
• Harsh words never die, they can impact a person for life
• Seek Yahweh for deliverance from speaking harshly when angry  

As the saying goes, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar. A kind word goes much farther than a harsh word. If you ask someone for correction in a kind manner rather than in a harsh critique you will get a better response, and you will be more favorable in their eyes. Also speaking kindly will also make you more happy. No one is ever happy after they yell.

The Belittling Tongue - Day 14 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

• Aim to make people feel better about themselves after spending time with you
• A belitter...
• - focuses on the shortcomings rather than assets 
• - makes themselves feel better by degrading others
• Act like a cheerleader or coach
• Helping someone and lots of communication will often yield productivity and loyalty 
• Affirm people, reassure them 
• Resist the temptation to constantly "fix" something about them 

(Ephesians 4:29 The Scriptures 1998+)  Let no corrupt word come out of your mouth, but only such as is good for the use of building up, so as to impart what is pleasant to the hearers.

(1 Thessalonians 5:11 The Scriptures 1998+)  Therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, as indeed you do.

It is easy to find faults in someone, but resist. Instead focus on their strengths. Encourage them to do well, instead of pointing out how they did wrong. This is especially important for the relationship with our spouses and children. These are the the most important relationships we have, it would be extremely hurtful to be belittled by someone you care so much about. If yo don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

The Betraying Tongue - Day 13 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

• A betrayer divulges info in breach of a confidence
• Gives information to the "enemy"
• Commits relational treason by violating the trust someone has placed in them
• Strive to be a trustworthy person whom others can depend upon to guard their private information
• Do not be tempted by bribery to betray someone 
• - Delia and Judas were both bribed when they betrayed 

(Matthew 27:3-4 TLV)  Then Judah, His betrayer, saw that Yeshua had been condemned. Feeling remorse, he brought the thirty silver pieces back to the ruling kohanim (priests)  and elders,  (4)  saying, “I’ve sinned, betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What’s that to us? You see to it yourself!”

(Psalms 41:9 The Scriptures 1998+)  Even my own friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

(Psalms 55:12-13 The Scriptures 1998+)  (12)  It is not an enemy who reproaches me – That I could bear; Nor one who hates me who is making himself great against me – Then I could hide from him.  (13)  But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my friend.

We need to keep our friendships. We do not need to become the enemy of our friends by betraying them. Even Yahshua who was righteous had close friends betray him.

(Matthew 6:14-15 The Scriptures 1998+)  (14)  “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father shall also forgive you.  (15)  “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive your trespasses.

If you find yourself being betrayed by a friend, we are still called to forgive them.

The Meddling Tongue - Day 12 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

• Seek personal info directly from the person
• Are you genuinely concerned or just plain curious?
• Even if a person has given you a pass, still be careful to go there
• - pray before asking for information
• Do you meddle to try to control things for your own desired objectives?
• Or are you genuinely concerned for their sinful state?
• Pray the Rouach Kodesh (Holy Spirit) would convict them
• If you do not know something concrete as evidence then when you seek information you are meddling 

(Proverbs 26:17 The Scriptures 1998+)  A passer-by meddling in a strife not his own Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.

 (1 Thessalonians 4:11 GNB)  Make it your aim to live a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to earn your own living, just as we told you before.

May Yahweh give us discernment in knowing when we are to express concern as our brother's keeper, and when to not mettle.

The Gossiping Tongue - Day 11 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

• Gossip is idle or malicious talk about the personal affairs of another
• Gossiping can lower your sense of self worth
• Catch yourself before harm happens 
• Why do you do it?
• - Attention?
• - Envy?
• - To feel superior
• Make it a point to abstain  

(Proverbs 18:8 ERV)  People love to hear gossip. It is like tasty food on its way to the stomach.

Staying away from gossip is something you have to be intentional about, because as it reads - gossip is "tasty." You will be tempted to listen to the gossip, and may even be tempted to take part it in, but resist. You need to stand up for righteousness. You need to be the shining light for righteousness in the face of gossip. 

(Matthew 5:16 RNKJV)  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

The Slandering Tongue - Day 10 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

• Slanders are people who make malicious, false, or even true statements about other with the intent of damaging the reputation, character or good name
• Spout detracting remarks
• Often because the person envy's or has pain from being hurt from them 
• Some people are insecure and easily threatened and feel the need to slander their competition to secure their own 
• Yahweh has secured our destiny and has promised to avenge all wrongs against you
• No need to rely on your own means

(Proverbs 10:18 The Scriptures 1998+)  He who hides hatred has lying lips, And he who sends out a slander is a fool.

We have to be careful about saying slanderous statements about people, especially on social media. That post will be seen by many people, and every person who sees it now has a negative vision of the person you slandered. Now every time they think of that person they think of the negative thing you said. Even jokes are slander. Every time someone reads that comment, that is another sin against your neighbor.

(Proverbs 30:10 The Scriptures 1998+)  Do not slander a servant to his master, Lest he curse you, And you be found guilty.

Be careful what you say in the workplace. Do not slander a co-worker to the boss. You are ruining their livelihood. You might be stealing how they make money by ruining their reputation at work. The warning is that your co-worked may curse you and you be found guilty. It will come to bite you in the butt. 

(Ephesians 4:31-32 The Scriptures 1998+)  (31)  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and displeasure, and uproar, and slander be put away from you, along with all evil.  (32)  And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.

The Self-Depreciating Tongue - Day 9 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

Self-Depreciation is:

• When you think or speak of yourself as being of little or no worth and thereby minimizing the value of what you have to offer.
• A rejection of the word of Yahweh which says we can do all things through Messiah who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13)

Satan seeks to take us to one extreme to another Boastful <-----------> Bashful

• What you call yourself is only what is important
• - Let yourself be empowered by positive thoughts about yourself
• - Thoughts of discouragement are of the Adversary 
• We can't be defined by our experience or circumstance
• We must reject the spirit of inadequacy

(Exodus 4:10-12 HRB)  And Moses said to YAHWEH, O YAHWEH, I am not a man of words, either from yesterday or the third day, nor since You have been speaking to Your bondslave. For I am heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue.  (11)  And YAHWEH said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the dumb, or the deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Is it not I, YAHWEH?  (12)  And now go, and I will be with your mouth, and will teach you what you shall speak.

Moses said a self-depreciating comment about his speaking. What did Yahweh say,  I made you, I will be with you to teach you how to speak. The same goes for us in our inadequacy. Yahweh will teach you to do better. Yahweh can make all things happen. And it will be for His Name Sake. Yahweh uses our weakness so that His Name will be made strong.

Next time you feel tempted to say a self-depreciating comment about yourself. Say instead. I may not be good at ____ but by the power of Yahweh I will be able to. And recite "I can do all things through Messiah; the One giving me strength. (Philippians 4:13 HRB)"

The Boasting Tongue - Day 8 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

• Boasting implies that your good fortune is a result of your own efforts
• Whatever skills or talents Yahweh has given you are for His Glory

(Proverbs 27:1-2 The Scriptures 1998+)  (1)  Do not boast of tomorrow, For you do not know what a day brings forth.  (2)  Let another man praise you, And not your own mouth – A stranger, and not your own lips.

(1 Corinthians 15:10 HRB)  But by the grace of YAHWEH I am what I am, and His grace which was toward me has not been without fruit, but I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of YAHWEH that is within me.

All glory belongs to Yahweh. We should not boast ourselves.

The Manipulating Tongue - Day 7 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

• Manipulation is crafty use of the tongue and a self-perpetuation vice 
• - in order to achieve an objective
• Tactics of a manipulating tongue
• - guilt trips 
• - portraying as innocent 
•  - "suffering victim"
• Discernment needs to be used to detect manipulation 
• Manipulators loose all credibility when they get caught
• That person would be judged as having ulterior motives
• Those people need to be confronted
• Manipulation is the practice of the Adversary 

(Genesis 3:1 The Scriptures 1998+)  And the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which YHWH Elohim had made, and he said to the woman, “Is it true that Elohim has said, ‘Do not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

(Job 5:8-13 The Scriptures 1998+)  (8)  But as for me, I would seek El, and I would submit my case to Elohim,  (9)  who is doing great and unsearchable deeds, innumerable wonders,  (10)  who is giving rain on the earth’s face, and is sending waters on the field’s face;  (11)  to set the lowly on high, and those who mourn shall be lifted to safety,  (12)  thwarting the schemes of the crafty, so that their hands do not work effectively;  (13)  catching the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of schemers are swept away.

Job 5:8-13 is a warning to the manipulators. Yahweh will thwart your manipulative schemes. We do not want our behavior to be similar to the Adversary. We need to be on guard and test every action to the Will or Torah of Yahweh. Yahweh will not lead you into a trap. Follow His commands and you will not be tricked by a manipulator. If you find yourself being tempted into crafting your own will. Be warned Yahweh will cause your plan to go awry. Yahweh cannot be tricked. Do not trick others.  

Proverbs 4:24-27 RNKJV  Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.  (25)  Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.  (26)  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.  (27)  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

The Argumentative Tongue - Day 6 "30 Days to Taming Your Tongue"

Traits of an Argumentative Person:

• Directly Resists anyone's view point that is different 
• Stay on alert to find anything they can discuss that will get someone defensive 

2  Types
  1)  Grew up with arguments as a pattern or a way of life
  2) They quarrel to support their own self worth - defensive in order to build self esteem

• People's minds are changed through observation not argument 
• A person who quarrels will start another argument when they have no more material  
• They resort to personal attacks when they have no logical points left

As a person of faith we need to disagree without being disagreeable. Remain loving

• Say okay that's your opinion 
• It costs nothing to respect an opinion 
• People who don't like quarreling will avoid talking to quarrelers
• It is too stressful for them to walk on egg shells trying to limit conversations to not debate 

(Proverbs 20:3 GNB)  Any fool can start arguments; the honorable thing is to stay out of them.

(2 Timothy 2:24 The Scriptures 1998+)  And a servant of the Master should not quarrel but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

 (Proverbs 21:19 ERV)  It is better to live alone in the desert than with a quick-tempered wife who loves to argue.

(Proverbs 19:13 HRB)  A foolish son is a ruin to his father, and a wife's quarreling a never ending dripping.

(Proverbs 25:24 ERV)  It is better to live in a small corner of the roof than to share the house with a woman who is always arguing.

(Proverbs 13:10 ERV)  Pride causes arguments, but those who listen to others are wise.

(Titus 3:2, 9-11 - The Scriptures 1998+)  (2)  not to slander anyone, not to be quarrelsome, to be gentle, showing all meekness to all men. .... (9)  But keep away from foolish questions, and genealogies, and strife and quarrels about the Torah, for they are unprofitable and useless.  (10)  Reject a divisive man after the first and second warning,  (11)  knowing that such a one has been perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.

Above all else we need to be loving. When you love someone you let them have their own opinion, and do not try to convince them of yours. We can validate other opinions without agreeing with them. We need to take the warning from Titus and do not argue about matters of Torah. We need to have love in giving knowledge. We can give someone information about our religious beliefs without arguing. We have to be respectful, and kind.
