Watch/Keep/Guard your MOUTH and EARS…

12/11 DAILY EXHORTATION (Luke 11:3; Matt.6:11; Heb.3:13; 10:25)

How about a question from HEAVEN this 12/11 from the following 12:11?

Job 12:11 (KJB) Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

We talk a bunch about guarding our eyes (important) and what comes OUT of the mouth (imperative), but today’s focus passage, let’s guard what comes into our ears and mouth.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

God’s words are pleasant to those who please the Lord. God likens His word to meat and milk (Heb.5; 1 Pet.2:2), to honey (Psalms 19; 119:103), to bread (Matt.4:4; Luke 4:4)...

Folks have “itching ears” today to heap to themselves (hint hint) teachers (2 Tim. 4), They turn away (voluntarily) their ears from the truth, and SHALL BE TURNED (involuntarily and led captive by Satan’s will) unto FABLES (2 Tim.4).

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. PERIOD. And in every single time period.

You MUST try (test/prove) words. 1 Thess. 5:21 says to PROVE ALL THINGS. The noble (hint hint) Bereans searched the scriptures DAILY (Acts 17) to see whether those things were so (and God commended them even though they tested apostolic authority). It is the honour of a king (hint hint) to SEARCH OUT A MATTER (Prov. 25:2)…

The Bible commands us to approve things that are (hint hint) EXCELLENT (Romans 2:18; Philip. 1:10). Jesus said His sheep will HEAR HIS VOICE (John 10:16,27) and He said in John 18:37 “Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” Hebrews 5 teaches that if you exercise yourself in the meat of the word, you can DISCERN between good and evil. Tasting typifies DISCERNING.

You see, Isaac’s eyes grew dim in his old age. Rebecca concocted a plan to deceive the patriarch. She capitalized on a weakness of Isaac: loving a thing of this world. Matter of fact, the first mention of the word “love” is connected to Isaac who was said to “love” the savoury meat hunted by Esau. He also digested the deceitful words of Jacob at the time. Now, I understand God had a plan there (Secondary will of God), but this represents not TRYING WORDS and thereby tasting the meat of deceit.

Proverbs 20:17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

The Bible warns not to fellowship/sup with DEVILS or drink of the cup of DEVILS (1 Cor. 8). Since doctrines of devils are rampant today (1 Tim. 4), you had better start TRYING WORDS with Holy Ghost quickened ears on the same frequency of the word of God.

Like a radio, first you must TURN IT ON. Then you must TUNE IT IN. God is talking. Satan is talking. The world, the flesh, the devil are all screaming at you.

Will you TRY GOD’S WORDS and TASTE AND SEE that HE IS GOOD (Psalms 34:8) and spit out and stop your ears to the “voice of the stranger” (John 10)? –r <3
