Harsh Words
Have you ever been guilty of speaking to your wife or children more harshly than anyone else? Some people think that I should be able to act like a feel around my family. I have to ask you to think about it. Is that fair? You are supposed to love them the most and yet you treat them like you love them the least. If you think about it, it is unfair. It is kind of like when you are driving in a car when someone pulls out in from of you. The driver yells at the other driver or curses him. Did it do any good for the bad driver with the windows closed and their backs turned? Only the person in the front seat was subject to that outburst. They didn’t do anything. Is that fair?
Another thing I have to remind you of is that the harsh words that you might speak set your person into the course of action that line up with the words that you spoke. First of all, they have been proven scientifically that negative words and emotions are unhealthy for your physical body.
Speaking your words in faith aloud is called framing your world. You will be building a frame for your actions as you become doers of the Word. Think about the harsh words that you are saying to those you love. Do you really want them all to come to pass? (Rom 4:17… and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Do you really believe them? Another thing is I have heard people say, well, they should love me, why should I have to work at being so polite around them? Please, that is a poor excuse. The ones that you love deserve your effort at politeness more than anyone else. If a man told you that he was madly in love with you, then said to you what a dumb idiot you are, would you believe that he was madly in love with you?
We are instructed to live peaceably together. (Romans 12:18) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Harsh Words stir up anger and begin wars. (Proverbs 15:1) A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.(Proverbs 15:2) The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
It is important that we watch our words. (Ephesians 5:4) Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Words are important. They are what we live according to. What you say is what you get. (Matthew 4:4) But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Corrupt=means impairment of integrity. When you allow your words to be corrupted, you impair your integrity. (Ephesians 4:29) Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. You are commanded to only allow good words come forth from your mouth which will be found good for the use of edification and minister only grace to those you hear it. Harsh words never help.
When I was first married many years ago, the Lord led me to this scripture. (Ephesians 4:26) Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. You see, you will have differences of opinion, but differences can be expressed without anger, harshness, or rudeness. And if you do find your temper rising, be sure to forgive each other before you go to bed. Do not ever let it hang on and hang on. Let it go. Anger which is left to fester will turn to bitterness.
Unresolved anger between husband and wife can hinder prayers from being answered. (1 Peter 3:7) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Acting on the Word is critical, but re-acting properly is just as important. (1 Peter 3:8) Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. (1 Peter 3:9) Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
You reap what you sow. You sow the word of God in a courteous manner, then that is what you will reap.
In Him,
Prophetess Frances Lloyd

Personal Note to our precious subscribers: I want to give thanks to the Lord for all that He has done for us in recent weeks. I praise Him for His Healing touch in my abdomen where he healed and removed the mass that doctors had reported was definitely there before the surgery and gone after they got in there to operate. I thank the Lord that I am cancer free according to the promises of God and the surgeon’s tests
I thank God that He has provided for all our financial needs these weeks that I have been fighting this illness and going through this major surgery and difficult recovery. I thank Him for healing more each day my incision which had burst open just after the staples came out. Praise God, after only four weeks it is already half way closed up. When it started it was several inches long and five inches deep. It has closed more than halfway already. It is my understanding that it can take a year or more to heal normally. With God’s help it is only a few weeks! The doctors recommend bed rest for a few more weeks to allow this to completely recover from all this. I thank God for His continual help in meeting this budget and any extra expenses incurred each month. This month in addition to the medical expenses and regular bills, our main computer went down. The mother board was fried. Praise God, because of God’s faithfulness, it is now replaced. The Lord supernaturally supplied us a new computer so you won’t miss your daily Rhema of encouragement. Agree with us that we will be able to retrieve all of the information from the old computer. We still have to maintain monthly budgets plus extras from this physical battle. If you would like to help with this, please use www.PayPal.com or write Frances Lloyd, 211 Northgate, Waxahachie, Tx 75165.
It is our privilege to pray over each of your prayer requests. The word says that “if any two shall agree,” it will be done for them by my father which is in heaven. We are here to agree with you that the perfect will of God be accomplished in all of your needs according to His promises. Feel free to send in your prayer requests.
