Two CANNOT walk together unless they are in agreement (Amos 3:3). You cannot have a united front with one person speaking life and the other speaking death. The Bible also warns against those who do harmful things then say it was only a joke. Our tongues control the power of life and death. That’s scriptural. Man’s ignorance of the Word is no excuse for failures in life. How can anyone expect God to bless something that they themselves keep cursing? There is no such thing as jesting in the Spirit. The Bible says God is not mocked and whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

There may be those in your sphere who often err on the side of ignorance even after knowing the command of the Lord, be in prayer for them, but do not align yourself with them for they are in darkness and they have received the spirit of rebellion for they refuse to control their tongue and when the door of destruction opens they cry foul, accuse God of ignoring them in their most desperate need and make an excuse for their poor choices. We have in life what we choose in life, it is NEVER God’s fault we have trouble. Jesus said He came to deliver us from trouble.

Each and every one of us has the power to control our own destiny by the decisions we make with our time, our talents and our mouths. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and we all need to be reminded sometimes to control what we say, what we think, and what we do. Thankfully, we have an advocate in Jesus and we can simply turn course after we acknowledge we spoke death by mistake instead of speaking life. The Bible says choose life, so just do it, choose to bless with your life and stop the curse of the mouth; nothing good can come from open rebellion against the Word of God.
