words


Matthew 12
What comes out of my mouth reflects the attitude of my heart. The fact that Jesus says we will have to give an account for every "idle" word spoken is terrifying. I need to take care with the words that I speak.

In this chapter there's a couple of passages about casting out demons (binding the strongman, one spirit bringing seven of his friends back to a clean house) that people use to form methods about how to pray for people, but I'm not really sure about how that works or even that I understand these passages. One thing is clear though, if Jesus heals you or clears something out, and you don't fill that space with Jesus, love and obedience for Him, then you're leaving yourself open for more of the original problem, if not worse.
