Watch The Throne: The Battle For Words

I am a firm believer in calling a cat a cat, and a spade a spade, if you catch my drift. So when I see a devil adorned in bling he’s nothing more than a sparkly devil to me. Today, I write in utter disgust at the audacity of the enemy, and the power of seduction that he has blinded many with, in the arena of words. As I read the commentary about the new Jay-Z and Kanye West album, Watch The Throne, I am immediately queasy. Not, by those who give the commentary or the artists themselves, but at the blatant darkness that is being passed off as the next “in” form of light. People—especially saints—must be mindful of what we allow to flow through our eye and ear gates. The Bible beckons us to "guard our heart", as well as these other entrances (see Proverbs 4:20-27 ). Taking heed to this proclamation is direly important because once garbage enters your heart, it will leave your mouth. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). Moreover, if life isn’t flowing from your internal well—24-7-365—then death is the only other alternative.

Our words are a hot commodity today. Satan doesn’t want your stuff, he wants your words. Why, because he knows that you will have what you say (see Mark 11:23-24 & Job 22:28). And misery loves company; therefore, he wants to establish death in your life so that it will eventually lead to eternal damnation. Hey, don’t take my word for it; check the scriptures for yourself because it’s all there. It’s time to say what you mean and mean what you say, because this battle of words is a life or death situation. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverb 18:21)!

Understand that on Judgment Day God won’t accept what you meant in the place of what you said. We will all give an account of every careless word (see Matthew 12:36). Do you really want to get in front of the Creator fumbling and at a lost for the right words? God accepts no excuses. Holiness is His standard; so either do away with unholy things and play for His team, or be prepared to do battle with Him. But, do understand that the Messiah holds an undefeated title. Going toe to toe with Him is death. Period.

Mark my words: choose your words wisely!
