Our Lord sends out His people to speak His words of life and spirit. He sends out His “angels”….messengers…the true sayings of God….to the ears of all within the churches. Men will speak His words by repeating what they hear the Spirit of Truth ( the Breath of Truth) saying and we are to hear what the Spirit is saying and overcome. We are to hear and overcome.
Some will be full of wrath by what they will hear. They are to hear and overcome and with meekness receive the engrafted Word.
We are to overcome and not let wrath rule over our mouths….trampling down what we hear and doing despite the breath of grace that speaks for their own good. But, instead, we are to be quick to hear and slow to speak….slow to wrath. Don’t let the “fowls of the air” ….that is, evil words come flying out of the mouth….to devour what is sown within the heart. Fowls of the air = words. Think what “Twitter” represents.
Luke 8:4-5 KJV
(4) And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
(5) A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Let us hear and believe and be saved instead of giving in to our wrath and speaking evil words because of the pride within us.
Luke 8:11-12 KJV
(11) Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
(12) Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
The Word of God comes forth out of the mouth of those who speaks with the Spirit. Some will reject Him and will not receive His words.
John 12:47-48 KJV
(47) And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
(48) He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For we shall be judged by our own words in response to His words if we contend against the Word of God….the Seed. As He hears, He judges and His judgment is just.
Revelation 19:13-18 KJV
(13) And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
(14) And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
(15) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
(16) And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
All who will speak evil words (the “fowls” that fly in the midst of “heaven”…the air in which words travel to our ears) shall be judged by their own words. What comes out of the mouth is what defiles the "man". What evil "tweets" will continuously come out of the mouths of those who will reject His words?
(17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
(18) That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
They defile the flesh….for they speak evil of dignities that will come to speak the revealed Word of God to them. They will speak evil (fowls of the air) against what they will hear (the things they know not) thereby “corrupting” themselves….decaying, ruining, perishing, defiling the flesh of their own mortal bodies…. until they are removed from this earth so that their spirit may be saved. They will have gone in the way of Cain slaying their brothers with an evil tongue by disputing in evil against what they will hear as they “talk in the field”.
Jude 1:8-11 KJV
(8) Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
(9) Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
(10) But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
(11) Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
John 5:30 KJV
(30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
