Jes or Jez/ gee …..for Jesus.

Darn..... for Damn

Shoot …..sh..

Freak'n ...Fu.....

And this ungodly list goes on and on.

Here's a real eye opener....

Matthew 12:34-37 KJV (Jesus)

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Our Language, Important To The Lord:

Exodus 16:7-12 KJV (The Lord hears Complaints)

7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of The Lord; for that He heareth your murmurings against The Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?

8 And Moses said, This shall be, when The Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that The Lord heareth

your murmurings which ye murmur against Him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against The Lord.

9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before The Lord: for He hath heard your murmurings.

10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of The Lord appeared in the cloud.

11 And The Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am The Lord your God.

Exodus 20:7 KJV

Thou shalt not take the name of The LORD thy God in vain; for The LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.

Leviticus 19:12 KJV

And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God:

I am The LORD.

Job 2:9,10 KJV

9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse

God, and die.

10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh.

What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?

In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

Psalm 17:3 KJV

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried

me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Psalm 34:1 NKJV

I will bless The Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Ezekiel 35:13,14 KJV

words against Me: I have heard them.

14 Thus saith The Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee

desolate.

Matthew 5:34-37; 44 KJV

34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

35 Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of The Great King.

36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Matthew 15:11,18-20 KJV

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

20 These are the things which defile a man..."

Luke 6:28 KJV

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

I Corinthians 15:33 KJV

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Ephesians 4:29 KJV

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.

Ephesians 5:3,4 KJV

3 "...let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Philippians 3:20 KJV

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for The Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ:

Titus 2:7,8 KJV

7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,

8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

James 3:2-12 NLT

2 Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.

3 We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its

mouth.

4 And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong.

5 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire.

6 And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.

7 People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish,

8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison.

9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God.

10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!

11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?

12 Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.

James 5:12 KJV

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

I Peter 1:15,16 KJV

15 But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Jude 1:4,10,14-18 KJV

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, The Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,

15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.

17 But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

18 how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.

Oh Lord...

Psalm 19:14 KJV

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Colossians 3:8,16,17 NLT

8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.

16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

17 And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of The Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God The Father.

Prayer:

Acts 4:12 KJV

Romans 6:23 KJV

“For the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 10:9l, 10 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man
