“Whenever you hear someone use the Lord’s name in vain
It’s a good idea to bow your head andsay silently:
’Blessed be the name of the Lord’” - Patrick Neve.../
A member posted this in a different thread and it set my mind to thinking. I didnt want to sidetrack the other thread so I'll just start one and ramble on over here, lol.
Life and death are in the power of the Tongue (Proverbs 18:21). So Mr. Patrick Neve strikes me as profound. We must be careful of what we allow ourselves to say. We can speak Blessings and we can speak cursings (James 3:10). And if Jesus spoke the Universe into existance (an we are in Christ) then maybe our spoken words have more of a profound effect in the spirit realm than we give them credit for (diligence for)?
Well I didnt mean it, I was angry....too late you done cursed them? Whatever we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, right? If you wake up feeling poorly, don't say I feel terrible today! Or else feeling terrible may become your norm?! How about instead saying, I have better days ahead of me?!
So if you hear someone and then that triggers you to say an extra Blessed be the Name of the Lord you may have just cancelled out their curse? (So Bless the Lord's Name Twice!) Ok. Now we come to my question.
Luke 24:54-62
54 Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, and Peter was following at a distance. 55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. 56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” 57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” 59 And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” 62 And he went out and wept bitterly.../ESV
So Peter denied the Lord three times. By the spoken word to those people! What can Peter do in this situation? He did not know, so he wept. Did Jesus do it for him?
John 21:15-17
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.../KJV
Peter said three times, I Love you, Lord. Peter denied Jesus three times. Was this Jesus's way of encouraging Peter to cancel out denying Him? I think, maybe! Sure could be. What do you think?
