BLESSED BY AVOIDING WOES

My Dear Precious Child, In one of David's songs related to woes, the words to the song stressed that he had cried out to Me and I had answered him. (Psalm 120) As a result, the words to the song appealed to Me to deliver the person singing the song from his own lying lips and deceitful tongue. He even addressed his own tongue by asking what should be given to it or what more could be done to it, calling it a deceitful tongue. He wondered if sharp arrows of a mighty warrior with glowing coals of the wood of a tree were efficient enough to take care of his deceitful tongue. (Psalm 120:1-4) He professed that woes were upon him, possibly from the seeds that he had sown in his own life by his yielding to his unruly tongue. He even compared his activities as having been influenced by barbarous, excessively cruel people, sensing terror on every side. (Psalm 120:5; Jeremiah 49:28-29) He confessed to having too long dwelled alongside people who hated peace. Even though he was for peace, he professed that when he spoke that his words were determined to seek war. (Psalm 120:6-7) He had been influenced by people who had lying lips. Though he intended to speak peaceful words, instead when they exited his mouth they were war-loving words because of the influence of the people who were around him. In the song, the lyrics quoted the words of Isaiah when he viewed the inner workings of My heaven. (Isaiah 6:1-5) He felt unworthy to have experienced what he was seeing, which was the angels praising Me and he observed that the posts of the door moved when I spoke. Isaiah professed in his vision that he was filled with self pity and woes, feeling undone and disconnected, because he was a man of unclean lips living among a group of people who also spoke from unclean lips, and he realized his sin because he was in My company, the Lord of Hosts. The song reviewed Isaiah's experience in the vision. One of the angels in heaven who was present took tongs and picked up a coal from My altar and then with his hand he touched Isaiah's lips, saying that I had touched his lips and so his iniquity was taken away and his sin was purged. Because his lips had been cleansed of deceitful words, Isaiah said that I had said that I had a need to send someone who would go for Him to minister to other people. Then he said that he had answered the challenge and said that he was available and his lips had been cleansed. So there was a volunteer, one who would tell the people that they heard his words but did not understand them, that they had seen My mighty works, but they did not perceive them. Therefore, because of their sins, they were ostracized from the other people and he told the people that I had kept a remnant of people. a tenth, and that they would be able to enjoy a new covenant in the future, speaking of the ministries of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 6:1-13) The song of David was sung by many people while on the way to celebrations, especially when the people were made conscious of their sins of speaking with lying lips and a deceitful tongue. So one of the main reasons for woes coming upon a person in his or her life on earth is because of his or her yielding to the temptation to speak words that make himself or herself to be at war with another person, even though in his heart he wants peace, like in the words to the song that was sung by David. Because his words had brought war instead of peace, he was condemned and filled with guilt for having spoken words which did not proceed from Me but proceeded from the devil's temptations. David knew the curses that had come upon people because of their lips and tongues. In Isaiah's experience, David knew the series of events which caused almost the entire tribe of people to lose their peace and engage in war, all because of the words of the authorities and the people who lied and yielded to the temptation from hell to seek war instead of seeking peace. Only when My children allow Me to cleanse their speech do they change their attitudes and seek peace instead of seeking war. Then there can be blessings instead of woeful curses in their lives on earth. Your Father of Peaceful Thoughts and Words
