Cussing

[jari]

Pray everytime those evil taughts come up. Saying "Thank you Jesus for your grace". Maybe we must also be sorry if there's some sin in our life that allows those attacks. Because if we never look for the root of the problem then we indeed do learn to pray to be washed in Jesus blood. I know that Jesus can give you a clean heart if you just pray about this.


(1Jn 4:4 KJVA) Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

He loves you very much and does want to help you.

 

[Maureen]

Sorry, I got the name wrong her, instead of my reply being to SavedByHim, I wrote to L.L forgive me, I'm sure your all much quicker than I and caught on as to who I was mean't to be sharing with.

Just wanted to put this right.

I know by experience that Jesus will bring us through if we only but let Him have control of the situation fully.
Leave it at the feet of Jesus, may sound easy enough in theory, but in practise is another matter.

I think it takes much giving in on our part, have your way Lord, but fully mean it.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Phllippians 4 v 13

The Promise

I made a promise to the Lord my God yesterday that I would never cuss again, God took the desire to drink from me months ago, I made a promise to him never to pick up another for as long as I live. I cannot break that promise. Same with anything in my life that I struugle with. I discipline myself this way, If I promise I MUST keep it. God Bless You.

I'm sorry-I must have not spoken very clearly what I am having problems with. I am NOT cussing out loud-it's cusswords coming into my head all the time....it's all in my head, not outloud.

Great idea about making a promise though!!

 

[Maureen]

Yes, i understood what you meant SavedbyHim, not audible.

Deuteronomy 23 v 21
When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

Ecclesiastes 5 v 4
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

Vows are serious when given to Almighty God, as Hannah vowed to give Samuel for all the days of his life, from he was weaned so she did.

I also made your vow sometime ago now, as in drink my husband angered me and of course satan jumped quickly in to make his point using me as his mouth piece.
How i wept bitterly before God that night I really knew what it was like to be broken, but forgiveness is sweet and if we realize our sins and pour out ourselves before the crucified one He is willing and just to forgives us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
He has kept me since.

 

[Trishann]

Savedbyhim, I would be careful about making promises to your Heavenly Father especially when you are having trouble with this issue. If for some reason after you make a promise and slip from it, you will feel more condemn. Some people have very strong will power and others need more grace from our Heavenly Father. I hope you will keep seeking and asking the Lord to give you the strength and help you to overcome this battle in your mind, He will help you Savedbyhim.

Your sister in Christ, Trish

Hey Saved By Him!

Well, here are my two cents.

You used to swear. A lot, but by the grace of Jesus Christ, you've stopped. Now you just think it as oppsoed to say it. That's a positive step from where I see it. God has given you the STRENGTH to audibly expressing it. Definately a positive there. Let's just keep praying (I'll say a prayer for you) that it keeps going in the right direction.

P.S. Before I got saved, I used to swear like there was no tomorrow. "F" this and "F" that. God has really helped me with this, and it's amazing how easy He made it for me to kick the habit. Amen!

 

[Maureen]

Ecclesiates 5 v 5
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

This was the particular scripture I was thinking about, I agree with what Trishann says, and it is not to be taken upon lightly vowing to God, it is very sacred as are all things partaning to Christ.

it would be better to pray for Jesus to undertake for you and He will, as our requests line up with His own will He surely will give the grace needed.

I know when I got saved I had no interest in reading at all, I remember telling the Lord this was a major issue for me as I had no interest to read His word, I think it was only a week or less when I found my nose stuck in it and was reading spiritual books also, He enabled me to overcome my problem as He knew it would have kept me back in my walk with Him, therefore it was in line with His will.

It is only for spiritual reading though books and the Bible, I just couldn't read anything else, no interest, I thank my Heavenly Father for answered prayer.

 

[ephesians4_23]

I know where you are coming from. It happened to me in the past, and sometimes it still happens, as far as in my mind. It pops in before I know it. I don't want to do it, and I know that God knows that. I have genuine repentance (I hate it) and I have godly sorrow (I know it hurts God).
Has God directed you to do anything specific? It may be that because you are ashamed and don't want to share with someone you know that you still haven't conquered it. There is good to be found with accountability. If you talk about it with a trusted, godly friend or a biblical counselor or a pastor, you are held accountable when they ask how you are doing. Let the Light shine on this issue for you, and perhaps that is the break in the stronghold for you.
We can control our thoughts.

2 Corinthians 10: 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ.

God is really good, because He does more than tell us not to do something. He shows us ways to change. Replace a bad habit with a good one.

Ephesians4: 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Okay, I know you're not speaking it, but you are hearing it (in your mind.) So when a curse comes to mind, think what caused it. Did a person cause it? A situation? Be specific with yourself. And when you have determined what it was, ask forgiveness from God for it. At this point, take the time to replace that curse with a praise or an encouragement, even if it's only for your own listening. Did someone cut you off on the road? If you cussed, repent, ask forgiveness, and say, possibly out loud, "Thank You, Lord, that You protected me and I didn't get hit." Now you are focusing on the good.

Philippians 4: 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Hi SavedByHim,

Just found your topic. I have the same problem. Before those words didn't bother me very much. But I'm a Christian since March this year and now horrible thoughts about GOD and our Lord Jesus also come into my head. I don't want to think those things, but they just pop up.
I'm getting baptised this Sunday and also about baptism sometimes cussing words keep popping up.
I always apologize to GOD for those thoughts. I already thought Satan must put those cussings into my head, making me doubt. But I think as soon as you realise that these are not your own thoughts, he's not going to get you.

 

[Trishann]

Sometimes we can't help what pops in our head but it is our choice what we do with it when it happens.

Watching and rebuking those thoughts are a starter. Or maybe God will lead
you to quote a scripture, or other ways to go about it. Praying and reading the word of God will direct you in the right direction for you. God will help you in the way that you can be help. God is greater in you than he that is in the world. Don't be bully that you don't have the power of God to overcome because you do, you are a child of God.

Your sister in Christ, Trish

 

[Maureen]

How are you Saved by Him?

Has there been any improvement?

It cant be nice for you, I know if I hear a Curse word come from the TV I take myself away, I'd possibly be reading while husband watched it, he tries to lower the sound but I'd rather just not hear it.

What we take in, comes out.

I never did understand the need for it, but it lurks around much, it must please satan too.

I hope things are changed for you, for the better, Jesus does not want our minds in turmoil.
2 Timothy 1 v 7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

 

[Trishann]

Maureen same here, my husband backslide for many years and he watched these movies that every other word was a cuss word. I could not tell him what to do but I politely told him I just can't stand listening to it and I can't stay and watch it, neither will I allow our children to listen to it.

That is why I am compassion about someone having trouble with cuss words because my daughter heard it sometimes and not just at home. She became a Christian at a young age but thought she was going to hell because the words (cussing words) sometimes were in her mind. Time after time I reassure her sometimes things will enter the mind because you hear it and sometimes can't get away from it: but you are to chose what to do with it and bring it into obedience of God's will. And ask God to help you to guard over your mind, thoughts and heart.

Just about 5 years ago my husband gave his heart back to the Lord. I prayed for so many years and so did my daughter, we had a prayer box and we write our prayers and pray over it and put in this prayer box. Prayers works and yes sometimes it seem delay but God is faithful.

Your sister in Christ, Trish

 

[Maureen]

Trish
I am positively delighted for you and your daughter for the return of your Husband to the fold again, I loved the Prayer box idea.

My husband goes with me every Thursday and Sunday nights to church has done for the past 2 years but its not when we think they should get saved its in the Lord's time, and only He knows when the time is right, His timing is perfect.

I detest those films which have bad language and blaspheming God in them, I do not watch them, I end up taking my book elsewhere.
Oh for when my husband too joins the fold, sometimes I try to think what it may be like, can you enlighten me a little, as you have been in both worlds?
Or do I imagine it through rose tinted glasses?
As i've been reading a book the second time around, called 'When he doesn't believe' and by some of the stories in it it would seem like my waiting time could well be expecting to get a mountain and instead receiving a mole hill, bit of a dissapointment to say the least.

I know the man is supposed to be the head, therefore lead in the Christian walk, but if the wife was saved a good while before him then he comes does that make for a differance, is she expected to be the leader, not in God's eyes I know but between the husband and wife?

I suppose it's differant with each married couple, I had hoped mine would be this great lead and I would follow, I know we would both look to the Lord for His leading but I mean in the home in biblical matters, perhaps I best not get my hopes to high.

 

[Trishann]

Maureen, as far as your husband when he get save, he may have to grow a bit, it depends on how God will work with Him. And again maybe the Lord will speak to him quickly about it.

Maureen yes you may be on different spiritual growth and may be seems a little frustrating at times but that is a learning process too.
You have to go before God about situations that may come up and ask the Lord how to handle it.

Don't be discourage because God will show you. Maureen I think every women think like you do including me. But you know, I don't think we ever
stop learning.

I have learned the things that I am weak my husband is strong and vica-versa. Its together encouraging one another and praying for one another.

Maureen I do believe God will help you, so be of good courage.

Your sister in Christ, Trish

 

[Maureen]

Thank you sister Trish
for your encouragement.

Your so right, we never stop learning till we are either called home or the Lord returns, shichever comes first, till then it's a total learning and following the Master.

I have just recently started icluding the scripture Psalm 51 v 10
'Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me,'
into my prayer time.

I know I perhaps shouldn't even be mentioning this, I would just like to share it with a brother or sister in Christ, because I do know changes are taking place in me and I know it's due to this scripture, as it's only since I've started to include it things are changing.
It's been happening slowly, but I know its happening.

The Lord is taking me somewhere i've not been before, it is beautiful, I just hope my husband also sees it, I wanted to talk with him about it but I fear he won't understand, so I haven't.

Theres a certain part of our marraige, without going into detail, and it's been suffering, I know the problem lies with me, but since taking this scripture and offering it up with a sincere heart, this area has much improved, as i've said Jesus is doing a work in me, for which I am so very thankfull.

Trish even down to your last line you wrote, thank you sister.

 

[Trishann]

Maureen I can truly understand about the Lord is doing something in your life and it is beautiful. Just your yearning for Him show that you Love the Lord very much and that the Lord has his hand over you.

Yes you are right that your Husband may not understand something that the Lord laid on your heart. This is more a material example but it can also applied to a spiritual level too.

A friend of ours told my husband about a job opening that was near our home. He was telling him about all the great things about it. I know it sound wonderful and mostly it was closer to our home to save on gas but I had such an uneasy feeling about it.
To be able to say this is why it is wrong I had no reason except that this uneasy feeling. My husband was going to take it and I could not talk him out of it.
So I started praying to the Lord about the job and ask the Lord if this is really not the job my husband put a hindrance against it, so the job won’t be open for him to take. Well that is exactly what happen.

Just yesterday he found out something about the job and he said, I am so glad I did not take it. Sometimes we do have to put it in God’s hand.
Maureen because you having some problems doesn’t mean it is your fault hun.
Sometimes only God can turn things around.

Your sister in Christ, Trish

 

[Trishann]

Hey Maureen I was reading Chad forum Etiquette and it said the contributors are asked to stay on topic. The topic is about cussing and I think it might gone off that subject because it brought up other thoughts.

Maybe if other thoughts are brought up maybe starting a new post will be more appropriate. Maureen I can assure you what you are going through,
it is not a strange thing. Well I guess I better get off the subject.

Your sister in Christ, Trish

 

[Maureen]

your right and I am making apologies for straying of the subject.

I need to come back though about your reply, I will open up a thread on this same field 'Ethics and Morality' under the title 'Keswick Teaching'

You'll understand why that title when you read it.

 

[beam]

Father God thank you for bringing my sister 'SavedByHim' to salvation and into a personal Holy righteous relationship with You. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth i come against every voice, sound, vibration or trigger aimed at my sister and shut it up and cancel it out, devil i call all your plots, plans, works and charges null and void and ineffective in her life in Jesus name. I close all demonic doors and by faith lock them right now and ask angels to take the keys and give it to Jesus, He knows whats to be done with them.

I declare your living Word from 2Corinthians 10:4 that our weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world rather these weapons have devine power to Demolish strongholds, so i use these devine weapons right now in Jesus name and utterly demolish every argument and pretension that has set itself up in my sisters' mind against the knowledge of God and i thank you that she has divine wisdom and understanding of how to (and does) take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ in Jesus name. Sister i declare over you that 'you have the mind of Christ, that you are above and not beneath, you are the head and not the tail, you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus who loves you and you are ABLE to do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you ,such as OVERCOME and CONQUER those rudely interupting thoughts - in Jesus name - amen

Just a tip, is your home clean? perhaps you have an ornament or picture (even on clothing) or jewelry that is allowing access to the evil one. Ask our Holy Spirit to open your eyes and guide you as you go through each room, if you have anything 'unclean' it will be revealed to you, burn it, (do not sell it or give it away) and then take the ashes off your property.

May God make you sooooo HOT for Him, you burn others as you walk past them and set them on fire for Jesus. I also confess over you that it is God who arms you with strength and makes your way perfect -Psalm 18:32

Lotsa love - beam
Jesus wants u for a sunbeam (or a laserbeam!!) LOL
