And all the children of Israel murmured…Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey?” (Numbers 14:1-3). The Israelites didn’t say those things directly to God, of course. They mostly just murmured in their tents (Deuteronomy 1:27). But God was listening to them nonetheless, and He responded by saying to Moses: "I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me. Say to them, “As I live,” says the Lord, “just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in” (Numbers 14:27-30, "NKJV"). Talk about serious repercussions! The unbelieving words those Israelites spoke in their tents cost them the Promised Land! As believers, we don’t want that to happen to us. We don’t want to let the devil get hold of our tongues and trick us into talking doubt and unbelief. We don’t want to speak faith-filled words when our Christian friends are listening and then say, when we’re lying in bed at night with our husband or wife talking about the problem, “What are we going to do? This situation is hopeless. There’s no way out.” God hears those words! He doesn’t just hear what we say in prayer, or the faith confessions we make in church. He’s listening all the time and He’s obligated to take our words seriously because it’s spiritual law. It’s written in the Bible: What we say determines the course of our lives (James 3:4-5). Let’s make that law work for us and not against us. Let’s live as God’s dearly beloved children and walk in the fullness of His BLESSINGS by taking our words as seriously as He does. Let’s get the words of the world out of our mouths, talk like citizens of God’s kingdom and experience days of heaven on earth! V 30 : BVOV
