29 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. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. - Eph 4:29-30 (KJV)
What we say out of our mouths, speak either life or death (Proverbs 18:21). Our words are so very important, and we need to realize that what we say, is what we will have. If we speak evil (death) out of our mouths, that is what we will get. You must speak what you want, and keep all your words positive, or your words will open the door to the devil, and he comes only to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). God created this whole universe by speaking His Words out of His mouth (Genesis 1), and we are made in His image (Genesis 1:27), and our words affect this world around us. We should speak only words that edify others or as Peter wrote telling us to speak the Oracles of God (1 Peter 4:11).
The Holy Spirit is a person, and He can be grieved. When a born again Christian receives the Holy Spirit, it is then sealed within him, so that if we sin, it does not corrupt our new spirits. If we do not follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, it will grieve Him. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit can send a born again Christian to Hell, as Jesus said it was the unforgivable sin (Matthew 12:31-32). Read “New Revelations” on our web site to see an example of this happening. All Christians need to follow the commands of the Holy Spirit to assure their continued salvation (Hebrews 5:9). God does not save us to just be saved and stuck, but we are to follow the commands that Jesus gave us in His Word, and God will lead us through the Holy Spirit in what He expects us to do. Praise God for His Word!
