Spirit-Controlled Tongue & My Mind vs. My Flesh -- David L. & Alan T. -- January 18, 2026
Summary
The speaker emphasizes the critical importance of controlling one's tongue, drawing heavily from Proverbs 15, which highlights the power of speech. He connects this to the filling with the Holy Spirit, noting that the initial manifestation of the Spirit was upon the tongues of the apostles. Furthermore, the speaker discusses the tension between the 'new man' (mind) and the 'flesh' (sinful self) using Romans 7, asserting that justification through Christ provides a clean record regardless of current failures.

The speaker emphasizes that the control of the tongue is the ultimate test of one's spirituality, drawing parallels between the tongues of fire at Pentecost and the warning against uncontrolled speech. He argues that faith without works, particularly the work of controlling one's speech, renders one's entire religion worthless, comparing it to a body without a spirit. The message urges listeners to guard their tongues, as they are the most important instrument the Holy Spirit intends to use for effective witness.
