“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Song of Solomon 4: 11 Your lips, O my spouse, Drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue; And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Hallelujah
The Changes in the Lips – Good Lips – Bad Lips
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated on in the past days we meditated regarding the tongue which speaks good things and the tongue which speaks bad things. After all our previous sinful traditions and habits are changed God becomes a new tongue for us and creates a new image which is God’s image for us, and through that creation God gives us the Spirit of adoption and blesses us and makes us a vessel of blessing and God chooses us. And God dwells in us and does his work from us and glorifies the name of God. Our God has sealed us for this.
For God to touch our tongue and to make it into a new tongue, God must first prepare our lips for him.
That is why, in Isaiah 6: 5 – 7 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”
This is because Isaiah saw a vision of God and submitted his lips in the presence of God. Then God touched his lips and removed the iniquity and he says that the sin is purged. In this manner when we read this itself let us submit our lips to God. We will be able to experience how God deliver us also in the same way and saves us.
Now let us meditate on the good lips and bad lips and let us all leave the bad lips, and will we come forward to receive the new lips (good lips)?

Such good lips should be manifested in us. When God touches our lips first, the tongue is made new and is made holy. When the tongue becomes holy our mouth will change into God’s mouth and we will speak things concerning God. When our lips, tongue and mouth manifest in that manner it will become the rod in our hands. Through this we will be able to get the deliverance of our soul and we can become the adopted sons of Christ.
