Rule number 1 in spiritual warfare.
Do not make any statements
that you will not or cannot honor.
Because just as sure as the devil hates God
and God hates the devil.
In the spirit realm...
You will be required to walk your own talk.
And honor your own talk with your own walk.
And failure to do so will greatly
reduce your standing and welfare in the spirit.
Hence the rule...
the less you say
(especially to them who are superior
and greater in spirit than you)
the better you will fair.
This is why Jesus
said this to anyone
who would hear Him...
Matthew 12:37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
