If you speak evil of others, even your dreams will be defiled. “These FILTHY DREAMERS defile the flesh, despise dominion, and SPEAK EVIL of dignities” (Jude 8). The Word of God therefore warns, “Speak evil of no man” (Tit 3:2). It is amazing to note that the holy archangel Michael, while disputing with Satan, does not “bring against him a railing accusation” (Jude 8,9). If the holy angel himself does not speak accusingly to the devil, how careful we should be not to speak evil of any man!
It is the devil who is the “accuser of the brethren.” “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night” (Rev 12:10). From this text we realize that accusing the brethren is an evil spirit directly from Satan. Once this spirit goes out of us, we can enjoy God’s salvation, His strength, the kingdom of God (righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost), and the power of Christ, in our day–to-day life.
Dear reader, the tongue can influence the whole body. “If any man offend not in WORD, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the WHOLE BODY” (James 3:2). This points to the fact that YOU WILL NEVER BE PERFECT UNLESS YOUR TONGUE IS TAMED AND BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL.
