Hate This Evil (Part 4)
Anchor Scripture
Proverbs 8:13 KJV
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
The last evil you are to hate as a child of God, which is a testament that you are walking in the fear of the Lord, is TO HATE THE FROWARD MOUTH.
What is a froward mouth? It is a mouth that speaks perversion and twisted speech. These are people who talk crookedly. They speak things that do not bring glory to God. They pervert truth by twisting it.
Why are you adding to what you were told to make matters worse? You don’t fear the Lord. There are believers who know how to magnify things; they know how to add evil to matters to make them worse.
Why do you do these things even with the Holy Spirit in your life? That was the way of your old man, and you are now born again and should renew your mind to stop speaking in this way because it doesn't showcase you as a believer who is walking in the fear of the Lord.
Say only what you are told, and don't add or subtract. Amen.
Prayer
Thank you, righteous Father, for teaching me the way of righteousness and how I ought to behave in life to reveal Christ to my world. Thank you, Father. Amen.

Hate This Evil (Part 3)
I want to show you from our theme scripture the third evil you are to hate if the fear of the Lord is working in your life. Solomon calls it THE EVIL WAY.
Hate This Evil (Part 2)
You can’t claim to walk in the fear of the Lord and not be distant from some evil. In fact, the level of hate you show towards some evil will reveal the level of the fear of the Lord you have in you.
Hate This Evil (Part 1)
I grew up in my faith, loving this verse of Scripture from Solomon. The Spirit of the Lord used this verse to tame me and raise the banner of the fear of the Lord in my life. Through it, He gave me a lens with which I view and judge things.
