I have written on idle words before, but a deeper understanding on how idle words affect many of us to the point that I have fallen victim of it so many times, I got to know that God Himself really doesn't like idle words [to say it in a modest way].
Jesus made it clear that there isn't any need to swear to establish your point, where He further said in Matthew 5:37 "But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one." In other words, if you say you would be at a place by a particular time, let your actions follow the words you said exactly, and that is your 'yes' being your 'yes' or your 'no' being your 'no'.
Again, Jesus said in Matthew 12:36-37, "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. ³⁷For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
What Jesus made us understand is that words are to enact action, and these actions fall in line specific to the words we say. The actions do not go outside what you say. For instance, when God said in Genesis 1, in the creation story. As God said, "Let there be light" light manifested exactly as the words commanded. The light was the exact strength and manner God had spoken the light to be. These words weren't idle, as they didn't fall to the ground, they had a purpose, and they were fulfilled.
In like manner, when we speak words, our actions should follow exactly what we say. Lies for instance don't follow what we say, therefore, they are idle words. When we say we would do a thing, and don't follow exactly how we said we said it, [which includes keeping to time], they become idle words, because our words didn't have a purpose.
Are you aware that there are Spiritual forces behind all what we say to ensure anything we say fall in line, these are ministering Spirit, otherwise known as angels. You can see a glimpse of it when Daniel prayed, (ref.: Daniel 10:12). Words were said as prayer, the angels looking at the face of God ensured the words fell in line with what Daniel said. So, when God said let there be light, whatever things was needed for the light to be ensured it fell in line with what you said.
To us here on earth, angels ensure what we say come to pass, and this is granted by looking at the face of God, who gives them the go ahead.
We miss certain blessings of God, just because our actions didn't correspond with what we said. The angels bring from the spirit whatever is necessary to for our words to come to pass at the exact way we said it. But by deviating is to miss out what we spoke out, making our words idle.
I'm sure many of you reading this seem surprised right? But these are true, and the summary of all these is that we should keep to our words, as Jesus said, let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no' be 'no', and in so doing, our words aren't idle, but have a purpose that is being fulfilled.
We may not be as accurate as God is, but if things are to change let the receiving party be aware of any changes made quickly, so that you still fall in line with the latest development.
God will judge every idle word, because they were spoken carelessly, maybe as a joke with no purpose, or words we didn't abide by. God will judge our words because words are authority and should not come back void. Every word is a command, don't forget this, and you can't command things and later say, when did I say that? Or I don't need it. That's how idle words are implied.
So, what words are you saying?
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
