Psalm 140-141, And the inclination of the heart (Additional studies: Psalms Book Five (107-150) Index of Studies)
Evil words are a sort of a key to unlock the heart to incline toward and delight in evil deeds. And where do evil words ultimately come from? They are whispered in the ear by the evil one, by spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places, so that they first appear in the register of our minds as a thought or statement. It is important to pay attention to the thoughts that cross the register of our minds, for not all of them originate in our own hearts! Some of them are planted there, cleverly, craftily, laid as snares to trip us up, if we accept that thought uncritically without comparing it to the plumb line of the truth of God’s word. When we recognize an evil word going across the register of our minds, we can take that thought captive and make it obey Christ, by saying, “Whoa! I reject that thought as evil and a falsehood; I do not accept it as truth or agree with it or receive it, and it must exit my mind now in the mighty name of Jesus!”
