Brother Michel Lankford

Abba (יהוה YAHWEH); have pity upon me according to Your Unfailing Love. I humbly confess to You, that through my own lack of diligence, and through my own lack of vigilance, and through my own self-indulgence, I have not always carefully guarded what I allow through my Mouth Gates. 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak things which were not always loving, either toward יהוה, or loving toward my neighbor. 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak things which were not always Faithful, toward יהוה, or that were not helpful to building my own faith, nor were they helpful to building the faith of my neighbor who listens to my words. 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak things which were not always 100% Truthful, according to the Torah of יהוה. My words have not always been 100% agreeable with OBEYING Your Laws, Commandments, Instructions, and Precepts in Your Word. I have not always used my mouth to encourage others to obey You, as much as I could have encouraged them. 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to murmur, fuss, grumble and complain about the way that I wish things were, instead of being grateful for Your provision, and protection, (Philippians 2:14; Philippians 4:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19). 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak things which were not always 100% Glorifying to יהוה 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak things which were based on anger, gossip, slander or mocking against others. 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak things which I KNEW would NOT be encouraging, uplifting or edifying to build up the listener, (Ephesians 4:29-32). 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak things which for that moment made my religion WORTHLESS, because I did not faithfully exercise mouth control, (James 1:26). 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed my mouth to speak, when You wanted me to keep silent at the time. 

Through wickedness in the abundance of my own heart, I allowed myself to remain silent, when I should’ve opened my mouth, and allowed YHWH’s Words and Precepts to be flowing and pouring forth out of my lips; because I concerned myself too much about the acceptance of men, or avoiding uncomfortable confrontations. 

Abba (יהוה YAHWEH); have pity upon me according to Your Unfailing Love. I humbly confess to You, that through my own lack of diligence, and through my own lack of vigilance, and through my own self-indulgence, I have allowed my flesh, the sinful world, and the devil to have way too much access and control of the Gateway of my mouth. I have sinned against You, in all these various ways with my mouth. Please forgive me, save me, deliver me, and set me free. 

Please wash every word that I have spoken, from the day that I could form words in my mind to this very day, in the sacrificial blood of the propitiation of Messiah. Mercifully forgive every sin and wrongdoing which I’ve ever committed with my mouth, and remove them from Your records. Graciously heal every wound which my wrongful words have caused. 

Please bridle my tongue by the power of Your Holy Spirit, because I cannot tame my tongue by myself, (James 3:8). 

Life and death are in the power of my tongue, (Proverbs 18:21). Too often I have sown the seeds of death with my mouth. Give me grace to repent, and grant that I will only sow LIFE with the seed of my lips. 

Transform and fill my heart with your love, and deliver me from all wickedness. Mercifully grant that out of the abundance of my heart, my mouth will speak only love and life. 

As it is written:  Set a guard, O יהוה, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!”

(Psalm 141:3–4).  

As It Is Written: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

(Psalm 19:14 NASB95)

Omein.
