If we try to build up ourselves, Lord
Jesus,
believing in our prosperity that we shall
never be moved,
and we ignore your words, then we set
ourselves up
for a great fall.
Teach us instead, to build up your
church,
by listening for your Spirit to speak
through us or through others.

Jer. 36:29
And concerning
King Jehoiakim of Judah you shall say: Thus says the LORD, You have dared to
burn this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon
will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it human
beings and animals?
1 Cor. 14:4
Those who speak
in a tongue build up themselves, but those who prophesy build up the
church.
Matt. 10:19-20
"…When they
hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say;
for what you are to say will be given to you at that time; for it is not
you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. …" [Jesus to his twelve disciples]
