Shalom, brothers and sisters.
All praises are given to Yah, the Most High, through his son, Yahoshua, who has been given to us as Messiyah—redeemer and savior.
I would like to briefly touch upon what curse words and profanity are. As we strengthen our walk with Yah we understand that we must shed all the remnants of Babylon. Before we come into the fullness of our walk with the Father, Babylon must be given back her food, thoughts, clothes, ways, and more importantly, her speech.
Within the language of Babylon (English), she has a group of words that she has set aside.
These words are considered to be at the bottom of the language. Of course I am speaking about the so-called curse words. While I do not intend to offend anyone, it's important that I list these words to ensure readers have an understanding of what is what.
The following are primary curse words used in the ENGLISH LANGUAGE:
-
Mother Fucker
-
Fucker
-
Fuck
-
Shit
Does a Curse Word Indeed Bring about a Curse?
According to the Oxford Illustrated Dictionary, the definition of a curse word is as follows (see page 205).
CURSE: 1.) A SOLEMN UTTERANCE INTENDED TO INVOKE A SUPERNATURAL POWER TO INFLICT DESTRUCTION OR PUNISHMENT ON A PERSON OR THING. 2.) THE EVIL SUPPOSEDLY RESULTING FROM A CURSE.
Those two definitions are exactly what a curse is and we can prove this.
The Curses of the Israylites
When Yah pronounced the curses upon His people, Israyl, not one of the so-called curse words of Babylon was used.
Deuteronomy 28:16 - Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
v. 17 - Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
v. 18 - Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
v. 19 - Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
v. 20 - YAH shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
By Yah saying that Israyl would be cursed, He is not saying Israyl would go around speaking the profanity of Babylon. When Yah spoke the curses against Israyl He pronounced a power to inflict destruction or punishment on a people. That's what a curse is—words uttered to bring about evil on a person or thing. True curse words are:
-
"I hope you die."
-
"I wish they kill you."
-
"I hate your guts."
-
"Why don't you disappear?"
-
"I hope nothing good ever comes to you."
These are curses many of you may have UNKNOWINGLY thrown at people, and had them thrown back at you. Many of our children throw curses at each other every day because they have not been taught what a curse word is. We nor they pay it any mind. Curses are real. And we Israylites are living proof of that. Every curse Yah pronounced upon us has come true. Everything from captivity to coming into slavery in ships has happened to the Israylite nation.
The Curse of the Chicago Cubs
Let’s briefly look at a very famous curse of our modern times. This is the curse of baseball team, the Chicago Cubs, by William "Billy Goat" Sianis. The website, Billy Goat Tavern & Grill, gives a detailed account.
Notice when this guy puts the curse on the Chicago Cubs he didn't go out and do some ritual. Rather he just spoke it into being by saying, "The Cubs ain't gonna win no more." They have been nothing but losers ever since. In fact, they have not made it back to the championship since 1945, the year the curse was placed upon them. Granted they have come close but never made it; and the only reason they can't win is because they are cursed.
Another point to notice is the guy who put the curse on the Cubs never used one of the so-called curse words of Babylon.
The infamous black cat circles Ron Santo in 1969 at Shea Stadium, just before the "Miracle Mets" write
another chapter of the Cubs' curse.
Now since we know the curse words spoken in the language of BABYLON are not curse words at all, what are they?
They are profanity—words of profane.
Scripture Warns Against Using Profanity
Profane is the root word of Profanity. Profanity means "a profane act, profane language, and blasphemy." Profane means "vulgar and obscene." These words are considered to be the filthiest words in the English language. If the Gentiles say these words are profane and garbage, then we should take note. We know the things they consider good is actually bad. So we know if they say something of theirs is bad, IT IS BAD. FOR THAT REASON, WE SHOULD NOT SPEAK ANY PROFANITY. THE OTHER REASON IS THAT WE ARE TOLD NOT TO SPEAK ANY PROFANE WORDS.
1 Timothy 6:20 - O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
2 Timothy 2:16 - But shun profane (PROFANITY) and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more WICKEDNESS.
Be careful of that negative energy you throw out because it will come back.
Pronouncing curses and using profanity is negative energy. Words come from within. If you speak profane things, they are coming from your heart. You must remove all profanity and negative energy from your temple. That's the only way Yah will dwell within. Yah is not profane. He does not deal with profanity or profane things nor does he dwell in profanity. Profanity is of the Devil. Those who are of Yah only speak the words of Yah.
John 3:34 - For he whom Yah has sent speaketh the words of YAH: for YAH does not give the Spirit by measure unto him.
Never forget that you will be held accountable for every idle word you speak.
Matthew 12:36 - But I say unto you, That every idle word men shall speak, they shall give an account thereof in the day of judgment.
I pray this article will help you in your walk with Yah and bring you closer to the Father.
Shalom.
