Words in Season

“The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary.” Isaiah 50:4 KJV.

Of all the blessings that shape our destiny, one of the greatest is receiving from God the tongue of the learned, the divine ability to speak a word in season to the weary (Isaiah 50:4). This gift empowers us to speak rightly, bringing deliverance not only to ourselves, as Jesus taught in Mark 11:23 about speaking to the mountain, but also to those God sends our way. You cannot fail an interview if you have the tongue of a learned (Luke 21:15). Solomon affirmed this power, declaring, “A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” (Proverbs 15:23). When our words are seasoned with grace and salt (Colossians 4:6), we become instruments of comfort and wisdom, able to speak life and hope into every situation. Salt indicates preservation and sweetness; your word can preserve destinies and bring sweetness to a sorrow-stricken life.

Jesus, in His earthly ministry, constantly spoke words of life, healing, and truth, saying, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Your word can bring life and not death (Proverbs 18:21) and your word can justify you and not condemn you (Matthew 12:37). Every believer is called to preach the word in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). May the Lord grant us always the tongue of the learned, that we may speak words that heal, guide, and transform.

Prophetic word: Beloved, hear the word of the Lord: “I am anointing your tongue afresh and placing My words in your mouth. You shall speak as one taught of the Lord, and your words shall bring light to those in darkness and strength to the weary. I will give you wisdom that no adversary can gainsay nor resist. Even in moments where you feel inadequate, My Spirit shall quicken your tongue, and your speech shall drop as the dew, refreshing and reviving many. Fear not, for I am with you to make your words arrows of truth and rivers of life.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of the tongue of the learned. Lord, baptize me afresh with divine wisdom and utterance. Let my words be seasoned with grace and salt, bringing hope, healing, and guidance to all who hear me. Deliver me from idle or careless speech and fill my mouth with words of life, truth, and power. Let me know how to speak a word in season to the weary. Empower me to preach, encourage, and prophesy as You lead, both in season and out of season. Let my words justify and not condemn me and let them bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
