雅各书 3:3 我们若把嚼环放在马嘴里，叫它顺服，就能调动他的全身。(现代标点和合本)
James 3:3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. (NKJV)
如同我们在把嚼环放在马嘴里，叫它顺服，就能调动它的全身。同样的原则也适用于我们。若我们能约束自己的口，谨守所说的话，就能掌控整个人生。因为我们的言语，拥有决定我们的健康、财务、人际关系，甚至未来的能力。所以，不要再说：“生意难做，因为全球经济不好。” 要记得，我们所倚靠的不是世界的经济，而是基督里的经济。也不要说：“我的健康越来越差。” “我就是控制不了体重。” 这些都不是出自信心的话语。相反，你要这样宣告：“我健康、强壮、且充满活力。”“我有节制，并且走在神圣的健康里。”弟兄姐妹们，让我们从今天开始，说出正确的话语——那些与神的真理对齐、能在我们生命中释放祂大能的话语。阿们！
Just as we put bits into the mouths of horses to control them and guide their entire bodies, the same principle applies to us. If we can discipline our mouths—what we speak—we can steer our entire lives. Our words have the power to direct our health, our finances, our relationships, and our future. So let us stop saying things like: “Business is hard because the global economy is bad.” Remember, we are not operating under the world’s economy—we are under the economy of Christ. Don’t say: “My health is failing.” “I just can’t stop gaining weight.” These are not words of faith. Instead, declare: “I am healthy, strong, and full of energy.” “I have self-control and walk in divine health.” So let’s begin to speak the right words—words that align with God’s truth and release His power in our lives. Amen!
