“Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.”
~Romans 6: 13
Every part of your body should be offered to God as instruments of righteousness, including your mouth. When you use it to drink alcohol, you have surrendered your mouth to sin. When you use it to puff cigarettes, you’ve offered a part of your body to sin as an instrument of wickedness. A smoker is wicked. Because, for instance, if you’re a father you’re killing yourself. You’re trying to render your wife a widow, and your children will become orphans. That’s wickedness, you need to stop it.
When you use your mouth to slander people, you’ve offered a part of your body to sin as an instrument of wickedness. When you use your mouth to curse people, and say evil things to people to batter them, to destroy their lives, you’ve offered your mouth to sin. The same thing happens when you tell lies –whether black, white, yellow, blue or turquoise lie. When you say something that is not true, it’s a lie; you’re using your mouth to sin. A Christian should not tell lies; it’s wrong.
The bible says:
“Lying lips are abomination to the Lord; but they that deal truly are His delight.”
~Proverbs 12:22(KJV)
Use your mouth instead to bless people. If you must curse, curse the devil, and the works of darkness. Use your mouth to worship God; to sing; to build people up; to prophesy; to make declarations. Do good things with your mouth.

Proverbs 12:22(KJV)
