Sweet Little Nothings has always been a
phrase that irritated me. I never could understand why anyone would speak them
or receive them. I do not want nothings I want somethings. I thought I was
crazy for my thoughts because when I expressed them I was always told I thought
too much. I have come to realize, rather romantic or spiritual, people desire
to hear words even if they come to nothing. No manifestation, no action; people
want words to make them feel "good" but do not realize they are being
deceived. Words are powerful. They can bless or they can curse. They can convey
love or convey hate. They carry life and death, warfare and peace, words are
powerful but we tend to see them as minute and of no value.
I call myself the "wordologist"
(I made that up) because I love words and how words convey a message. I believe
proper words communicated effectively would prevent and end a lot conflicts.
Words are misused, mishandled, ignored and overlooked until they are the words
we are looking for. If you can say what I want to hear you will have me. This
is not good. This is not effective for living. It is detrimental to our lives
but it is how we have been living. Sweet Little Nothings are words of flattery.
Flattery is defined as excessive and
insincere praise. We like flattery. But flattery is deceiving, it is not real
and it is not truth. We would rather receive words of flattery than words of
truth. These words of flattery have been used to manipulate men and women out
of money, love and spiritual strength. Not only do physical beings use flattery
but so does the kingdom of darkness. The kingdom of darkness knows that we all
have not gained confidence in our call or even in the place that we are in so
it comes to whisper "sweet little nothings". Sweet little nothings
come to seduce you.
Seduce means to draw you away from the
right path. Seduction comes for your flesh and your emotions. The sweet little
nothings are captivating your mind and your flesh. Telling you what you always
wanted to hear but never realized hearing those words would cause you to step
away from the right path because the source is perverted. Sweet little nothings
seem innocent and harmless until you come to yourself with nothing because you
were deceived by these harmless words. We cannot entertain "sweet little
nothings" in any capacity. Sweet little nothings come with the purpose of
taking from you not giving to you. They are spoken to you but they become
leeches and drain you of yourself. Sweet little nothings can alter your
personality.
Be careful that you are not being flattered
in your flesh that you cannot discern in the Spirit. For there is no
faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat
is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue. (Psalm 5:9 KJV) BEWARE OF
THOSE WHO WANT TO FLATTER YOU BECAUSE IT IS NOT REAL! Words are powerful. Pay
attention to what is said to you and who says it. Check the source of words
spoken to you. Sweet little nothings are destructive words but you have the
power to overthrow them by receiving the words of Christ that give life and
spirit. Christ will not flattery you but He will tell you the truth. When He
says it, it will become action. Words that are true to you and for you will be
action that is not flattery but it is REAL!
