       It should be noted right off the bat that we are allowed to speak in whatever manner we want to—for James said we have the will to decide what direction our speech is going to go. Sometimes we decide to speak about something, and sometimes we withhold our speech. It’s up to us. This is part of the Law of Liberty for us. God definitely has granted us freedom of speech, and to those who are gifted in speaking, it comes naturally. No effort really needs to be put forward. It is the gifting of the Spirit. This speech, however, produces strong winds, as James stated. So, that means that what we say can have a great impact of the negative as well as the positive. Again, it all comes down to a person’s level of inner-self. The person on the negative side of things, the people going against the current of life, are going to be more apt to say the wrong things, or to speak of things which aren’t clearly thought out. The reason for this is that the higher the level of consciousness of an individual, the more freedom from negativity they have which begets greater understanding in general.
