Proverbs: 29-11.  Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring clam in the end.

One of the things that you and I as believers must learn if we want to be faithful servants in the
Kingdom of God is how to keep our mouths shut.  Very few of us have mastered that skill.

When we get our backs up about something, we think we have to let everyone know about it.
" I am just going to give them a piece of my mind," we say.

Don't make that mistake.  No one wants or needs a piece of your mind - and if you give it
to them, you will only end up alienating people and bringing harm to yourself.  Learn, instead
to keep quiet.

I have seen that happen.  I have known of people who have received revelation about someone's
weakness or needs.  They have been given insight into the problem of someone's  life, so they
could pray for that person but instead they told others about it.  As a result they lost their
effectiveness as intercessors.

Don't let that happen to you. Develop a quiet art of the wise man, and the devil will find it
increasingly difficult to harm your prayer life and ministry to others.
