Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss. A woman has a weapon that is as strong and stronger than any man has in his physical strength.

And it's this little thing called the tongue, which is attached to the heart. So what's in the heart comes out in the tongue and has the ability to absolutely overpower any man.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Friday, September 25th, 2015.

How have you been using the powerful tools God's given you?

A wise woman uses her words to build and not tear down.

That's one of the themes we'll look at as Nancy continues in a series called Becoming a Woman of Discretion.

We've been looking at a portrait of a foolish

woman as painted for us in Proverbs chapter 7. And I want to begin reading in verse 21 as we see how

this foolish woman has seduced and ensnared a foolish young man, a man who is not her husband.

Her husband is away on a business trip, and she has gone after this young man.

She's drawn him into her trap.

Verse 21 shows how she actually lures him in.

Verse 21 says, with her much fair speech, she caused him to yield.

With the flattering or the smoothness of her lips,

she forced him. He goeth after her straightway, or immediately, as an ox goeth to the slaughter,

or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, till a dart strike through his liver,

as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

And now this writer says, harken unto me, now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Listen up, he's saying, this is really, really important that you pay attention.

Verse 25, let not thine heart decline to her ways. Go not

astray in her paths, for she have cast down many wounded, yea many strong men have been slain by her.

Her house is the way to hell going down to the chambers of death.
