Big, plump lips have become an obsession for those in Hollywood. Even common, ordinary people are looking into collagen supplements to impact their appearance. Did you know that collagen injections can cost as much as 325.00 dollars for each syringe? I looked it up - not because I want to get collagen injections. I looked it up because of a verse I came across that brought a vision. I saw fat, collagen-filled lips.
"Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge; For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips"
Proverbs 22:17-18
God wants His people to have plump lips that draw the attention of others because they speak Godly oracles of wisdom and truth.
Recently, I wrote and taught a study on the book of Ephesians. I titled it "Paul's Warfare Manual. Here's a nugget from the study. In verse 19 of chapter 6, Paul instructs us to pray for fat lips. Check it out:
"(Pray) that utterance may be given to me,
that I may open my mouth boldly
to make known the mystery of the gospel"
Ephesians 6:19 NKJV
Paul asks for prayer. We apply this by praying for our pastors and leaders. Pray it for yourself as well. Pray for:
Utterance. Paul could have asked, "Pray that I get out of prison". Instead, he asked for Utterance which means "logos", the written Word of God. Paul wants to speak God's Word.
Mouth means mouth but comes from a root word which means the edge of a sharp sword. WOW! Pray that your mouth is like the edge of a sharp sword speaking the Word of God.
Boldly means fearlessly. The root word means to pour forth freely like rivers. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive…" (John 7:38-39). "… they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the Word of God with boldness" (Acts 4:31). Pray for Holy Ghost boldness with the fierceness of a river to come forth from your lips.
Utterance and boldly. Logos & fearless Holy Ghost anointed speech. Paul wanted both. We should pray for both.
Mystery means divine secrets that shut their mouth as if they are in awe. YAY! Pray to speak mysteries and divine secrets that leave others speechless and pondering your words.
Gospel points to John 3:16. Pray for fat lips that speak the message of God's love, of truth, of hope, of Jesus - the hope of glory.
To have fat lips, the verse in Proverbs tells that we have to do more than just pray for utterance and boldness. We also have to incline our ears and hearts towards wisdom and understanding. That means we must spend time in the Word (Paul's logos), not just reading it but studying it and meditating on it until it is in your spirit. The verse says: "It is pleasant to keep it within you". Wisdom and understanding require spending time with the omniscient One. Time in His word while in His presence imparts wisdom and understanding to your heart which makes your lips fat.
Fat lips are attractive!
Fat lips are trending!
Apply spiritual collagen to your lips.
Don’t forget the lipstick.
Song of Solomon 4:3 admonishes us to have "lips like a thread of scarlet to make our speech comely." This means having blood-covered lips or speaking the same thing His blood says. Let your speech be in line with the work of His blood*. "His blood speaks a better word" (Hebrews 12:24).
Get ready to stand out in the crowd and be called "Fat Lips".
