The things that you mention during a day's time are recorded in heaven. There are things worth mentioning and things that are not. Some of the things that are not worth mentioning are negative reports about people. Passing on a negative report about someone is gossip.
When you pass on a negative report about someone, then the listener forms an opinion about that person that is not edifying. My Word says that we are to speak evil of no man. Who are you to judge anyway? Even negative words about yourself are not worth mentioning. My adversary takes the words that you speak and uses them as weapons against you. Negative words have the power to curse others and yourself.
What is worth mentioning is My name, My precious blood, My plan of salvation, My love for others, the power of My Spirit to do miracles, and everything that is pure, virtuous, of good report, lovely, praiseworthy, true, honest, and just. Mentioning people's names in prayer is also worthwhile.
