Killing Me Softly

In this sobering installment of The Clarion Call, host Nici Mathis continues her study of Revelation 22:14–15, focusing on those who will be found outside the gates of the New Jerusalem—the murderers. While many might assume this category excludes them, Nici challenges listeners to see how unrighteous anger, gossip, slander, and even careless words can be counted as “murder in the heart.” Drawing from Matthew 5:21–22 and 1 John 3:15, she unpacks how unchecked anger opens the door to the enemy, giving footholds to wrath, rage, and ultimately destruction. Through personal testimonies as a mom, minister, and believer, Nici illustrates how anger can spiral from thoughts into actions, just as with Cain and Abel in Genesis 4. The episode also tackles the heavier subject of abortion, drawing parallels between modern practices and ancient child sacrifices to false gods, as seen in Psalm 106. Nici shares her own story of verbal abortion—speaking death over a pregnancy out of fear and pressure—and emphasizes the power of life and death in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Throughout the message, listeners are reminded that God’s love calls for repentance, correction, and transformation. With prayer and deliverance, we can break agreement with the spirit of murder, walk in love, and bear good fruit for eternal life.
