Just curious and BTW I've wondered this for a long time so the other post just sort of reminded me. This is not meant to be a reflection on her

Praxeas,
Unfortunately, those whom seek accolades have given an ill-reputation to all legitimate "hearers" of God. Many have damaged saints and pastors with their "thus saith the Lord" counterfeit verbiage, and for this reason many pastors abstain/prohibit this particular movement within their churches. However, no pastor should hinder victories of tomorrow with disappointments of yesterday, due to previous ill experiences.
Anyone claiming to receive granted permission from God to utilize profanity is ignorant. Can you conceive the idea of God or us needing profanity to convey a message?
Furthermore, after reading the following scripture, written within Paul's letter to the saints in Colossae, it was either carnalism or demonic influence that granted this female poster permission to utilize filthy language!
Col 3:8
80 But now you must
rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,
and filthy language from your lips
p.s.
Pro 17:27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
