The Spoken Word

Proverbs 18:21 KJV - Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  

What this means is that every word that comes out of your mouth can give life or kill a life. Every word spoken will come back to you. Many of you think you have the right to say what you want to say and when. You don't, not in Gods eyes and instruction. You do not have the right to harm others with your mouth. Once you speak those words you can never take them back. Even though you say "I am sorry"  it never erases the pain you have caused emotionally. Trust and value are diminished. Respecting you can be hard for the one or ones you have offended.  Verbal abuse should never be accepted or tolerated. Abuse is abuse.

As we age we should mature. As we mature we should have mastered some things and eliminated some issues. This can only happen by asking God to help you. Matthew 11:28 NLT says, Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

If you are doing the same things, saying the same things, you are stuck. Own it and get unstuck. Seek wisdom. If you are living your life in reverse it is time to shift that gear into drive and go forward.

Be careful today and always of what you say to others and yourself. Think before you speak. A hot tempered person is one who is afraid and God did not give you the spirit of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 NLT says, For God did not give us a spirit of fear and tmidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Speak life and be blessed.

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must.   An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win.   Being a runner on the track is the same as

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment.  After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today.  I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it?  The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen

Thought Of The Day

My thought for today: If you want quality you must be quality. Many of us expect so much but only give so little. We seek love but we put conditions on it. We want more money but refuse to put in the hours required and complain when millions do not have employment. We admire things but fail to see there is a cause and effect to having things. Never expect from another what you are not willing to give and if you try to beat the system of life, karma is real and you will no doubt pay for it somewhere in your life's walk. Nothing that happens in your life is by chance, its allowed by God. Change your thinking, change your mind. Feed your thoughts with positiveness. Your eye-gate is the door to growth or destruction meaning, what you choose to see can either bring you growth or cause destruction not only for you but for those around you. One of my favorite quotes from back in college is this, “Determination rules out doubt theory can not solve” penned by an unknown. I wake up det
