THAT LITTLE MEMBER THAT IS IN OUR BODY, THE TONGUE, HAS GREAT POWER TO BLESS OR CURSE.

That tongue of ours, can effect our health, wound hearts, and cause divisions.

When we say something demeaning  to cause division, we set trouble in motion.

Proverbs 21:23

Whoever guards his mouth and tongue,  keeps his soul from troubles.

James 3:6

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.  The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell.

When we speak the word of God into a situation, Our brain will recognize its creators word and will respond. God's word carries power.

Our brain will respond to good words that are spoken, or negative words that are spoken.

James 3:8-10

But no man can tame the tongue.  It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.  With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men.

Beloved, only the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue.

Luke 1:20 (Zacharias in the temple)

But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.

Yes, God is the only one who can take control of our tongue.

If we would only learn to think before we speak, we would save ourselves a lot of trouble.

Guard your words, If pride is in your heart, it will come out of your mouth. Pride always points to others short comings.

When pride is in your heart, you will overestimate yourself, and under estimate others. 

If you see this in yourself, REPENT, let God cleanse you from evil suspicions about others motives and actions.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal what it is that needs cleansing in your thought life.

Never ever see yourself as better than others, it is okay to see yourself different, because you no longer belong to this world.

Remember, God gives grace to the humble.

 Proverbs 13:3

He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

Have we been speaking words that disagree with what God's words says about us?

Years ago, I use to say, its allergy season so I need more tissues and Benadryl. 

Beloved, when I stopped buying into the worlds message, and no longer expected to have those symptoms, it all stopped. It was gone, 

God's word superseded what I was believing and speaking.

Some symptoms are false, others can be real.

I do not accept any symptoms that come on me.

I pray about them, and speak God's word over them.  If they leave, then I know they were false, if they remain, then I will go see a doctor.

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,  And those who love it will eat its fruit.

It took faith when I started to sneeze, I reminded myself this does not belong in my body.

I apply the blood of Jesus to my body, soul and spirit.

Like James 3:6 said, we, with our tongue set the course of nature.

Psalm 43:5 (David knew what to do, he spoke to his soul)

Why are you cast down, O my soul?  and why are you disquieted within me?  Hope in God;  For I shall yet praise Him,  The help of my countenance and my God.

Speak words of life, hope, encouragement, we have victory in Jesus.

Beloved, here are scriptures for you to meditate on.

Matthew 12:37, Proverbs 16:24, Proverbs 15:4.

As we get closer to our Easter celebration, we are reminded of the Lord's words.

He will come again and receive His children to Himself. 

So while there is time, speak the words of life.

Words full of resurrection power, because Jesus lives inside of us, we carry the hope, people are longing for.

Philippians 4:8-9

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true,  whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of a good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.

Beloved, time is short, speak God's word, pray God's word and have an expectant heart to see or hear results.  God is moving.

Share openly from your heart the words of life.

People are longing to have the answers needed to give them peace. We, as God's children, have those answers. 

They are all in Jesus!!

Speak life giving words, let your tongue be a blessing.

Remember, Jesus said whatsoever we speak and believe, we shall have. That's positive, or negative.  

Meditate on that for a moment.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Joy

Amen and amen!!! Lord guard, our hearts and our tongue and Father if we go to speak anything that does not line up with your word, help us to close our big fat mouth. Father help us to edify and build up the body of Christ not tear down. We are to be one family united in You. None of us are better than anybody else. Help us Lord to keep our eyes on You. Holy Ghost search our heart if there’s any unforgiveness any pride, any arrogance anything that is not of You we asked that You would reveal it in each and every one of Your children throughout the whole entire world . Father it’s time to put the games down. It’s time to put the flesh down and it’s time for us to keep our eyes like flint now focused on you. Use the body of Christ powerfully in these last hours. And help the world to look at Your children and see Jesus , not any of us looking and acting foolishly like the world may you get all the glory all the honor and all the praise in powerful name of Jesus amen . ❤️❤️❤️

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW OFFENCES TO COME INTO OUR LIFE? PART 2

How do we deal with offences that we have experienced? Proverbs 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. So, how do we deal with an offence, we cover it with the grace of God and love. Just as God does for us when we are  displeasing to Him. When we cover an offence with God's grace we overlook it and choose to give something of value to ourselves, Peace and rest for our soul. Beloved, our security is in Jesus not in other peoples opinions of us. We must die daily to self, as self is our worst enemy.  Stop trying to measure up to others.  Your journey is about you and Jesus.  Others journey is different from yours.  There are hidden things in their life that only God knows about. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who who commend themselves.   But they, measuring themselves, by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. If an offence comes, pass it on to Jes

THERE IS A TIME AND SEASON FOR EVERYTHING, INCLUDING OUR WALK WITH THE LORD.

Have you ever noticed that as the seasons change so do we? (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season,  A time for every purpose under heaven: (Read 1-8) We also have seasons in our life. When at times we have little fellowship with others and other times we have great fellowship. We have a time of new understanding, and of seeing  our Lord in a new light. Brighter than before. As we grow in the Lord our inner circle seems to get smaller, and that is okay, as the Holy Spirit is doing a work in our life.  Don't look at what's past, but instead look ahead, having an expectant mind and heart knowing that God is moving things around in your life and adding new people in our life. When we choose to follow Jesus all the way, and shake off this world and its system, people will leave our life.   Some want one foot in and one foot out, they twist the scriptures to fit their desires.  That doesn't work!! Take another lap around the mountain. (Like the chil

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk i
