Negative Thinking and Speaking is a Detriment to our Well-being
Well-Being: the state of being prosperous, comfortable, healthy and happy.
Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…
Proverb 18:21
DEATH and LIFE are in the power of the TONGUE: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
+Words carry POWER, and the POWER of WORDS can change or make LIFE BETTER or WORSE.
+It’s good for us to start paying closer attention to the WORDS we SPEAK.
+Speak WORDS that Promote LIFE and not DEATH, GOOD and not EVIL.
+And SPEAK WORDS of PROSPERITY (SUCCESS) and not FAILURE.
+SPEAK WORD of LOVE and Encouragement not of HATRED and Discouragement. AMEN!

Proverb 18:21 tells us that :
DEATH and LIFE are in the power of the TONGUE: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Matthew 12:37 Jesus Said:
For by your WORDS you shall be JUSTIFIED, and by your WORDS you shall be CONDEMNED.
+The words we speak must be the WORD of God.
+The Word of God is God in Word Form.
+Therefore we must learn the Word of God by studying the Word to show ourselves approved unto God.
+This helps us to speak the WORD of God accurately and appropriately in every situation and circumstance.
+The WORD of God is God’s Exclusive LANGUAGE for His People, and we must learn to speak it not only ACCURATELY, and APPROPRIATELY but also FLUENTLY.
+As we progress in this we will experience tremendous breakthroughs and changes in our lives for the better and for the Glory of God.
Amen!
+You are an Effective, Skillful and Powerful communicator and articulator of the Word of God. Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the STANDARD for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus Loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Refrain From Arguments. Who is a fool?

“The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.”(Psalms 14 :1 NKJV).

“Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.  He who sends a message by the hand of a fool Cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.  Like the legs of the lame that hang limp Is a proverb in the mouth of fools.  Like one who binds a stone in a sling Is he who gives honor to a fool. Like a thorn that goes into the hand of a drunkard Is a proverb in the mouth of fools. The great God who formed everything Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.  As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.”(Proverbs 26:4-12 NKJV).

” But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.  And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.”( 2 Timothy 2: 23-26 NKJV).

•When you are right you don’t necessarily have to argue.
•If you are right (by God’s standards) you are right, why argue?
•No one can be right without the truth.
•No one has the power to permanently hide the truth. The truth will always come out and will always prevails.
•It is knowing the truth with the exercise and application of wisdom that prevents arguments. In other words getting your facts straight.

“For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.:( 2 Corinthians 13: 8 NKJV).

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,  for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;  that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”( Ephesians 4: 11- 16 NKJV).

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”( James 3:13-18 KJV).

•Refrain from arguments and keep your peace. It is the wise thing to do.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Why go to Church?

Psalm 133:1 KJV
[1] Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

Hebrews 10:25 says :
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as all of you see the day approaching.
Acts 20:7
And upon the first day of the week (Sunday), when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them…
1 Corinthians 16:2
Upon the first day of the week (Sunday) let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him…
•Going to Church is not a suggestion. It’s a commandment of God.
•Going to Church, paying your Tithe and giving God an Offering helps to maintain and increase the prosperity of God in every area of your life.

Ephesians 4:11-32 KJV
[11] And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [12] for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: [13] till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: [14] that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; [15] but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: [16] from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. [17] This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [18] having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

[19] who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. [20] But ye have not so learned Christ; [21] if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: [22] that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. [25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. [26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: [27] neither give place to the devil. [28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. [29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. [30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: [32] and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Jude 1:24-25 KJV
[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

•Continue going to Church and let us encourage others to do the same.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

[27] You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows. [28] You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.

Ephesians 6:18 NKJV
[18] praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

Philippians 4:6 NKJV
[6] Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

James 5:13-16 NKJV
[13] Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. [14] Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. [15] And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. [16] Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Remember also that You are Being Prayed For : Matthew 11:28-30 (AMP) says,
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.
30 For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

Romans 8:26-27 KJV
[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans 8:31-35 KJV
[31] What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? [32] He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? [33] Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. [34] Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. [35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

+You are also more BLESSED than you know.
As Matthew 5:10 AMP says :
Blessed and happy and enviably fortunate and spiritually prosperous (in the state in which the born-again child of God enjoys and finds satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of his outward conditions) are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake (for being and doing right), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!
Hebrews 13:5
…I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
Matthew 28:20
…I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
+Dear Heavenly Father,
As I continue to pray that everyone who reads these Messages will continue to experience Your BLESSED PROMISES Abundantly and unlimitedly in their lives.
In the the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray with thanksgiving. Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Jude 1:20-21 NKJV
[20] But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, [21] keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

God didn’t tell us to read the Bible. He tells us to study it.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

When you study it, only then you can meditate on it.

Joshua 1:8 KJV
[8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

When you meditate on it, it becomes:

Psalm 119:103-105 KJV
[103] How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! [104] Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way. [105] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.

When you meditate on His Word, after studying it, you will trust Him ,and rely on Him more, which will allow you the privilege of developing a closer relationship with Him.

Proverbs 3:1-8 KJV
[1] My son, forget not my law; But let thine heart keep my commandments: [2] For length of days, and long life, And peace, shall they add to thee. [3] Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the table of thine heart: [4] So shalt thou find favour and good understanding In the sight of God and man. [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. [7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. [8] It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.

Colossians 3:12-17 KJV
[12] Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; [13] forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. [14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. [15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. [16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV says :
” But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Amplify Your FAITH and Stir It Up as
Jude 1:20 tells us:
But all of you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy FAITH, praying in the Holy Spirit
Romans 10:17 reminds us of this fact:
So then FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
However, 2 Corinthians 5:7 tells us, how to walk:
(For we walk by FAITH, not by sight:)

Hebrews 11:6 emphatically says:
But without FAITH it is impossible to please him (God)…

1 Our FAITH is to please God.

2 We use our FAITH to obtain the Promises of God.

Romans 14:21
whatsoever is not of FAITH is SIN.
•FAITH is for righteous living by God’s Standards.
Hebrews 6:12
…who through FAITH and patience inherit the promises.
+FAITH says I believed what God said and I have accept what God said is so even without any physical evidence.
+FAITH becomes the evidence or the things we asked God for until the things are manifested in my life.
+By faith I can say I have the things that I asked God for before I actually receive them because faith call those things that are not as though they were.
+God honors FAITH that is used to believe in Him and to Trust in Him. Do not cast away your FAITH and CONFIDENCE in God which has great recompensed of rewards.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Go God’s Way

Proverbs 14:12 & 16 :25 NKJV
[12] There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV
[11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. [12] Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. [13] And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Psalms 119:105 NKJV
[105] Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Proverb 3:6
In all of your ways acknowledge Him (God), and He shall direct your paths.
•One idea from God is greater than ten thousand ideas from   genius men and women.
•Always go with God’s wisdom in every situation. God is never wrong.
•Only God’s wisdom can guarantee the results you are looking for and then some.
•God doesn’t just only answer your questions. He also solves your problems. Go God’s way.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

•You are the blessed of the Lord. All your needs and desires are abundantly and unlimtedly supplied with the inexhaustible provisions and riches of God in Christ Jesus.

II Peter 1:2-11 NKJV
[2] Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, [3] as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, [4] by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. [5] But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, [6] to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, [7] to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. [8] For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. [10] Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; [11] for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

•In your relationship with Christ you are loved, thought of, cared for, prayed for and you are protected. In John Ch-17 and Romans 8:26, 27 & 34 Jesus and the Holy Spirit are still praying for us.
•Allow the peace of God to rule your heart, His wisdom to rule your mind and know that our God is also our source of comfort, Joy and strength.
Numbers 6:24-26
The LORD bless you, and keep you:
The LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” ( 3 John 1:2 ).

” Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.  Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”( James 5:13-16 NKJV).
