Focus on these priorities this new year!

“Mindset determines our actions, which determine our results. Changing your mindset will change your actions, and your new actions will change your results!”

In the beginning of this New Year, make sure of these things:

> God and His word are your number one priority

> You are meditating on HIs word every day

> You will put a guard on your mouth and watch the words of your mouth. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)

> Be diligent in the work of your hands and what you do unto the Lord: (Proverbs 18:9) “He who is slothful in his work is a brother to him who is a great destroyer”.

> You are working as unto the Lord. This is your act of worship to Him.

Colossians 3: 23,24 “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for[a] you serve the Lord Christ”.

Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

God gave you a mouth; Use it!

We all have a mouth and unique experience & perspectives. However, our mindsets and views are being continually shaped and formed by school, movies, the news and social media, family and friends. Our view on things  can change depending on what we listen to. Many today believe all that they read or hear. That is dangerous because everybody has an opinion and a bias. That is why our faith has to be centered around the word of God. Romans 10:17 says: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The key here is that faith comes by hearing, so what we hear all day long helps to fashion our belief system. Jesus said that He would give us “a mouth” and “wisdom” which none of our adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict (Luke 21:15, ESV). So if we daily connect with God’s word, our mouths will be a powerful tool and weapon against the enemy’s attacks because since we are filled with the wisdom of God, that is what we will speak when challenged. So instead of curses, anger, offense, ignorance and worldly bias coming out of our mouths, what will come forth is the love, grace, power, knowledge and beauty of God’s word and will. We all have a mouth, so let’s all use it for God’s glory and for the benefit of all those that God has called us to minister to, even those who have had the eyes of their understanding darkened by the spirit of this age.

Luke 21:15 (ESV) “for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.”
