Most people today realize that their words have power and authority, but unfortunately do not harness nor control the words that come out of their mouths. An that is unfortunate because words can change outcomes. Words can heal or hurt, bring joy or sadness, bring forth truth or deception, unite or separate. Words are containers that carry emotions, wisdom, pictures, and beliefs. Proverbs 18:21 says: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit”. King David knew this, so he determined within himself to only speak of God’s righteousness all day long. He said this in Psalm 71:24 (HCSB):”Therefore, my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm will be disgraced and confounded”. He knew that God’s promises are living and active. David trusted God to shut down the attacks of his enemies. He knew that his enemies would be disgraced and confounded. James 4:7 says: “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. So as you submit to God this weekend, know that God has identified your enemies, and He is shutting down their attacks against you. The enemy has to flee. Be like David and let your tongue only speak of His righteousness all day long!
You are part of HIs Family!
You are part of HIs Family!
Jesus said when you pray, call Him Our Father. This denotes family. This shows His love for us, in that He invites us into His family. He calls us co-heirs with the Lord Jesus. An heir is someone that is in line to receive the inheritance. The Heavenly Father says that we share in the inheritance with His Son, who is our older brother. The Lord Jesus says He is not ashamed to call us brothers. Jesus mentioned in a prayer that the Father loves us like He loves His only begotten Son. Imagine that. God loves us so much that He loves us just like He loves His only begotten Son.The Psalmist mentioned various things about God’s love to us:
> God’s love is unfailing.
> Because of His love, goodness and mercy follow us every day of our lives.
> His love abounds toward us.
> Great peace have they who love your law. Nothing shall make them stumble.
> For those who pursue and love Him, they will find life, prosperity, and honor.
> He protects those who love Him.
2 Corinthians 6: 17,18 “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”
