Our words are powerful! We choose hour by hour to bless with our words, or curse ourselves and others by the words we speak. When we speak words of life, we are mixing the living Word of God with the power of our tongue. A blessing from God is NOT a thing. His blessing is the FAVOR He spoke over us. James 3:9-10 “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.” Yes, Lord! “If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind. It does NOT envy, it does NOT boast, it is NOT proud. It does NOT dishonor others, it is NOT self-seeking, it is NOT easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does NOT delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love NEVER fails. But where there are PROPHECIES, they WILL CEASE; where there are TONGUES, they will be STILLED; where there is KNOWLEDGE, it will PASS away.” 1 Corinthians 13:3-8❤️ “You have been raised with Christ, set your HEARTS on things ABOVE, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your MINDS on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Therefore, as God’s CHOSEN people, HOLY and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, KINDNESS, humility, gentleness and PATIENCE. Bear with each other and FORGIVE one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on LOVE, which binds them all together in perfect UNITY. Let the peace of Christ RULE in your hearts, since as members of ONE body you were CALLED to peace. And be THANKFUL. Let the message of Christ DWELL among you richly as you TEACH and admonish one another with all WISDOM through psalms, hymns, and SONGS from the Spirit, singing to GOD with GRATITUDE in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the NAME of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through HIM.” Colossians 3

The blessing of God is NOT our house, car, or bank account. These things can come and go. We can lose things, things wear out, but the favor of God that was spoken over us, will never cease to bless us. 1 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” ❤️ Confession is when we surf the waves of our soul and decide to tell the truth. Repentance is when God takes you into the deep and tells you what He knows is true of you. Honesty is a deep subject. We see the surface, God knows the deep. ❤️ 1 John 1:9-10 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word is not in us.” ❤️ James 5:16 “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” What seeds are you spewing from your mouth? Are you obeying God by planting good seeds that will produce faith, hope and love?

There are natural laws of what happens when we plant seeds. We reap what we sow. We must mix the Word of God with our gift of faith, and speak with confidence that He who is in us, is greater than the plague, the germ, the disease, or the spoken diagnosis! We are asked to “ONLY BELIEVE” and simply “RECEIVE” the incredible GIFT our Father sent down from heaven. Joel 2:28-30 “And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.” Don’t put God in a box! All over Iran and Africa Jesus is now appearing to the confused!

We are His Ambassadors and our Father expects us to represent Him well. Choosing to Speak Life, we cancel the worst case scenario and influence doubt to surrender to truth. Thinking in your heart “I hope my prayer works?” is to adopt doubt in God’s power. Place your HOPE, FAITH and CONFIDENCE in the indwelt power of the Holy Ghost and walk in the blessings of God. Be confident in His power and be Healed — Be whole. If you think “that person will never change, be healed, saved, or ever learn” You have spoken a curse over them. Our words have power. As His disciples we honor God when we speak favor on all the people. — “Every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.” Acts 2:47 In every circumstance, while stuck in traffic, watching the news, we have the choice to DENY the curses that are spoken, and think about what God said. “He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor!” Isaiah 61:1

“By His stripes, you are healed” God’s living Word is a legal contract and God never breaks His Covenant. Ephesians 1:7-9 “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ”. The lavish favor of God has been spoken over us and we need to “Just Believe ” every word and mix it with our full measure of faith. Hebrews 4:2 “For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not receive the word with faith.”

God has already blessed us with His living word. It is up to us to conquer our natural responses, and choose to capture every word before it escapes our mouth. We edify our spirit, as we pray in the Spirit. He enlarges our capacity to receive the lavish blessings. Are you speaking ill of a party, a family member, a politician? Are you planting a good crop with those thoughts or words? REMEMBER we will all be held accountable for every word we speak, and for every unseen attitude. “Be quick to listen and slow to speak” James 1:19 Cool Thoughts
