Choose Life Words!

DEUTERONOMY 30:19 NLT 19 "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!

You have a choice. You can choose life and blessings. Or you can choose curses and death. You make that choice when you choose the words you speak.

PROVERBS 18:21 NKJ 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Life and death are in the power of your tongue, so to choose life -- choose to speak words of life.

JOHN 6:63 NKJ 63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. Jesus spoke words of life, and when we speak in agreement with His Word, we are speaking words of life. But the world trains us to speak words of death. Our culture (influenced by the devil) has conditioned us to speak words of doubt, fear, and death.

Here are some examples.
I'm afraid not! I can't believe it! I can't believe he did that! This is about to drive me insane! This heat is just killing me! I'm dying to go there! That thrills me to death! I laughed till I thought I would die! I'm so embarrassed I could just die! That scared the life out of me! That just blows me away! That is so sickening! That just makes me sick! I'm so sick and tired of that! Well, I'll be damned!

If you desire life and blessing, then you should not speak these kinds of words. When you speak you are expressing a choice. If you desire to choose life and blessing, then you should speak (only) words of life and blessing. Jesus defeated the devil for you and stripped him of all authority. So the devil tries to get you to speak negative words, and thus give him an opening to bring destruction into your life. So be aware of the words you speak!

SAY THIS: I choose the kind of life I will have by the words I choose to speak.

join the community of Faith

Acts 2:42-47 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit of God blew into the hearts and lives of common, ordinary followers of Jesus and the church was born. On that first day, Peter stood up and preached a very basic message pointing people to Jesus. He called them to repent and be baptized. On that day, about three thousand people came to faith! So what do you do with three thousand new...

You Have The Victory!

Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. If God’s Word says that we are more than conquerors through Christ, then we are. We are not going to become, we already are. We may be experiencing some failures or setbacks in life right now, but only good will come out of our situations because God says that “in all these things we are more than conquerors”. We have the victory! You see, God has placed us in Christ, whom He has exalted to the highest place in the universe. We are not trying to get to victory ground. We are already on victory ground. We don’t confess God’s Word to get victory. We confess His Word because we already have the victory. We don’t fight for victory. We fight from victory. The devil will try to steal our victory. He will come against us with lies and fears, and cause us to be conscious of our failures, weaknesses and symptoms in areas such as our health. But we are not trying to be healed...

The God to Whom We Pray

Nehemiah 1:1-11 Nehemiah demonstrates power in prayer. As a servant to King Artaxerxes of Persia, he had no right to request leave to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls, much less to requisition materials and protection. Yet knowing the nature of the God he served, Nehemiah did not hesitate to act boldly and ask the king for what was needed. His prayer began, “I beseech You, O lord God of heaven” (Neh. 1:5). Lord, when it appears in all capital letters, denotes the word Jehovah (a form of Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God). It means “God who is eternal in His being”—conveying that everything everywhere is in His presence. So, when God makes a promise, He knows how He will keep it. That is why Nehemiah called Him “the awesome God who preserves the covenant.” He knew God was committed to bringing repentant Israelites back to their homeland to dwell in His presence (Neh. 1:9). Another Hebrew name used to refer to God, Elohim, is translated “He who is absolutely sovereign.” If He...
