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.

Building Trust When Faith Wavers

Mark 9:21-24 21 And He asked his father, How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, From childhood. 22 It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!" 23 And Jesus said to him, `If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." 24 Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, I do believe; help my unbelief." Since faith is the core of our Christian experience, the consequences of wavering faith are far-reaching. Vacillating trust can lead us to make wrong decisions. Sometimes, after praying for direction, we might receive an answer that leads us to think, I can’t do that. So, instead of asking God to strengthen our faith, we make excuses. We may choose to postpone our obedience—even indefinitely—in order...

I Now Believe God Loves Me

1 JOHN 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. Although I have endeavored to walk with the Lord for awhile, only in recent times have I started to really believe God loves me. My problem was that I kept focusing on myself, instead of God. I saw myself in my immaturity with all my faults and failures. I was not looking at Jesus the perfect sacrifice, but focused on myself and my shortcomings. Even though I spread messages on the love of God, I never had confidence that God truly loved me just as I was. Instead I thought more in terms of God tolerating me, but not being too happy with me. I was trying my best to do what I thought God wanted, not really realizing that I could never earn God's love. Now I am realizing that God's love is not dependent on me, but is entirely dependent on God alone. He does not love me because I am lovable, b...

welcome to my blog

Oh the waterfall of cleansing Grace! Welcome to my Grace blog. I hope to both share and start a dialogue about Jesus Christ and how his life, relationships and teaching have a practical working value in our everyday lives. To go beyond our belief of Jesus... and into our belief in Jesus. I hope we can learn more about how the finished work of Christ on the cross empowers his work in us in our daily lives. I hope we can grow in His Grace and Wisdom! The name came from a Joseph Prince story in his book "Destined to Reign"...here's the story: Prince tells the story of a young boy who found a rock out in the woods. Though it looked rough at first, he rinsed it in the small waterfall of a nearby stream. Turns out, the rock was marbly, smooth, and full of color. Not wanting to lose the rock, and afraid someone would take it from him if he took it home, he buried it back in the dirt in a tucked away place before he went home for the night. There, he left it. The ne...
