Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21(KJV)
Take heed listen, to what you speak. Listen to yourself! Think, Do I want what I just said to come to pass? If the answer is no, then stop and correct yourself right now. Replace those negative words with praise.
Ephesians 5:4 says Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks..
If you've gotten sloppy about what you say, change your course today by changing your words. Ask God to help you set a watch over your mouth. Put the power that's in your tongue to work for you instead of against you. Stop using it to make problems, and start using it to make miracles. There is a miracle in your mouth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. James 3:6 (kJV)

Burdened
Do you feel beaten down, crushed beneath a weight, burdened today?
All you see are the storms in your life, like there is no end to the trials and tribulations. You look around and it seems like the enemy has destroyed your life. It feels like your hopes and dreams have been dismantled .
It looks like your future has been robbed. Your children, your health, your finances, your marriage, or your life has been under attack and now all you can see is rubble. You’ve been down so long now that you’ve almost forgotten what it feels like to be up.
You may think that you are sinking to rise no more, but God’s Spirit can lift you up. He can give you a pick-me-up that no drug can give.
Maybe you’re here today and you need the Spirit to lift you up, well I have good news for you. If you will let Him, the Holy Spirit will lift you up and give you a new outlook on life. He will lift you up above the clouds and into His marvelous light.

Quitters never win
"Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in
God, I will praise him again - my Savior and my God."( Psalms 42:11)
I just can't face another day.
Is that how you have been feeling lately?. The pressures of life have been overwhelming, you just can't go on anymore.
You can't understand what is happening to you, to your home to your marriage, to your ministry. Something is missing and try as you will you just can't find the key to make things work out.
You have spent hours trying to figure out where things went wrong.The romance is gone , the communication is gone, right now your relationship with God is plummeting, right now there are more questions than answers.
If you will pull back the facade you will find depression, or perhaps you even thought about suicide or maybe even attempted it, everything seems so blank and dismal.
You desperately cry out for God's help and He seems not to hear.
You struggle along making one mistake after another,we cry, you pray, you read the word, you help others and do good.
But you are left feeling empty and unfulfilled, doubt creeps in.

You have issues
In Luke 8:43 we read the story about a woman having an issue of blood for twelve years who spent all her living on the physicians but still she was not cured.
Like this woman you also have issues, you have problems in your life that seems to defy everything that you try. You are hurting, your heart is bleeding from the pain, actually you have faced much issues in life, you had to fight to survive, to break free from the bondage the enemy wanted to put you in, if the truth be told here are still some issues you are struggling with at this moment.
You have reached a crisis point in your life, like this woman you have gotten desperate to see this issue resolved, you have been fighting to break out, to be healed, to be delivered, to be set free but nothing seems to change and right now you don't know what else to do.
This woman heard about Jesus and she determined in her heart that she had to get to him, this woman pushed her way through the crowd to get to touch the hem of Jesus' garment. Here we see action, we all have faith but we need to put it into action for it to work for us, faith without works is dead. It was not the garment that healed her, it was her faith in daring to believe that she could be made whole.
If you know Jesus and have a relationship with Him you are in a good place, or perhaps you are just familiar with him. Whatever it is, all you have to do is see Jesus, reach out to Him in faith. The man at the gate beautiful had an issue, Jairus had an issue, the children of Israel also had many issues but the truth of the matter is that it is only God who can permanently resolve your issues. You don't want a temporary fix for a permanent problem.
As you walk in obedience to His word and believe in Him your issues can be resolved. When the children of Israel obeyed God things went well for them, when they walked in disobedience many issues arose in their lives. It was only as they turned back to God were these issues taken care of.
Don't let the issues of life stop you from living a full life and getting things done, see Jesus, call on Him, He is a present help in times of trouble.

Come out of captivity
Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me ... to preach deliverance to the captives ... "
Luke 4:18
You are held a captive, you are bound up in sin, sickness, drugs, alcohol, oppression and depression. You are in bondage to anything that controls you and prevents you from being free to do what God wants you to do. The truth is that you do not have to be held a captive. The truth is you do not have to be in bondage. Jesus came to set the captives free.
God is calling those who have been in isolation, locked down in their minds and spirit to come out of captivity. Many of you were wounded and rejected, and you recoiled and because of accusations you have been limited in your calling. You were suppressed and confined but God is breaking that off. It's time to be delivered, God wants to use you to fight to bring deliverance to some people like you who have been held captive
It is time to come out of hiding, to come into the fulness of your authority, the time is now. l declare that the war on your mind is over, the war on your body is over, the war on your voice is over. It's over.

Stick to the vine
John 15:4-6
4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned
The word lets us know the importance of being connected to the true source of life,of the true source of power. Our Lord uses the analogy of the vineyard, of the vine and the branches.
Just as a wild vine attaches it self to a tree and begins to receive its nourishment from it and grow the same way God expects us to cling to him to receive nutrients so that we can grow and begin to bear fruit.Jesus is the vine, God the Father is the vine grower, and the true believers are the branches.
As branches we are spiritually alive; yet we can only grow if we are connected to him,if we are connected to the true vine, apart from Him we begin to dry up and die spiritually. Having a form of worship, going through the motions,doing absolutely nothing with our lives.
As long as we are connected to Jesus the power of the Holy Spirit can run in us and keep us spiritually alive. So we need to stick to the vine.
PRAYER
Blockages- Perhaps there are some blockages in your life that hinders you from doing the things of God, its time to pray against them.
Obstruction: spirits that block spiritual growth, finances, relationships, prayer life, study of the Word, ministry, and so on. Barrier, obstacle, roadblock, wall. Spirits that impede, choke, close off, cut off, stop up, sever, deter, dam, bar, arrest, thwart. Spirits that block and obstruct revelation, answered prayer, prosperity, or church growth.

Who is this for?
Matthew 6:33 says " But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you ".
Indeed this is the time when people need to be about the Kings' business, but by the Kings' standards, holy and righteous.
We need to be repentant, totally surrendered and obedient
For too long believers have been playing church. If the Kingdom of God is to be manifested the King has to be involved.
Often times we have done a lot of great stuff for God but He was been left out of the equation.
The question is, who is this for, is it for the King or is it for you?
We as believers need to get to the place where the kingdom is our priority when the kingdom becomes our priority then the other things will be added unto us.
We would like to pray for you, please use the form below to leave your request. You are what the Word says you are. You can do what the Word says you can do. You can have what the Word says you can have. Begin to believe that. Begin to say it out loud in faith

About Me
- A Christian who loves to write about christian living, spiritual health and self improvement. I pray daily that the love and grace of God will be poured out through my life to others, so that those who are in bondage can be delivered and the captives set free. I remind myself daily that whether or not I have "witnessed" I am still a witness in everything I do.
