The words you speak will either make you or break you. Wrong thinking leads to wrong speaking and wrong speaking leads to wrong actions. These three deter the manifestation of God’s good plans and promises for our lives.
God used words to create the world. Jesus was conceived by the Word and His ministry was founded on the Word.
1 Peter 1:23 tells us that the Word of God is the incorruptible seed which never fails. In Hebrews 1:3 we learn that Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power.
Child of God, you have the same creative power as God. In fact you always have what you say. Your words and actions have created who you are today. Many of us don’t realize this, that is why we continue speaking contrary to God’s will. Jesus warned us against idle talk. But how can we protect ourselves from careless words?
Simple, renew your mind with the Word of God daily. Meditate on it day and night. Give the Spirit of Truth first place in your life and the Word of God will permeate your whole being.

Speak what you want
Though I found it easy to make the decision to change what I say, implementing it has been another matter. I have tried it for the past few days in vain! How do I do this?
I recall what Jesus said in John 15:4-5 "Abide in me and I in you. As......for without me you can do nothing." He also gave us the Helper, the Spirit of truth Who teaches us all things and leads us into all truth. Listening and doing what He teaches is the answer to all our problems.
"As a man thinks within, so is he!" (Proverbs 23:7) So without changing my way of thinking I am getting no where in my resolution. I have to change how I think by renewing my mind.
I have therefore decided to spend time reading the Word of God daily, meditating on it continually, listening to the Holy Spirit all the time and doing what the Word says.
If you been through the same struggle please share with us or check this blog tomorrow and be blessed.

Say what you want not what you feel
The Holy Spirit, my Mentor has been dealing with me concerning my tongue. My resolution for 2009 is to speak the blessing of God over my life and my loved ones regardless of the circumstances.
The Word of God is full of His promises and tells us His will for our lives. His plans for us are good. But how can we appropriate them? There are several things we have to do and one of them is guarding our tongues.
Charles Capps says in God’s creative Power: “Life and death are in the power of your tongue. Plant a crop for what you want not what you don’t want.” Page 130
Proverbs 18:20-21 says:
“A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled .
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” KJV
“The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.” KJV
When we speak contrary to God’s will for our lives, we speak like the wicked and we partake of his reward.
“The lips of the righteous nourish many.” (Proverbs 10:21)
May your words bless you and build your loved ones!
I wish you all a prosperous, fruitful and joyous 2009. I pray for the blessings of God to fill you, surround you and overtake you!
