What is coming out of my mouth?

Have you ever had a thought but decided it was something that didn't need to be said? Or maybe looked at a situation and wished that you could say something positive about it or maybe even say the very opposite of what you saw? Then it may be time for you to ask yourself, "What is coming out of my mouth?"

The world is filled today with people and their affirmations. New Age religions are all about the self and the power one has within themselves to change their lives. But did you know that God addressed this from the beginning of time? The major difference is that we, as Christians, know that we are powerless without Christ and no matter how many times we say " I Can", we can't if it's not in Christ!

Just like affirmations, or confessions, can turn things around into positives, so can negative words we say everyday...... " I'm too short." ; "I'm too slow" ; "We don't have the money" ; "I'm not worthy" ; "He's not smart enough" ; "She can't understand that"

EVERYTHING we say has an impact - either positively or negatively!

The next time you being bombarded with negative thoughts and feelings, try looking at things through the eyes of Faith instead of fear. Remember the promises throughout the Bible that God gives us for our lives. Read Psalm 91. Read the Psalm 91 books written by Peggy Joyce Ruth & Angela Ruth Schum- available as donation only copies, not to be sold. In fact, if you'd like a copy, contact me and I will get one to you free! For more info on the books, you can visit Peggy Joyce Ruth Ministries. And then begin to make Biblical based confessions such as:

" No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgement I condemn"
( Isa. 54:17 )

"I am established in righteousness, and oppression is far from me"
(Isa. 54:14)

"I am delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son"
( Col.1:13 )

"I do not have the spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind."
( 2 Tim 1:7)

These are just some examples of the millions of prayers and confessions that come straight from God's Word! He equipped us from the start!! Ask God to show you.....

"Lord, we thank You that You have already given us the equipment we need. All we have to do is pick it up and use it in Faith and in the Name of Jesus! We thank you, Jesus that Your blood covers us and protects us. We thank You for Your provision, protection and power! Lead us and guide us in using all of these how we should. In Jesus Name we pray - Amen"

Excellence of the Restored Nation

I asked God to show me a passage in the Bible that I could share here tonight, and boy did He answer! This is God talking to Jeremiah about Israel and basically how they would be over taken by Nebuchadnezzar but then also how He would restore them.

Jeremiah 33:
3 "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
4 "For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been pulled down to fortify against the siege mounds and the sword:
5 ' They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill their places with the dead bodies of men whom I will slay in My anger and My fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden My face from this city.
6 ' Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heals them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 'And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return and will rebuild those places as at first.
8 ' I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me.
9 ' Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.' "

His promises continue on and on, in fact, I would highly suggest taking some time to read and study Jeremiah, I know I am!

Now, what do I get from this? HOPE!!!!

God's promises to the nation, aren't just for the nation, but for us - individually, our families, our communities!

Sometimes, when we have strayed so far away from God, when we have let the enemy, the devil, have control over us - many times not even realizing it - God may decide to let an opposing force win a battle over us, just to get us on our knees! Then He can begin the healing...

" Behold I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth" - Remember Jesus is referred to as the way, the TRUTH and the life and He is also the Prince of PEACE. He came not to condemn the world to bring us life - more abundantly!

He then restores us, bringing us back to how we were when we first came to accept him... " And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first" We are those captives and those places are our lives!

"I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me." - He cleanses us from all unrighteousness just as soon as we turn back to Him!

Then He will gain the Honor and praise when others look at us and see where we have been, where we are and where we are going! " Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it."

God wants to prosper us, in all ways, not just in the financial sense of them word, but in all that we do, in all that we are!

If you have been touched by this, or if God is speaking to you about this, please feel free to leave a comment, I would love to hear from you!

" Dear Heavenly Father, our great Provider and Healer. We thank You that even when we have turned away from You, we still have an opportunity to come back to You and know that You will welcome us with open arms. It's never too late! We thank You, Lord for Your undying love and never ending forgiveness. We praise You that when You forgive us, it is forgotten! As far as the East is to the West, that's the depth of Your forgiveness! We thank You that You bring healing to our lives and set us free from the bonds of sin and death! We want to bring You praise and honor and be a joy unto You, Lord! In Jesus' name we pray - Hallelujah and Amen! "

A Warning to our Nation....

....but not just our nation, any nation, and to us individually.

Isaiah 30: 1-3

" 'Woe to the obstinate children,' declares the Lord, 'to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin; who go down to Egypt without consulting me; who look for help to Pharaoh's protection, to Egypt's shade for refuge. But Pharaoh's protection will be your shame, Egypt's shade will bring you disgrace. ' "
