A Matter of Life and Death

Plant the seed of God's Word by prayer and confession (profession)

Proverbs 15:4  A wholesome tongue is a tree of life.

Example prayer and confession: My child has a wholesome tongue. He uses it for life and blessing.

Sheep Thoughts
A message from one sheep to the rest of the flock.

Is Satan trying to scare you to death? Don't buy the lie. The truth is, he no longer has the power of death. According to Hebrews 2:14---Jesus took on the nature of human beings and by going through death, brought to nought and made of no effect him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. Who had. Past tense. The devil is a "has been".

Where, then, is the power of death? Proverbs 18:21 tells us that it resides in your tongue. Even better news is that life also rests in your tongue. Death and life are in the power of the tongue...Prov. 18:21 Speak life words. God words. Enforce life.

Have a SMART MOUTH
I do not speak the things which man's wisdom teaches, but the things the Holy Spirit teaches. I Corinthians 2:13

From Enemy to Champion

I read this verse in the Bible the other day. "He who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the very faith he once reviled and which he set out to ruin and tried with all his might to destroy." Galatians 1:23

Some of you may have men in your life who don't share your faith. They may actively revile your faith by setting themselves up against it with vigor and energy. Or they may be quietly killing your faith with their disinterest and apathy. Whatever the case, cheer up! We see here in Galatians, the account of Paul's turn around. His change from faith enemy to faith champion. This description of Paul's conversion fits into the category of a precedent. A precedent is a very strong basis for prayer.

Anytime you find a precedent in God's Word for a provision, a miracle, a need supplied, a prayer answered, it is indication that it is not exclusive. It means you can also receive that provision, miracle, need supplied, or prayer answered. It means it's available to anyone who believes God is willing.

Believe it. Receive it.

Stay Constant in Prayer.
