Is your tongue ruining you?

No, this is not an ad for a new mouthwash or tongue brusher. I'm talking about what is coming out of your mouth in the way of words. Do your words line up with what you say (most of the time) you believe? Do you speak about where you're going or only where you've been? If you are trying to lose weight are you just stating the fact that you are overweight ("I'm fat!") or are you speaking into existence what you want the end result to be? "I am on my way to my ideal weight."

Last year's craze with the book "The Secret" spread throughout the world like wildfire what many Bible believing folks have already known for years. Our thoughts and especially our words have problem. So why has 2008 seemed to be such a disaster for most? What happened to all of those "The Secret" followers in 2008 and the Bible believers who were so upset about the followings of "The Secret" because they felt that it just copied the bible. After all of that hubbub 2008 should have kicked off to be a banner year.

I think the problem is what we are speaking about this year. After all of the reading and arguments and book club discussions our conversations this year have changed. This year we are talking 24/7 about how the gas prices are out of control, food prices are outrageous, our bellies are growing due to obesity and people are losing their jobs daily. This is the talk wherever you go. Church, Work, Supermarket lines. We are spending so much time stating the obvious that I wonder, just wonder what would happen if we all changed our cofession to talk about how gas prices are going down, the economy is taking a turn for the better. The bible talks about how God spoke things into existence that did not yet exist (Romans 4:17 states - ((As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.))

Am I naive enough to think that just a spoken word can change a nation instantaneously? How about an entire nation of people speaking the same thing? Have you tried it? The next time I hear about the rising gas prices, I will confess "And so is my income. So is my wealth and yep , I am going to start confessing that the prices are going down.

Who's with me?

This is my Daily Confession for my personal Life - You should create something that speaks to what you want in your life as well.


I am a Woman of the Word!
God’s Word is In Me and my spirit is lined up and so full of the word that it oozes from my lips as a healing balm to me, my family and all those who encounter me. (John 15:7)

I am Healthy!
I am losing weight and my body is lining up to its ideal weight
My joints and spine are healthy and I am pain free.
My female organs are free from any disease that resides in my bloodline and immune to those that the enemy would try to place on me. (Isaiah 53:5)

I am a woman of wealth!
I am a business woman of integrity and clients of integrity with sure finances seek me out and pay me what I am worth in a timely manner. (Isaiah 48:17)

My husband loves me like Jesus loves his bride!
My husband is known in the gates because of my prayers and my words and is able to gain great financial wealth daily. He is more than willing and able to provide great abundance and wealth for our household. (Ephesians 5:25)

I am a mother that encourages her child to excel and he rises up and is now among great people because he is my seed. His wealth is already being created and will remain all the days of his life. (Proverbs 31:28)

My house is a house of peace and beauty. My home is beautiful and all things are in working order. My next house is already being perfected for my family. (Psalm 127:1)

My days are filled with activities that will catapult me into my destiny fulfillment. (Proverbs 31:27)

I am a wise steward of my time and finances and my bank accounts are growing daily. My savings are expanding and I have multiple streams of income. (Proverbs 31:16)

I have everything that I need to produce and promote the ministry that God has given me and He has already prepared the resources. (2 Peter 1:3)

I am a Kingdom Builder. People are better for having been in my presence and I am a sower. God is continually giving me seed. All seeds that I sow are already in place to be returned to me 100 fold now! (2 Corinthians 9:10)

Now let your tongue write your Destiny

What is "Destiny"?

Destiny. What a powerful and mysterious word. When spoken it yields such impact and yet most of us are not sure how it applies to our individual lives. It sound great to speak of it to others, "My destiny!" It sounds like you're going to accomplish some great feat like saving the world or martyring yourself for the lives of others doesn't it?

One of Webster's definitions of destiny is "a predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency".

PreDetermined. Course of Events. Irresistable Power. Is that what you think of when you think of destiny? Do you believe that what you are called to be is going to happen no matter what?

I believe that destiny is something to be pursued. I believe that life should be spent finding out where it is that God would have you end up without your help. Why pursue it? Because life is nothing without obtaining that for which we were born.

As long as we live and do not know our purpose, we are unhappy, unfulfilled and waiting for life to happen to us rather than have us happen to life.

We humans have been given such power. While God is all-seeing and all-knowing, we humans hold the power to make change. And as Michael Jackson said, "I'm starting with the man in the mirror."

Begin to think about what you want to change in your life and how you have total control over it and YOU be the one to change.

Here's an exercise:

Go to the mirror. Yes, you. Go to the mirror and tell yourself "I am the change that I want to be." Ask God what needs changing and be about it. Don't let another moment go by without working on you.

Work on that attitude, work on that complaining mouth and mind. Yes, it is complaining even if it's only in your mind. Work on the thing that makes you afraid to step up and step out.

Till next time. Make that change!
