Pastor has asked me to preach this Sunday. I will be sharing out of the book of James, chapter 3.
Our words (our tongue) are so very important. I have been sharing this with my kids over the last few weeks. Every time I make a declaration of faith in our home, Abby says, "Your steering the family ship dad!" She is right! Our words are full of power! Some people got weird about this years ago and the phrase "blab it and grab it" came about. The truth is...we will have what we say (Proverbs 18:21 - The power of life and death is in the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit). Think about it this way - how was the world formed? God said let there be light, and there was! How are you saved? By confessing with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. If your eternal destiny is determined by the confession of your mouth (with faith in your heart), don't you think what goes on in your daily life can be affected by your words too? Ha! God is good! Today my friends, I challenge you to make the right confession with your mouth over your marriage, your children, your financial situation - whatever - and watch God begin to move on your behalf!

Maybe this photo is TMI (too much information), but a few have asked about how I am healing up.
The sting ray "sting" was more like a knife slicing and stabbing me. I have been trying to rest and keep my foot elevated, but we have SO MUCH to do to get ready for the opening of our school (www.UvitaChristianAcaedmy.org) that it is difficult for me to sit idle... The prayers that have gone out for me from literally all over the world are so appreciated. Through this whole ordeal The Lord has been speaking to me to "HOLD FAST." Not to give in to frustration, fear or depression. He did not cause this to happen, but I am ever confident that He is going to use it for our good. The privilege of sharing Jesus with the people in this godless community is a big deal...the enemy does not like that we are here accomplishing so much by the grace of God, but he is the loser! We have the victory and will continue to press through. Thanks for your love and support! Be sure to email us and let us know what is going on in your world and how we can pray for you! |
