Say, say, say what you want!

Happy Sunday!

"Never acknowledge for one moment that God's ability and power can't put you over.  God is greater than any force that can come against you!" - Brother Kenneth E. Hagin.  

So often we need to be reminded that we serve the True and The Living God.  God created the Universe with His words.  He's all powerful, and he's on our side.  When the Psalmist was going through a rough patch, he reminded himself, "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I."(Psalm 61:2, KJV).  He knew that God was on a higher level, a higher plain. He knew that no matter where he was, or what he was going through he could call on God.

We have to be reminded as well.  We tend to forget so easily.  That's why it's good to read and meditate on the Word of God daily.  The world seems to be spinning out of control.  People are doing dastardly things. Just a few minutes watching the news, and I'm asking myself, "What were they thinking?"  For sure, they are not thinking about loving one another, they are not thinking about being unselfish, and they are not thinking with confidence that God will provide.  So people are killing, stealing, lying, and hurting others.  The Apostle Paul warned us, "If you continue hurting each other and tearing each other apart, be careful, or you will completely destroy each other."(Galatians 5:15, Easy-to-Read Version).

Brother Kenneth E. Hagin also said, "No person ever rises above the confession of their faith".  Again, another exhortation to watch what we are saying.  Speak only what you want to see in your life.  Speak only what you want to see in your children, your business, your relationships, and your environment.  Philippians 4:6-9 says it best, "Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies."(Message).
