Good Afternoon Church Family! God is able and faithful! Happy Mother's Day to all of our Church Family Mom's!! You are an amazing group of women and I speak blessings on you this Mother's Day! I call all of your children saved, set free and set on fire for the Lord! I call in every financial blessing the Lord has for you and if there is anything holding it back in the name of Jesus I say, be loosed! I call all of you healed, healthy and whole and your later years will be greater than your former years and with long abundant life will our heavenly Father satisfy you! I say you will not lack for any good thing and that you will receive good and perfect gifts from your Father in heaven. I honor each of you today and bless you in the name of Jesus!
This past week my mom (Happy Mother's Day to you!!!) was sharing with me how the Lord has been showing her afresh the importance of our words. It's something that most of us already know but it's good to be reminded again of the power that we have in our tongues for life and for death. My mom said that she saw someone on TV who was not even a Christian talking about how important it is to speak good things about yourself and your body. Scientists have proof now that when you speak good things about yourself, your self esteem is better and your body actually lines up with what you say. (Imagine that! The Bible is right! :) Then she had someone send her a video of a pastor talking about the same thing. If all you say is you're terrible and a loser and you'll never do anything good... that's what you will be. But if you say, I can do all things through Christ and I am beautifully and wonderfully created and I have an abundant life... then that's what you will be. She shared that a third time she heard Rick Renner on his post share that life and death are in the power of the tongue! All three in one week!
As Christians we know what the Bible says about the power of our words but sometimes we forget or let things slide but in the days we live in we can't let that happen. We need to be declaring over us and our families and our cities and state and country what God says about us! How many people are right now saying about our country, "Well the US is just going to pot. We can't get anything right. We will never be united again." Words have power and words create. Instead of saying those things (even if that does look like what's happening) we should be declaring, "This country was established on the Word and the Word won't return void! Our nation is blessed and prosperous and thriving. The US is the United States and that's exactly what we are a UNITED people!" I think the Lord knew we needed to be called the United States of America just as Abram needed to be called Abraham. Every time we say it we are calling things that be not as though they were. We are declaring in faith that we are a united country! Even those who aren't saved still are saying the name and it is a declaration over our nation! How cool is that?
Moms, isn't it time to start using our words to speak life into our health? Into our finances? Into our children and families? Into our churches? And into every situation where it looks like the enemy is winning? Guess what? We overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb... he did his part AND the Word of our testimony! Now it's time to do our part and declare with our words His Word. Don't wait another minute! Ask the Holy Spirit to put a watch on your tongue. Ask him to show you where you need to change what you are saying and when he shows you, repent and change! Then find promises in the Word for that situation and start declaring what God says about it. Then be watchful for the changes and breakthroughs that ARE going to happen because God is faithful and will bring it to pass. Hallelujah! Really this isn't just for moms this is for every believer. Let's put this into practice in our lives and watch what our words do! Amen? Amen! This weekend, take a moment to tell your mom (or other "mom" figures in your life) thank you. And don't wait until Mother's Day or a special holiday to share with the people you love. Use your words to create gratefulness, love and blessing and this weekend, start with moms! Have a blessed weekend, Church Family! Blessings, Pastors Sheli and Steve
