"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."Proverbs 18:21

I have a Christian friend who constantly talks about his problems. Every single time I talk to him he tells me how bad things are going in his life and how much he is lacking. Interestingly, in all the years I've known him and prayed for him, things have only gotten worse. Though he has come to believe in the God of victory, he is not living a victorious life. How many of us are in this boat? I have another friend who has experienced many hard things in his life. But ever since this friend gave his life to the Lord some years ago, his attitude has changed completely. He is grateful, so very grateful for God's salvation and goodness toward him. Though he began his walk with the Lord with nothing, he has been excited at what God has in store for his life and has often spoken in great faith for his future. This boy has come so far. I have watched him blossom as God has done amazing things in his life. He is now part of a thriving ministry and the Lord is using him mightily. He has blessed him with a home, a car and finances and he reaches out to many with all that he has. It's beautiful. It seems clear, yet took us some time to realize that the thoughts we think and the things we say are so much more powerful than we can imagine. They are life or death to our ministry, our relationships, our finances and everything else. Brothers & Sisters, are you struggling something today? It's time to start looking up! Stop complaining! Start speaking in faith! Watch how the Lord turns things around! ARE YOU BURDENED AND HEAVY LADEN?
