Hey all,
I really wanted to share something with you. Have you ever felt like God has been trying to tell you something urgently? At the end of September, God really starting dealing with me about my mouth and the words that came out of it. I had been having some issues and I asked God what was going on and He said "Your mouth is the problem".
My life changed the day I heard a powerful message about the Israelites and why their 11 day journey took 40 years because they murmured, griped and complained about everything including the manna God sent. Because they were so ungrateful God sent serpents that bit some of them and those people died.
Horrifying that God would do such a thing but I got the message right there and then I had to stop complaining and speaking negatively about my circumstances if I expect God to handle them or there would be terrible consequences. If I didn't stop saying things that I shouldn't then I wouldn't see the answers to my prayers. Some of them might take 40 years to get answered!
Since then I have been talking to God earnestly about my life and the challenges I face but I have been allowing God to work in my life by checking whatever I say, by bridling my tongue. So that means NO complaining, no gossiping, no negative confessions. What's the point of diluting the power of your prayers by talking about how bad your current circumstances are? If you have enough faith to pray, have enough faith to shut up and let God work, if not you are just wasting your breath praying.
When negative thoughts enter my mind, I say out loud, "no I'm passing this test, God you said ALL things are possible with you so I'm going with that" or some other scripture that clearly states that God is in control and has my back. I immediately feel better and know that an answer to my prayers is coming.
Before I started doing this I would talk to God and ask Him to help me do better at school and I would do a bit better. All last year I was struggling mind you, sometimes barely passing. I had my vision board and was praying but my tongue was doing its own thing and negating all my efforts. This semester, in the last month, I have gone from doing satisfactory work to doing excellent work and the only thing I changed in the last month was focusing on not saying anything negative or complaining about anything.
Because I have seen firsthand what the Bible says about the power of life and death being in the tongue, I can't go back to what I used to do. I like seeing progress. Remember that your words have power in the spirit realm. Of course I am now applying this to other areas of my life...
I hope this helps someone. Stop preventing God from working in your life by saying silly things. Life is much sweeter when you are working with God as a team. There is so much more I want to tell you about what I have found out in the last month but this post is long enough as it is.
God bless and may you live victorious!
