In the past few days, I have been reviewing the book of James. Without surrendered faith, you will have self-centered, short-sighted plans. When I reread that note written in my Bible, God reminded me of different times where I devised a plan and then prayed to God to bless the plans. How many times do we get it backward? Faith requires us to seek God for directions and then obey Him precisely. “You do not know what your life will be like tomorrow” is a reminder that our faith is blinded when we lose focus. Just a little mental note for all of us to seek God first and then plan.
There is life and death in the tongue. In the beginning, God created man to be in authority. Since the fall of man, many now see any so-called authority in our words, as crazy superstition or demonic. By perverting the concept, Satan has us speaking negative words in doubt and unbelief. We are literally cursing our own destinies because we do not understand that from the beginning, words were used to create. Now, evil uses words to destroy with constant negative, complaining, and destructive talk. It is everywhere, and the church is participating. Jesus has taken all authority from Satan and returned it to His children. Being ignorant concerning precisely what the blood of Christ at the cross has restored to us, we are still declaring ourselves destined for illness and great sorry on this earth. Many have confused trials and tribulations as one’s lot in life, so we then do not speak in authority against it because we believe Sovereign God wants us sick and hurting
