It’s the day after the election, and everyone has an opinion. There is no end to all the voices that want to tell you how to feel. “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!” Psalm 139:17. I had to learn years ago to settle things with God before telling two special people in my life. They love me and are quick to try and protect me. What they were really doing was influencing my decisions. Matthew 16:23 shows how Jesus dealt with someone attempting to influence a decision, but in actuality, was going against God’s will. Emotions are funny that way, in that they can encourage you to sin against God. So today, instead of listening to people tell you what to feel, ask God how He feels about the issues. Allow Him the opportunity to guide you with His word, so you know what to do or say. He is the Creator of all. So spend time with Him to renew your mind instead of adding to the garbage.
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
