Be Careful Little Ears What You Hear

The other day, I started watching a video on social media that immediately stirred up anger inside me. Suddenly I felt God ask me what I was doing. I had to laugh and say, “I have no clue.” Why do we watch or listen to things that steal our joy? We teach little ones the song that says, “Be careful little ears what you hear.” Mark 4:24a teaches us, “Take care what you listen to.” So, this advent, I like to challenge us to refrain from news, whether social or cable and spend that time with God. Listen to a sermon or praise music. My husband and I are spending the morning listening to a national prayer group and discussing what was said.

Most of the time, joy is vacuumed away from us by people speaking discord into our life. When it comes to gossip, all you can do with it is sin. Well, I think most social media and cable news have turned into some weird gossip rag under the guise of information leading listeners to sins of indignation. If you are having a hard time finding joy this Christmas, check out what your ears are hearing. 
Find your joy spending quality time with the Prince of Peace. Please consider taking this challenge and encourage others also.

There is Life and Death in the Tongue

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 hur...

I Beg You

Please note, I wrote this post for my fellow followers-in-Christ. My middle sister has retired in a community that is set up specifically for older citizens. The one-story-brand-new home has everything you would need to provide safety and convenience. They have made many friends with the same interest and most of all; they feel safe. Last night I had a dream my sister and her husband decided to sell this home. They bought a dilapidated home. As I walked up to the house, the yard was grown up past our head. You could barely see it had a fence around the yard. When I went in, the walls were filthy and worn. Everything in the home was so old it was falling apart. Here is the funny part. They were so happy and proud of this old home and kept referring to the brand-new home as disgusting. In my mind, I was pleading, “Please tell me that you did not sell your home; you will not be happy with this old house.” Suddenly I woke up, very upset. Immediately God spoke to me to tell me what the drea...
