You Can Speak Life
You can literally talk your way into victory or defeat. Everything that happens in your life is a result of words. Evaluate your words, especially what you say in non-religious settings, and train yourself to speak only what you believe.
Your life is a product of the words you hear and speak.
Sin abounds in a multitude of words; however, the person who refrains their lips is wise (Proverbs 10:19).
Controlling your tongue positions you to enjoy life and see good days (1 Peter 3:10).
Your mouth is an entrance into your heart.
Ask God to help you guard your mouth (Psalm 141:3).
Your soul and body are impacted by right words (Proverbs 16:24).
You keep your soul from being troubled by guarding your mouth (Proverbs 21:23).
Right words will cause your body and soul to line up with the Word.
The words of your mouth will bring joy (Proverbs 15:23).
When you words are not right, they will break down your spirit (Proverbs 15:4).
Many things that happen in your life are the results of words.
You make a declaration with your words.
You have a heavenly grant available to you (John 14:12-15).
It's your confession that brings your salvation to pass (Romans 10:10).
You are justified or condemned by the words you speak (Matthew 12:36).
Your words can trap and ensnare you (Proverbs 6:1, 2).
Evaluate every word you speak and speak only what you believe.
Because Jesus trained Himself to only speak what He believed, He was able to see immediate manifestation from His Words (Mark 11:12-23).
Do you believe everything you say?
Until you start consistently believing what you say, you will not see immediate manifestation of the Word.
What you speak from the Word is nullified when you make a habit of speaking words you don't believe.
Train your heart for immediate manifestation by speaking only what you believe.
Avoid deceiving your heart by speaking words you don't believe.
Evaluate what you say in non-religious settings.
Don't allow what you say in non-religious settings to challenge the Word of God you speak.

Overcoming Difficult Times
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God"
(Psalm 42:5-6, NIV).
TODAY'S WORD
When times get tough, don´t be surprised if you feel a heaviness trying to overwhelm you. Don´t be surprised if you hear negative thoughts telling you, "It´s never going to work out. Things are never going to get better. It´s over. It´s done." When those thoughts come, remember, you have a choice–you don´t have to believe those lies. You don´t have to get on board with your emotions.
In the Bible, David encountered many difficult situations. That spirit of heaviness tried to steal his destiny. He got depressed and discouraged, but do you know what he did? He started talking to himself. He said, "Why are you cast down, oh my soul? Put your hope in the Lord." He was saying, "David, snap out of it! Why are you discouraged? Why have you lost your joy? God is still on the throne, and He still has good things in store." When that heaviness tries to come on you, do what David did. As you put your trust in the Lord and praise Him, He´ll give you His strength and empower you to overcome every obstacle you may face!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for the strength to overcome the difficult times. I choose to shake off the spirit of heaviness by praising and worshiping You. I bless You today and always. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

Daily Parenting Devotional
Surrender
1 Cor 3:6-7: "I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth".
We can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to produce "successful" kids, and there is no question parenting requires a lot of hard work. But, what exactly is our role in the process? In this passage, Paul explains the role of a teacher. We believe it applies just as well in the family.
Parents are God's representatives in the family, and that role is crucially important. In the end, however, we have to surrender the results to God because He is the One "who causes the growth". He will grow our children into His design. While it is difficult to let go of our "design" and surrender our kids to God, it is God's will that they grow less dependent on us and more dependent on Him.
You cannot force your child to grow up to be a Godly person, but you can be a Godly parent. Use experience, example and exploration to "plant and water", and surrender the results to God.

Power from the Holy Spirit
1 Cor 2:12-13: "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words".
Parenting is a tough job, but we have the ultimate Helper to guide us. When we became believers, we were filled with the source of parenting wisdom - the Holy Spirit. When confronted with difficult decisions concerning choices, consequences or a lack of empathy, a mature Christian knows that turning to "the Spirit who is from God", rather than "the spirit of the world" yields the kind of response that is impossible under our own power. When we turn to the Spirit before we turn to our children, we can speak with the wisdom of God, rather than "human wisdom".
There are no parenting guides more valuable than the Holy Spirit and prayer.

THE WORD WORKS!!!
Through faith I know that I can cast, not timidly give, but cast all my cares upon You (I Pe 5:7, Phil 4:6 & Ps.54:22). That by hoping in You I have renewed strength (Isa.40:31), perfect peace (Isa.26:3), and will remain in Your everlasting arms (Deut.33:27). Since You give me my strength, I can do everything through You (Phil.4:13). Even though my adversary the devil prowls about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (I Pe.5:8), I have been given Victory in my Lord Jesus Christ (I Cor.15:57) and shall lack no good thing though the lion shall grow weak (Ps.34:10).
You have given me the choice, and I choose life through Your grace (Deut.30:19). Having chosen life, I know that not one of Your promises has ever failed (Josh 23:14), that You do not speak without acting (Nu.23:19), nor does Your Word return unto You void (Isa.55:11). I know that these promises are for today, for in this world I am like Jesus (I John 4:17). I am to act on Your will that I may become pure and blameless in this generation (Phil 2:15) and thereby present myself to You spotless and without wrinkle when You return (Eph.5:27). I shall not pray my problems and thereby become ensnared by the words of my mouth (Prov.6:2), for You know what I need before I pray (Matt.6:8). Rather, I shall pray the solution through Your Word knowing that I have received (I John 5:15). I know that as I lift these words unto You in prayer they will be fulfilled (Ps.145:19) and my faith will grow. (Ro.10:17).
IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

SOMETIMES IN LIFE
The greatest tests are the ones we view as stupid
We forget to tell those who are important to us just how much we care
We forget that every cloud has a silver lining
We view our problems as though they can never be solved
We forget that there is always a tomorrow
We hold onto the past like it can help us through today
We see challenges as a trial, forgetting that trials are what give us character
We forget to smile, laugh and be happy,, God love you
You are the apple of his eyes
Life is a wonderful gift, how we accept things in life depends on how we see ourselves
Life is wonderful, we meet wonderful people, have great relationships, share wonderful secrets and moments and get to be loved and to love
Do not take life for granted
May yours be filled with love and happiness ALWAYS!!!
“The secret of Happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it”
Have a colourful day!!!!!!
and Keep smiling!!!
Stay Blessed, I Am!!!!!!!

Life Steps
Our entire life is made up of choices,
What we decide,
the action we take,
the attitude we display
All represent the steps of life.
Sometimes we take two steps forward
And one-step back.
Some of us take baby steps
Some of us take giant steps
But the secret is not to let that
one step back turn into a failure.
Learn from backward steps
And keep on stepping forward in this dance
Called Life!

Never Give Up
Sir Winston Churchill took three years getting through eighth grade because he had trouble learning English. It seems ironic that years later Oxford University asked him to address its commencement exercises.
He arrived with his usual props. A cigar, a cane and a top hat accompanied Churchill wherever he went. As Churchill approached the podium, the crowd rose in appreciative applause. With unmatched dignity, he settled the crowd and stood confident before his admirers. Removing the cigar and carefully placing the top hat on the podium, Churchill gazed at his waiting audience. Authority rang in Churchill's voice as he shouted, "Never give up!"
Several seconds passed before he rose to his toes and repeated: "Never give up!" His words thundered in their ears. There was a deafening silence as Churchill reached for his hat and cigar, steadied himself with his cane and left the platform. His commencement address was finished.

Enough happiness to keep you sweet,

Enough success to keep you eager,
Enough friends to give you comfort,
Enough wealth to meet your needs;
Enough enthusiasm to look forward,
Enough faith to banish depression,
Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday.

Count That Day Lost
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And, counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went-
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if, through all the livelong day,
You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay-
If, through it all
You've nothing done that you can trace
That brought the sunshine to one face-
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost-
Then count that day as worse than lost.
And count the acts that you have done,

But if, through all the livelong day,
