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.
