Pillars of clouds and fire...
Speak Life
Dear Friends:(If it is welcome and a blessing, send it on to others,Lee)
Ephesians
4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Yesterday I preached on backsliding, lifestyle and progress. Part of the message was about murmuring and how much it destroys the people, the leaders and the people we try to reach. It was one of the hardest messages, I have ever preached.
And yet there was a release in the spirit realm. Unperceivable to me at first, but as I receive calls today there is change. My heart for people, is that they would speak forth to edify, not to destroy. For if we can cast out demons with a word, is it hard to see the destruction we can cause. God created with the power of the spoken word.
Let us speak life, that lives would change. Confess (speak forth) those things that are good and pure over our lives and those of our friends, families and associations. How much more would lives change and be prepared for the word og God, if we declared the goodness of God into people's lives?
Let us agree to stop cursing people with our mouths by the negative words we speak forth. We need lifestyle changes. Edification says the scripture brings grace. Grace being that Power to overcome...Undeserved, unmerited favor... "unmerited divine assistance given man for his regeneration" says Websters. It means all that...and more.
I encourage you to edify, to build up someone today. Perhaps your child or your spouse, maybe your neighbor. Speak to edify.
Yesterday I realized that I had a church full of people hungering for the Word to be imparted. I also realized that they had grown. I give you testimony of the people who have grown because we encourage them to grow. I cried after service as I watched people with a spiritual temperature of dead, just weeks ago, share testimony of the great things God was doing. New jobs, restored marriages, release of spiritual gifts and outpourings of love.
I encourage you to receive the gifts that God has showered upon yo, that you may be a blessing to others. Share the Word, encourage someone, and watch the light go on.
We pray for you, each and every day. If this is an encouragement to you. Please tell us, and please email it to someone else. If you have a prayer request, please mail it to us. We want to stand with you, battling spiritual wickedness, seeing people made free. We want to serve our brother and sister.
In the Service of Christ for His Glory,
