Words are powerful! We must be aware of the impact the words we speak over ourselves and others. Our words bring life or death into situations and souls. Let's be vigilant about blessing and not cursing because according to the Word, we will reap what we sow and we will eat the words of our mouth. I don't know about you, but I don't want to eat words of hatred, bitterness, poverty, sickness or any other word that does not bring or produce blessings and life!

Words are powerful! We must be aware of the impact the words we speak over ourselves and others. Our words bring life or death into situations and souls. Let's be vigilant about blessing and not cursing because according to the Word, we will reap what we sow and we will eat the words of our mouth. I don't know about you, but I don't want to eat words of hatred, bitterness, poverty, sickness or any other word that does not bring or produce blessings and life! We don't want to speak harmful words that can wound not only our soul (mind, will & emotions) but the souls of other people. Proverbs 18:20-21 AMP (paraphrasing) A man's moral self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; death and life are in the power of the tongue, they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it (death or life.)
I love Proverbs 10:11 in the MSG translation, "The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse."
On Purpose
I pray that we would really come to realize that we have the power according the Word to produce life or death, not only within ourselves, but in the lives of others... Yes, even our enemies. I have been guilty of not blessing my enemies, but either thinking or speaking ugly things, and in my opinion, I believe that we do this out of hurt. Those that hurt are hurt themselves, therefore, we react or respond in an unhealthy way. My heart so desires and is striving to become more of a woman who speaks words of life and purpose which will produce hope and faith into everyone I come into contact with, using my speech to impact people, being a deep, life-giving well, even to myself.
Have a day filled with speaking blessings everywhere you go!
Love,
Shauna Carrington

Psalm 118:23-24 captivates me! I love when I wake in the morning hearing His loving kindness ministering to my heart. I love that we serve a God that has given us the ability to choose, the question is, "What will we choose this day?" Psalm 118:23-24 in the Passion says, "The Lord himself is the one who has done this, and it's so AMAZING, so MARVELOUS to see! 24 This is the day of the Lord that brings GLADNESS and JOY, filling our hearts with glee." Don't you just love this passage of scripture...His promise to you and I!

A few Saturdays ago I woke up fairly early and went on my walk at the park. As I began to walk I asked the Lord to lead me by His Spirit, that I would pray according to His heart, not mine and His plan, not mine. I committed to just pray in the spirit knowing that the Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth and He would sound in me the profound and bottomless things of God according to 1 Corinthians 2:9. As I was finishing up my last mile I heard these words rise up in my spirit, "You have entered into a new season. It's a season of reaping because of the weeping." I recall thinking, "Was that me??" and then I heard it again, "A season of reaping because of the weeping!"

Did you know that you and I are called and commissioned by the word of God to be an "Agent of Unity?" Matthew 5:9 says "Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor regardless of their outward condition) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons/daughters of God!" Unity in the Greek means to be united in soul, of one mind, one accord; to be co-spirited joined close together in tight identification. Peacemaker definition: A person who helps others solve a conflict and reach a peaceful solution; a person who tries to create harmony or make peace.
