Transform Your World With Your Words

In order to grow and gain victory over our challenges, we must examine our thinking and speaking.  Realize that God created the universe by His Word and we are created in His image.  So just as God created all we see with His spoken Word, OUR words carry creative powers.  We must be aware of and cautious with the words that pour from our mouths because they carry the power to build up or tear down (especially with our children).  If we speak blessings over our children, we will see that come forth.  If we speak fear, worry and regret over them, we will see those things manifested in their lives.  

God has used many influences in my life to transform my thinking and speaking.  Of course, scripture is transformative and carries great power and teaches us how to live and breathe and hope in Him.  There are many wonderful ministers and authors who have written books and produced video teachings that have been invaluable to me in my journey to find answers.
 
As we grow in our understanding, we realize that everything is a process—there are no quick or simple fixes to the problems and challenges that we face daily.  At times the journey may be short and sweet and sometimes the paths of discovery are long and arduous—and others prove to be bittersweet at the end.  Once we come through a time of challenge and discovery, we have learned invaluable information about ourselves and about God that maybe could not have been gained any other way.  Thanks and praises to God for not giving up on us - His patience and faithfulness is so comforting. 
 

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
