The hour has come and I will keep silent because I will not let the devil open a door. Help me Lord not to speak vain, useless words. The quieter I am, the more I sense God's presence, the more I hear people, hear the needs of people.
Think and speak with wisdom. When someone wants to help another do not say a negative word to prevent them from doing good. Whenever you feel you just cannot handle things, stop trying to be in control and let God be in control. Do for others in secret, do not brag about it, do not exaggerate about what you do to help because it is of no value to God when you talk about how you help others. Do not offer to help someone in need and then not keep to your word. Do not hoard, God gives for us to share. Have a positive mindset.
Do not stare at your circumstances, see whats in your heart and go for it, do not underestimate the power of speaking God;'s name. See real change. The words we speak can either build us up or break us. Your words can literaly change the quality of life. Learn to speak God's promises.
'God I thank you for whatever it is you are going to do'
You don't need a wishbone, you need a backbone, refuse to be denied.
Say - "If anybody can get out of debt, I can, if anybody can be healed so can I". Joy and peace can be found in believing, when you believe, you receive. God gives us faith to get us through the not seeing times. Trust God just like you trust what you see in the mirror. Keep your dreams and visions in front of you.
Write down all the good things that God has done for you, it's a good warfare when things are tough. Always keep smiling and trust in God, he never gives us more than we can bear but stand firm in faith, do not blame God for the things we do. When you pray say "Lord, I thank you for your great love and great mercy, for washing away my sins, for healing me, I receive your forgiveness now, for taking care of my every need, for always standing by me"
Grace is the purity of the Holy Spirit, freely given to us by God as a gift enabling us to receive God's love and mercy and help us to do whatever it is we have to do or want to do with God's commands in mind and by following the narrow and righteous path. You cannot give away what you do not have (mercy, humility, sharing, understanding and time)
God if you don't help me, there is no help for me.
Believe that you can do anything that God asks you to do.
Believe that God can change anything and anyone.
Believe that anything that you do wrong, God can take it and make it into something good.
Believe what God says about you in his word.
Believe that God has chosen you to be his child.
Believe that you can hear from God abd be gifted with the Holy Spirit.
I know who I am in Christ and I know God is with me.

When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop--thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown" (Mark 4:14-20).

This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' ' So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.'

The Dead Sea is the saltiest lake in the world. It is called "dead" because the high salinity prevents any fish or other visible aquatic organism to live in its water. The high density of the water also causes a curious phenomenon: it is impossible for a bather to sink. Its surface is the lowest point on Earth, at an elevation of 417 below sea level.
