A Dear PJS,
This is a problem in many peoples lives. First, you need to know what the word of God says about your particular situation. Then declare what God says. For example, the word says that you are blessed to be a blessing to others. Debt is not a blessing. So lay hands on your bills and ask God for His way to be able to pay them off and live debt free. Then give God thanks that you hear His voice, will follow His way and become debt free. Next time your Mother speaks a negative word about your debt, say Mother this is what the word of God says and please pray and believe God with me that I am debt free and able to be a blessing to others. Don’t let a negative word take hold in your mind because what you think can become what you say and believe.

Believing God’s best for you,
Lauren

ADear Wanting healing,
I am so sorry for this happening in your life. But I think it happens to a lot of us during our lives. The hurt is deeper when the person is someone we have grown to love and trust. First, please remember she is hurting too. She is probably experiencing some difficult situation in her life. This is the best advice I can give you straight from the Bible. The Word says to pray for our enemies. You might be thinking, how can I pray for the person who has hurt me the most. I have experienced a similar situation, as well. The Lord spoke to my heart and said, you need to pray for your enemies. When we do something for 30 days it becomes a habit in our lives. So start praying for your friend believing God’s word for her. Also explain to her that what she did hurt you deeply but you are going to pray for her and forgive her. In a short time of praying if you open your heart to the Lord, soon He will fill you with compassion for her. We must remember we need to see people as the Lord sees them, beautiful people in need of a savior. I am challenging you to do this, and please let me know when you have been healed and restored by our precious Jesus.

Believing God’s best for you,

Lauren

With words like these you will have a hard time ever seeing healing or a child with a positive self esteem. There is power in our words.

In Proverbs 18:21 it says:

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.

In order to master self control we must control what we say. Words can cut and destroy peoples lives. They can leave an impression in a child’s mind that will be difficult to overcome. Your words bring prosperity and health or poverty and death. The Bible also says that the words we speak can and will shape our life.

Much in the Bible is dedicated to teaching us what to say.

James 3:6 says,

“And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.” NLT

James is comparing our tongues to a raging fire! The enemy uses the tongue to divide people, our fellow believers and yes, our own families. Idle words can cause great damage in your walk with the Lord. Scars from words spoken will remain long after we have said we are sorry. You have control over your tongue because it is in your head!

So think of your words as containers; when you release them from your mouth always let them contain FAITH! Line you your words with God’s word. You will speak life when you get into the word and learn to speak the way God wants you to. You have control of the rudder of your ship. Speak life into every situation and then believe what the Lord says. Give it a try and you will see amazing results!

To grow in God is to grow in Love. Growing in the Spirit means you have to grow up in your character .Every member of the Body of Christ needs to grow up and come into unity and harmony as one whole body of believers.

In Ephesian 4: 1-5 the scriptures says,

“Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2, Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 3. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. 4)For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.

God has chosen you and me to be His representatives right here where we live. This is an awesome privilege and responsibility that Jesus is trusting us with. So we must live worthy of the calling we have received. This includes being humble and gentle.

When we are gentle with people this is more conducive for maintaining unity. Because we have the love of Christ living in us we can make a choice to be patient with others and not judging each others faults. We need to be encouragers not discouragers!

The Holy Spirit leads but we must be willing to be led and to do our part to keep His peace. We can accomplish that by focusing on God, not ourselves.

As believers we can live our lives in His perfect peace. This is a real comfort to our souls. In these difficult times today we can rest in His peace. And we need to let others see our peace as this is another way we can share the Gospel.

Unity just doesn’t happen, we half to work on it every day. We should stand strong on what unites us: one body, one spirit, one future, and one Lord. Have you learned to appreciate the people who are different from you? No one is ever going to be perfect here on earth, so we need to accept and love each other and learn to pray for one another, encouraging each other to be all we can for Christ.
