Proverbs 6:2 KJV

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

You can't talk defeat and expect victory.

Jeremiah 1:7 KJV

But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

You may not see a way, but God has a way. You may not think that it's possible but God can do the impossible.

If you aren't careful, you can talk yourself out of a blessing.

Luke 1:18-20 KJV

And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

IF HE COULD SPEAK HE WOULD HAVE PROBABLY SAID STUFF LIKE "GOD MUST HAVE GOTTEN IT WRONG....I'M TOO OLD, ETC....

Psalm 141:3 KJV

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

You can't stop the thoughts but you can make sure it's still born. When you speak a negative thought you are sending invitations for negativity. Change the invitation.

Romans 4:17 NIV

As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

YOU MAY FEEL INADEQUATE BUT CALL YOURSELF EQUIPPED. YOU MAY FEEL SICK BUT CALL YOURSELF HEALED. ETC...

Joshua 6:10 NIV

But Joshua had commanded the army, "Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!"

2 Kings 4 Even though her only son was dead this was her response.

"...Run to meet her and ask her, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?'" "Everything is all right," she said." She spoke in faith.

Don't Take Things Personal

When we put immovable expectations on people then we are setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Don't take things personal. Look to God for your value.

Release people from the responsibility of making us happy.

Realize that all you can do is encourage others and do the best that you can.

If you can't encourage the people in your life and accept them for where they are right now, then they will never get to where they need to be.
