Speak To Yourself

1 Samuel 30
Matthew 9:20-22

What we say with our hearts is as powerful as what we say with our mouth.
One of the master keys to success is our ability to speak the right words to ourselves.
That's part of how we stay motivated and inspired.
What you speak to yourself is what you will experience and manifest. Eg.King David in Ziklag and the woman with the issue of blood.

How you talk to yourself can make you or break you.
David could have given up on life when almost everything he and his men had labored for was taken away by his enemies in Ziklag.

To encourage yourself in the Lord your God is to convince yourself in your heart that God is good irrespective of what is happening around you.
To encourage yourself in the Lord your God is to speak to yourself that there is hope in God when you don't see any reason to be hopeful in life.

In this hard, dark and difficult world, the ability to speak the right words to yourself, words of the Bible is very necessary.
Right meditation produces right results.

There is an art to speaking to yourself and it will benefit us if we learn it.
There are times we will have to sit down in life and encourage ourselves internally.
To speak to yourself is a part of meditation.
To speak the right words to yourself internally is part of life's battles.

David spoke the right words to himself and God blessed him with the right reward. 1 Samuel 30:6
The woman with the issue of blood spoke the right words to herself and she got the right result. Matthew 9:21
She didn't allow her past to stop her.
She didn't allow all the money she had wasted to stop her.
She didn't allow the history she has of doctors and physicians taking her money to stop her from thinking right and reaching out to Jesus.

What are you saying in your heart?
Are you allowing doubt to rise in your heart and mind?
Do you encourage yourself?
Don't let your situation stop you from speaking right to yourself.

Another Bible character who spoke right to himself is the prodigal son. Luke 15:11-24
He was broke.
He had wronged his father.
He felt he didn't deserve  his father's love and acceptance anymore.
After suffering unnecessarily, he spoke to himself one day. Luke 15:17-20
Speaking right in his heart, right meditation, made him take the right step and he stepped into honor. Luke 15:22-24

God's Word should be our line of thinking and meditating when we speak to ourselves.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
