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.
It keeps us going in tough times if we can speak to ourselves encouragingly, positively, and divinely.
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 hard, dark and difficult times, 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 take a seat in life and encourage ourselves internally.
To speak to yourself is a part of meditation.
 Speaking the right words to yourself internally is part of the many strategies we need for 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 the right words 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...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
