The last two years or so have been challenging for us as a family. Although this is true there are very few people in my life that I trust with any details about it so that I’m not giving the enemy more power in my life. I can tell you though the things we’ve been through even though they were tough for us it taught us both more about the Authority of God in us and how to function in it than any other times in our entire lives.

I personally have learned so much about the power of my words. That’s not to say I don’t make mistakes in conversation but I really try to be more aware of what I am saying and instead of expressing things negatively I either stay quiet or reword things in a positive aspect so as to not bring more spiritual warfare on myself than I ought to.

The power of life and death are in the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit.

I have really been learning for many years now to incorporate speaking forth God’s Word into my life by faith and even more especially while in dire circumstances. I and my husband have seen God do the impossible over and over again in my body and his body; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Not just changing our circumstances but changing us and making both my husband and I stronger in our faith together, teaching us important lessons to be passed along to others.

God’s Word says He takes all things and turns them around for our good and His glory. It can be amazing to look back and reflect at what has happened but see the glory of God in it. What was meant for our harm turned out for our benefit and strengthening.

We just have to know and expect that God’s Word has the power to project that glory into our lives. Sometimes it’s hanging on in faith while going through circumstances to see our faith move those mountains.

Just a word of encouragement keep your faith. God is FAITHFUL and you will make it through if you believe that in faith. Speaking forth the Word is your weapon of warfare to use and reaching to grow in your understanding. The Bible says in Proverbs that we are to cry out for understanding and wisdom. That’s no small task. That requires time and energy pursuing God and expecting Him to fulfill His Word. Otherwise it’s just religious. What’s the purpose of pursuing God if not for His amazing grace?

There is now no condemnation for Those who are in Christ Jesus.

No matter where you are or where you’ve been as long as you’re still breathing there’s time to see change in your life for the positive. Don’t settle to live in circumstances that limit your abilities. Push through those hard times with an attitude that says you’re not giving up. Do the impossible.

Fix your eyes on Jesus.

Your life is more than being about you. God has good plans for you to project Him to a lost and dying world.

Go after the Lord with all your heart. As if nothing else will change your circumstances except Him and see what happens.
