I have always known that the words that come out of my mouth are very important. Too often I am problem focused and speak to circumstances as they currently exist.
Romans 4:17 (KJV)
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
My speech should be filled with expectation and faith for our future. Why is it so easy to confess doubt and circumstance? That takes no faith. It may be more uncomfortable to speak faith into our lives because that language may not line up with what we are seeing.
Romans 10:8 (KJV)
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Matthew 21:21 (KJV)
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Even if it feels awkward, I am going to start trying to change the way I talk. I am going to make statements of faith, not because I have the power to make these. things come to pass, but because I have confidence that God can do it. This year I am going to be more proactive in professing and declaring my faith in God. I am going to speak the things that God has already provided for me and my family into existence. We will not accept living with less than what God says we are in Him.
This Blog will document this life changing journey.

I like this from Sam Rodriquez
When God shows up, it is not to confirm who you think you are, it is to affirm who HE knows you are.
The pit you went through this year does not define
you.
The problem you faced this year does not define you.
The hell you confronted this year does not define you.
Jesus Christ, his love, sacrifice, truth, grace and promise defined you.
You are a mighty warrior who came out of the pit in 2016 in order to thrive in 2017!
