I thank God for the people who have believed in me through out my life. The words that they spoke over me and the encouragement that they have given me are beyond anything that money can buy. I think that we forget just how powerful our words are to those around us. Words are life or death. Our Father used words to create and to heal and He has entrusted us with the privilege of speech.
I was preaching last Sunday and I remember this story about Ben Hooper. It is a great story and I wanted to share it with all of you ... Please take the time to watch the 3 minute outtake of last Sunday. And remember you can make a difference in the life of those around you by your Words!

Amen! I think sometimes it is easy to forget just how quickly and how much you can impact someone's life. The struggle I continuously encounter however and have many times failed to say the "right" things is when my focus in on the challenge or difficult situation. It seems so easy...almost second nature to talk about the situation but very difficult to step back from the situation and hear what God has to say about it. Often times I will have a check in my spirit AFTER I've spent time wallowing in what is going wrong or not going as I would prefer and that voice reminds me that this too will pass and my focus is in the wrong place. Maybe I'm alone in this, but the challenge for me is keeping my focus so that I can respond correctly vs. what may come easiest! Ohh the battle of the flesh. Thanks for being a gentle voice reminding us to remember the power of our words!
