Speak God’s Mind

by Joyce Meyer - posted February 26, 2015

Hear, for I will speak excellent and princely things; and the opening of my lips shall be for right things.

- Proverbs 8:6

One of our biggest mistakes we make is that we sometimes answer people too quickly, just giving them something off the top of our head. Only a fool utters his whole mind (see Proverbs 29:11 KJV). Those who speak frequently and hastily are always in trouble, as the Bible says, There are those who speak rashly, like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18).

Jesus operated in wisdom. He always knew just the right thing to say, at just the right moment, to astound everybody. If we don’t spend enough time with God, we will say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Decide to wait on God before speaking your mind today.

Our Words are Seeds

by Joyce Meyer - posted February 24, 2015

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

- Hebrews 4:13 NLT

Every action is a seed we sow, and we will reap a harvest from our seeds. Our words, thoughts, attitudes, and actions are all seeds that we sow, and seeds produce harvest. Sow mercy; reap mercy. Sow judgment; reap judgment. Sow kindness; reap kindness. If you don't like how your life is right now, I have good news for you. You can change your life by sowing right seeds.

If you're not in a good place in life, you didn't make one wrong choice to end up where you are, and you can't make one right choice to get yourself out of it. Change won't happen overnight. But if you invest your life in learning what is the right thing to do and then do it with God's help, you will reap the harvest.

Power Thought: With God's help, I'm sowing good seeds every day of my life.

Equipped to Meet the Needs of Others

by Joyce Meyer - posted February 19, 2015

And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity].

- 2 Corinthians 9:10

God blesses us so we can bless others. He wants us to have our needs met, and He wants us to be equipped to help people who are in need. This is one reason God promises to provide for us and to do so abundantly.

To help other people, we need strength, good health, and clarity of mind. We need money to help people who are struggling financially. We need clothes to be able to share with people who need them. We need joy to help those who are in despair. God always provides these things— and more— as seed to a person who is willing to sow (see 2 Corinthians 9:9– 10).

This means, if you are thankful for what you have and willing to share with others, God will not only meet your needs, He will give you an abundance of supply so you will always be able to give. We can all win the battle against stinginess by simply practicing generosity.

Prayer of Thanks

I thank You, Father, that You bless me so I may bless others. Help me to see the needs around me, and help me to do my part to meet those needs. Thank You that there have been people who have helped me along the way. With Your help, I want to do the same for others.

I salute you !

February is my favorite month of the year because my people are celebrated! African Americans play a major role in society and history. One special person is Maya Angelou. During her childhood she had to overcome a lot of pain and struggles but she channeled that into poetry. Taking your pain and turning it into your pedestal resembles strength and compassion. Maya inspires me that no matter where you come from, or what you've been through, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! I used to always wonder why God allowed certain things to happen, but now I understand it's all to strengthen us, and someone else. Thank you Maya Angelou for being YOU and allowing God to shine through YOU! 

Look of the Day!

In a perfect world it would be 75 degrees everyday! However, I live in Kansas City and it only about 20 degrees at the most today!! BURRRRRRR it's cold out there :) 

BUT just because it's cold doesn't mean you can't be cute and comfy. Today's style inspiration is dedicated to layering! Layering is great for the winter season but you don't want to overdue it and look bulky. Below is the perfect example for layering in the wintertime!!!

Enmity

by Joyce Meyer - posted February 12, 2015

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel.

- Genesis 3:15

It may have been that Satan thought he could play on Eve's emotions more easily than Adam's. In any case, Satan was successful in getting Eve to do what she knew she was not supposed to do. He lured her into sin through deception, and he's still doing the same thing today to anyone who will listen to him.

When God dealt with what Adam and Eve had done, He dealt not only with them but with Satan also. Loren Cunningham and David Joel Hamilton make an interesting observation in their book Why Not Women?: "Ever since the Garden of Eden when God told Satan that the Seed of the woman would bruise his head, the devil has been ferociously attacking women all over the world."

Genesis 3 makes it clear that Satan and the woman are at odds with one another. Why? Satan has hated women almost from the beginning, because it was a woman who would ultimately give birth to Jesus Christ, the defeater of Satan and all of his evil works. Just as God said, her offspring bruised his head (his authority).

Lord, I am aware of the enemy's enmity and hatred every day. I know the spiritual warfare that is set against me. I confess the blood of Jesus as my protection this day, and I declare victory in Jesus' name. Amen.
