Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory to God! Before we get started, I'd like to solicit your prayers for my co-worker Maggie who lost her grandfather yesterday; please keep the family's comfort and strength in prayer, thanks in advance. So, today is my first day using my iPad2 on the train. So far, I am wide awake, and I can see this being very beneficial in promoting an improved sleep pattern. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the desired results and refrain from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray the answer (your desired result), NOT the problem (your unfavorable circumstance). Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity, God Bless!
Passage James 3:5-8 (NLT):
"In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison."
Genesis 1:26-28 says, "Then God said, 'Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.' So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.'" "For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). Man was created in God's class: capable of operating in the same kind of faith. Man is a spirit with a soul, that lives in a body. Genesis 2:7 says, "Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person." **Intermission: I'm totally dozing off. I guess my body is accustomed to napping on the train. I'm trying my best to stay awake and knock out this SOD before I get to my car. Sigh** Every breath you take, REMEMBER that it is GOD who provides. In the very manner to which God created the Heaven and Earth - through faith-filled words, He created man and made us capable of operating on the same level of faith as Him. Mark 9:23 says, "'What do you mean, ‘If I can’?Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes.'" and Matthew 17:20 says, "'You don’t have enough faith,' Jesus told them. 'I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.'" These verses represent Spiritual Law; if APPLIED correctly, it works EVERY time. God has never done anything without saying it first; God releases His faith in Words to create life, and to manifest blessings and miracles. Have faith in God and His promise (refer to Mark 11:22). As children imitate their parents, we too should imitate our Father in Heaven "Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children." (Ephesians 5:1) To imitate God, You must TALK like Him, and You must ACT like Him. "Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ..." (Ephesians 5:2) **WHEW! I made it** (Capps, Charles. The Tongue - A Creative Force. Tulsa, Oklahoma: Harrison House, 1976.)

Prayer of the Day:
Father God we praise you for your grace and mercy, your love and continued protection. Lord we thank you for providing Maggie and grieving family and friends with comfort and strength in their time of bereavement. Lord God we thank you for the capabilities and authority in our words to speak life and favorable outcomes into every situation. We thank you for your spiritual guidance that leads us down a path of righteousness; thanking you that everything that we think, do, and say, may mimic your Son Christ Jesus, and be honorable, and acceptable to you. This is our affirmation of Faith, we present this claim to you, and thank you now for the victory, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
