All honor and praise be to God! Man, today's events kinda sucked. I am grateful for all of my blessings, but let me just say that credit is both a blessing and a curse. I have been putting off servicing my car for a while now, but it started driving funny. I had initially planned to put it off for yet another week, but ended up having to go to the auto shop today. I still had some funds left over from my tax return, so, with those funds I spent $736 and some change on getting the initial servicing out of the way, which took 5 and a half hours. However, upon handing me my keys, the shop owner told me that my run-flat tires were worn to the wire, and explained that it was necessary to have them replaced ASAP! So then, I trucked on over to a near-by tire shop for another 4 hours, and here's where the credit card charges came in... I charged a whopping $2,400+ on new tires and a wheel alignment, oh and rear brake pads. I'm so NOT a happy camper right now, but, I must acknowledge that credit debt or not, I am blessed beyond measure, so I'll praise God anyhow. Anyway, I'd like to remind yall to feel open to communicating with me your prayers requests, as well as testimonies to share in future fellowship. Also, if there are any suggestions you have for me to make your SOD experience more fulfilling, feel free to express those concerns as well. Thanks in advance. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcome. 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."
Yesterday we were reminded that peace and righteousness come to us as we obey God's will; doing things according to our own selfish intent, opens the doors to punishment and threatens our harmony and virtue. We were encouraged to STOP being afraid or reluctant to allow God to lead our pathways; God knows what is best, so regardless to our uncertainty in His timing or His design, we should trust in His ability. Today we are going to take a look at one of the passages that influenced one of the major affirmations of faith from our daily confessions. If you are new to this, and do not have the book, The Tongue - A creative Force by Chales Capps, and would like a copy of a list of these daily confessions, please send me your request so that I may forward you a copy. In Matthew 18:18-20 (NIV) Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." This resorts back to our lesson on the power of the tongue; be it a negative or a positive confession, those things that we speak into existence, backed by our fear or our faith, will come to pass and hold true in Heaven and on Earth. Meaning, our consequence will be either good (favorable) or bad (undesired), based on our choice words; when we speak our desired results (in faith), God's ability is released through our words. However, when we speak the problem (in fear), we release the power of the enemy to manifest defeat, which binds God's ability. This passage reminds us however, that when "two or more" believers go to God in prayer, then their requests will be granted, because they are using their faith-filled words to pray according to GOD's WILL.
Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for life, health, and strength. We thank you for the power and authority in our words to overcome our adversaries. Lord we thank you for filling us with your presence, that our words may be influenced by your Spirit and we will only speak things which are good to edifying that they may minister to the hearer, and always render favor in your sight Father. Lord we thank you for your continued protection and your everlasting grace and mercy. We thank you in advance for Tylesha's efficiency, healthy sleep pattern, and consistent production of the daily scripture. We thank you for guiding our words that we will only speak prosperity into existence and always refrain from confessing defeat. We thank you for clarity where there is confusion, deliverance from any burdens, comfort where there is sorrow, relief from all forms of pain, and strength where there is weakness. This is our affirmation of faith, in the name of Jesus, Amen!
