All honor, and glory to God! Hope yall had a great weekend, I slept mine away as usual. Last week I was so darn tired. I just couldn't find enough time in the day to do everything I needed to do, I feel so far behind, but I am really praying to find the much needed structure that will allow me to fit all my tasks within the day, especially sleep. I'm sure not getting any younger, so my body is not feeling this sleep deprivation, which is evident through my past inconsistencies with these so-called "daily" scriptures. Anyway, remember to REFRAIN from praying (confessing) the problem (unfavorable outcomes), but ALWAYS speak (pray/confess) the answer (your desired result) into existence. Do NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity, God Bless!
These three concepts were amongst the key factors in Jesus' ability to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. These are the same concepts that we have been repeatedly discussing in our power of the tongue series. As we near the end of this series, we must not forget the above concepts; engrain those things in your mind so that they become one with you. These three factors along with the two we'll cover in tomorrow's lesson, are KEY to our ability to "speak those things that be not as though they were," and to reverse all the negativity we previously spoke into existence, claiming and speaking life ONLY to our desired and favorable outcomes. It is through the very own words of Your mouth, that You establish failure or success in your life; learn to use Your words wisely. Repetition is the key to memorizing, and practice is pivotal to getting it right. (Capps, Charles. The Tongue - A Creative Force. Tulsa, Oklahoma: Harrison House, 1976.)
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."
"I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say" (John 12:47-50). "When you study the life of Jesus you find several important facts that caused Him to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil" (Capps, 1976). In this lesson, we will cover the first three factors surrounding Jesus' ability to overcome:
1) Jesus prayed without ceasing, but NEVER prayed the problem, He prayed the answer.
2) Jesus spoke God's truth with accuracy, NEVER in His own understanding.
3) Jesus ALWAYS spoke His desired results into existence, NEVER confessing the undesired circumstance or current problem.

Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for all that you have blessed us with thus far, as well as future blessings already set in motion. Lord we praise you now for providing Tylesha with the necessary structure and dedication required to adhere to a consistent schedule that allows her to fit-in all of her daily tasks, especially adequate sleep. We thank you for strengthening our ability to effectively use our words to produce favorable outcomes. We thank you for redemption, and dexterity to reverse all the negativity we once spoke into existence. We deny the right of the enemy to exist in our lives, and thank you for removing the heavy load that we once tried to carry alone. We thank you for deliverance from pain, suffering, debts, struggles, and worries. Father God we thank you for the strength to stand firm through the test of our trials. We thank you for the discernment to know when the enemy is afoot, and for the nerve to take back control through the power of the tongue. We confess that no weapon formed against us will ever prosper, and we claim now, defeat over our adversaries. We thank you for your continued blessings of protection, and for the peace that passeth all understanding. This is our affirmation of faith Father God, we submit our claim to you in the name of Jesus, Amen!
