Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory be to God! It’s Friday! Hope
yall have a great weekend. God willing, may we reconvene next week. As we
continue to work together to spread God’s Gospel, let us also encourage one
another to take steps that lead to a healthy overall mind, body, and soul;
TRANSFORM your body, mind, and soul by feeding your body healthy nutrition, and
being cautious of what things you allow your eyes, ears, and spirits to be
exposed to (e.g. media, books, TV, music, etc.). Have you fed your spirit
today? CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN, so START YOUR TRANSFORMATION TODAY, because
tomorrow is NOT promised. 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."

For Material Needs:
"I have given and it is given unto me good
measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, men given unto my bosom,”
derived from Luke 6:38. (Capps, 1976, p. 154). Reference: Capps, C.
(1976). The Tongue - A Creative
Force. Tulsa, Oklahoma: Harrison House.
Luke 6:38 says,
“Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down,
shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap.
The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” This passage goes
back to the concept that we should “do unto others, as you will have them do
unto you.” The jest of the book, The Tongue – A Creative Force, is to
help people think before they speak, and to adopt positive vocabulary rather
than speaking negativity, strife, chaos, and failure into existence. The same
runs true about an individual’s personality, work ethic, and commitment – what
you put out there is what you will get in return; the seed you plant will
render like fruit. For example, if all you do is focus on the negative aspects
of your job, your relationships, or material wealth and in-turn speak negativity
into existence, then, you will become/experience the very words you’ve allowed
to depart your mouth. We have that same power over others as well. Can you
remember an aunt or uncle saying something along the lines of, “he’s never
going to get it together,” or “she ain’t s*#!?” Well, unless that individual
believed otherwise, he or she probably allowed those words to shape who they
became later on; look at the statistics and famous cases of troubled adults,
they had some form of discouragement that set the foundation for a life of
negativity and failures. You ever wonder why some people encourage you to
remove “can’t” from your vocabulary? It is because can’t means can not, thus,
to speak those words aloud hinders your determination, desire, and ability to
do. People who are successful maintain a positive mindset that revolves around
the will to achieve – successful people believe they CAN. I recall watching an
interview years ago of the singer Brandy. She recalled being told by her peers
and teachers that she wasn’t pretty enough to be on TV. To many people whose
goal is to become an actor, gain fame, or to enter the entertainment life, that
may have proved discouraging. However, Brandy believed she could do it; she
said she would do it and then she did do it. This is the type of mentality,
attitude, and approach to life that we as Christians should develop and
maintain. People will treat and respect you in the same manner that you
present yourself. You will only be as happy, satisfied, and successful, as
you believe that you can be, and strive to become. Do NOT stand in your own way.
Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for life, health,
strength, and for strengthening the faith in our ability to use our words to
produce favorable outcomes. We thank you for redemption, restoration,
deliverance, salvation, and the ability to reverse the negativity we once spoke
into existence. Today we deny the right of the enemy to exist in our lives. We
thank you for safe travels. We thank you for removing the heavy load that we
once tried to carry alone. We thank you for the discernment to know when the
enemy is afoot, and for the strength to take control through our faith-filled
words. We praise you for our ability to use your Word as the stabilizing force
in our lives, to claim and accept the authority to rebuke the rulers of the
darkness of this world; through the words of our mouths, we take back
everything the devil has stolen from us. We declare now that no weapon formed
against us will ever prosper. Right now we petition defeat over our
adversaries, binding every evil and malicious plot, plan, and scheme devised
against us. We also thank you for the prosperity and success of Tylesha’s
non-profit organization, Fostering Mind, Body, and Soul Incorporated (FMBS
Inc.). This is our affirmation of faith Father God; we submit our claim to you
in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Respectfully,
Tylesha "Tye" Allen

put confidence in man." (Psalm 118:8)
