There's A Miracle In Your Mouth!

*"I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."* *~ Mark 11:23

 *Years ago, Pastor John Osteen, Founder of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, said, "There is a miracle in your mouth!" Pastor John was saying that the way we speak determines what happens to us. I you always find the negative, and that's what you speak, that's what you will receive. You cannot have a positive outcome, while you speak a negative confession.*

*Miracles still happen for those with the courage to look, and the faith to believe! Whatever happened to miracles? Some say that the scientific era crucified miracles. I disagree! The real perpetrator in this attempted murder . . . is speech! We have lost the ability to recognize and describe the miraculous by the way we talk. We have what we say! As believers, we know this is a vital biblical truth. "A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul." Proverbs 18:7. The problem with many of God's people is they talk like the world around them, instead of talking what the Word of God says. Then, they are surprised when they find themselves in a big mess.*

*I meet folks, who have messed up with one failure after another, who only talk about -- "what a failure I am." Too many people are on the sidelines of God's greatness lacking enthusiasm about their future, simply because they made mistakes and experienced failure along the way. Let me help us.... God is not looking for perfect people! If that were the case, we would all be disqualified. God is looking for a man/woman, who has a heart for Him. God wants a people who recognize they are helpless, unless Almighty God is involved in their lives.*

*If you have a heart that is seeking God and you wake up each day striving to do your best, don't live feeling guilty and condemned! When those old thoughts come to mind saying, "You don't deserve anything from God," just respond with, "You're right! I don't deserve it, but that's what God's mercy is all about." The goodness of God will make miracles out of all your mistakes! Begin to speak God's blessings over your life, and watch it turn around!*
