Reversing the Financial Curse
By Dr. Tony Evans.
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 8:11-18
Do you ever feel that, despite all the work you are putting into your life, job, family and other relationships, you aren't experiencing the productivity that you should? You want God's blessings, yet you just don't seem able to get ahead.
God implores every believer to take the tithe challenge! Faithfully giving a tenth of your earnings to the church shows God you are a good steward of what He has entrusted into your care, that you are grateful for everything He has provided and finally that you trust Him.
Too many people are living in a sea of debt. God wants to reverse the financial curse in your life and bless you. But you must plant a seed first before God can rain down His blessings on it.
This is something that I have been asking God to deal with in my life. I am unemployed at the time but I'm believing God for a seed to plant first and then I know he will certainly bless it.

What Type of Tongue Do you have?
There are four types of tongues: Controlled, Caring, Conniving and
Careless, after studying them I remember times in my life where I demonstrated
each one of them one more than the other; but I thank God for his love and
transforming power! Take a look at these and if you really examine your heart
your will see which tongue you are exercising the most…. The first two should be copied, while the last two should be avoided.
1.
The
Controlled Tongue: A woman with a controlled tongue thinks before she speaks.
She knows when silence is best and she gives wise advice.
The more
talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words. Proverbs 10:19 (MSG)
2.
The
Caring Tongue: A woman with a caring tongue speaks truthfully while seeking
to encourage.
Just as
lotions and fragrance give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes
the soul. Proverbs 27:9 (MSG)
3.
The
Conniving Tongue: A woman with a conniving tongue is filled with wrong
motives, gossip, slander and a desire to twist the truth.
Troublemakers
start fights; gossips break up friendships Proverbs 16:28
4.
The
Careless Tongue: A woman with a careless tongue is filled with lies, curses,
quick-tempered words- which can lead to rebellion and destruction.
Fools
have short fuses and explode all too quickly; the prudent quietly shrug
off insults. Proverbs 12:16 (MSG)
You must pray daily for a controlled and caring tongue because our flesh
is not saved. You can only have these through faith and the power of the Holy
Spirit. Do not fool yourself because it’s not easy and many of us struggle with controlling our mouths. We speak before we think, not realizing the repercussions of what we
just said. We are careless with what we say, thinking we can apologize
for it later; but you have to realize that the scars still remain. A few words of anger can
destroy a relationship that took years to build.
What we say or do not say probably effects more people than any other
action we take. Proper speech is not only saying the right words at the right
time, but also controlling your desire to say what you shouldn’t. James says
that no human can control the tongue. Even if you may not achieve perfect
control of your tongue, you can still learn enough control to reduce the damage of what your words can do. Satan uses the tongue to divide people against one another.
Idle and hateful words are damaging because they spread quickly, and no one can
stop the results once they are spoken. So the next time you speak ask yourself,
Is what I want to say is true? Is it necessary? Is it Kind?

Thank God For the Ability To Hear His Voice
This is a praise report! I'm so excited so excuse any typos etc.
Today I had a job interview and it was 50 miles from my house. I left my house 2 hours prior to give myself enough time to get there. I woke up this morning with praise in my spirit so I was praising God for his goodness. I wasn't asking him for anything I was just praising him and asking him for a more deeper relationship with him. A closer relationship with him and he began to minster to me. And I began to declare and remind myself of who I was in Christ. I begin to bind and loose somethings and to call those things that were not as though the were! Well of course the enemy did not like that so tried to interrupt my praise. I had a blow out on the freeway. I was so caught up in my praising that I did not realize that it had happen until the car started to ride funny. I said the devil is a lie! and At that point I started praying in the Holy Spirit for direction. I got over to the shoulder and drove my car 2 miles to the next exit. I pulled over in a rite aide parking lot. I was about 35-40 miles from home.. I did not have a dime to my name and my AAA is expired....I called someone for help but they did not answer the phone. So I begin to say Lord I need direction. I begin to pray in the Spirit again and he begin to speak to me. He told me to look across the street. There was a Chevy dealer. I said okay Lord I see it. He said go over there they are going to give you a tire. I said okay. I went to the dealer and asked for the service manger he would not come out and talk to me. The cashier asked what did I need. I told her exactly what the God had to me to say to her and she said let me get someone to help you. Well the Warranty Manager came out and the Lord to me to tell him my name and that I was on my way to a job interview and my tire popped on the freeway, I didn't have any money and I needed someone to look at my tire. He asked me where was my car and we walked over to the car. When we got to the car he said you need a tire I said yes I was led to come across the street and ask for help. He smiled said okay I'll take care of you we should have a used tire in the back lets go. Well because I listened to God and believed what he said. I got a new tire Praise God! and when I called the company that I had the interview with they waited for me. I was 45 mins late but God showed favor they admire that I was persistent to get there. As I was driving there I was thanking and praising God again and he begin to minister to me. He said you asked me to put people in your path that will lead you to purpose and remove those who won't! The Service manger was not a believer and he would not have understood. Chuck knows and believes in me that's why he smile when you said that you were led. I begin to cry because I realized at that moment that nothing or no one not even the devil in hell can stop block or hinder me as long as I know who I am and Whose I am! I'm so Glad that I have a relationship with God and I hear his voice. Thank you Jesus!!!!

God's Power
"And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will get anything you ask for in prayer! Some people do not realize the power of prayer so how can they understand God's Power. This is a powerful statement and most people reduce it to a new home, a new car and a bigger paycheck. Don't limit the promise of this passage to the selfish pools of perks and favors. The fruit God assures is FAR GREATER that earthly wealth, they are much greater than promotions and proposals. God wants you to soar! Your heavenly Father wants you to fly free of yesterday's guilt, today's fears and tomorrow's grave. These are mountains He has moved. And he is ready to move more mountains on your behalf if you just ask. So go ahead and Stretch your FAITH set it on something big and watch God flex his muscles.
