"Give the devil an inch..."

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;--II Corinthians 10:5

We have to be careful about the things we say, about others, and more importantly about ourselves and our lives. When we open our mouths, are we glorifying the Lord or the devil? What we read, watch, and listen to are what goes into our hearts, influencing our thoughts, which come out as a reflection of not only who we are, but also who we believe to be true.

We can speak in faith no matter the circumstance or situation we are facing ie: "I walk by faith, not by sight", "I am never alone, because God promised to never leave nor forsake me", "In faith, I can call those things which are not, as though they are", " I am more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ".

If our language goes against what the word of God says about us, we are not living in faith and are not glorifying Him. Until we learn to do so, we will keep walking around in circles, going through the same things over and over again, year after year.

Yes, we can learn to walk in faith, using God's word to change our lives, no matter what our backgrounds look like. Yes, we can walk in faith, using God's word so that we are not fazed, shaken, nor moved by the things that happen around us.

Let's get into a bible believing, bible teaching, church where the name of Jesus is magnified, so that we too can learn to walk right, talk right, and in faith, live abundantly -- right here, right now, on this earth, even in this time of famine.

God bless,
Pamyla
