SHIFT Happens: #Watchyamouth

"I can deal with annnnnyyyything else, but THIS?! This I CANNOT DO!" 

oh you've heard yourself say it or think it before! I've fussed at God pleeennttyy of times regarding some situations that are just "TEW much!" for my life. 

I can hear myself complaining about what's wrong with the person and about how I'm just "over it." I was tired of putting up with (insert anything)! ---It didn't even occur to me that every verbal jab I threw about my issue, the weaker my ability to stand firm in the trial became. As I whined about my situation, My strength to hold my course diminished.

Thats like being in the gym saying "I can't do it!" Or in a birthing suite saying "this is is too hard!"  When we are negligent with our words, we essentially introduce more tension, fear, and frustration right in the midst of our despair.  What we say can either add more fuel to the fire or cause it to fizzle out.

That moment we realize that the keys to overcoming are SIMPLY within our believing and WHAT COMES OUT OF OUR MOUTHS!!>>>>>>>  *insert giddy squeal*

(you KNOW I have to give props to my incredible man and woman of God, Pastors Patrick and Angela Ligon of Great Faith Church <gfc3.com> that 4/20 message YES!) 

THIS revelation is priceless...if my life is made up of the things (good and bad) I've spoken over myself--I can change my world. I can speak it what I WANT to see vs. what I actually see.  I can believe for the amazing life that God promises. The life where all my needs are met in abundance and I'm able to allow myself to be the vessel he uses.  I can righteously be excited about it! Because I know for sure, he's not a liar. God's not a respector of persons but he IS a respector of Faith. 

If im saturated with the right information, my thoughts and lips will "tend to plenteousness".
