WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Gracious words...


Hi...
Read a quote yesterday at a friend's home,

“Harsh words do not break bones but break hearts."
Words do have the power to break or mend, wound or heal.
Abba Father may our words bring healing to the wounded, hope to the hopeless, bind the broken, help to lead the lost and wandering souls to you. Let our words be seasoned with salt. Forgive us for reckless words, In Jesus Name Amen
 
God's Word says in...
Proverbs 12:18 says "Reckless words pierce like a sword..!"
Ecclesiastes 10:12 "Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,....."
Colossians 4:6 "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
Proverbs 16:24 "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer."
Abba Father.... forgive us for speaking carelessly
about others to make ourselves look better.
Help us to think before we speak.
Teach us to be loving and gracious with our words.
Give us Your "Unconditional Love" in our hearts...
Abba Father...
Help us not to form our opinion of people from what we hear from others, for it may not always be correct because they just may be repeating what they heard others say or it may just be their opinion. 
Help us to look at others the way You see them.
Help our conversation to be full of grace, seasoned with salt.
Abba Your wounded sheep needs Your Oil to be healed not our judgmental tongue which acts as a sword to slay Your Children! Help us to see What You want us to see not what the enemy is making us to see! Abba show us the wounds of Your wounded  sheep needs healing with Your Words of love not our words with the fire of the enemy! 
Abba..help us to STOP Judging START LOVING. Lord Help us tsee the Wounded Heart of Your Children before judging them! Your wounded sheep need YOUR LOVE to be healed and not our judging ways! Thank You Father....
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
Have a blessed day..

Let us watch our words...



The Bible says in Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips."
Foolish, loose talking, cracking coarse jokes seems to be OK in today's world.But God's Word warns us in Ephesians 5:4 "Nor should there be obscenity,foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving." How can we praise and worship God and with the same mouth crack coarse jokes? Even listening and being entertained by such jokes sure offends the Holy Spirit. It's time to draw a line. It's time to take a check of what comes out of our mouth.
Matthew 15:11 “What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'" So it's time to watch what comes out of our mouth. Are our words pleasing to God? Let's be careful not to speak carelessly. 
Because we read in Matthew 12:36 "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned."
Words reveal what's in the heart because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Today, may our prayer be in line with what the Psalmist said in Psalm 19:14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. 
May our Lord set a guard over our mouths and keep our lips from foolish talks, coarse joking,criticism, condemnation, gossip, slander, evil speaking, complaining, lying,murmuring etc. May our words be always gracious, seasoned with salt. May ourwords bring healing to the wounded, hope to the hopeless and bind the broken,help to lead the lost and wandering souls to the Lord.
 God's Word says in Proverbs 12:18 that "Reckless words pierce like asword!" but "Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious," Ecclesiastes 10:12. 
Let's start confessing and proclaiming God's Word and possessing what's rightfully ours. There’s power in confessing scriptures! Let's speak the Word over every situation we face. When we speak and confess God's Word, mountains are moved and doors open and crooked paths are made straight. What do you desire to see happen. Loved ones saved? Marriage restored? Prodigals return?Children to be on fire for the Lord? Healing of a loved one? Breakthrough in business and finances? Promotion in job? Loved ones saved?
In Jesus Name it's already done and finished! Just need to find a scripture from God's word, hold on to it firmly and confess it and stand on it, believe and receive it.
Let's watch our words.
Have a blessed day...

Right Words


Proverbs 16:24
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Hi.....
Just came across this poem (see below) and realized how important it is to speak the right, encouraging words especially when someone's really hurting.
Words of Hope can be so..uplifting to someone in the verge of quitting.
How often we pass by people who hurt & we don't seem to care.
I pray the Lord will use each of us to pray for the struggling, sick, weak and encourage a hurting heart.
I pray He'll give us the right words to say.
I pray God will help us stop by & stretch out a hand to lift someones who's feeling tired & weak spiritually, pray for someone backslidden.
It's when one's down the valley and hurting one wishes to see their fellow brothers, sisters & friends & loved ones around.
And it's in times like these God makes His Presence felt in a powerful way too!
HE understands for He too was rejected by whom He thought were HIS own, He went through physical pain and so knows when we go through that.
Let's ask God to put the right words in our mouths to lift up a hurting heart. For a wrong word said can discourage and pain the already hurting. That's why God's word says,
Proverbs 12:18 "Reckless words pierce like a sword..!"
Have a blessed day

THE RIGHT WORDS
~Author Unknown~
Lord, give me the right words to say
To broken hearts that come my way
To those who have been hurt before
That, I not hurt them any more
To those whose hearts have hardened up
To those who won't hold out their cup
That, Lord, You long to overflow
With love and mercy. Lord, let me know

That I might have the words to say
That I might plant a seed today
That glory would be given to You
Through all I say and all I do

Lord, give me the right words to say
More hearts are breaking every day
They're out there crying in the night
I long to help them see the light
But, fragile are those souls and weak
So this is why Your words I seek
And pray Thee give me words to say
That I, not one soul, turn away.

The Right Words...


Hi.....
Just came across this poem  and realized how important it is to speak the right, encouraging words especially when someone's really hurting.
Psalm 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer."
How often we pass by people who hurt and don't just seem to care.
I pray the Lord use each of us to pray for and encourage a hurting heart.
I pray He'll give us the right words to say.
May our mouth speak words of wisdom.
Psalm 49:3 "My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding."I pray God will help us stop by and stretch out a hand to lift someone who is feeling tired and weak spiritually and speak words of encouragement.
It's when one's down the valley and hurting one wishes to see his/her fellow brothers, sisters, friends and loved ones around and listen to loving, encouraging words.
Ecclesiastes 10:12 "Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious,....."
Let us ask God to put the right words in our mouths to lift up a hurting heart.
Jeremiah 1:9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.
And finally...
Ephesians 6:19 "Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel."

People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did .
But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.
 Proverbs 25:11
A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
THE RIGHT WORDS

Lord, give me the right words to say
To broken hearts that come my way
To those who have been hurt before
That, I not hurt them any more
  
To those whose hearts have hardened up
To those who won't hold out their cup
That, Lord, You long to overflow
With love and mercy. Lord, let me know

That I might have the words to say
That I might plant a seed today
That glory would be given to You
Through all I say and all I do

Lord, give me the right words to say
More hearts are breaking every day
They're out there crying in the night
I long to help them see the light
 
But, fragile are those souls and weak
So this is why Your words I seek
And pray Thee give me words to say
That I, not one soul, turn away.
