Pride
Proverbs 11:2 reads "When pride cometh, then cometh shame:but with the lowly is wisdom"
Pride is a terrible thing that many of us struggle with. I am willing to admit that I have struggled with it big time. I have found that in the past I truly dispised being wrong, and would go to extreme lengths to win arguments just to protect my pride.
Then after diving into the word of God and recieving revalation I decided to do it God's way! LET ME TELL YOU...it was one of the most freeing descisions of my life. I realized that in my obediance I had the Lord with me... and "where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty!"
I found that when I chose the route of humility, I was actually set free by my integrity...It is refreshing to know that "it is what it is" instead of "it" being a lie. This was so beneficial to me, I thought I would share it with you all.

Preperation and servitude
"Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask."
"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory."
"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"
"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."
When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10: 35-45
Is that powerful or what?
You know I often quote the portion of scripture that says Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve" but reading this passage in its entirety was really an eye opener. According to the scripture above the greatness that is ahead of us is determined the servitude we display now.
so of course the question is "How many of you are serving?"
we know that the word tells up "the harvest is pleantious but the laborers are few"
but how many of us are really laborers? Because the scripture speaks for itself I want to encourage us all to serve in the kingdom of God. Don't just get your ticket and have a seat.
Many of us may not know what to do but seel God, and PURPOSE TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIM! in your servitude you will be great. When you are presented with men and women of God, serve God by serving them. Paul had Timothy, Moses had Aaron, Elijah had Elisha. Jesus had 13 of em! lol.
Remember as noted in Mark above "whoever wants to become GREAT among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be FIRST must be slave of all. "
Peace and blessings. .5

What did you say?
I know that when the times are tough or things in life or stressful, it is easy to pour out the reality of our issues in everyday speech. We talk about how our lives are stressed, how we are worried, or what it is we can't do. But Today I declare those days to be over!
Proverbs 18:21 says "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
What this means is we have the power to dictate how our end will be with our mouth! It is this simple....if you say " I can't" then you are right! you cannot. However if you will be bold enough to declare things done in the name of Jesus, simply say "I can" then believe me my friends YOU WILL!
Matthew 17:20-20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I SAY unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be impossible unto you.
Romans 4:17
"A it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were."
This is what WE must do in order to see monumental change take place in our lives, call thing which are not as though they are. Think of the great men and women in history. They didnt just stand by and say that they could not achieve, that they would never be. Instead they rose to the occasion and purposed to do great things! You too are great! You can and will accomplish great things because your life is in the power of your toungue! Be blessed.
"Even in Ministry there have been several things that I have sought to accomplish but it was not until I started speaking those things into existence that they truly came to pass!" - Point5

Colossians 4:6 (NKJV)
"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."
To speak with grace is to speak words that are wholesome, fitting, sensitive and purposeful.
Salt flavors and helps preserve our foods from decay. So also our speech should be gracious and salty, in essence adding flavor and be a purifying influence in our walk with Christ.
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephiaians 4:29
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8:13
Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14
in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility. Titus 2:7
