My Never Again List You are snared by the words of your mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth.  Death and life are in the power of the tongue, Men have died for saying the wrong thing! (Prov 6:2 NKJ  --  Prov 18:21 in NAS and TLB) You can have what you say! We are possessing today what we have been confessing in days gone by. "As you sow,so also shall you reap." We have ignored the words of Jesus, "...he shall have whatsoever he saith." He wasn't kidding-- we can have what we say. We curse ourselves and our family and friends on a daily basis because we don't control our tongues. James tells us that what we say directs our whole life, just like the rudder of a ship, even though it is small it guides the whole ship. King Solomon wrote, "Life and death are in the power of our words." Joshua wrote that if we would meditate and speak GOD'S WORD day and night we would PROSPER and have GOOD SUCCESS!! Start right now - Put a guard over your mouth! Make a commitment today to be a source of blessing with your words! If you do, your life will never be the same again!

To be successful we must learn His ways and His thoughts and act in accordance with them. Romans 4:17 says that God "calleth those things that be not, as though they were." That is God's way! We need to learn God's way in the area of thinking and confessing. We too can "call things that be not as though they were." Paul tells us in Eph. 5:1 ..."be imitators of God, as beloved children". Children imitate their parents' way of doing things. God is our father - let's learn his ways!! As we do. we will prosper in everything we do!!! (Psalms 1:3)
