real estate a few times a year in your salvation then don’ t act surprised when your children’ s choice is that of the 52 % of the world, and don’ t be surprised when that number turns into a much larger one. We as Christians don’ t understand our influence we have an influence one way or the other. If we act now and stand up and truly represent Christ then we turn that 48 % into a higher number if we set back and just attend church then act and live however then we influence that number to increase. When God showed me the scripture from Hebrews this week I didn’ t know where He was going with it, but I think it is clear that we need to look at how we are as a Christian and apply salvation. See we have downloaded salvation and we say“ look everybody I have salvation” but now it’ s time to install it and see what that can do once it’ s running. May God bless you

Last week I wrote about the power of words. If I may, I would like to elaborate just a bit on the subject as I did not mention the exact reference matter which directly prove that our words are alive once they are spoken. For instance, in Genesis, when God said,“ Let there be light”... there was light. Later we can all recall the story of God telling Abraham that he and his elderly wife Sarah would bear a son and it happened. Much later, in Mark 10:25, Jesus commanded a mute and deaf spirit to remove itself from a young boy and never return. Thus it was so. In fact so many prayers and miraculous words became truth that in, John 21:25, the Bible states that“ Jesus did many other things as well.( And) if every one of them were written down,... even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” But it wasn ' t only God and Jesus that spoke powerful words. The Apostles performed many miraculous acts with words as well. Some of these are documented in the Acts of the Apostles, of course the Gospels and all throughout the Bible. We too have the ability to speak life or death over others. Our words can be blessings, tools, or weapons. It is up to our God given free will as to what we choose to use them for. Today we often refer to things that are unexplainable as coincidences. Perhaps you have overheard someone talking about something and a few days later the same thing happens to you. This sort of thing happens to me all of the time. Which is why I have to be very careful who I surround myself with and what I expose myself to. It ' s really no secret that our words control our destiny and those destined around us. All you have to do is start paying closer attention to the power of words. Personally if I encounter too much negativity it begins to overcome my thoughts and my thoughts turn into words and my words turn into action and so on and so on...... I ' m too sensitive to be vulnerable. I have to keep myself strong through reading the Word of God. I want to encourage everyone today to remain in love and acquire the purest heart that you can. Confess your sins, ask for forgiveness, pray to be a blessing in someone’ s life and give Glory to God. After all in, John 15:7, Jesus even said,“ If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.”
