Speak Words That Edify
“If I think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, that are of virtue and praiseworthy, then I will speak the same…” Philippians 4:8.
“And if I abide in His love, I will display the fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, then I will be a blessing to others….” Galatians 5:22-23.
I will speak on things that are life-giving and not idle words just to be speaking.
I will speak that which is beneficial to the listener even to myself.
Speak on things that are edifying, encouraging, thankfulness, creative, natural (enjoying nature), and that stimulate growth and to learn new things.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue. I choose Life!
Jesus is the Life-giver. Speak His words of Truth.
He says not to fear, worry, or to be anxious, but to rest in Him. Speak words that minister His peace.
Meditate on Psalm 23 and even visualize yourself with Him in it.
See yourself in Psalm 91 abiding in close communion with Him hiding underneath His wing in Protection.
He is my Hiding Place and He teaches me to speak Grace to others.

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website, shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at The Father’s feet. I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow. Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before The Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.

Amen.
