Banish the Negatives!

Banish bitterness, rage and anger, shouting and slander, and any and all malicious thoughts—these are poison.
Ephesians 4:31, VOICE
Banish the Negatives
With so many social media platforms today, people can express their negative opinions about you so easily and say things that are derogatory, disrespectful, rude, and fault-finding. The only power that has is the power you give it. If you let what flows from their jealousy, bitterness, or anger get in you, if you dwell on it, that will poison your spirit. Over time it will change who you are. You’ll become defensive and waste your time trying to prove to people that you’re okay, that you’re not what they said. That’s giving them your power. Don’t pay attention to what they’re saying. Quit reading the negative comments. Don’t get drawn into a battle that you’re not supposed to be in. Don’t let their gossip, jealousy, or criticism get in your spirit and steal your joy. Don’t give it the time of day; ignore it and move forward. Keep doing the right thing, and God will deal with the detractors. Stay focused on your goals, your dreams, and fulfilling the destiny God has given you.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are my vindicator and that You will protect my reputation as I keep on honoring You and doing what is right. Help me to banish any negative chatter that is expressed against me and to not read it or listen to it. I believe that You will handle it Your way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
