Prov. 4:24 - Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips
Prov. 6:2 - if you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
Prov. 12:13 - An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes trouble.
Prov. 13:2 - From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful have a craving for violence.
Prov.16:23 - A wise man's heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.
Prov.16:24 - Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Prov. 21:23 - He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.
James 3:5 - Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark
1 Pet. 3:10 - For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech
Ps.141:3 - Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.
We have to watch what we say. We create our world with the words and thoughts we use to frame it. If we keep saying we will fail, we are going to fail. We set ourselves up for it, we frame our world around it. If you constantly insist you are going to get fired, you are already planning the event.
We have to confess what the Lord says. Our world must be framed in his light, on his word. If we build on any other foundation its in vain.
But think about what the Lord says. He says, "You can do all things through Christ Jesus, "he has a plan for you, "He will never leave you or forsake you, "that if you commit your way unto Him, He will establish your path."
Now don't these words sound better than; I can't, I don't know, Maybe, I'm not sure.
If you want confusion in your life by all means confess it into your situation, but if you want peace, faith, and joy frame your life on the Lord's confession and make his your own.

this is soooo true and the Lord revealed this truth to me once when i was reading in Numbers 14.
The Israelites had been grumbling A LOT by now and God finally said, "I will do to you the very things I heard you say: In this desert your bodies will fall..."
We either speak life or death and we have the choice. We can bring thankfulness, joy, peace, love, and encouragement OR we can bring death (in various forms). Blessing or Curse...
This truth was so shocking to me and I've had to let the Holy Spirit renew my mind b/c my way of thinking was so muddled with lies and poor patterns of thinking. We need to have a Kingdom filter and let Jesus retrain our thoughts!
Thanks for sharing...
