Hold on to Your Peace

 

 

Hold on to Your Peace

10/20

Psalm 72:7

In the Bible, people are told to hold their peace, because peace is a place of power. God tells us not to be moved when our opponents and adversaries come against us. We are to remain constant, fearless, and at peace. His Word says, "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest"

(Exodus 14:14).

 

No matter what is happening, remain consistent; continue treating people well, continue walking in the fruit of the Spirit. You don't know what kind of fruit you have until somebody comes along and squeezes it. You don't know how much fruit you have until somebody is picking it all day.

Avoid Extremes

 

Avoid Extremes

 

Proverbs 12:12

When I first became a Christian, I heard a message about keeping my mouth shut, so I made a decision that the next day I wouldn’t open my mouth to say anything. I was determined not to get myself in any trouble with my words.

 

The next morning I did not say a word for several hours. That made me mad all over again. Eventually I learned that extremes never make our days go right. Reading God’s Word helps us find balance to face everything that comes our way. The Word says we are to be well-balanced because the devil seeks someone to devour (see 1 Peter 5:8).

 

Love Truth

 

Love Truth

10/10

Ephesians 4:15 NIV

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth.  Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

 

Some people have a difficult time facing truth and reality. They prefer to live in a make-believe world, pretending that certain things aren’t happening. But we cannot deny the existence of problems or act as if they are not real.

 

The devil is real, life is real, people are real, pain is real, and poverty is real. The good news is that no matter how real our pain may be, or how big our problems may seem, we can overcome all of them with the Word of God.

Unseen Promises Exist

10/7

Matthew 21:22

Before the fulfillment of God’s promise to multiply Abram, He changed his name from Abram (“high exalted father”) to Abraham, (“father of a multitude”) (see Genesis 17:1-6). God spoke the promise long before it was visible to anyone.

 

Anything that is in the Word of God is a promise that can be rightfully and legally be spoken even before it visibly exists. Reach into the promises of God with the words of your mouth and prophesy them into existence. Read God’s Word and speak as the Holy Spirit leads you to do so today.

 

Lord Changes Things

10/8

2 Corinthians 4:13

God created with words everything that we see. God said, let there be light,” and there was light. Hebrews 11:13 says that everything that is visible was made from the invisible. God has blessings stored up for you in the spiritual realm that you may not be experiencing, but they do exist.

 

Speak positive words today, and call those things that are not (that are invisible) into your life (see Romans 4:17). If you face a problem today, say, “My problem is temporary. God’s Word says that I am an over comer because of Christ’s love for me. Even though I don’t see the answers now, God will provide for all of my needs.”

 

Esteem Others

10/9

Romans 15:2

There are people who make “ministries” out of criticizing everybody else. But most people who judge others, are the ones who are doing nothing themselves.  They put down other people to try to lift up themselves.

 

The Word of God calls us to build up others, esteeming them more highly than ourselves (see Philippians 2:3). Avoid people who constantly criticize others so their negative comments will not rob your Godly enthusiasm. God can use you today to help strengthen someone’s faith. Ask Him to make you aware of these opportunities today.
