We should not talk corrupt

It is very easy to get caught up in conversation that is not that helpful.  It has been said that the lowest form of communication is when we talk about others, the next highest form of communication is when we talk about things, and the highest form of communication is when we talk about ideals or positive ideas.  We should not allow negativity to dominate our conversation.  We want our conversation to reflect our morals and values.  We want to make sure that we maintain the quality in our conversations. The test is does our communication build up others around us and does it reflect God's grace. (Ephesians 4:29)

Do we strive for Excellence?

As God's children we should strive for excellence in everything that we do.  Our Heavenly Father sends us out on assignment and we represent him in this earth.  When people observe us what do they see?  Do they see responsibilities executed with excellence?  To do our work with excellence requires that we make a quality decision about our work.  We have to make a decision that we are going to do excellent work and that nothing else will do.  Our Heavenly Father will only entrust to us to the ability that we are able to perform well that which he has already given us to do.  (1 Timothy 1:11)

Do we keep the devil under our feet?

There was a minister one time who said a believer came to him and said that the devil was beating them all upside their head.  He told the believer, that shouldn't be.  The devil should be under your feet.  He shouldn't be able to get up to your head.  That is exactly true.  If the devil is having victories in our life then something is wrong.  Jesus Christ defeated the devil (Colossians 2:15) once and for all.  So we don't let him have place in our life and we have victory over him in Christ.  Just take authority over him in the name of Jesus and speak the Word of God to him.  The devil will flee and you will experience your victory in Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 1:22)

We have to come into agreement

Not everything that our Heavenly Father or the Lord Jesus shares with us will be something that we immediately identify with.  For example, the Chief priests and elders of the religious authority questioned Jesus by what authority He spoke in Matthew 21:23.  They weren't questioning His authority because they were in complete agreement with him.  They were questioning His authority because they disagreed with him.  This is also the same for us at times.  We may not on occasion immediately agree with the Word the Lord Jesus has shared with us.  But we have the privilege to pray about it and to then adjust ourselves according to the Word of our Heavenly Father.

We create our life with our words

What we say is very important.  In Proverbs 18:20 it says "A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;  From the produce of his lips he shall be filled."  The 21st verse says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit."  Words are very important.  They are the containers of life or death.  It is up to us to determine what we will speak.  We have a choice set before us.  Our life will follow our word choice.  If we choose words of life and blessing, that is exactly what will follow us and how our life will unfold.

Do we win souls for Christ?

We all have occupations and things that occupy our everyday life, and those things have to be done.  There is typically much emphasis placed on our natural career or accomplishing and getting things done.  But that is not our ultimate calling here upon the earth.  Our purpose here on this earth is to advance the Kingdom of God; to win souls for Christ.  When we occupy ourselves with our ultimate purpose here on earth, it gives our life so much more meaning.  It means that we occupy ourselves with something eternal versus just transitory.  (Daniel 12:3)

God has a path that will run right through it

No matter what kind of obstacle a child of God may be facing or barriers are confronting them or wall that may be standing between them and victory, God has a path that will run right through it.

We set our mind for success, victory and progress.  We cast down every negative thought.  Any thought that is negative, that brings fear, worry, doubt or unbelief.  We keep confessing and declaring God’s favor over our life.  God has a pathway for us that will lead us to the promised land of victory in Christ.  God is working on it right now.  Stay in an attitude of faith, hope and victory. 

(Psalm 77:14-20)
