Let there be light in our words!!

There's power in our words. And what great and tremendous power there will be made available if we tap into God's wisdom and understanding.

God was just showing me yesterday during my morning prayer about the tremendous power that He wants me to tap into through my speech.

For "by wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundation, by understanding he sets the heavens in place;
by His knowledge, the deeps were divided and the clouds let down dew." (Proverbs 3:19-20)

Wisdom that has been with God since the beginning of it all. The wisdom that's of above, divine and powerful, the wisdom that originates from God, the very essence of God is wisdom.

"For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light,
and the corrections of discipline are the way of life..." (Proverbs 6:23)

So tap into God's wisdom:
"Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?" (Proverbs 8:1)

"Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget My words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom and she will protect you; love her and she will watch over you." (Proverbs 4:5-6)

When we strive to get wisdom and understanding and as we choose to speak forth words of wisdom, than there's tremendous power available, power to bring forth light in situations, power to set the captives and bounded free, power to heal and even to save, empowered to do the very works of Jesus.

"The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." (Luke 4:18)

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat it's fruit." (Proverbs 18:21)

May my words be one that's saturated with wisdom, as I pay attention to Your Word and commands.
Just as King Solomon chose wisdom over other wealth, and You said that it was a good thing that he asked for. I too want more of your wisdom and understanding.
I want to be able to see, hear and say things with Your perspective.
Oh God, use me as Your vessel. And as I speak, let me be Your mouthpiece, to speak forth your truth and love, a vessel that releases your light and grace.

In awe

It is only today that I have such a great realization of the importance of having the blessings of my pastor. I didn't know that just by having her acknowledgement and support for the pending decision that I am to make ahead would give me such a great sense of assurance, peace and joy.
Tears filled my eyes when she was praying for me this morning, I was touched, and more, I felt confident... because I know that my pastor, the overseer that God has placed over me is supporting me.
I know that I have the green light from her, and more importantly, I know that I have done my part to be accountable to her.
After being a believer for 10+ years, this is the first time I come so close to encountering the joy of submitting and the great peace and strength that one can receive when you know that your pastor affirms you and is watching over you.
God is soooo good. I can only stand in awe of all that you're doing in my life.

Show me your face O God
Make my heart pure as gold
Standing in awe of You
Your love, it surrounds me forever
Show me your face O God
I want to know You more
I want to stand, right here with You
All of my days
