Better Conversations

Good day, good people! Let's remember to to actively listen and think before you speak. Don't let a temporary moment keep you from wanting to press forward. 

Positive word of the day- communication- the imparting or exchanging of information or news.

Quote of the day- Never let a temporary impulse derail your progress. 

Scripture of the day- Matthew 20:16- “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Don't worry about who got ahead and who may have gotten by while you still busted your behind just know that God will give you all that you are owed. Trust God and believe that your time is coming.

Since Thanksgiving is here and its National Eat a Cranberry Day I thought I would give a few fun facts of the health benefits of cranberries. 

Did ya'll know that cranberries are high in antioxidants. Historically, Native Americans used cranberries as a treatment for bladder and kidney diseases, while Early settlers from England used them to treat poor appetite, stomach complaints, blood disorders, and scurvy.

This week is better conversations week, the great start to having a conversation is to first listen. In order to have a mature and successful convo you must listen first. Secondly, ask questions. You know engage in the conversation. Actually show some interest instead of being on your phone or looking around.

Resist Fear, Embrace Faith

Adapted from the resource Hearing from God Each Morning - by Joyce Meyer

Satan works overtime attempting to fill our lives with fear. Since we hear from God by faith, we must resist fear aggressively. The Bible says that Word reveals a righteousness that leads us from faith to faith (see Romans 1:17). If we learn who we are in Christ Jesus and understand how much He loves us, we can approach everything and anything in an attitude of faith. God has said repeatedly that we do not need to fear because He is with us.

The prayer that is of faith will help us and others in amazing ways; therefore, I encourage you to keep your faith strong. We receive God's will through prayers of faith, but we can also receive Satan's will through fear. Job said that the thing he feared came upon him (see Job 3:25), so be sure to live from faith to faith. Approach everything you do believing that God is good and expecting to receive His best.

Prayer is one of the most important things we must approach with a heart full on faith. This opens the windows of heaven and releases the power of God in our lives and circumstances. Be very watchful that fear doesn't sneak into your prayers and hinder you from receiving what God wants for you. If you are having a serious problem with fear, I recommend that you begin your prayers by saying, "I approach God in faith today and I resist all fear." Now pray boldly, expecting to hear from God and remember that God answers your prayers because He is good, not because you are perfect.

Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You that in and through You, I be strong, resist fear and receive everything You have for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
