James 1:26 (New International Version)

26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.

As we were doing bible study on thurs, we came across this verse. And i think it struck me quite hard because, it's really a great reminder of what pastor Sam spoke to me when i visited his church the other time. He told me, that God cannot condone bad language, because we cannot use the same lips, to praise God, yet curse man. So he told me to remember to control my tongue. i think in more ways then one, not just swearing, but also through the words i speak. Because words have such great power, to build or destroy. To command in or out.

Victorious Christian living. i'm not here to preach a prosperity gospel, but it is true that many of us do not claim the power of Christ in our lives. we succumb to the devil, when he tells us we're not good enough, we're not a good christian, stealing is ok as long as you don't get caught.
We need more and more to cling onto Jesus when we feel like falling or we're weak. My friend Addison shared with me, even when he feels tired he prays in tongues, to keep his spirit from faltering, and that was such a great reminder and encouragement to me which i still have problems implementing in my life..
So as i was bathing God reminded me, you want My power in your life but you do not claim it. Take OWNERSHIP of this power and use it!:)

just some thoughts i had, doesnt mean i'm not struggling, it probably means i'm struggling more..
