There is power in the spoken Word.
Best line in a song
I heard recently? “Excuse me a minute while I give the devil a
black eye.” (Lady Tramaine Hawkins, I Never Lost My Praise)
And then, while I was channel
surfing the other night, televangelist Joel Osteen popped up on the
screen, reminding us to speak positive words instead of negative
words into our lives. Stop saying how bad it is, how sick we are,
what's bringing us down and keeping us there. It's never too late to
start saying how good it is and what we have and are according to
God.
So,
I thought it would be a good idea to write down who the Scriptures say I am, what I have and what I can do.
