The scriptures confirm to us that our words have power, what we say has an impact upon our lives and that of others, psychology speaks of it in positive thinking and affirmations. There is a capacity that God has instilled within us to generate determination, man is a reflection of God's creative nature... when confronted with adversity, negativity, challenges if we unite in spirit, mind, and body with the presence of God, you become a part of Him and He of you... what can not be achieved according to His Will! Jesus said that He must be raised up as Moses had raised up the serpent in the desert, Moses raised his staff and each time won the battle, that was the same staff that God turned into the serpent that devoured Pharoahs snakes. When Moses couldn't keep the staff raised, the Israelites would begin to lose the battle, but then Aaron and Miriam joined in to help keep that staff raised up... Our individual and collective praises, prayers and other offerings to the God of the Universe Our Lord Jesus the Son of the Most High have power, because His Love is Power... like no other. When words of love are spoken, when we encourage others, we create the atmosphere for change, God's Love flows thru us... I say this because of what I see among DS friends, supporting others, singing, praising, encouraging one another... for those who struggle God's Love is on the way, the end of this story is written, and for those who God calls His Children... It has been Won! The Lord's Peace and Love!
