11-10-07 Deuteronomy 8:10

Deuteronomy 8:10 (NAS)
When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.

Deuteronomy 8:10 (NLT)
When you have eaten your fill, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.


It is Adonai's desire and His heart to bless His people. He wants you to be in a place of abundance and not a place of lack. He wants you to be able to eat whatever you need and not fear its provision. He wants you to be satisfied and fulfilled in all things. You should be able to eat until you are full and have an excess as well. Jehovah wants to enrich your life.

God knows that if He provides this abundance for you, then you will rise up and bless Him. You will kneel before Him and adore Him. You will praise and salute Him always, for the Lord your God has given you only good things. He has put and set you into a pleasant and agreeable land. In Him you have joy and He has bestowed His favor upon you. You are of great value to Him and He desires that you excel in all things. You become better and more prosperous with each passing day, for the Lord has given you good understanding and has made you kind.

11-8-07 Matthew 12:37

Matthew 12:37 (NAS)
For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
Matthew 12:37 (NLT)
The words you say now reflect your fate then; either you will be justified by them or you will be condemned.

What you say has power; your words going out from your mouth can create or destroy. There is life and death in your tongue. What you affirm will be maintained, whether good or evil.
Your words show that you are righteous. What you say gives evidence to the fact that through Jesus, the Lord, you have been justified; you are no longer guilty. No one can find fault with you, for the Lord your God has restored your innocence, by His very own blood.

However, if you do not walk according to the Word of God, your words can reveal something other than righteousness. Instead of showing your right standing with God, they will show the sentence of condemnation that your old man was under. Such unholy speech may cause you to have to pay a penalty and suffer punishment.

Therefore, be careful in what you say. Speak according to and in agreement with Adonai's word. In doing this you will be blessed abundantly and have no fear of death.

11-06-07 Malachi 2:7

Malachi 2:7 (NAS)
For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

Malachi 2:7 (NLT)
The priests’ lips should guard knowledge, and people should go to them for instruction, for the priests are the messengers of the LORD Almighty.



Adonai has called you to minister for Him; He has made you a priest and chief ruler of His people. He has given you lips and language which He uses to snatch away His little ones from the Destroyer. With your words you set borders that the enemy cannot cross. With your words you capture him and bring his destruction to an end.

You have been given the right and privilege to keep and guard the knowledge and wisdom of God. You have perception,skill, discernment and understanding to do so. Jehovah has put you in charge of dispensing His word, which you treasure and observe. You use it to protect and save lives.

The Lord God Almighty has put His law and code in your mouth. You teach and instruct those who seek and desire to know Adonai. As His representative, you help these seekers find their security in the Lord. God's word, that you cast out, points and shows the way to the Lord of armies, the One who fights our battles for us.

11-4-07 Exodus 23:20

Exodus 23:20 (NAS)
Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

Exodus 23:20 (NLT)
See, I am sending my angel before you to lead you safely to the land I have prepared for you.


In your walk with the Lord God, sometimes you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed; it is at those times that you should remember that you are not alone in your journey. Adonai has sent you an angel to guard and keep you. He is there to protect and preserve you. He also helps you stay within the boundaries that God has established.

With your angel's help, you will attain to the place that the Lord has already prepared for you. You will arise and become powerful in your walk. You will be firm and established, stable and enduring. All of this will happen before the face of the Lord and in His presence
