Are we speaking life into situations?Are we speaking where we are going? Is your tongue your ally?
FILL YOUR HEARTH WITH HIS WORD
Luke 6:45 ”A good man out of the good treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth
speaketh”.

guard your heart, for it is the

Philippians 4:13Ephesians 2:8-10 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man
should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should
walk in them".
Romans 12 verse 2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
