Speak life. That's saying alot. In other words, it's important what you say. It's important to speak words of life to your circumstances. Proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue. In your mouth, is life or death. It really depends on you and what you choose to do.
No one has greater power over your own life that YOU. Sometimes people are always speaking things relative to your life. You have to judge what is being said. If those words are not to your liking, don't receive them. Say out of your mouth, "I don't receive those words". You don't necessarily have to say the words to the person or people. But you need to say them out loud to "shoot down the negativity".
The best way to speak life is to speak the Word of God. The words that are in the Bible are full of life and power. You can't go wrong with speaking the Word. You help your own cause, as it were, when you speak the Word. So, do yourself a big favor and speak life!

It Is Well
It is well. Yes, it is well. How do I know this? Because God's Word is truth. The Lord is on my side. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. His Word never fails. His Word shall never pass away. God is for me, so it doesn't matter who's against me.
It is well. In spite of what I see or what I may be experiencing currently, it is well. When you have the Word of God on a particular situation, it is well. It's not going to be well. It is well.
The key is that you have to know what the Word of God says about you and your situation. Then just park right there on the Word. Don't move off of what God has said. So if He says you win, then you win. If God says you're more than a conqueror, then that's what you are.
God called Gideon a mighty man of valor when he was a scaredy cat. Thank God He can see what we can't see. He sees us as winners when we don't really "feel" like we're winning. Just know that it is well. Hold fast to it. Hold fast to your expectation of things changing and getting better. Why? Because it IS well!!!

Get Back in the Game!!!
It's time to get back in the game!!! Get off the sidelines and get back in the action of life. Don't let life pass you by. Regardless of the disappointment or setback you've experienced, it's time to get back up and get going again.
The Bible says a just man falls seven times but he rises up again. He keeps getting up! He refuses to stay down. Defeat and failure are not options. It takes a resolve that you're more than a conqueror through Him who loves you (Rom. 8:37).
In fact, it takes the Word of God to strengthen you. It's the "playbook" we must master, as it were, to perform in life as we should. It shouldn't be collecting dust. Open the Word of God daily, see what His instructions are and get going. Get back in the game!!! The victory is already ours thru Jesus Christ our Lord.

It Shall Be Known
It shall be known that the Lord is God. Galatians 6:7-9 speaks of God not being mocked. He will not be made a mockery of, neither we as His people. Joel 2:26,27 says that those that trust in the Lord shall never be put to shame.
In other words, it shall be know that He is God and that we belong to Him. Nevermind that the "devil" is laughing at the moment. It shall be known that He is God and that we belong to Him. He says in the Word to touch not His anointed, do His prophet no harm.
In other words, it shall be known that we belong to Him. We're His children, He's our Father. No good father will just sit there while harm is being brought against his child. No different for our Heavenly Father. It shall be known, just stay with the Word of God. It shall be the enemy who'll be put to shame.
He's prepared a feast in the presence of your enemy. Don't believe me? Check out Psalm 23. So, sit down at the table and eat up! Why? Because it shall be known that the Lord is God and we are His people.

Relationships
When it's all said and done, only one relationship goes into eternity. It's relationship with God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank God for the relationships we have in the natural, as it were. But glory to God, relationship with God enhances the relationships we have here on earth. Or, at least it should.
Sometimes, people are so devastated when they are not included in some groups and clicks. You ought to be saying, "Thank you, Jesus!!!" It may be the will of God you're not included.
In this life, you can count your REAL friends on one hand. The sooner people understand this, the sooner their stress level will go down. Relationship with God will cause Him to direct you to the right friend or friends for you.
See how this is tied together? In your fellowship with the Lord, He will order your steps. He knows and understands every detail of your life. But are you willing to do what it takes to maintain relationship with Him? What relationships and friendships have you exalted above Him? Your spouse shouldn't have priority over the Lord, if you understand what I'm saying. Don't go off the deep end.
Relationships have priorities. As you walk with the Lord, He will show you the proper order of things. Just maintain the most relationship of all: To know God our Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Walking With God
That's what life really boils down to: Walking With God. No matter who comes or goes in your life, make sure you're walking with God. Do you want direction in life? Walk with God. You want peace of mind? Walk with God. Is your life in need of stability? Walk with God. Need a friend who will never leave you nor forsake you? Walk with God.
The old song says "I need thee every hour". We need God every second of every minute of every hour. There's never a time we don't need God. We shouldn't have to petition Him for something all of the time. But we should love on Him and worship Him all of the time.
We live in a time that we have to be for real in our walk with God. This has always been but even more than every before. The time for games and playing church is over! Step up or step out of the way. Prayerfully, you're stepping up and stepping on to victory!!! Walk with God!!!

So, read about the Holy Spirit in the Bible and understand that you have alot of help at your disposal. Don't feel helpless. Use your Helper, the Holy Spirit.
