Time to sow thoughts of righteousness

  • I am not defeated
  • I am not a victim
  • I am more than a conqueror

  • I have a calling

“We cannot think negative and expect to live positive.”

War on what you say

Ephesians 4:29 · Genesis 2:19–20 · Psalm 42:5–8 · Numbers 13:30 · Numbers 14:24 · Joshua 14:11–12

Death and life are in the power of the tongue

of your actions each day are habits.

“If that is the case, 45% of your life is on autopilot.” Part III, citing a Duke University study.

“Little by little in life we make choices and then our choices make us. We are what we repeatedly do!”

  • Worship gains ground
  • Prayer keeps you there
  • The Word conquers where you are

“One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.”

Joshua 23:10 (KJV)
