Word of God for Today - Faith and Works & Watch Your Mouth!

-Faith and Works-


In God's word in James 2:17 "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone". When you have Faith without Works or Works without Faith then you are rowing a boat with one oar and you will only end up in circles. When rowing a boat you need both oars working together in order to get anywhere. The same is true with the Christian life, Faith on its own is dead it needs work in order to put it into motion. James 2:26 says - "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also". So having Faith without action is the same as having a body without a spirit. So put action behind your Faith and make it produce. When we put action to our Faith we will then start to see results. Any parrot can talk Faith but true Faith is always backed up by actions.


-Watch Your Mouth!-


In God's word in Gal 6:7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows that he also will reap". The problem with most Christians today is they want to reap what they have not sown. God gives us the responsibility to plant, how much to plant and the tilling of the soil. For many of us we want to reap health when we have sown sickness, we want to reap prosperity when we have sown poverty.

Our mouth is our main key to determine what we harvest in this life, what we fail to understand is that EVERYTIME we speak evil, gossip or curse another person; that is the seed that we are sowing in our field and we will reap what we have sown. Now you know why Jesus said do not curse, do not do evil against one another, forgive etc, because if you don't, all that negative seed will grow and produce fruit after its own kind in your field not the other person.

Prov 6:2 makes it very clear that we are snared and taken by our own words, so remember your words will put you over or under. They will heal you or make you sick. They will defeat you or make you a success, its our big mouth that keeps us from our inheritance in the Lord. So put a guard over your mouth and next time you're about to speak ask your self, " do I want this harvest in my field?"

Always remember the Word of God for today...:)
