way for markus to both agree with what i've been trying to say and still make me feel convicted as crap

And we wonder why...
Markus Johnson


Yesterday I was getting ready for my Wednesday evening worship celebration and there was a stirring in my heart about a few things. It's one thing to start praying and God starts to speak to you but then it's another thing when you're just doing your thing and the Holy Spirit starts talking LOUDLY and commands your attention.

I had a similar experience yesterday.

Everybody needs to be very careful of what they say in this hour because we must remember Proverbs 21:23 He who keeps his mouth and his tongue, keeps his soul from troubles. Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

These are the times when we will be challenged to speak out of our emotions and frustration but we must not give in. We must speak the Word. We not only need to keep our tongue from speaking negative and faithless words but we must also be careful not to keep company with those who are not of the faith.

The Word tells us that the power pf death and life sits upon on our tongue. Many people are wondering why things are like they are but they never check to see what was the ;ast thing that they said. We don't take it as serious as we ought to but our words are so powerful and we are speaking our future into existence when we speak what the Word says or what our emotions are telling us.

The enemy wants to push the people of God into a corner and laugh in our faces but it's an indication that we are on the right track. If the enemy has told you that you're going under or that you won't make it, he just told you the opposite of what is about to happen. His tricks and schemes are nothing more but an intimidation strategy to get the people of God under pressure and to get their eyes off of what the Word says and on what our eyes are telling us. But remember....We walk by faith and not by sight.

Faith is what is in the Word of God and the only thing that God will respond to is his Word.
Times out for complaining and finding fault and speaking from the negative thoughts of doubt and unbelief; speak the Word of God.

Things will not change until we speak the Word of God. The Word says let the redeemed of the Lord say so. It's time for us to say something people of God.

The enemy wants to convince us to keep our mouths closed. He wants us to give in to the pressure Why? because he knows what's on the other side of the voice of victory. He wants us to shut up and not confess the promises of God and make us feel that it's just not working. What better solution do we have other than God's spoken Word? What answer is there other than Jesus? What hope is there other than Jesus? What other foundation can we stand upon and know for certain that we will not fall other than the Word of God?

Christ is the solid rock that we stand upon and all other ground sinks.

It's time church!! Keep sowing!! Keep giving!! Keep tithing!! The promises of the Lord are yes and amen. God's Word will never pass away. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever more. For the Lord is good and his mercy endures forever.

We've come too far to give up now. We've been standing too long now. We've been praising God for too long now to quit and to hold back his praises. If it ever was a time to stick to the Word it's now.

God will honor faith because faith is his Word.

DON'T LET GO OF YOUR FAITH!!

If we are going to quit tithing we might as well stop serving God too.
If we're going to stop giving and sowing me might as well give up on being a Christian too.
We cannot say that we have saving faith and not have faith in God as provider, healer and deliverer.

The same God that saved us is the same God that will provide for us.
Do we think we can be a Christian and not walk in obedience to the Word which says to tithe and to give and to sow? It's impossible.

If our faith is weak in the day of adversity, our faith is small the bible says.

It's time for us to encourage each other and to keep one another built up in the faith.

This is the best time for the church and we've said for years that revival was coming to America but if we throw in the towel and back down the church will miss its biggest and greatest hour to shine because the world is one step away from seeking the church for answers. Why? Because Heaven and earth will pass away but the Word of God will always stand. It's upon this Rock that we the church are built and established on.

God loved to wait until all the wine is all gone so He can throw a big party and guess what....we are the party. We thought we had awesome praise and worship services but you wait and see how the glory of God is going to sweep this earth.

So be careful! Watch those words. If you want to speak anything, speak the WORD!!
Because when we speak the Word we are speaking the truth and we are giving God something to work with.

SAY SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
