Greetings :)  

  

Don't you love encouraging words? I sure do!  I think all of us would like to say things..or hear things such as : 

 

Great Job *You are clearly a child of YHWH!* Way to go * You are so creative * Your talents never cease * Terrific * Fantastic * You are very thoughtful * Thank you * At-a-boy/girl * I trust you * You are a joy *You shine!* Stupendous * Marvelous * You are a beautiful person * That was so good * I'm so proud of you * You're a miracle * That was ambitious * Let's try again * Let's try it together * You are generous * You're the best * Great * You make me smile * You're a great artist * You are super * You're on your way * I appreciate your …etc etc.   

  

Wouldn't hearing  that just make us feel warm and fuzzy and good about ourselves?  It is very important to speak words that edify, all our words we speak should be according to Scriptures: 

 

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers 

 

We follow by example, we learn from The Master.  Look into the mirror and tell yourself this:, for far better than words that make us simply feel good, are YHWH's Words, who HE calls us, how HE sees us.  Believe HIM! 

Say to self: "I am".... 

  

1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are ( I am) the temple of Elohim, and that the Spirit of Elohim dwelleth in you (in me)? 

1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are (I am) washed, but ye are (I am) sanctified, but ye are (I am) justified in the name of the Master Yahushua, and by the Spirit of our Elohim.  

Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became(I am) the servants of righteousness. 

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be (I am) made the righteousness of Elohim in him. 

 

Our faith comes by hearing, that hearing should always be the Word of YHWH.  Regardless of how we "feel", YHWH tells us who we are in and through our Messiah.  Look at your brothers and sisters.  Not through the eyes of the enemy who would have us look for faults...no look at who they have been made into through the grace of our Master.  Look at your children YHWH has given, tell them all who YHWH says they are too!  You know something? Once we believe who we are as YHWH's children, we will be walking in the position HE has called us to, and we will be calling ourselves who we are because of what HE has done for us, and the more we speak His Word, the more we will become edified walking in the perfection He has called us to, that work which HE began in us, HE is bringing to perfection! Never let our words get in the way! Speaking opposite the Word of YHWH, is speaking contrary to His Word.  Isn't it awesome to know, that YHWH forgives us when we repent of ill spoken words or even thoughts?  It's so much better to speak His way, that our words might bring grace to the hearers!  YHWH has convicted me to not just share this...but to live it!  For where I have failed, please forgive me!  Praise YHWH that I too, am forgiven, washed, justified and sanctified.  

 

Be blessed you servant of righteousness!
