Speak Life Into February!

Declaring God's truth earlier in my day has had several positive effects on my days. Firstly, the Holy Spirit brings back to my mind, specific verses that pertain to my struggle during the day, and I am instantly empowered to get through it. Secondly, say I was offended by a friend earlier, and thought I got over it, a few hours later the Holy Spirit will remind me of the verse about forgiving others as I am forgiven of God. Such reminders have happened consistently, and it keeps me very accountable to God, and aligning with His Word on a continuous bases. After all, we are called to be not only hearers of His Word but DOERS! So join in- declare His truth consistently, walk in obedience to the and watch the transformation that will follow!
