Language Fluency

© 2004 Debbie Turner Chavers
Amos 3:3

Are we fluent in the language of life? or death?

What language do we speak day to day?

What is our native tongue?

Are we fluent? 

There is a God given tongue for each one of us.

We are anointed to think and speak life and not agree with death.


The promise of John 10:10 shows us clearly what the author and finisher of our faith would have us be fluent in and it is the language of life.

John 10:10

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


Heavenly language agrees with God and as a born again child of God your native tongue has become His Living Word.


If we allow ourselves to be tutored under a false hope we will have a cruel accent and live a life that dishonors the good that God has done within us.

God would have us set apart in all areas. We are in the world but citizens of Gods kingdom. 

What language do you speak? 

As with any tongue you can practice by studying and speaking until you become well versed.

Tongues are our prayer language but consider our daily speaking to a lost and dying world as a kingdom kid.


Amos 3:3 states that two cannot walk together unless they be agreed.

So seriously consider facts.


If you eat the news, the negative and your own opinion daily, the fruit that is produced will be death. 


Eating the Word of God acts as fertilizer to mature the fruit of the Spirit that is developing within you. (Read Galatians 5)

As you focus on the pure and lovely our native tongue in the kingdom is developed in clarity and consistency. Living Word begins to break down walls that imprison peoples mind, heart, and soul. 


In nature we prune and fertilize what we want to see mature and bring forth fruit.

Therefore cut off your constant exposure to the toxins of the world. 


In our daily life we apply the principle of John 10:10.

This principle does not bow in preference to age or nationality, the result is the same for all. 

Life unto life. 

Death unto death.


Daily we can practice the language of life. 

This language is available to all. 

What language will you learn.? 

What language will you become proficient in through practice? 

There is life and death in the power of your tongue. 

Become fluent in speaking life.

Jesus Christ came to Earth to give you life and that more abundantly. 

Agree with Him. 

Speak life, think on those things which are pure,lovely and of good report.

His Word has gone out into all the world. 

His Word will not return void.

Amen.

5 Questions Before You Decide

Heirlooms
© Debbie Turner Chavers

Daily we make decisions. Some decisions are quick and made with little thought, yet many decisions are life changing. I am writing this to encourage you to be mindful of several questions as you approach making a decision.


1. Is your decision what you dreamed of? 


2. Do you have peace and experience joy from the decision? 


3. Does your decision honor YOUR value and what YOU value?


4. Does the decision honor you?


5. Does the decision honor God?


These questions are relevant concerning  any decision we are considering as we live our daily life.


Jesus Christ said in 

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


Might have, yes, you have been given life and that more abundantly.

Honor that. You are loved.

Follow Me

I love the heart of John the apostle, but I relate to Peter the apostle on a gut/personality level. Peter appears to have been a sincere, dedicated, boisterous man. On most days I am exuberant with a love of life and people.
There are times when I can easily imagine myself, like John leaning on Jesus' breast, so assured, that I am the "Beloved" one. I am amazed at my own "feelings" as I think along these lines of thought. Yet, I am aware that without a close eye toward my Shepherd and His instructions, I can easily be overcome with my feelings, not the scripture facts.
I can relate in areas of my life with each disciple described in God's Word. Yet I never want to relate to Judas Iscariot in action or thought!
Judas Iscariot reminds me of my Art Parable, The Love of Money Is The Root of All Evil, © 2010 Debbie Turner Chavers.

Each disciple related to Jesus Christ in a unique way in their personal relationship  with Him.
Yet, Judas Iscariot is the only one who appears to call Jesus, Rabbi (Master) but not Lord.
It is not hard to see the choices that Judas made toward the "Follow Me" admonition. Without the saving knowledge of Jesus as his Lord, Judas evidently found it impossible to "Follow Him."
A love of money will warp your thoughts concerning God and people.  Our flesh manifests quickly if our hearts do not call Jesus, Lord and only acknowledge Him as a teacher. All of humanity is a teacher of something. But only Jesus is Master and Lord.

The sincerity of godly love is often misunderstood and mistrusted.  The flesh is suspicious toward sincerity, it appears unnatural to the natural mans mind. Only the Spirit of God can cause love, His love to make sense to our natural minds.
As I studied John 13, I saw that Jesus washed all of the disciples feet.  The all included Judas Iscariot, John, and Simon Peter's feet.
John leaned on Christ, Judas Iscariot would betray Christ and Peter would deny Christ.
Yet..He washed them all. Not just the ones named. He washed them all. He is still willing and able to wash and redeem you today.

Judas hardened his heart toward Jesus Christ, but he loved the bag he was entrusted to keep.
If you do not heed Jesus' admonition to "Follow Me" the Love of money, not actual money, will trip you as a sure stumbling block in your eternal path toward the Father and His Truth.
Consider who or what is your Master.
Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13


Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  "Follow Him."
~Debbie


John 13:13  Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
John 13:23  Now there was leaning on Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John 12:6 This he said, not that cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was in put therein.
John 13:29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
