Bless Yourself

Joyce Meyers was talking about some things as Christian's that we should do everyday. One of the things of course is being thankful. Sometimes we might forget about thanking Him for the little things and just center on the bigger things. Let's remember the little things since the little things make big things.

Psalm 100:4-5
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.  
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

1Thes 5:18 In every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

The other thing she said was that we should stay busy blessing everything and everybody. Numbers 6:23 says “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:  “‘“The Lord bless you and keep you;  the Lord make his face shine on you  and be gracious to you;  the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. ”’ “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

Deut 28:1-14
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.  All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
 The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.  The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you.  The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.    The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.  Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

The Bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue. We need to watch what we say. I have been doing the blessing everyday like she said. She said she blesses everything. I bless myself, my children, my husband, my dog, my checkbook everything. She says all day long we should bless whatever or whoever is in our path.

We should be blessing ourselves the most. We have more authority over ourselves than anyone else does.

So today bless yourself. Just say this: I am blessed, my husband it blessed, my children are blessed, my checkbook is blessed, my steps are blessed, my body is blessed, my dog is blessed, my day is blessed and so on. Positive words coming from your mouth will bring positive things your way!!

We have more authority over us than anybody else. We can reverse words spoken against us. We can reverse what is going on in the government. We can make sure God is glorified.

Forgot my Purse

 The other day when Butch and I and Willa left home, I got a little bit away from home and I realized I forgot my purse. Not a big deal came...
