The Holy Spirit wants to encourage you today to stop saying things that bring storms into your relationships. You have been wondering why you have just been circling and recycling the same situation with your spouse and children even though you are spending more time with the Lord and seem to be gaining momentum only to have conversation which seems to blow up all the good you gained in the Lord and your back speaking words that activate storms and re-run cycles of pain and disappointment that seem far from the word the Lord spoke to you earlier.

I thought they were to be a help and support to me and not the source of problems.

The Holy Spirit wants you to break that cycle by first refusing to speak negatively no matter what aggravates you and how it comes. Remember satan will use that closest person to you to get you as just he used Peter to get at Jesus.Matthew.16:23.

You need to choose the high road and even if you mistakenly speak out of turn, repent immediately and reverse the words with positive confessions and get back in your new position in God of restraining your tongue to speak only what the Lord says and nothing else.

He pointed out that as Job began speaking negative words about himself in Job:3 about his situation his friends who had been with him in his plight only added their negative comments once he started cursing himself and satan now had what he wanted because they kept the fight going and there was no end to it until someone addressed it and changed the narrative to what the Lord’s perspective was.

This occurred in Job:32 when Elihu confronted them with the truth about God and God then showed up in Job:38 and answered Job who then sees his error of statements, repents and can find his life restored back by God and has double what he had before.

God then uses the attempt of satan to outwit Job to enlighten Job and give him more concrete evidence of why he should not just speak loosely, but watch his words which could darken his path with the Lord and create roadblocks for his own life which in turn means he lives out death rather than life because of his words.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to wake up and come out of allowing your speech to rob you of the help and aid God has for you first with your family and start aligning back to what God has said to and for you and how He wants you to respond in difficult situations rather than blotting out the lies of satan which still are the ropes he satan then uses to bind and hinder you from expanding and enjoying days of heaven on earth which is God’s intention for you.

May the grace released to you through these words empower you to stop acting repetitively and speaking out of turn and give you courage and strength to speak emphatically for the Lord and stun your adversary and bring you victory in the place of continued failure bringing glory to the name of the Lord and putting satan’s works to shame.

May the story the Lord has for you speak so loud and clear that you are unrecognizable and it is said of you, you have been with Jesus and we admit we only see His Hand and seal on your life in Jesus Name. Amen.
