Tell Me Something Good



" A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
   - Proverbs 25:11

 Dear Friends,

 What a visual when we close our eyes and imagine apples of gold in pictures of silvers.
Silver and gold, there is something majestic about the combination.

 What do we say to this comparing and contrasting of right words to form this magnificent visual in Proverbs 25:11?  

 Words, right words, words spoken in season have lasting impact.  Choose your words carefully.

 One of my favorite Bible verses is found in the book of James: 

 "Swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath..."
     (James 1:19)

 Caution needs to be exercised before opening our mouths.  Likewise, discretion needs to be exercised in determining what words we receive in our spirit.

 Attacks from the enemy often come through the words of other people.  Those whom the Lord sends come with truth and life.  This does not mean the message is always pleasant but it is always meant to build you up and make you stronger in Christ.

 Tell me something good

  • I don't want to hear the gossip
  • I am not interested in slander
  • I will not entertain negativity
  • I rebuke fiery darts meant to tear me down
Tell me something good
  • Encourage with the Word of God
  • Build one another up with the Good News
  • Tell somebody that Jesus saves
  • The words I love you can brighten a day
Tell me something good

Jesus said:

" It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."  - St. John 6:63

Tell me something good:


" A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
   - Proverbs 25:11


in Christ,

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
