There is such power in the words we speak. Through our words we open doors and close doors. Have you ever been in a situation where you are thinking in conversation, "Should I say this or not?" Then you decided to say it later realizing it might have been better to stay away from that particular subject? Words are much like keys that open doors to different rooms. Some rooms you would love to step into and other you might not.

Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."
We need the spirit of wisdom and the inspiration of the Spirit to use our words for God's greater good. Our words are powerful with the ability to move us in the right direction. They have the power to get us stuck or break us loose. Ultimately, we all want to speak from God's inspiration.
Have You Ever Run Into Those Who….
1. Have all the "right words" but don't have the substance behind them? We live in a society that says much but doesn't have the actions to support those words.
2. Then you may find some who don't have all the words right but they have the right actions, a good heart and are people of substance.
3. There also are those who have all the right actions, seem to be experts but only to be seen by men and to look good.
All of us have missed it at one time or another. When we look at Jesus, He had all the right words and actions. He is the Perfect Man. He lived His earthly life for the pleasure of the Father. How was He able to do it? It all came down to inspiration. Jesus lived by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We need the inspiration of God to live the way He has intended for us. When God breathes His Spirit into our lives He causes His Word and voice to come alive enabling us to exude the qualities of His Kingdom. After all, this is not about living by a list of things to do, a list of things to say and about being perfect. God is perfect and has the perfect solution. The way God solved this issue was by sending His Spirit to come and dwell in us. As habitations of God we are able to receive inspiration of the Holy Spirit, hear His voice and follow His ways.
Matthew 11:30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Aren't you glad about that? Religion is a heavy load, but our relationship with the Lord is a joy and delight. When God awakens us there is an effortless grace and ecstasy that comes from His Presence. It is not that we don't face challenges. Yet, when we do face them we have His rest, His peace and His easy yoke upon our lives that graces us to live by His Spirit. This affects us in the most powerfully significant way. Solutions are not found in creating endless lists but in prioritizing His Presence in our lives, meditating on His words and following His voice. When we are awakened to the Lord our meditation will result in a life that reflects His nature in both word and deed.

Have you ever struggled to live for God? To be a living sacrifice? Even to just do the things that please Him? Typically, the issue lies in the focus and "the means" of how that is to happen. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1 It is through tending to our relationship with God, our communion with the Spirit and focus on the Lord that we are transformed and able to live after His desires. It's all about the relationship.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out. Leviticus 6:12-13 Recently I had a dream encounter where the Lord spoke to me that there is a greater need for more "fire on the altar." In this it was apparent that there was a need for prayer to permeate and infiltrate the atmosphere of the region. I could literally sense that the atmosphere was not what it needed to be - more prayer was needed.
