Yom Shli-shi, Av 1, 6002 – July 25, 2017

Active Speaking

Thinking about how it is that we go about building one another up in the Messiah, one thing became clear to me. One way for sure that we do this is by the words coming out of our mouths. We can build up or we can tear down with the words that we say. This has been said and heard often. I would also suggest that the words that we sing have importance as well.

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Many songs I hear on the radio do not have the impact of building people up. Often they are about destruction.

Today, let everything that proceeds out of our mouths for this one day be positive, building someone up. We each hear everything that comes out of our own mouth, so we are impacted by what we say. In building others up, we build ourselves up as well.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done here with and among us as it is in heaven. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Heal up our hearts and minds. Wipe away every thought or memory of evil that we have done or that has been done to us, and replace these with thoughts and memories of only You. Let us all rejoice together in love for one another and the unity of peace. Deliver us from the evil that is here. Restore unto Your people one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back in any way that is positive from Your people, and the more besides. Rise up, my King, and let the whole world see what You alone have done. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
