Letting Your Talk Be Awesome

Most of what I write to you has a blessing prophesied in it somewhere: “Be strong; be courageous; be awesome.”

What are you saying to yourself? If it sounds like, “I’m tired; none of my friends really care about me; I can’t stand ____ anymore; I’ll never get this paid off; the next thing to break will probably be ____;” or anything else that sounds like Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh wrote it, you need to stop.

Be convinced that as many times as Jesus told people who were His listeners and followers that they did not have much faith, that it doesn’t take much faith to build a house nor to burn one down. Peter was told that he didn’t have much faith while he was getting in the boat with Jesus after walking on water.

Therefore, be convinced that even your pitiful faith could set any stupid prophecy in place and empower it! Be committed, then, to consider prophesying smart things, even if you don’t feel like you have faith to bring them into existence: “I can do anything Jesus sets me to do, because He will give the strength it takes to do it; I will be healed; he or she will be healed; I have enough understanding to be creative and successful; Jesus will supply me with friends who love me and help me succeed; people are praying for me; I can’t mess up if I don’t give up,” for example.

Be awesome. Talk about it like it’s going to happen.
