Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
You control your destiny, not Me. I have the plans for your life, which are for your shalom and not evil for a glorious future and a glorious hope but it is your choice whether you follow My plan or another.
To know Me, you must understand that I fully respect and abide by your decisions for your life. But if you are wise, you will agree with My plans and be willing to obey My Words and directions. I am here to help you achieve your life’s goal, which is your salvation.
And though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9.
I try to lead and guide you to all truth. I present you with every opportunity to have the best life now and forever. I give you My Words, My Name, the blood of Jesus poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins, the Name of Jesus, and My life and glory in you but ultimately it is your decision whether you choose life or death, blessing or cursing, love or hate, goodness or evil.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days. Deuteronomy 30:19-20.
I speak the end from the beginning and so should you because it orders your days aright and gives you wisdom of heart. You must understand the power in your tongue.
But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 12:36-37.
To make your way prosperous and successful you must be purposeful about your words and your actions. It is simple—speak what you want and not what you do not want for future events. And for the present the same. Your life, your future, your eternity depends on the words of your mouth which come from the thoughts in your heart. I am very careful of the Words I say and watch over My Word, even in your mouth, to perform it. If I can just get you to agree with Me I can go to work to perform the good, pleasing and perfect result in your life that it is My desire to give you.
Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. 3 John 1:2-4.
This is very serious for it is your forever. Where you spend eternity all depends on what you are saying now in time. Whether you are in Heaven or hell is up to you, not Me. I desire that all people be saved and come to know the truth and be with Me forever. I planned Heaven for you.
Jesus gave His life as a ransom for all. He died once for ALL. No one is excluded from the unfathomable riches of Christ. He is My gift to you—to all the world. Everyone who believes in Him is saved and will never perish. You who are in Him have passed from death to life.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18.
He took your judgment that you could not pay and paid it for you. You had already been judged and condemned in Adam and until there was someone who could pay the judgment of an eternal life in the flesh for the one Adam murdered by sin the judgment was not paid. But there was no man born of Adam’s seed, now corrupted by the rejection of My Word for the lies of the devil which had planted in Adam’s heart replacing the seed of My imperishable Word of truth bringing death to all men, that could pay the judgment. So I sent forth My Word to take flesh and dwell among you born from on High, free from the corrupted seed of Adam. And He had an eternal life in the flesh to give. But He could not die until He took all your sins into His own flesh and then He had to die for the wages of sin is death, but He bore that death for everyone, taking all sin upon Himself to set you free of sin to be blameless and righteous with My own righteousness before Me.
But as any gift, it is not complete until received by the one it is given to. You must receive Him as Lord to receive the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace that gives you eternal life with Me forever in the Kingdom. You must receive Him to become born again from on High and not from below so that you are qualified to receive the inheritance of My children in the realm of light.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.
And how do you receive this wonderful gift and be assured of eternal life? Be assured of salvation? Be assured that the judgment is paid, the sentence satisfied, and you are holy and blameless before Me by what I have done for you in Christ Jesus your Lord? Follow My directions and you will be your own best friend, so grateful to what you did in the body for all eternity and loving the day you were born onto so great a salvation, so great a joy, so wondrous an existence, so beautiful an inheritance. Do not be your own worst enemy and cause yourself to spend eternity in hell, cursing and hating the day you were born.
“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 8:8-10.
Upon what you just read hangs your eternity. And you do not have to go far to do this and it is forever. You have My Word as written in the Bible everywhere you turn now, websites, Bible apps, on the internet, printed, preached, broadcast in every county by satellite. You just have to receive My Word and let it plant in your heart by faith and speak it with you mouth. You believe in your heart that I raised Jesus from the dead, for He died for your sins and was raised showing they were gone, the judgment and sentence satisfied, and you were a new creation in Him again in My image and according to My likeness as if sin had never been. And then you receive Him as Lord by speaking with your own mouth that Jesus is Lord, your Lord.
For whoever calls upon His Name as Lord is saved.
And by your words you are acquitted and by your words you are condemned. Do not condemn yourself from so great a salvation by rejecting Jesus, for a gift not received is not complete for the one who has rejected it. But if you receive Jesus, you are complete.
You have total power over yourself, over your life, over how you live now in this world and forever after. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE DO NOT ENSLAVE YOURSELF TO SIN AND LOSE ALL THAT JESUS DIED TO GIVE YOU!
I love you and I want you to have your full reward. Never give up and give in to sin. Instead let Jesus usher you into My presence in the Holy of holies and there take the mercy you need to live and find the grace that provides you with skill, answers, and creativity you need to make your way My way of life, prosperity and peace. You decide where you abide. Choose shalom.
