Speak Encouragement, Turn a deaf ear to Negativity!

  A group of frogs were traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a deep pit.  All the other frogs gathered around the pit.  When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might.  The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead.  Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up.  He fell down and died.
    The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.  Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.  He jumped even harder and finally made it out.
    When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" A frog explained to them that he was deaf.  He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
    This story teaches two lessons:

1.      There is power of life and death in the tongue.(Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. )An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.

2.      A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them. Be careful of what you say.

    Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words....it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.
    Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.
    Be special to others.

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

You never know how much a kind word can mean to an individual that may be on the brink of giving up, and giving in! Sometimes we must do as David did and encourage ourselves in the Lord. But not everyone is able to encourage themselves, not everyone is to that point. Our young people (literally children, and young in the Lord) need all the encouragement we can give them to make it. Our young people go to school were 99% of peers are NOT like them, they spend the majority of their time at school. while there they are being taught confusion. From evolution to the homosexual lifestyle, they are being taught contrary to the word of God. The school system, the teacher, the bus driver, the world, most of their peers aren't going to encourage them to live for God. So we must!! And young people you need to be one another's biggest supporters. They need to know that they are beautiful without the junk this world paints themselves up with. Without dressing as immodest as the world. It's the beauty of holiness!! And it aint optional. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Rom 15:1  We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Isa 35:3  Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

Isa 35:4  Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

Everything in the world, the spirits of the world, the lust of the world, all are against the church and those trying to live right. More than ever we need to let each know that we can make it, that we can see it though. Remind somebody that God loves them and is for them. Find someone to share this gospel with, for truth is our only hope. God is our hope. Speak life. Speak positive, ignore the negative voices! WE NEED TO VALIDATE THAT WHICH IS RIGHT,AND ABHOR THAT WHICH IS AGAINST GOD!! MAKE HEROES OUT OF FAITHFUL MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD ,NOT OUT OF HOLLYWOOD!!

Psa 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

So with whomever you have influence, encourage them to live for God!!Speak encouragement, don't let folks die in their pit. Help them out

Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (DONT KICK A BROTHER WHILE THEY DOWN, HELP THEM UP!)

Our goal is to make heaven our home, to be children of God! WE must be baptized in his name and filled with his Spirit after repenting of our sins, encourage those around you to OBEY GOD, thats their only hope! WE can make!

Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

You can make it!! And if you have fell then....

Mic 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

YOU CAN MAKE IT!!! ENCOUARE SOMEBODY!!
