Category: Letting God Use Us

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Lining up with the Spirit of God, and obeying Him, will sometimes put us in places saying things or doing things that we never thought we would say or do to help someone who needs it badly.

God is love, so when we speak in and through His Spirit, it will always be done out of love and great concern.

If we hold a grudge against the person we are speaking to, the words won’t be as effective.

If we have unforgiveness in our hearts toward them, the words we speak won’t mean much.

If we are jealous toward them, and we try to speak words to help them, the words will carry no weight whatsoever.

Words are powerful when spoken through God’s love with humility and truth. They bring life. And those who love it will eat its fruit! The words will take root.

God can and will use our words when we empty ourselves of anger, bitterness, jealousy and unforgiveness. We need to understand that we are not perfect, and allow God to move us past our pain.

God knows what has soiled our hearts. And He knows what lingers and needs to be removed in order for us to be able to use  words to bring life into a situation.

The question is, will we allow Him to scan our hearts today and help us to be delivered and healed from the things that keep us from speaking words of life to those who need it?

1 Peter 4:10 (NKJV) 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Just the other day we took a walk.

After our walk I was thirsty and in need of a drink. So, we stopped by this small shop and I grabbed an iced tea.

As the young lady at the counter was waiting on me, I asked her, “how was your Christmas?”. Just a simple question.

Sometimes we ask things and are not expecting the answer that we get.

She went on to explain to me about her Christmas, I listened intently, only to hear about this poor young lady’s experience as she shared what she was going through.

What she shared was heavy. And I told her that there are things in life that we go through that we will only make it through with God’s help. And then I told her that I will be praying for her.

She welcomed it and was so happy to hear that someone would pray for her. She smiled big, but I could see the pain in her eyes from the heartache she was carrying.

As I got back into the vehicle, I began to cry very hard. Seeing this young girl go through so much hit me hard.

We just never know when or where God will use us to minister His love to others.

We need to be open to serving Him no matter what we’re doing or where we are.

He wants to help people, and we are His good stewards, full of His love and compassion.

We need to let it flow to those He directs us to.

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…

Going through this last week with the loss of my brother, Rob, was very hard.

Thank you all for your prayers and sincere condolences. They were very much appreciated. They truly held me up and I was able to help others.

There were times I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Anxiety was trying to take over. I would remind myself often about God’s word, as I would take a deep breath and let it out, saying, “be anxious for nothing, be anxious for nothing, be anxious for nothing”.

As the day of the funeral came, I didn’t want to think about me and how I felt. I wanted to know how I could help someone that is going through hardship and needed to be encouraged.

There was an opportunity here to reach others.

I shared a story of my brother, and how the liver transplant he had received was a miracle from God. And as I shared it from the pulpit, not a tear fell from my eye, not a a bit of nervousness was in me, nor anxiousness in my voice.

The people listened intently, and afterwards several came up and told me how beautiful it was and that they needed to hear it.

This world is made up of hurting people. There’s no time to waste.

When the opportunity is knocking, we have to decide whether we will take it or let it pass by. We are here to love one another every chance we get.

Let us reach out, in spite of our own painful situation, and bring encouragement to those who may be suffering.

When we are aching deep within our own hearts, and we choose to do something good with it, the ears of the lost and hurting will hear it, feel it and open up to it.

Let God move even in our pain. He is faithful to give us the strength, the sound mind and peace through it all.

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
