What Are You Saying???

Please make a note to yourself to strike the following words &/or phrases from your daily vocabulary, thought processes and lifestyle:

*This is just how its gonna be.
*My marriage will never change.
*That's just who I am.
*My husband will never change.
*Nothing ever goes right with me.
*I hate being married.
*I can't do this anymore.
*"You can just leave!"

Feel free to alter your own list and add to it every negative things they you find yourself saying and thinking about your relationship with your man.
Ask yourself this question: "How can  expect my marriage, or my life, to change if I'm always saying and thinking negatively about it?"

Hmmmm....

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

You have a lot of power. You can decide what the outcome of your marriage will be, through Christ, and that decision can be determined by your words. What you speak out of your very own mouth about your husband and your relationship is what you will begin to see with your very own eyes. If you say it won't work, then it won't. If you say you hate your marriage, then you will.
But if you say what you want to happen, and what you have faith in God to happen, you will see that as well, because your words are according to your faith.

2 Corinthians 5:7
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
( NKJV)

You have to decide what you want and say it, even before you see it start. If you want your marriage to change, for you to change and for your husband to change, you can't just want it. You have to pray about it! Tell God how you are feeling and believe that He cares and will move in your marriage. Then begin to speak it... Out. Loud.
At first I promise it will feel weird, but remember, we are moving out of our feelings. Seeing your marriage decline but still speaking its abundance may feel strange. But remember that we serve a God that can do all things and your marriage is important to you do it's important to Him.
Let me encourage you; your words are so very important because it shows what's in your heart. That's why when you spend a lot of time being negative, you begin to feel bad. Because you have the power to change the atmosphere around you. So that list of phrases that we decided to take out of our vocabulary and thoughts earlier, replace them with positive ones.
*Things are getting so much better.
*I'm so happy.
*My marriage is great!
*My husband is amazing!

It may not change all at once, but you just start speaking according to your faith, and you will have what you say.

Mark 11:24
"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."  (NKJV)
