You're welcome.
Many people (beginning with the news) speak negative. We are bombarded by negative speaking that comes from negative thinking.
Part of our commission is to infuse Life and Light into our loved ones, our friends, neighbors and acquaintances. But we must first begin by infusing the Living Word into us. For the Word of God is Living and Powerful, sharper than any two edged sword...and it is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
It is not always to think and speak positively infusing Life and Light. However my experience has taught me the more I speak the Word of Life into me, the stronger I/we become in Christ and the Holy Spirit then gives us Wisdom on how to reach those who are filled with fear and insecurity. He will make manifest how we ought to to speak; to walk in Wisdom to those who are without redeeming the time. As we season our speech with Grace and salt (giving it flavor while preserving the Truth), we will know how to answer every person. (Colossians 4:4-5). I do not "preach" anything I have not experienced. If I have not experienced the Power of the Precious Blood of the Lamb, I would not be able to encourage others to apply the Cleansing and Protective Blood of the Jesus, the Lamb of God.
Last year, I went to the grocery store. As I paid for groceries, I helped load them in the shopping cart, leaving my wallet on the counter. I drove off and stopped to fill up my gas tank. It was there that I realized I left my wallet on the counter. As my heart and mind began to panic with fear, the Holy Spirit brought to my mind Phiippians 4:6-7. So I told the Lord: Your Word instructs me not to be anxious. So I am placing my Trust in You to protect my wallet. Encamp Your Angels around it so that no one takes it. But no matter what happens, it is in Your Hands and You will protect me and my finances. Thank You Lord Jesus for receiving my prayers, my request. Thank You Holy Spirit. Praise You Abba Father."
I mustered every speck of Faith in me!!! It was not easy not to be anxious!! As much as was in me, I obeyed the Word not to be anxious.
When I got to the store, my wallet was in the manager's office completel in tact. Nothing was missing.
I believe I was rewarded and my level of Faith shot up a notch!
Remember. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. (Matt 12:34). If we think negatively, we are going to speak negatively. Speaking the Word of God into us changes our stinking thinking. By His Spirit working in us, we are empowered with a sound and clear mind and a spirit of Love. (2 Timothy 1:7)
[Thank You Lord Jesus for blessing me/us with the Power of Truth, of Love, with the Power of a sound Mind. I have a sound mind because I/we have have the Mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16). To You be all Glory and Praise.

May our Wonderful, Loving and Gracious God continuously bless and grant each and everyone here supernatural Favor that we may prosper in spirit, soul, body and financially to the Praise and Glory of our Great and Awesome God. :-)
