Life and Death

Well, I have missed blogging since I've been away for Christmas. This Christmas was hard in many ways. Mostly due to negativity. I always miss home when I'm not there, but there seems to be a spirit of negativity over the place. I was so glad to return home tonight, where things felt closer to "normal," whatever that is. I had so many negative things confessed over me at home, that I feel like I need a bath just to get them all off of me. Lord, I pray you would cleanse me of all the word curses that were spoken, and I break them off of me, in Jesus' name. You say that the tongue has the power of life and death. I'm not sure you meant that figuratively. Lord, make my tongue a carrier of life. Help me to guard against saying things that agree with the enemy. Keep me alert to the caution of your spirit, and give me grace to heed it. I thank you Lord, for all the blessings of this Christmas. It feels so good to be home, and I thank you for that, Lord.
