Silence is Golden
Sometimes silence is golden. Today I woke up knowing I need to be quiet more and just listen - lean into Jesus and trust - and rest. Oftentimes my words wear me out.
Luke 1: 19-20
19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
The scripture above is written about Zechariah the priest who was the father of John the Baptist. Sometimes, as in this instance, I believe our words get in the way of simply believing and trusting that what God has said and is saying is Truth.
Facts exist and cause our eyes to get off of Jesus and onto our circumstances. The good news is Truth and trusting that Truth overrides facts. Facts change but Truth never changes.

As Our Soul Prospers
As we read the Word of God, it is very important that we ask the Holy Spirit to bring us revelation knowledge. The Lord began revealing this scripture to me a long time ago but it has taken time for me to truly grasp its meaning.
3 John 2 KJV
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul prospereth.
Our soul is our mind, will and emotions. We are made up of 3 parts - spirit, soul and body. In the fashion of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. When we are born again, when we come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, our spirits are instantly renewed. At that time we still have the same mind and the same body. Our body is our house. The place our spirit dwells. We have to find a connecting point to get what is from our spirit to our body. That connecting point is our soul - our mind, will and emotions. We must renew our mind with the Word of God and revelation from God. Then, as we are truly connected to the spirit man which is made perfect by our relationship with Jesus Christ, we will begin to prosper and be in good health in every area of our lives.
