James 1:26

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

Do you feel defeated? Check and see what words are coming out of your mouth. Most of the time we are the cause of our own defeat. What you believe eventually you speak. If you have God’s word and thinking coming out of your spirit, your tongue will confess it. “Well, I can’t help what comes out of my mouth.” Yes, you can, and God will help you. Imagine Jesus standing right next to you as you speak and see if that changes what you say. This is important to get a hold of, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Proverbs 18:21. If it weren’t possible, God wouldn’t have said it.
