Inside Out, Weekly Word of Faith

Weekly Word of Faith Title

Dove Divider

Every other Monday a new "Weekly Word of Faith" will be posted, as well as a "Scripture Reading for that day". The purpose of this is to spend a whole week mediating on this weeks "Weekly Word of Faith".

Why? Because God's Word tells us that what's in our hearts is what will come out our mouth (Matthew 12:34). He also tells us in Matthew 12:37 that it is by our words that we will be either justified or condemned. So you see, it's what we allow into our heart that is going to come out our mouth's and what comes out our mouths will either bless or condemn us. So it is vital that we get God's Word and God's ways down in our hearts. When we do this, we will begin taking on the image of God on the inside and we will begin speaking words of faith and what we speak is what we really have faith in.

Choose Friends Wisely

"I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate (closely and habitually) with unchaste (impure) people."

(1 Corinthians 5:9, The Amplified Bible)

The company you keep has such an influence on your spiritual life. Fellowshipping with godly people will help speed you on to victory, while fellowshipping with those who are ungodly will drag you down to defeat.

That's why the Bible has some things to say about your friends. That's why it tells you to separate yourself from the world. Because evil companions will corrupt you.

Now, I'm not talking about ministry. Jesus Himself ministered to sinners. You have to mix with them to preach to them and pray for them. What I'm talking about here are the people you choose for friends.

If you want to walk in the things of the Lord, don't choose friends who walk in the things of the devil, people who talk and act ungodly, who don't give God any place in their lives. They'll pull you down. As you rub shoulder with them, you'll expose yourself to temptation. You'll get so familiar with sin it will start to appear less repulsive to you. Sooner or later, you'll fall into it.

So choose your friends wisely. Fellowship with those who call on the Name of the Lord out of a pure heart (2 Tim. 2:22). Expose yourself to their love and peace. Let their faith rub off on you!
