Little children trust that their parents are telling them the truth. It is a natural, instinctive tendency to trust but, should trust be broken, it is very difficult for them to completely trust again. This is why so many find it hard to trust that My Word is always true, even though I cannot lie, for they have had their heart troubled by another whom they trusted. Do you understand that it is impossible for Me to lie? For if I were to say it, then it would be.
I spoke and it became
This is why your words are so very important, for if you have been regenerated by My Spirit, your words are as powerful as Mine. You have been given power from on high to speak and it will be–if you believe.
How much more valuable are words than actions?
Words never stop working
A person’s words never stop for fatigue; they go forth and complete their mission, whether good or for evil. Therefore, guard your words and speak wisely. Measure by measure, they are your planted seed, and a full harvest you will receive in due season, whether for good or evil–you will produce fruit!
Let us begin by being trustworthy
Your little ones need to trust you, for I have trusted you with them. Bear fruit for righteousness. Seek truth and it will bear fruit in your life. If you dwell in evil, that too will prosper. Do you trust Me to tell you the truth? I trust you to seek truth, and not lie, for I have renewed your spirit.
So shall it be.
Trust Me
