Speak To Yourself!

There's a constant filling of the Spirit that
you ought to be experiencing daily. God
says, "be filled with the Spirit", meaning it's
your responsibility to be filled. He also lets
you know how to do it - He says, "Speaking
to yourselves in psalms, hymns and spiritual
songs..." this doesn't mean speaking to one
another; it means I'm talking to me and
you're talking to you!
Words are important in the Kingdom of God.
God wants you to speak to yourself in
Psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs
(Ephesians 5:18-19). As you do, you are
constantly being filled with the Spirit, and it
becomes impossible for you to despair, be
frustrated or despondent in life.
But you can extinguish that fire by
speaking negatively. When you say things
like, "life is so hard; things are so bad; I
don't know what's happening to me; I'm so
frustrated..." You actually extinguish the
fire of God's Spirit in your life. Rather than
talk yourself down, there's something good
you can say to you! You can begin by
speaking to yourself in psalms and hymns
and Spiritual songs, singing and making
melody in your heart to the Lord. This
would cause joy to well up within you and
you'll be strengthened, for the Bible says
the joy of the Lord is your strength. Practise
this today!
