The other day I was talking with a guy and his wife happens to be a Realtor.  Atlanta Home Inspector says no negative wordsI was asking him how she is doing and he quickly goes into the slow market thing.  I sat there listening to all that he was saying and all the negative comments made me think.  How many of us are in the process of stopping our prosperity right in the middle of it heading our way.  How many times do we say "Oh Lord, You're going to have to help us out of this situation only to turn around and put a halt to his answer to our quickly said prayer.  If you look around you can find all kinds of things talking about your thoughts and the words that you say and how it affects your life.  There is power in the spoken word and you will be what you constantly think you are.  This makes me think of two scriptures: There is Life and death in the tongue, chose life.  Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.  But the main thing I come back to is this one simple fact, When God started everything in the beginning he spoke it.  So to me anything that we pray and then talk negatively about is just a waste of time in our prayer life.

Atlanta Home Inspector wants to know what you're saying

 

 

What are you saying about yourself, your business, and your kids.  Are you a blessing or are you speaking curses in the form of negative words?  Are you cancelling your prayer request as quick as you say them?

David - You make a great point here.  I have always liked the second verse you mentioned ("out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks").  I also like "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  This is a great reminder for all of us.  Well done!

Whenever people ask me how business is with their doom and gloom voice, I always tell them that I am very busy and what an opportunity this market has brought.  I also do remind them that real estate has always been meant to be a long term investment and not a get rich quick scheme.  We have been spoiled over the last 10-15 years with the real estate market rising so quickly and many people benefited from it and are angry now that we are in more of a normal market.

Amie, Even when I was running a little slower with inspections than I liked, when someone asked how things were going I would say "Well yesterday was a little slow, but business is just a phone call away and it's coming."  I heard once that we speak our tommorws.

That agent needs to read the book the "Secret". Its all about how you present yourself and how your life is affected by your actions and your thoughts.

Mary and Michelle, I agree completley, and tried to share some of this with the guy.  I really wanted to put duck tape over his mouth which was not very nice of me but I thought I could at least stop the negative words from flowing.

Amen, brother!  Our words bring life or death, blessing or a lack thereof. Out of the mouth proceed the issues of the heart.  Got to get the heart right and everything else will follow!  Heart, thoughts, choices, actions, and words - they are all linked and come out in our attitude and speech in every area of life, including our business.  We believe and speak accordingly, and we are blessed!  Bless y'all!

No who whines is ever blessed in scripture

God rewards those who are faithful and believe on Him no matter what the situation looks like.

"As a man thinketh, so he is also"  You just have to believe it!    If you think (and say) you're in the middle of a professional crisis, you have just created tomorrow as a continuation of that...If you believe you're right where God wants you, you are blessed no matter where that place is!

Very well said David. It has been a process but I'm learning not to speak negative anymore. Bewteen Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen, and reading the word...I watch what comes out of my mouth. Thanks for sharing this.

John & Susan, you two are correct are words to bring life or death blessings or lack of and right now is a great time to pay attention to what you're saying.  It is so easy to fall into the trap of listening to the media.  If nothing else, maybe it's time to fast the media and focus on what God's Word says.  Thanks for stopping by and commenting have a great weekend.
