Finding Strength and Encouragement in Faith

Hi everyone, this is Monique with Monique Stallings Ministries, and I'm just here waiting for my spouse. He's having a GI procedure done. While I'm sitting here, I just want to encourage everyone that's going through something today. But remember, the prayer is, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily breads and forgive us from our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

I did a recording on strongholds of the minds. And this is a i just want to encourage everybody to say the the lord's prayer has everything in it and no matter what you're going through and whom you're going through with it know this that this is a fallen world and we are dealing with fallen people all of us even the body of Christ and that we have to daily, daily work our spiritual tool, which is the word of God, asking that the full armor of God remain on us, casting down strongholds and wicked imaginations that will come into our spirit, our soul.

Watch what we see, guard what we see, guard what we you listen to. And some of us are always in an environment today where people are always using foul language or are talking about someone. And I was in that atmosphere before, but what kept me was that I learned that I know I had to be the salt of the earth. I had to be the light. And when you do not conform to the principalities and systems of this world. People that are called to Christ will be drawn to you. When someone uses foul language, you don't entertain in that. If you make a mistake with a coworker that morning because we're human, you're going to apologize and you will see an atmosphere change.

And I'm not saying for you to roll over and die and be a doorman. I'm saying this. Keep the Holy Spirit close to you. Remember what the commandments tell you. Remember what Jesus tells us. And these are tools that we have to exercise our mind, our soul, our emotions, our will, even our flesh, and that we cannot do it alone. We need the words that have been instilled in our hearts, and we need the Holy Spirit more so than ever before, that he will help and guide us, counsel us, teach us, remember all things, be our advocate. But we have to be still in order to hear him.

And I just want to say I wish blessings on every one of my brothers and sisters and those who are coming into the faith. Let's be the salt of the earth so and we don't lose our savior, our flavor, Believer, believer, should I say. All right, you all have a great and blessed day, wherever you are.
