A couple of years ago, as I was pondering goals, I sensed the Holy Spirit say: "Tell your year what it's going to do for you. Your tongue determines the direction of your life."
I had just decided to set a goal of changing my life by changing my words when the Holy Spirit gave me this lesson.
Now I speak to my year, I speak within the year, and I give praise at the end of the year to a God who has given me everything for life and godliness.
This isn't a "name it claim it" idea. It's so much more. It is born out of being deeply embedded in the vine of Jesus. It's fearing God and the power and authority behind the name of Jesus that one speaks His name wisely and with reverence. This means when I tell my year what it's going to do for me and I use the name of Jesus - I better consider my words carefully and make sure that I am in alignment with the Father.
His name is too precious and too pure to be used mindlessly. At the same time it is so amazing and powerful that when I speak to my year using the name of Jesus, I can be certain that I have what I speak. (Mark 11)
Amen.

I've been away for some time. Major changes. Launched a new business (www.paolalane.com), lots of personal growth...now I'm ready to connect with other Kingdom entrepreneurs for a mastermind/mentoring group. The Locals platform is where this will be hosted.
If you are a business owner that is looking to improve your business skills while first being rooted and grounded in the things of the Kingdom of God and desire to fine tune your ear and heart to the voice of the Father, then reach out.
This group will be free at this time but limited to 5 participants. I will act as a FACILITATOR - not an instructor. The goal is for everyone to contribute and learn from each other.
Email me at [email protected] if interested.
I'm a very introspective person. Even the littlest things I encounter in my day cause me to ponder and think deeply. This can be a drain on my emotions. The Psalms of King David are so relatable to me because one day I can be standing firm, confident, and shouting the praises of God, and the next day wondering why I'm even living - but I also come back to I praise God anyway in the midst of my darkest questions.
Mondays are intended to be reserved for study of the Word and time in His Presence. But my best intentions often get bushed back with pending issues with the business. Yet this morning, I was determined to reclaim my Mondays, and as I sit here with my Bible, pen, and paper - a thought fluttered by about all the work I could be doing and I quickly swatted it down because I NEED THIS DAY TO BE A BETTER ME. I need this day to do business better, to interact with family, friends, and customers with grace and mercy.
How profoundly it hit me that to care for our spirit and soul is of ...
