ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS

 We can talk about God until we are blue in the face, but if our actions do not match our words, we are only fooling ourselves. Some people might be impressed by what we say, but God only reacts to our actions and hearts. (James 1:22-26 but prove yourselves doers of the Word, not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.  

 We would never have to open our mouths if we were true believers; because our actions will speak for us. Our parents love us, and they may never say the words "I love you,"; but the things they do for us and the sacrifices they make prove they love us.   I love my sons so much that I would die for them; that is how much Jesus loves us; he is willing to die so we can live.    And we crucify Him daily through our sins and disobedience; some of us preach His Word but do not live by His Word. 

Lord, forgive us for being listeners of Your Word, but not doers of the Word. Father, reveal those that prophesy falsehood in Your name; because they preach a false vision, divination, futility, and the deception of their own minds. Lord, please give us Your wisdom through studying Your Word; so we can stand in the council of You.  Lord, give us eyes that see and ears that hear so that we will give heed to your Words. Father, we are disconnected from our Spirits; because of our desires of sin. Please open our hearts and minds to Your Word so that we may be restored to You.  Father, give us the exact knowledge of Your Word; so we may be transformed into Godly people and not a hypocrite. Lord, forgive us for not making the sacrifices, to live as You have instructed us, and putting other gods before You.  Father, please, deliver us from abominations as we stand before You in the house called by Your name. In Jesus' name Amen
