🔥TAMING THE TONGUE DAY 2 IS LIVE 🔥

Yesterday we talked about the power of the tongue. Day 1 was about what comes out. Today we go deeper Day 2 is about what happens before it comes out. ..

Many of us know our words matter, but the real battle takes place before we ever open our mouths, in the space between what we feel and how we respond. This is where we choose what comes out... We either react in the flesh, or we respond through the Spirit.

Feelings are real, but they are not facts. The facts are found in the Word. We are called to renew our minds through the Word of God so the Holy Spirit will empower us so that we may not be controlled by our emotions. This is discipleship.

DAY 1 PART 1: STUDY Key Passage- Ephesians 4:29-32 (NLT) “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he h

ELIJAH IN THE VALLEY OF EXHAUSTION — VALLEY WARFARE 4

Elijah’s valley came after his victory, and that matters.

THE VICTORY — 1 Kings 18

Elijah had just witnessed the power of God on Mount Carmel. The fire fell. The prophets of Baal were exposed. The Lord was glorified. It was a massive spiritual victory. But by 1 Kings 19, Elijah hit the valley. He was afraid, exhausted, overwhelmed, and ready to give up.

And this is an honest reality we can all face after ongoing pressure, spiritual intensity, emotional depletion, and physical exhaustion. Elijah was not in the valley because he lacked faith. He was in the valley because he was human. He was worn out. And there is no shame in this valley...

This matters because we often think that if we are not always feeling the fire, then something must be wrong. We think we messed up somehow, or that our exhaustion means we are failing spiritually. But sometimes we are not failing. Sometimes we are just human. God did not rush Elijah. God did not rebuke him. God allowed him to rest. And we need to allow ourselves to rest too.

Sometimes the valley is not where God comes to correct your weakness. Sometimes the valley is where God comes to minister to it. Exhaustion can make fear louder. It can make the future feel impossible. It can make obedience feel heavier than it really is. It can make even faithful people feel like they cannot keep going.

But God is not offended by your limits. He knows you are dust. He knows your frame. He knows the difference between rebellion and depletion. And in Elijah’s valley, God restored him with tenderness before He gave him direction.

When we allow ourselves to rest and receive restoration, we are still battling valley warfare. Not by striving harder when our body and soul are exhausted, but by learning to receive the care of God in the low place.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is let God feed you, let yourself rest, stop demanding performance from your weakness, and listen for the gentle whisper of the Lord.

Valley Warfare Truth: God does not shame the weary. He restores them.

Confrontation has become a dirty word in many churches.

We’ve mistaken silence for love. Avoidance for peace. Comfort for compassion. But biblical discipleship often requires confrontation. Not because we’re angry. Not because we’re trying to control people. Not because we enjoy conflict. But because spiritual growth requires truth.

Sometimes discipleship requires:
• Correcting error.
• Addressing sin.
• Challenging compromise.
• Exposing deception.
• Calling someone higher.
• Refusing to affirm what God condemns.
• Having the difficult conversation everyone else is avoiding.

None of those things are comfortable. Yet throughout Scripture, God repeatedly uses correction, rebuke, exhortation, and accountability to refine His people.

The flesh wants to avoid confrontation. The flesh wants approval. The flesh wants to be liked. The flesh wants to stay silent and let someone else deal with it. But obedience isn’t measured by comfort. It’s measured by faithfulness.

The question is not:
“Will this conversation be uncomfortable?”
The question is:
“What does love require?”

Sometimes love comforts.
Sometimes love encourages.
Sometimes love confronts.
And sometimes the most loving thing you can do is care more about someone’s spiritual health than your own comfort.

“Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.”
— Titus 1:13

The call to fervent faith- being more like David

There are days when I genuinely do not I get myself, but God Loves Me anyway & I can love God deeply but still feel like a walking contradiction. I want to always be holy, surrendered, mature, and Spirit-led, but I also realize I am still very much human. One minute I can be worshiping with tears in my eyes, feeling the nearness of God, and the next minute I am distracted, overwhelmed, irritated, numbing out, or reacting in a way I wish I hadn’t.

It is honestly humbling how quickly I can go from “Lord, have Your way in me” to “Why am I like this?” That is why Romans 7:15 hits so hard. Paul says, “I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it.” And honestly, same!!!

Paul was not writing as someone who did not care about holiness, he was writing as someone who deeply cared, but understood the war happening inside of himself. He wanted righteousness, but he still felt the pull of the flesh. He desired obedience, but he still wrestled with himself in rebellion.

This reminded me of how the book of Psalms feels like an emotional yo-yo it’s God for David… David did not always get it right either. He had deep devotion, deep emotion, deep worship, and also some very serious sin. He had high highs and low lows. He could be brave and faithful one moment, then broken, overwhelmed, afraid, or completely undone in another. But what stands out to me is that David KEPT coming back to God, and God NEVER stopped loving him.

David brought God the good, the bad, and the ugly worship. He brought praise and pain. He brought faith and frustration. He brought confidence and confusion. He brought repentance and grief. He did not only come to God when he had the right words or the right attitude. He came honestly. Even when his emotions were all over the place, he kept seeking the heart of God- this is what I truly desire!!

And that matters because sometimes we think spiritual maturity means we are never messy, never emotional, never inconsistent, and never struggling…But David shows us something different. He shows us that maturity is not pretending we are fine- It is learning to keep returning to God with the truth despite how we feel or what we’ve done. That does not mean our behavior does not matter. It absolutely does! Fruit, Repentance, Obedience & Growth Matter!!

But our struggle does not disqualify us from being loved by God. Our unfinished places do not scare Him away. The parts of us we do not understand are still fully seen by Him. Ad long as we keep coming back he will keep renewing us and refining us…

So my goal today is to try and be more like David. To be honest with God no matter how I feel, and keep trying to remain faithful regardless of the situation or circumstances….Because the God who never left David will not leave me (or you) either.

Our behavior reflects whether we are producing spiritual fruit…

Behavior is not the root, but it is often the evidence. What comes out of us: our words, reactions, patterns, choices, attitudes, and responses under pressure, these reveal what is being formed within us.

The Word says we will know them by their fruit. That means fruit is visible. It shows up. It can be recognized. But we also have to be careful not to confuse temporary behavior modification with true spiritual fruit. Anyone can change for a season. Anyone can act mature for a while. Anyone can look disciplined, kind, humble, or even spiritually healthy from a distance…

TEMPORARY BEHAVIOR CHANGE IS NOT THE SAME AS SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION.

I was reminded of the fig tree story… and why it matters. From a distance- it had leaves, looked like it would have fruit and be able to feed Jesus. It had the appearance of life. But when He got near, there was nothing there. No fruit.

And Jesus was seemingly upset by the “appearance of life” without the EVIDENCE of fruit. So much so He cursed the tree to death!

God is not looking for leafy Christianity. Or fake bumper sticker personas… He is looking for those that bear the evidence of true spiritual fruit- those who show their faith in action.

True heart transformation requires choosing to actively surrender... Surrendering in obedience allows refinement and spiritual pruning. Being pruned by the Holy Spirit yields undeniable fruit... Fruit that is evidence-not performance, nor image control or temporary behavior changes. fruit.

“You will recognize them by their fruits.” — Matthew 7:16

DAVID IN THE VALLEY...The Valley Warfare Battle Plan Series

David did not pretend the valley was harmless. Psalm 23 does not say, “Even though I walk through the valley, nothing scary is there.” It says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” David’s confidence was not in the absence of danger. His confidence was in the presence of God...

That matters because sometimes we try to measure God’s nearness by how peaceful our circumstances feel. But the valley teaches us something deeper: God’s presence is not proven by the absence of shadows. God’s presence is proven by His faithfulness to walk with us through them.

The valley can distort your perspective. Shadows can feel threatening. Fear can whisper loudly. Weariness can make everything look darker than it really is. But even there, David declared the truth that steadied him: “You are with me.” Not “I feel strong.” Not “I understand everything.” Not “This does not hurt.” Not “I know how this ends.” Just this: “You are with me.”

That is valley warfare... It is learning to stand on the truth of God’s presence when your emotions cannot feel it clearly. It is choosing to believe that the Shepherd has not abandoned you just because the path has grown dark.The valley may be real. The shadows may be real. The fear may feel real. But God is more real still. And if He is with you, then the valley does not get the final word.

VALLEY WARFARE TRUTH: The valley becomes sacred ground when you remember: God is with me here.

NEW BLOG POST!

No one really talks about the grief that can come with obedience. Obedience is not always emotionally peaceful at first. Sometimes obedience grieves the flesh before it settles the soul. We talk about blessings, breakthroughs, open doors, answered prayers, and the peace that follows surrender.

VALLEY WARFARE: WHY THE BATTLE INTENSIFIES WHEN YOU ARE WEARY

Valley seasons are not random interruptions to your spiritual life. They are often built into the landscape of transformation. Scripture shows us that some of the deepest battles and greatest breakthroughs happen in low places, not on the mountaintops.
Why? Because the enemy understands something we often forget:
Fatigue creates spiritual vulnerability...

When your body is drained, your emotions are frayed, or your mind feels foggy, your inner defenses can feel thinner. Discernment becomes quieter. Hope feels heavier. Lies feel louder. But this does not mean you lack faith, it means you are human, and your humanity is not a disqualification from God’s strength. It is often the very place where He delights to reveal it.

A weary mind can become more vulnerable to accusation. Thoughts like “You’re failing,” “You’re alone,” “You should be stronger,” or “God must be disappointed in you” can feel convincing when your soul is tired. But those are accusations, not truth. God does not shame the weary. He strengthens them.

Isaiah 40:29 says, “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.”

So if you are weary today, do not mistake exhaustion for failure. Your weakness is not proof that you are losing the battle. It may be the very place where God is teaching you to stop fighting from your own strength and start standing in His.

Valley Warfare Truth:
When your strength is low, lies may feel louder — but God’s truth still stands.
