THE POWER OF WORDS

THE POWER OF WORDS

Your words can be both deadly and cruel.Be careful with the use; and conveyance thereof.

Know this: words do not simply sound cause by air passing through the larynx, to the tongue and lips.

They { the words}possess real power. As a reference, when reading the Book of Genesis in the old testament Bible. God uses words to speak into existence everything within the totality of the Universe. All done with the power of his words. And we as humans are made in his image and have a connection to the Power of His words within us.

Words has an enormity of capacities such as:

~words do more than convey information of Insights & Intel

~ The power of words can actually destroy a person spirit

~Words can stir up hatred and violence

~Words not only exacerbate wounds, directly but inflict lasting brokenness and wounded-ness

Humans beings are the only creatures in the earthly realm who possess the ability to communicate through the 'spoken word'

In certain biblical passages in the book of Proverbs-it reveals that our words have the power to 'Destroy' and the power to 'Build-Up'. It further foretells that the tongue has the power of both life and Death

Questions to consider on the daily journey of life:

~Are we using words to build up others or are we using words that tends to destroy?

~Are our words filled with hate, bitterness or is it Love?

~What about complaints, or is it compliments or blessings?

~What is this..is it. Lust or Love-Defeat of Victory?

Moreover, it is a must to strive for a positive 'front-of-mind-consciousness'-to possess the tools, not to send one spiraling into stress and/or depression, but rather tools to be used for helping self, and others for high levels of goals, ambitions, and aspirations to reach 'Full Potential of Life '

Furthermore, the good book shares that every person will have to give in an account of; on the day of judgment; for every careless word they have spoken in the earthly sojourn. For by your words, you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned. Bear in mind, words are so important, that we must not use them to denigrate, disrespect, bash, put down or even make the attempt to destroy the dignity and/or respect of others. If we do there shall be consequences.. 

A good school of thought is to always strive to emphasize the positive over the negative. The best insight and Intel is to not let any unwholesome words come out of your mouths. Only ascribe to the words that areto helpful to build up others according to their needs and shall be a benefit to all who take the time to listen at the positive 'utterances of your words'.

• Reducing the stressors that adversely affect your health

• The Big Bonus: ‘It Promotes Better Sleep’

Since I have participated in, and had privy to an upfront and close VA Sleep Study, which made known to me that approximately 70 million Americans suffer from the problem of chronic sleep dis-order. The study revealed that if you’re not getting the recommended 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, then it is imperative to consider finding ways to improve both your qualitative and quantitative amount of sleep needed each night, in order to perform and function properly and adequately

It is important to Be Aware that the culprit known as ‘Stress’ has the propensity to inhibit your ability to unwind at the end of each day, which will not allow you to have the worthwhile benefit of restful sleep nights.

SOUGHT AFTER ROUTINE & FOCUS ON LIFESTYLE CHANGE TOWARD FINDING THOSE WAYS

Careful mindful thoughts toward seeking & finding ways to reduce your ‘stress’ at night, which can serve to improve your sleep quality. A certain consideration might be the discovery of such nighttime stress-relievers that you can easily incorporate into your nightly routine, such as:

• To Do some Yoga exercise routines 

• Take to the action of doing a series of deep breathing exercises

• Also to take a warm aromatherapy bath {Epsom salt, Aloe Vera, Lavender & Vanilla and/or Refresh hydrating body wash}

In conclusion, Remember He is our only Choice, our only Hope, and He is our only ‘Source’ Ask and Seek, in His name and you shall surely Find His Provisions, His Protection, and the Faithfulness Forth Coming for your life. Bishop Steve Braxton, sbrax57@gmail.com

NIGHT SWEATS........

What exactly are the causes of “Night Sweats”?

During those occasions when you happen to wake up late at night or early morning drenched in wet sweat. No doubt the bedroom is not hot, you’re not sleeping under a blanket or any heavy covers. 

However, the ‘uncommon truth’ is there is no one thing that can be pinpointed or pinned down as the exact cause. According to ‘The  Annuals of Family  Medicine. Just about 1/3 of primary care patients reports night sweats over several months during the year. But most of the sufferers haven’t the slightest idea of the symptoms or the causes to share with their respective doctors, in order, to ascertain the proper treatment for the night sweats.

After that said, there have been a few common causes that have been uncovered and/or discovered.

The uncovered discovery revealed that the body uses sweat to reduce the core temperature when it spikes above a threshold known as ‘the thermoneutral zone. The Journal of American Board of Family Medicine shares that several factors increase the likelihood of night sweats such as:

• Panic attacks-Sleep problems-fever-and  numbness

• Inflammation and numbness in hands and feet

• Even Anxiety and stress-and trouble breathing at night

• Side effects of medications-including Selective Serotonin Inhibitors {SSRIs}commonly prescribed for depression.

In addition, hormones can also play a role in why night sweats. While men do not experience night sweats as often as women, they can sometimes by low testosterone levels, which is commonly called ‘male hypogonadism.

Also according to the Mayo Clinic, other potential causes include excessive alcohol and substance abuse usage. The Mayo Clinic further states it can be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a type of cancer, especially if the night sweats occur regularly every night and seem to appear out of nowhere. Finally, some folks have begun to report night sweats as a symptom of COVID-19, a new variant that has recently popped up.

How To reduce Night Sweats

The best strategic approach is to treat whatever underlying condition that’s causing the night sweats. Also make a conscious effort to:

• Sleep in breathable clothing and avoid heavy blankets

• Avoid eating spicy foods before going to bed

• Also your doctor may prescribe an alpha-adrenergic blocker per  Dr. Mold of The Journal of American Board Of Family Medicine

 BEING THANKFUL-WITH A FOCUS ON THANKFULNESS 

IS A MINDFUL THOUGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS 

IT IS A PREEMINENT STATE OF AN ULTIMATE MINDSET

WHEN WE GIVE THANKS-GOD GIVES US AS HUMANS MORE TO BE THANKFUL FOR

AND WHEN WE THANK GOD-WE ACKNOWLEDGE & REVERENCE HIM

~FOR WHO HE IS, AS WELL AS, FOR WHAT HE DOES, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO

 WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL TO OTHERS SUCH AS FAMILY & FRIENDS

~AND FOR THE SOVEREIGNTY AND POWER OF AUTHORITY

WHAT DOES THE BIBLICAL CONNOTATION & REVELATION SAY ABOUT BEING THANKFUL-THANKFULNESS & GRATITUDE?

Mat 25:40, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch, as you have done it to one of the least of these, you have done it to me”

1 Thess 5:16-18, Be Joyful always, never cease praying, No matter what happens; Keep Thanking God, In The Name of Jesus, This is exactly what God wants us to do”

Being A “Thankful Person’, means that one is aware of:

• God’s work in the World

• His work in the Church and the Family

• And IN Our Own Life-As We Express Gratitude & Appreciation to HIM

MAKING A BETTER INFORMED DECISION REGARDING THE UNDERSTANDING OF “THANKFULNESS & GRATITUDE”

THANKFULNESS IS MORE DIRECT THAN GRATITUDE IT GIVES YOU A SPECIAL FEELING ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS:

• HELPED YOU WITH A WORK PROJECT

• A FAMILY MEMBER WHO MAY HAVE GIVEN YOU A  NICE GIFT FOR XMAS

• OR A FRIEND WHO LISTENED TO YOU ABOUT VENTING  YOUR WORRIES ABOUT OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES IN LIFE

• IT IS BOTH PRUDENT AND WISE TO ALWAYS BE THANKFUL WHEN OTHERS GO OUT OF THERE TO:

• GIVE YOU A BREAK AND GENERALLY MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR YOU, ME THUS ‘US’

WHEN WE PRACTICE THE BENEFITS OF “GRATITUDE”

• IT GIVES GREATER LIFE SATISFACTION

• IMPROVES HEALTH-IMPROVES RELATIONSHIPS

• EHHNACES PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL & MENTAL WELL-BEING

• KEEPS THE MIND AND BODY STRONG

• IT HELPS TO UTILIZE POSITIVE COPING STRATEGIES TO BETTER DEAL WITH STRESS-WHICH CAN BE A KILLER WHEN NOT MANAGED EFFECTIVELY 

• IT HELPS TO BETTER SEEK & DISCOVER “INNER PEACE”

• ALLOWS ONE TO BE GENTLE, EXPRESS KINDNESS AND EMBRACE FORGIVENESS, LIVE VALUES, AND PROMOTE PEACE

 Midterm Elections Nov 08, 2022, In America

The Inevitable “Red Wave” touted by the Republicans was heralded and pontificated as the election of all times, which would literally devastate the Democrats during this particular midterm. The narrative utterance reasons being touted and proclaimed was that the voters cared more about:

• Riveting Inflation

• Potential Recession of the Economy 

• High Gas Prices 

This was according to the leaders of the Republicans and also proclaimed by conservative broadcast media hosts and pundits

Albeit abound across the landscape of America was the concern and the clarion call of Pro-choice populists due to the supreme courts overturning of Roe V. Wade. And also chatter of key Republications who were to dismantle  Social Security recipients, which did not sit well  with retired seniors across America

However, as the midterm began to happen, and unfold, and when the final results were in, they were far from the inevitable overall touted and proclaimed “Red Wave’ put forth by the Republicans

The Republicans, because of their disconnect and being out of touch with We The People, were too busy pointing the finger of shame and blame at President Joe Biden. This is sort of maddening because the Biden Administration was actually trying to pass legislation but the Republicans blocked most of it. And then had the audacity to complain about the Biden Presidency being ineffective 

The truth of the matter, those same Republicans should have been taking a close look at the former President Trump's behavioral attitude and leadership tactics that he left behind that President Biden has to put back in proper order.

Some of Trump’s Inept leadership that raged out of control:

• He lied about the pandemic COVID-19 as it flew off the chain 

• He repeatedly broke with protocol  because he dis-avoid the rule of law-thinking he was above it

• He used political campaign funds to pay off a Porn Star that he had an affair with

• He was impeached twice by the US Congress, even though the US Senate failed to convict him, in their heart of hearts knew that he was guilty-but yet the US Senate gave him a pass

• He wreck alliances that were centuries which made the US look bad in the eyes of other foreign leaders

• His cozying up behavior to certain dictators of foreign countries is an embarrassment to behold

• He implemented tariffs on the Country of China for goods and services-thinking that the Chinese would pay for it, even though he was repeatedly told it was not the way tariffs worked-but he did it anyway

• He took the U.S. Out of the Paris Accords due to his ineptness in the totality of any understanding and comprehension of what it really meant

• He took the US away from the watchful agreement with Iran, which now because of the absence of the oversight of the US Iran produces Nuclear Weapons-which is a danger to the world 

• He incited a crowd while speaking at a rally-the crowd became a mob and insurrection that stormed and attack the US Capital al on Jan 6, to prevent certification of the election and the traditional transfer of power between presidents. He ultimately left the White  ultimately left the White without attending the traditional ceremony for the transfer of leadership between outgoing and incoming US Presidents

Other Alarming Actions During Trump’s Presidency

  

~Nomination of three ultra-conservative Supreme Court, justices    

~Tried Repealing the Affordable Care Act numerous times 

`Passed tax cuts for the very wealthy-himself included benefitted 

~Illicit behavioral relationships with  dictators that undermined our allies abroad

~He attacked journalists as ‘enemies of the people”

~Created the Big Lie, in order, not to concede the election that was won by President Joe Biden
