"'Truth-Talk'" is a powerful tool given to mankind by God. It is the doctrine of Jesus stated in Mark 4:2 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine. The prime doctrine is the sower sows the word. This morning I was reading the bible in Isaiah 55:11. It tells us why our words, what we speak and think, are so vital in who we become. Below are listed many versions of Isaiah 55:11.

(KJV) So shall my words be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shal not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

(Basic) ...it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that which I have sent it.

(TLB) ...so also is my Word. I sent it out and it always produces fruit.

(Young) So is My Word that goeth out of my mouth. It turned not back with the empty, But hath done that which I desired. And prosperously effected that for which I sent it.

(Knox) So it is with the Word by these lips of mine once uttered: ut wukk it cine back, an empty echo, the way it went, all my will it carries out, speeds on its errand.

(NAB) ...achieving the end for which I sent it.

(Jer) ...so the word that goes from my mouth does not return to me empty, without carrying out my will and succeeding in what it was sent to do.

(Leeser) ...it shal not return unto me without effect.

SMUSH A Rainbow Walk

This is a really fun SMUSH activity. The instructions are simple. Take a walk, and look for something red, orange, yellow, green blue, and purple. Keep going through the colors, in order, until the end of your walk.

You can do this anywhere with friends and family, at any time of the year. Obviously, it will be easier to spot a lot of different colors now that it is Spring. But winter you might notice some bright red berries or a red ski hat, or even a stop sign.
Things you might bring on your walk:

Bring a camera or cell phone and take pictures of at least one image with each color.

Bring a sketchbook. This will help you really focus on what you are looking at.

After the walk, discuss what different people noticed. (For example, one person may have noticed mostly flowers, while another person noticed mostly cars.)

Here’s a rainbow photo we liked. How many colors can you find?

There is no doubt that problems come to everyone in this life. All of us face trials, test and troubles. But it is God’s will for us to resist these problems by the power of His Word. God’s will is that His angels deliver us. Psalm 91: 11-12 KJV says that He gives His angels charge over us: In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. If this is God’s will, then why do so many Christians experience failure?



There are three links in the chain of failure: wrong sowing (speaking), wrong thinking, and wrong praying. You are what you are not because of your experiences in life, but because of what you think and believe about your experiences. Many Christians feel sorry for themselves and are wallowing in self- pity. They think God is against them when actually they are harvesting the seeds they have sown. That kind of thinking leaves the door wide open to the devil. So many Christians use what happened to Job as their excuse. They say, “But look what God did to Job!” What did God do to Job? He gave Job twice what he had before. It was the devil that stole from Job, not God. Job had sown the seed of fear and received the rightful harvest. Stay tune for part tune…
