I want to share with you some dynamic truths about God's Word and if you grab a hold of these truths by applying them everyday, on a regular basis, you will be amazed at how your life will change.
Here we go!
For long life read and study the following scriptures: (All scriptures were taken from the NIV)
Psalm 34:12 "Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days; keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies."
Psalm 128:5-6 "May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem and may you live to see your children's children."
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
Proverbs 3:1-2 "My son do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity."
Proverbs 4:10 "Listen, my son, accept what I say and the years of your life will be many."
So you can see that it is God's desire for you to have a long life and you can also see that you have a responsibility. You have keep your tongue from evil, in other words stop saying evil things and telling lies; and when you do, repent and keep it going. It takes a while to break old habits, but if you mediate on God's promises of long life, your spirit will begin to be quicken when you fall short and say something evil. Proverbs 3:1-2 tells us not to forget his teaching and to keep them in your heart, your spirit man. Again, daily meditation on the Word of God comes into play here as well. The more you study or read your Bible, the more your spirit becomes alive to God's Word and when you fall short, the Holy Spirit will let you know that you have fallen short of God's command. Ask for forgiveness and keep it going.
I think I've said enough for now, so do study these scriptures, begin to stand on them, begin to apply them and wait eagerly for God's awesome love and power move in your life.
Praise the Lord!
