Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. The words we speak can bring us curses or blessings. 
Jesus puts it this way in Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
The words we speak, define our life and our future. Our words are the cornerstone of our lives. Situations, circumstances, and conditions are all subject to change, but with the support of our words we can establish them in our life forever. In Proverbs 18:21 God tells us death and life are in the power of the tongue. If we claim to be blessed & highly favored every day, then we are! But if we claim to be old, sick, broke, & disgusted, then we are! According to God’s Word what we believe and speak not only affects our body but our immune system as well. Our words can either be a blessing or a curse according to God’s word. The book of proverbs is the book of wisdom! It has 31 Chapters and if we would read one book of Proverbs each day we could have the whole book of Proverbs read in one month’s time. I was a truck driver for over 30 years and truck drivers have to do a pre-trip and a post–trip each day on their log sheets. We as Christians we need to do a pre-trip and a post–trip with our Bibles each and every day. There is 1189 Chapters in the Bible Do you know if we read three Chapters in the Bible each day we could read the entire Bible in just a little over a year’s time. What if we went one step farther in our walk with Jesus and read one Chapter in the book of Proverbs each day and added a couple of other Chapters from the Bible into our day. We would be adding a whole lot of wisdom, and a whole lot of food for our soul! We would find that we would become healthy Christians. Healthy Christians can be a big help not only to our family and friends, but we could also be a great help to others that we run into in our daily lives. Friends, if we will seek to know God on a personal level we will find that His divine wisdom is available to every believer through the Holy Spirit. Let us walk in the Spirit! If we will take the limits off and allow God to bring us to the next level there’s nothing impossible for God to accomplish through us! I encourage you, don’t settle for anything less than what God has planned for your life! 
Lord, I pray that you will give each person who reads this the desire and appetite to read your word each and every day. I pray Lord that you will help each one of us to “Walk in The Spirit.” Help us to be overcomers by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimonies. Give us the desire to share our testimonies with Whosoever, Whenever, Wherever! Lord help us to gain wisdom and knowledge that will help each one of us to grow into a better person. I pray that you will protect and help each one of the drivers on the road and their families and help each one of us to draw closer to you. Oh! Lord, help us to draw closer than we ever thought or dreamed possible. Lord I am praying you help each driver find a church or a Truckstop Chapel to park their Big Rigs at each week and let's have Church. And I know this much for sure, Jesus Loves you and we here at Lonesome Road Ministries, we love you too!

 Isaiah 41:9-11 (New Living Translation) I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying, 'You are my servant.' For I have chosen you and will not throw you away. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. "See, all your angry enemies lie there, confused and humiliated. Anyone who opposes you will die and come to nothing.    Have you ever read the Scriptures and it sounds like God’s voice is thundering in your ears. As I read these Scriptures In Isaiah 41 God was speaking to me. I believe God is guiding us once again to the next level in this ministry. We are ready to step out in faith and do what seems impossible in our eyes. But, all things are possible with God! God is calling each one of us who will hear His voice to do the impossible in our lives. He has chosen each and everyone of us to do something above and beyond what we think we are capable of doing. As I continued to read these Scriptures in Isaiah 41 God’s voice went from a booming thundering voice to a quite soothing voice when He says, “don’t be afraid, for I am with you!” He tells us He will strengthen and help us do the impossible task He is calling us to do. God says’ “He will hold us up with His victorious hand!” There is victory in Jesus, there is victory in our lives when we we take that step of faith. As I look back, it was August 13,1995, 30 years ago that I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ on I-39 driving down the road at 65 MPH. I cried out and He saved me and I haven’t slowed down. I have been running wide open in the hammer lane of life. As you know we have been doing ministry for God since October of 2000. That is when I started a cassette tape ministry called Lonesome Road Ministries.

Gary RayburnI logged over 4 million miles as a truck driver from 1972 - 2007 and I have written a lot of it in my songs. God has taken me off the road and put me into full time ministry, but I still have a heart for all you drivers out there. Archives
