Raymonda to speak
about income
equality at FUUF
On Sunday, June 11, from
10 to 11 a.m., at the Flo-
rence Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship, guest speaker
John Raymonda will deliver
a message titled: “Income
Inequality and the Need for a
Living Wage
for All
Workers.”
“The
United
States
Government reports about
15 percent of all people and
over 20 percent of all
children currently live in
‘poverty,’ as poverty is
defined by the Government
Poverty Level (GPL),” said
Raymonda.
The goal of this work is to
convince business, and the
many economists who will
disagree, that a living wage is
also good for business.
The UU Fellowship, 87738
Highway 101 at Heceta
Beach Road, is wheelchair
accessible.
Each service concludes
with refreshments and a dia-
logue circle to explore the
questions that come up dur-
ing each service.

You are what you speak and do
I remember when my
grandson, who was three
years old at the time, got
ahold of a sheet of paper that
had pictures of me on it, and
he decorated it with all sorts
of colorful stickers. When he
came over to my house to sur-
prise me with it, I couldn’t
help but notice that in just
about every picture, there was
a sticker over my mouth.
I thought: Well, God, are
You trying to tell me some-
thing?
It actually made me pay
attention to the way I was
talking. And that’s something
we all should do, because
there is no part of us that’s
harder to control than the
mouth.
The Bible says that no man
can tame the tongue (see
James 3:8). But that doesn’t
mean we can never improve
the way we speak.
We just need to partner with
God to bring about the change
we want to see.

The words we say are so
important
because
they
impact the anointing of the
Holy Spirit — that is, the
power and presence of God —
in our lives.
The power of God is the
most precious thing we have,
and it’s something we need to
know how to protect.
One of the ways we can do
damage to God’s anointing is
by speaking with a mixture of
faith and doubt.
When we say a few posi-
tive, faith-filled words here,
and a few negative, doubtful
words there, it weakens God’s
anointing on our lives.
If we want to have God’s
power working in us and
through us on a daily basis,
then we have to be in agree-
ment with God, not just part
of the time, but all of the time.
Protecting God’s power in
your life
Without the anointing,
everything is hard. And that’s
not what God wants for us.
Jesus said, “My yoke is easy
[to bear] and My burden is
light” (see Matthew 11:30,
AMP).

God will never ask us to do
anything without giving us
the ability to do it, and He has
equipped us with everything
we need to live a powerful,
victorious life. Acts 1:8 (NIV)
says, “You will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes
on you; and you will be my
witnesses… to the ends of the
earth.”
Let’s make this practical.
Here are a few ways you can
use words to protect God’s
anointing on your life:
Don’t judge other people. If
you want God’s anointing to
be on you for parenting, you
need to be careful not to criti-
cize other parents.
Don’t complain.
The Israelites wasted 40
years murmuring and com-
plaining in the wilderness,
when they could have just
obeyed God and entered into
their Promised Land a lot
sooner.
Don’t ask God for someone
else’s anointing or to be like
them. Embrace the abilities
He has given to YOU.
Pay attention to what you
are saying
Think for a moment how
your words could be affecting
your life right now.
How do you talk about
yourself, your present circum-
stances and your future?
When you talk with your
friends, what kinds of things
are you talking about?
Ask God to help you form a
habit of speaking positive
words of faith every day.
Words like, “I love my life
and I have a great future. I can
do whatever I need to do
through Christ who strength-
ens me. And something good
is going to happen to me and
through me today!”
Even when you’re strug-
gling to believe it, say it any-
way.
Because your words have
the power to change your
mind and your attitude when
they agree with the truth in
God’s Word.
You’ll also find that you
have the joy and peace that
come through simply believ-
ing the promises of God.
Don’t let words
block your blessings
In Luke 1, God sent the
angel Gabriel to tell Zacharias
that he and his wife,
Elizabeth, would have a son
who would be anointed to be
the forerunner of the Messiah.
Zacharias should have been
so excited! But rather than
believe the good news, he
questioned the promise. So
God supernaturally shut his
mouth until the day his son
was born.
Have you ever let your
words create a barrier against
God’s blessings in your life? I
certainly have.
Thankfully, we can change
that when we decide to
change our words.
If you want to live in the
fullness of God's anointing,
fill your mouth with His
Word. Don’t just carelessly
speak what you think or feel
or what other people say.
You can have the promises
of God fulfilled in your life if
you will learn to come into
agreement with Him, do what
He tells you to do, and say
what He says.
Spirituali-Tea explores
health related topics
On Monday, June 12, at
6:30 p.m., at 875 Seventh
Street, everyone is invited to
join a group from varied spir-
itual paths to discuss health.
The Baha’i Writings say;
“You should not neglect yor
health, but consider it the
means which enables you to
serve. It — the body — is like
a horse which carries the per-
sonality and spirit, and as
such should be well cared for
so it can do its work. You
should certainly safeguard
your nerves, and force your-
self to take time, and not only
for prayer meditation, but for
real rest and relaxation.”
Bring your thoughts on the
subject for open discussion.
The gathering will end at 8
p.m. with prayers for the
requests left in the Prayer
Pole in the garden of the
Florence Playhouse and those
shared by the group.
For more information, call
Suzanne Mann-Heintz at 541-
590-0779.
