Sid: My guest Dr. Cindy Trimm and we’re talking about “The Soul Fast Kit.” And fasting is not of food; what is the fasting aspect Dr. Trimm?
Cindy: It is removing the things in our lives that prevent us from hearing God; living life on purpose and for being able to fulfill our assignment in this earth realm as His earthly representative.
Sid: Now you teach on the power of words; how important are words?
Cindy: Words are so important when I read the scriptures out of the book of Numbers how the children of Israel ended up 40 years wandering around the wilderness I thought that God arbitrarily just said “Okay you’ve been naughty and I’m going to send you in the wilderness for 40 years.” But there was a direct correlation because God said “For each day that you mumbled and grumbled and complained and released negativity out of your mouth you will have to wander around in the wilderness for a year. And so for me it was almost like God was saying that for every day that you speak negatively and grumble and complain you potentially are creating the consequences of wandering around in the wilderness for an entire year. That’s a year for every day that we grumble and complain; so there is a direct correlation between what happens in our lives and what comes out of our mouths. Even scripture supports that. The Bible said that “By faith we understand the worlds were framed by the word of God.” When you look at a picture; frame a picture you can either add value to that picture, or you could devalue the picture by the framing. And our words that we are speaking are either adding value to our lives or it’s devaluing our lives. Someone once said that words are containers and I said that words are so very powerful that the words that we speak are exactly like Jesus said “They are spirit and they are life.” Scripture says “Thou shall decree a thing and it shall be established. Life and death is in the power of the tongue any that loves it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Words that we speak even though we don’t see it they don’t disappear; they don’t dissipate; words have power, presence, prophetic implications and no time or space or geographical limitations. And how do we know that; because people are still rehearsing some hurtful words that was said to them by people that they don’t even interact with nowadays and 40 years ago someone might have said something and people still feel the impact of the words. And it was a Centurion that said to Jesus, “You don’t have to come to my house; send your word only and my servant will be healed.” Scripture says that “God sent His word and healed us.” Our words are very powerful containers and we have to be careful of what we are speaking even over our lives; over our marriages; over our communities. God is very specific, He said “First of all prayers should be prayed over our leadership, those that are in authority and whether we like the party or not whether we like it or whether the president is Republican or Democratic watch what you are saying over your leaders. Scriptures says even over your enemies you should bless them and curse not. Why? Because in order to curse someone that curse has to flow through you first; it flows through your mouth first. And so we have to be careful what is coming out of our mouths because I really believe that there is a correlation between what’s happening in our future and what we speak about in our presence. And many things that are happening to us I think are self-fulfilled prophecy.
Sid: But you know a lot of people understand to a degree what you’re teaching right now, but they just can’t stop themselves from talking this negativity. How do they stop?
Cindy: They can stop by using the word of God; the Bible calls it the profession of our faith or the confession of our faith. We need to begin to make faith confessions and the way that we do that is very simple; God said to Joshua in Joshua chapter 1 verses 8 to 9 and it had a lot to do with his success and his prosperity. He said “This book of the law shall not pass from out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night. Meditation if internal dialog and confession is external; what you say out of your mouth. So what you think is just as important as what you speak because what you think affects your speech. And so God says “Mediate on His word day and night for you will make your way prosperous and you will have good success.” And so our success and prosperity is in direct correlation of what we think and what we speak, “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” So we have to watch our words so that we can change our lives. Could things be the way they are because we are the way we are, and what one thing we can change that can change everything. We could change the way that we think about our lives and speak about our lives; and if we do so we can change the way we live our lives.
Sid: Dr. Trimm I believe that if you pray for people right now with just this little teaching they’ve had they’ll stop this negativity. Because it’s really it’s out of control soul not submitting to the word of God.
Cindy: Yes, yes and I’d love the pray. Our Father we give you praise and we asked that You would give us the ability to understand how important our words are and the discipline to begin to study to show ourselves approved unto You; workman that needed not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of God. I pray Father that through the power of the Holy Spirit You would give us the ability to harness our thoughts and bring those thoughts into the proper alignment with the word. And where we are just capriciously using words without an understanding of the ramifications of that word give us the prompting on a day to day basis. Father allow us to understand how important our words are. And to really love Your word and love Your law and give us the discipline to desire it on a day to day basis. Let us discipline our lives like we eat the natural food on a day to day basis 3 meals a day; let us study Your word on a daily basis so that Father we will be transformed inside out. That it will be transferred at the level of our thoughts and then the level of our words and then it will be walked out in our day to day living. We would see our words being impacted by what we say to others and how we treat others. Bless us indeed and bless us with the discipline in this season in Jesus Name, Amen.
Sid: Amen, now you talk about something that I don’t hear much about; you talk about the power of doing, explain.
Cindy: Right, the Bible says “Faith without works is dead.” And there’s one thing to read the scripture and believe the scripture but it’s another thing to apply it. And once we are able to see the word of God has relevance in our day to day living; from everything from making decisions concerning businesses to being able to select the right relationships; who we marry, where we go, how we spend our money. The Bible has a solution to every kind of problem, every kind of situation; in fact the book of Proverbs speaks about wisdom. Wisdom goes beyond just information; wisdom takes information and applies it to our everyday situation. If we would but take the time to read the word of God and make it a part of our daily life just like no one would think about getting up and going back and forth from work without taking a shower. We would not think about getting up in the morning and not spending time and having our personal devotion to allow the Holy Spirit to speak to us through the word of God so that He can give us the power and the riches and the wisdom and the might to be able to live a blessed life.
Sid: Cindy, give me an example in your life of how God’s spoken to you through the word.
Cindy: I believe that as we go through the scripture one of the things we can look at is how practical the word of God is. And even out of the book of Proverbs it’s easy to do that. Proverbs is 31 chapters and there is approximately 30 to 31 days in the month. And what I do is I read a Proverbs a day and what I found out is that Proverb for that day in that particular month always gives me solutions to a particular problem or insight as to what I need to do for that day.
Sid: Well Solomon allegedly the smartest man who ever lived so I think it pays to listen to a chapter a day of Proverbs…
