Oral Roberts use to have a saying that he used on his TV show.  He would look straight into the camera, point at it, and say “Something good is going to happen to you;” there is also a song that says that.  I adopted that phrase, every morning I say, “Something good is going to happen to me.”  And, ya know, it’s never failed.  Something good always happens to me; the meaning of something is that God controls the what, I don’t.

​

Now, the opposite of that phrase is “Nothing good…” or “Something bad is going to happen to you.”  Now, why would anyone, anyone with any sense at all, want something bad or nothing good?

​

With every conversation I have a closing remark; I would close by saying, “No worries,” and, no, I’m not Australian.  One time I said that while on the phone, just before I hung up I said, “No worries.”  The guy called back and scolded me, “You have no right to tell me no worries.”

​

I simply asked him, “Would you rather me tell you to worry.”  That’s what you’re saying when you say ‘take care.’  You might not know it but that’s what you’re saying, and I don’t want to worry.  So, “No worries.”

​

He got the point and thanked me for clearing it up.  Ya see, one of the definitions of the word care is worry; and unbeknownst to you the devil wants you to say and agree with ‘take care’ because God doesn’t want you to worry.  You may not have known it but now you do.   That’s why when someone says to me, “Take care” I never say “Okay;” I just reply, “No worries.”

​

Ya know, opposites go deeper into the word of God and living for God.  I’m talking about your words, a very important subject. When a person spreads bad news it seems to travel faster than warp 10.  But bad news is like a cancer, it kills and rots.
