FAITH AND CONFESSION : I gave one of the classic examples of the Bible on how words, has a profound effect upon people. In the classic example, the children of Israel, murmured against Moses and Aaron and even God. (Numbers 14:1 through 38). This is how people are acting today as though God said nothing. You have to remember, God never does anything without saying it first. That is God's method of the kingdom principles. CONFESSION OR LIE : but some get the idea that you are lying if you quote the promises of God when it has not yet happened to you. There is a difference between confessing and lying. Confession is saying what God said in His Word. Confession is agreeing with God. As you can see the children of Israel failed to agree with God. To lie would be to try to convince someone that you have it now when you really don't have it yet. If people hear you confessing. "My needs are met according to God's riches in glory," they are just hearing you quote what God said. They might get the idea that you just have a need, but you weren't trying to convince them that it was already true. You were agreeing with what God said, in order to get that divine energy to flow into you. The power to attain To the Promises Is in the Word itself. Every seed produces after its kind. THE SEED IS IN ITSELF : The law of Genesis, found in chapter 1, verse 11 and 12, reveals, "The seed is in itself" and everything produces after its own kind. When God promises to supply your need or Heal your body, the seed is in the promise itself. If you keep the Word of promise in your mouth and speak it, you sow this seed in the kingdom that is within you ! That's a kingdom principal. Jesus gives us some insight into this in (Luke 17). "And the apostles said unto the Lord, increase our faith. And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamine tree, be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. (Luke 17:5--6). If you had faith as a seed, you would say. You would speak to the sycamine tree--- to the problem area or the situation in your life. The tree He used as an object lesson was probably growing in the path they were walking. Jesus didn't say it would obey God. He said it would obey you. You Could Only Get That Kind of Faith from God's Word. He said it would obey you because the power of Binding and Loosing is on earth, not in heaven. It must come through you. You must mix faith with God's Word. He said if you had faith as a seed, is not the size of the mustard seed, it is the size in what you say is His point, you would say. The King James translation says that you "might" say, but the Greek says that you "would" say and it would obey you. It ---- the inanimate object----would obey you. HARVEST REQUIRES A PLANTING : He tells us to great faith secrets: 1. Faith works like a seed, and 2, the way to plan it is to say it. People who want to say something today and have the harvest tomorrow don't understand the law of seed time and harvest. Any farmer knows that if you are to have a harvest, you must plant seeds months before the harvest.
