FAITH and Confession--Life and Death in Words Word Power !

FAITH and CONFESSION--LIFE and DEATH in WORDS: WORD POWER ! The apostle Paul understood that the word conceived inside of him and spoken out of his mouth actually set the cornerstones of his life. When I first saw some of these kingdom principles, and knew they were true-- for they are in the Bible, and I begin to practice them to find out would this work. In my teaching of these kingdom principles. I had made this statement: "God's word that is conceived in the heart, formed with the tongue and spoken out of the mouth becomes a spiritual force, releasing the ability of God. But I didn't know why this was true. Now, over a period of years, I have found that it's true, and why it works. WHY GOD'S METHOD WORKS: when you find out why it works, then it does make a difference in your attitude and in your life. Why use creative power, that releasing inside you the ability of God when you speak God's word out of your mouth? This is essentially what God told Joshua back under The Old Covenant. "This book of the law shall not depart out of the mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success (Joshua 1:8). Do you want to make your way prosperous? Do you want to know a key, the secret of being successful in life? It is to do exactly what God told Joshua to do. Put the Word of God in your mouth. When it gets in the heart in abundance your mouth will speak! (Romans 10:8-9-10). "But what saith it? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the Word of faith, which we preach (Speak): that if thou shalt confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." But let me share with you why these kingdom principles are so important. The words you speak are more important to you then to anyone else. The reason your words are so important to you is that they affect you more than they affect anyone else. The individual who is cursing someone, using God's name in vain, is not hurting that person, but he or she is hurting their self. They are actually going to bring damnation on their self by speaking those curses. EARS TO HEAR: when you heard yourself on a tape recorder or a microphone for the first time, you said, "who is that? That couldn't be me. Oh, no, that's not me." But that's how others have been hearing you all the time. That is exactly the way you sound. God created you with two sets of ears--- not just an ear on each side of your head. You have an outer ear and an inner ear. The inner ear is made up of a bone structure inside your outer Ear. The inner ear feeds your voice directly into the human spirit--- which is referred to as the heart. the words you speak are more important than the words that someone else speaks to you or against you. The words you speak affect your whole being as well as other in spiritual terms and physical terms. Medical research has discovered that the parts of the brain which controls human speech is connected to every nerve of the body. The words you speak about yourself can even affect your health. For years, people didn't understand it. Even now as I teach along these lines people are still having problems with it. There is some connection between what you say and what happens to you in life. Jesus knew that five thousand years ago. He said that a man will have whatever he says, if he will believe and doubt not in his heart; if he believes what he says will come to pass. (Mark 9:23; 11:23-24). Now let's put this together and point out what we are talking about here regarding words. In the beginning God spoke, "Light be!" When light was not there. God Saw Darkness but He said, "Light." I know what you are thinking, "that's God! But wasn't you and me created in the image and his own likeness. The human spirit has to be re-created by the Holy Ghost. "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever." This is God's method. This is not man's method. But We Just Follow along after God with His method. When God saw Something That Didn't Agree with His will, He spoke the thing desired. If it had been some of us, we would have probably said, "WOW, it's dark out there. I believe it's getting darker." But God is smarter than that. When He said, "Light," then that is exactly what came. Have you ever wondered why it is impossible for God to lie? It is because God releases sufficient faith in every Word, He has spoken to cause it to come to pass. WHY JESUS HAD GREAT FAITH: have you ever wondered why Jesus had such great faith? Jesus had great faith because He spoke only that which He heard His Father say. So, who are your imitating? And faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. "And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, had one that judges him: the words that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself, but the father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the father said unto me, so I speak." (John 12:47--50) Jesus Spoke the Words of His Father. Now, whose words are you speaking? words cause faith are fear to come. the Faith that is in God's Word supposed to gets into your spirit when you speak them. The Bible didn't say that faith comes by reading, it didn't say that it comes by praying, it didn't say it comes by fasting. It says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). In order to hear something, it must be spoken. Have you ever heard someone say pray in silence? Well, that's not biblical. It's more powerful when you hear it spoken out of your mouth because you like what you say more than you like what anyone else says. That is the way God designed every human being. The words you speak affect you more than anyone else. You can get some faith by hearing me speak the Word of God. But faith will come to you more quickly if you speak it out of your mouth. That's why God told Joshua, "Keep my words in your mouth day and night." In other words, "keep saying what I said." I have heard the Lord tell me that many times, "say what I say." When Satan came against Jesus, tempting Him in the wilderness, Jesus responded by speaking only what His Father said, "It is written. . . "(Matthew 4:4-7 through 10). This is how you get highly developed in the God kind of faith.
