MEMORY VERSE: The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the earth, and God's Spirit was moving over the water.3 God said, "I command light to shine!" And light started shining (Gen 1: 2, 3) TEXT: Gen 1: 1-3: Rom 4: 17; Heb 11: 3
INTRODUCTION: God spoke first then it became a reality (Gen 1: 3). God spoke the Word first, then His acts of creation came into being (Rom 4: 17).
YOU SPEAK THEN REALITY COMES ( Mark 11: 23; 3 John 2); Begin to talk not the way things are but the way you would like them to be. You speak then you possess.
Mark 11:23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says NKJV
2 Cor 4:13 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, NIV. So, it is believing first of all in our heart then speaking forth what we believe. God’s Word is life (John 6: 63). The Word of God is living and active ( Heb 4: 12).
JESUS DID ALL WITH WORDS:
It was the Father’s Word in Jesus’ lips that brought life to the dead, healing to the sick, perfect limbs to the maimed, food for the hungry, sight for the blind, and deliverance to many. Nowhere in the Scriptures did Jesus claim to be original, that the words He speaks are original. “
John 12:49-50 NIV 49 For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say." Now He has given to us His Words. It is a problem of utilizing what He has given to us. We have the words that have healing, that have salvation, that have deliverance, that have joy, etc. We have the words that will build faith into the discouraged, strength into the weak, hope into the heart of the hopeless, and deliverance for those who are being held in captivity. Those words have been given to us. We can use them. Let them become living things in your lips.
His Words in our lips will perform the same kind of miracles that the Father’s Word s did in Jesus’ lips.
TRAIN YOUR LIPS OR DISCIPLINE YOUR LIPS :1 Tim 4:7rather, train yourself to be godly. NIV 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death Rev 12:11 NKJV
SAY IT OUT LOUD. SAY IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Tle Lord is my Shepherd. The Lord is my light and Salvation. He is supplying my needs.Don’t forget the devil hears your testimony too. Let your testimony be in harmony with God’s Word. In every situation and circumstances let your testimony be that of God’s word. Allow the statements of the Bible to sink deeply into your life that when you decree things, you will have those things established in your life. Speak words that harmonize with the Scriptures.
Never be negative. Don’t imprison yourself with negations and I can’t’s. Col 3:16 Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness AMPDiscipline your lips never to speak negative words. Holding fast your confession of God’s Word makes impossibilities become realities. Stop talking the language of doubt and unbelief. Decree right things , the things of God’s Word nd wonderful things will be establish unto you..
RECOGNIZE THE GOOD THINGS IN YOU: Philem 6-76 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. NKJV CONCLUSION: Faith refuses to acknowledge feelings or sight of the eyes. It stands squarely upon what God has spoken and refuses to listen to any other voice.
