Building Your World With Words 4

Lift our bibles up, wave them around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad.

Let's get into the Word of God and find out what our inheritance looks like.

Hallelujah, let the Holy Ghost reveal to us personally what belongs to us.

Let's say this together say, heavenly Father, we're so glad to be here, we rejoice in your presence this morning.

We come bold into the throne of grace to obtain, by faith, revelation, knowledge of what is ours.

That's all we want.

We want what Jesus bought and paid for, that has our name on it, and we believe we receive it today.

In Jesus' name you can be seated, and I'm gonna wrap up this series.

I've been sharing with you, building your World with Words, and sometimes it takes a little while to get everything out to where we can get everything, the way we need to live.

We used to.

Decades ago, people really mostly lived the church, lived on the mercy of God.

It's time for us to live by faith.

That's why we're designed to walk by faith and to live by faith.

David Hebrews, chapter 11, verse one, is our cornerstone scripture.

Hebrews 11 · chapter mention

Now, faith is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, and parenthesis would be as yet, for by it, that is, by faith, the elders obtained a good report.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen are not made of things which do appear.

And I've been telling you about the Barclay translation of verse three, and let's look at that one.

It is by faith we understand that the universe was constructed by the Word of God, for the scene had to take its origin from the unseen.

The scene had to take its origin from the unseen.

And then I like the amplified in verse three the worlds were framed, fashioned and put in order and equipped for their intended purpose by the Word of God.

If things are out of order in your life, you know the Word can get them back in order if you'll just start speaking it and believing it.

Amen.

And so we wanna go over some things before we get into today's last part of this message.

And I believe when you put them all together and the way to receive something like this, I mean it's a big bite to preach all of this at one time as we break it up in four weeks.

We've been preaching on it four weeks.

It's a series, so it takes you you know you do well to listen to the podcast or listen to the media and you know when you can and go back in week one, week two, week three, and I mean you really get this into your heart.

If it's not in your heart, you're not gonna get it.

I said, if it's not in your heart, if what you want is not down in your spirit, you will never get it.

People are still waiting for God to drop it on top of me.

Not gonna do it.

He's a faith God and he demands, he's giving us the raw materials for our faith, and so we have to build our faith and we have to build our world, amen.

So we began by discovering in Genesis, chapter one, you know, the authority of the believer was the weeks before this, two weeks.

On the authority of the believer, we talked about how it was in the beginning.

God made a man.

Just let's make a man just like us.

Let him have be masters of all of life.

And so then he talked about that, the crowning achievement of his creation.

But when you go back before he made man, he made.

It says this over and over God said and God saw.

God said let there be life.

God saw there was light, it was good.

God said God saw.

God said God saw Amen.

So sound comes before sight.

It's a spiritual law.

If you don't say it, it's never coming to pass.

If God hadn't said it, it never would have happened.

God spoke everything we have to speak.

Sound comes before sight, and so the whole kingdom.

Jesus said in Mark, chapter four in Mark, chapter four is probably one of the most important chapters in your entire Bible, because Jesus said this is the way the kingdom operates.

When you try to operate in the kingdom by the world standard, you'll never get anything.

You'll never receive what you.

Well, god's a meaning.

No, he's already provided it.

Let's get in line with.

This is what Jesus said to do.

We don't get to choose.

We get to choose whether to do it or not, but we can't have it our way, doing it our way.

So Jesus said the way the kingdom operates is as if a man sows a seed into the ground, sleeps and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up.

We know it's not how, for the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself.

What is the earth?

Your spirit, your spirit is what produces everything in your life.

I mean, your healing is not according to the doctor, your healing is not according to anything, except it's a spiritual gift.

It comes from the spirit realm, it starts in the spirit realm.

So the whole kingdom is based on this principle.

You plan a seed, sleep and rise night and day.

The seed should spring up.

We know it's not how Verse the blade, then the ear, then the full corn and the ear, and when it is ripe, immediately he puteth in the sickle.

Who puts in the sickle?

God?

No, the one that planted the seed, that's you.

You put in the sickle because the harvest has come.

You've got to really know in the spirit when your harvest is ripe, because putting in the sickle is what Words?

It's not actually getting the thing that you're talking about.

I mean that's what comes the very last you put in the sickle.

Ahead of that.

I mean you've got to stand a corn over here.

You've got, let's just say you've got 500 acres of corn and all those stalks are sticking up and there's what?

Four, five ears of corn on each one of those.

It's standing over there.

It doesn't do you any good.

Can you use it?

Can you do anything with it?

No, what do you got to do?

You got to put in the sickle, you got to go in there and cut all that out and you got to bring the corn in and all that process, the whole thing, and then you take it and you sell it and then now see, the last part is when you actually have the benefit of it.

So what do you do?

The putting in the sickle part is words.

Oh, thank God, I believe I've received that right now.

It's mine right now.

You start looking okay, it's right here, it's right here, all right.

So the whole kingdom operates on the seed sowing principle.

And then we talked about, in a week two, our identity.

There's a lot of identity theft being taken on right now.

The devil likes to steal people's identity and he stole them the identity of the church, because the church is weak on the word.

The word is not preached.

Psychology is preached, men's traditions are preached, you know, theories are preached.

Our nation's cemeteries I mean seminaries are turning out fools and they don't know what the word says.

They don't hear the word when they're in seminary and they don't get it.

And so you can't blame the church for being weak, because it's as weak as its preachers.

It's as weak as the pastors.

The pastors should be a teacher of the word.

You should come to church to hear what the word says, not somebody's opinion or not somebody's theory.

I like what Brother Hagin's definition of a theory.

A theory is a supposition based on ignorance of the subject under discussion.

I suppose you know supposition and assumption are two words of unbelief.

They will trap you, suppose, I suppose.

I suppose I assumed, I assumed you know.

A lot of times people just get caught in the supposition and the assumption game.

Listen, we can know.

We can know what the word says.

We can know what God's will is in any particular situation.

We don't have to assume anything.

Are you getting it All right?

So we talked about our identity and 130 times in the epistles it talks about in Christ, through Christ, with Christ, in whom, through whom?

If we don't get those into us, into your spirit, then you're most likely gonna look at yourself the way you look in the mirror.

When you look in the mirror you say, well, that's me, that's not you.

You've never seen you because you are a spirit.

You live in that body.

That body has cameras.

They're amazing.

They look at you and all that.

You look back in the mirror, but that's not you.

You is locked up inside that body and that spirit see.

That's you, that's the real you.

The only person seen it is God.

God looks on the spirit, he looks on the heart.

Everybody else in the world looks at you and they don't look at you.

They look at what's the outside.

That's all I can see.

I see the outside but, thank God, he looks on the inside, he looks on the heart.

So we've gotta know who we are in Christ, what we have in Christ, what we can do in Christ.

It's all in Christ.

The minute we got saved, we were baptized into Christ.

We were made one with Christ.

We're so one with him.

So we've got to know that and it's just not your head knowledge.

We've got to get it down in our spirit.

You have to be firm in your identity.

I mean you have to have an ID to fly.

You can't go fly anywhere without an ID.

You ought to have an ID to vote.

How stupid is that?

To let people vote without an ID?

Somebody's pet rabbit votes and somebody's dog and cat votes and some dead person votes and some non-existent person votes.

Somebody's identity that was stolen from you.

Know, tim Buck, two votes.

I mean it's crazy.

No, you need an ID.

Amen, and your voice is your address in the spirit realm.

If you don't say anything, god doesn't even know where to deliver the package.

I mean, how would you try?

You know Amazon.

Where's Amazon date?

Okay, where's the address?

I don't know.

I mean, you're going to get the package with no address UPS is trying to find.

Well, there's no address on this order.

Where do we send it?

Well, I'll just put it here, you know?

No, your address is your voice.

That's your address in the spirit realm.

You've got to speak, you've got to say something, amen.

And so then, last week we talked about Isaiah 55, right thinking produces right speaking.

His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, ways than his ways, or his ways and our ways.

And that doesn't mean they're impossible.

It means that we have to look to the word to find out what God's thoughts are.

These are God's thoughts right here.

So lying your thinking up with those thoughts.

When you're thinking wrong, when you're thinking about the natural, when you're thinking about what's wrong, when you're thinking about what the devil said to you, when you're thinking about how offended you are about somebody's treatment, you know, like what Brother Hagin said, when you're thinking about how mistreated you are, the devil is at the door.

You're tempted in your love walk.

You got to get rid of those kind of thoughts.

That kind of thinking will lead you, and I've seen it over and over and over again.

I mean, I'm human flesh, my flesh is human, so it wants to get offended.

I have to make it shut up.

It's easy.

I mean, you know, you walk around and just all well, they didn't treat me with any kind of honor, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I went to a meeting one time where people knew us and said that we were pastors and they had pastors.

I always ask for pastor seating.

I like to sit up front.

I don't like to sit in the back, it's not a matter of pride, I just like, if I can, I'll get there early enough to get a seat up front.

But then they had reserves seating for full time, for glad it's not full time, pastors, we're going to this meeting, we're participating with it, we're giving in the offering.

And they placed us on the last row of the reserve section and I just started to laugh and see I could have been offended.

I could have been offended, you know.

But no, I just started laughing.

I said, devil, you're the stupidest thing.

You think this is going to offend me, I'll go sit.

I'll get up from here and go sit all the way in the back.

I don't care, I'll receive wherever I am in the room.

The fact they did.

She looked at me, looked at Gladys pastor's wife, looked at us both, saw who we were and put us on the sixth row.

Well, thank you.

And I just laughed.

And some other people that are not in the ministry, they're wannabes, and I know that they're wannabes, they're never even been ordained, that I know of and they're on the fourth row.

See how the devil works.

So I could have got all.

I could have got all ginned up.

I could have got all mad.

I could have, you know, I could have huffed and puffed and huffed my way out of the.

Well, I'll just shake the dust of my feet off.

No, I received in that meeting, praise God.

So your flesh doesn't your flesh can be offended.

I mean, when you start thinking that way, the devil's knocking on your door.

He's trying to steal from you.

I don't know who this is for, but it's for all of us maybe.

And then last week we talked about sending the word.

We can we send emails, we send texts.

We can send the word to our body, our mind, our circumstances.

So today I wanna wrap this up and give you some more out of Mark, chapter four, if you'll turn there please, because these, as I said, this is one of the most important chapters in the Bible, because Jesus told the parable of the so or so is the word, and he teaches us how to have success when we do, because he talks about the crop failures.

Don't you love Jesus?

He shows you what happens when you fail, and one of the main things that we discovered when we were talking about this chapter earlier in week two was that the three you had four cases where the so or so is the word.

These believers, they believed the word, they sowed it.

They, every one of them, sowed it.

They had seed in, you know, in the ground.

Now, it's true, the first one didn't have it in the ground, it was just on the surface.

The second one had it in stony ground.

The third one had it in ground, but then they let some other things in and so all three of them had a crop failure.

And when we examined the crop failure, it was because they didn't have a systematic discourse.

When you say something, you got to say it more than just one time.

You've got to have a systematic discourse.

What are you continually saying about what it is that you want?

Are you going to say it once?

Well, it's just likely going to get stolen.

It's not planted.

And if you're going to say it a couple of times and then say something against it a time or two, and then say something that you want and then you say something against it the next time inconsistency see, you're going to wind up with a crop failure.

You're not going to get what it is that you're believing for.

You might genuinely be believing for it and you might be genuinely speaking the word, but you don't do it on a systematic discourse.

It has to be the same, it has to be the same continually.

Then that way, it's not only planting but it's watering what you've already planted.

Are you with me now?

Everybody say systematic discourse.

You know, in 35 years of ministry, that's what I see In my own life, in the life of most Christians that I'm ministering to, is a lack of systematic discourse.

When I look back on my life and some of the business failures and some of the other types of things that I didn't succeed in, you know, I can really identify a lack of systematic discourse.

Where does that word come from?

It comes from Mark 11, 23, where it says believe one time and say, or some form of say, three times.

And two of the three form of saying in Mark 11, 23 is the Greek word epo, which just means to say.

It means to command, and the second one is Lego, which means systematic discourse.

It means to keep on saying.

And again, you've got to mix faith with what you're saying.

You can't just pie in the sky.

You've got to have faith in your heart and speak with your mouth.

That's the way the whole kingdom operates, right, All right.

So today, in Mark, chapter four, let's look at it again.

And Jesus is giving them this amazing parable.

And he goes on to say in verse 23, if any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said unto them take heed, what you hear.

With what measure you meet.

It shall be measured to you and unto you that here shall more be given.

What in the world does that mean?

Well, we'll get to it in a minute.

For he that hath to him shall be given, and he that hath not from him shall be taken, even that which he has.

So and then he goes on the next verse we've already studied.

He tells you how the whole kingdom operates.

Now these verses are a little bit in the King James, a little bit dark, a little bit hard to quite put together.

You know you're kind of gonna get lost in some of the heaths and hath and the devil and hath and all of that.

So we're gonna break it down, try to give you what Jesus is saying here.

First of all, he said if any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Well, say ears.

He's not talking about these ears, he's not talking about those big things on the side of your head.

He's talking about your spiritual ears.

He's talking, you know, your spirit has five senses, just like your body does, and you can hear.

And if you don't hear with your spirit, you can't get any faith.

See again, it's spirit, it's revelation.

He's talking about revelation of the Word and that's a function of the Holy Ghost revealing to your spirit a truth.

Sometimes people hear me speaking and they can hear me speaking, speaking, speaking, and it goes in one ear and out the other.

It never goes down in their heart.

That's why I have to preach things over and over and finally sometimes people say, oh, that's what he meant.

How many of you have ever had that experience where you've heard something over and over and all of a sudden bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, yotsie and I know y'all are so spiritual you never play Yotsie.

It's kind of like poker, only with dice.

Anyway, my Baptist cousin couldn't even play 52 pickup.

I mean, the cards were the devil.

You couldn't play cards.

It's a devil, Can't play it.

All right, glad is cheated at UNO.

One time won a whole tournament.

She did her way through UNO.

Don't ever play UNO with Glad if she was delivered from that religious spirit and she wants to win at all costs.

So take heed, take heed.

He says If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

But take heed, be careful what you hear, what you hear yourself say, be careful what you hear yourself say.

See, that means be careful what you say, because you hear yourself say everything, don't you?

I said, you hear yourself say everything and it's been proven scientifically that you hear yourself say at a level that can't be matched you can listen to a cassette tape or a CD, or you can listen to something on television, or you can even listen to preaching and you can listen to something on television, or you can even listen to preaching, and it's got value.

And, yes, it can go down in your spirit, but nothing takes the place of you saying it, because when you say it there is a connection that goes right down into your spirit, right?

So take heed, be careful, be conscious of what you hear yourself say.

Okay, with what measure you measure it?

It shall be measured to you.

In other words, when words are cheap, results are cheap.

When you don't pay any attention, you don't take a time to honor God's Word and speak it forth on a regular with a systemic, systematic discourse.

See, you didn't measure it outright, you didn't treasure it.

This is a treasure that we've been given.

The apostles didn't have a Bible.

They had the Torah.

That's it.

They didn't have all this.

They didn't have all this, this tools.

They didn't have an iPhone with every kind of translation and every kind of different one on there.

We have been given such a gift we can.

We've got concordances now.

I used to have, I've still got it, but I never use it to concord the guy.

That thing weighs a hundred pounds.

It's huge, little tiny print.

Usually I don't need glasses to read, but when I read that thing, I got to have a magnifying glass.

We've been given the tools, see, let's treasure that.

With what measure you meant, it shall be measured back to you.

And you honor the Word and you thirst for the Word and you want to make sure you say what the Word says.

With the same measure that you measured out, it'll be measured back to you.

And to you that hear shall more be given.

And to you that hear, see, if you've got ears to hear and we're talking about your spiritual ears and now you've got your ears tuned to what is God saying to me?

You read your Bible.

You don't just, you know, drift off into never, never land.

You're searching what is God saying.

This is what God's saying to you right here.

You pick up your Bible.

This is what he's talking to you about.

Now, all the Bible is for you, but not all of it is to you.

That's why you need the Holy Ghost to show what part is to you.

Sometimes Jesus here is talking to Jewish people.

He came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and a lot of times he's talking to Pharisees.

So he has his harshest words for the religious crowd.

So if you read those words and think he's talking to you, well then you can kind of be condemnable.

You know that's not right.

You need to know a little bit about why I'm teaching you so you don't.

You know read.

That really is all Old Testament.

He hadn't died on the cross yet.

So we look at the Bible a different way.

No, he died for me.

I'm one of the redeemed of the Lord.

He's got something reserved for me and sometimes he can extract, by the Holy Ghost, and extract a verse, half of a verse, and all of a sudden you know he is talking to you.

That's yours, that's yours.

Are you with me now?

And when that happens, you know what and you act on it.

Guess what?

He's gonna give you some more.

He's gonna give you some more.

Why?

Because he saw that you valued it.

You acted on it.

You didn't wait for him to ride it across the sky in the clouds.

You've got a rammer word.

Is this helping anybody this morning, to those who hear the word and sow it and agree with it and say it shall more be given.

Shall more be given.

Verse 25, for he that hath to him shall be given, okay.

That's kind of weird.

To him that has, shall more be given.

Okay, has has what?

The word he that hath heard, he that hath heard Heard is the understood verb in verse 25.

So let's read it with the understanding of the verb that the King James left out.

This is Jesus speaking For he that hath heard the word, to him shall be given more and he shall have.

And he that hath not heard, he that's understood.

You didn't hear why?

Because you're dull of hearing, because you didn't measure it, you didn't value it.

You're walking through life.

You don't even read your Bible much.

You don't even.

You just kind of come to church when you feel like it See, there's a lot of people like there's a whole lot of people don't even go to church anymore and they don't read their Bible.

Guess where they're headed?

They're headed to trouble.

This is not the time Now.

It's the other way.

We need to get more involved with this word.

We get to be more involved corporately as we see the day approaching and the days approaching.

For he that hath not heard from him shall be taken even that which he has.

By who?

Who's gonna take it?

God, no, god's not the thief.

Who's the thief?

God's not the thief.

From him shall be taken even that which he has.

So let's go back over here now.

Let's back up to one of the crop failures.

I like this last one.

You know, you had the stolen word, the scorched word and the strangled word.

That's what I say.

And then you have the safeguarded word, which is the last one that brings forth fruit, some 30, some 60, some 100.

So let's go back up here, where it says here in verse 18.

These are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the word, say you heard, you had ears to hear and you heard it.

You heard the reama All right, you're, hey, you're in line for a crop, you're in line for success.

Now you heard the word.

A lot of people don't even hear it.

These people had ears to hear, they heard something, but they had a crop fager.

So he goes on to tell you they're sown among thorns.

Where are the thorns?

I said where are the thorns?

They're in your heart, because that's where you sow them.

You sow them in the heart.

The thorns are there, the thorns?

What are the thorns?

He tells you what they are.

What are the thorns?

He says.

And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the word and the cares of the world, the seatfulness of riches and the lust or desire for other things besides kingdom.

Things Enter in where the heart.

How did they enter into the heart?

Words, seed.

Are y'all getting this?

Now you need to put this together.

Enter in and it choke at the word and it becomeeth unfruitful.

It was on its way to a abundant harvest.

It was on its way, but you sowed what?

The cares of this world?

With words.

Oh, I'm so worried.

I'm worried about my child.

They're just not serving God.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Oh, that's cares of this world.

Instead of praying, you're worrying.

Cares of this world, oh, I just don't know what I'm gonna do about that.

Taxes, I mean taxes are due in a couple of weeks.

I don't have the money.

I don't know what we're.

What's that Thorns?

It's gonna choke.

You're undoing whatever you did speak about it previously.

It's gonna choke out.

It's on its way.

It's actually growing.

You've got a crop that's in transit, so to speak, and the storms are gonna choke it out and it's not gonna come to pass.

Is this helping anybody?

Oh, glory to God, we've got the remedy for this thing, got the remedy for it.

And so the seafulness of riches.

I mean just getting all.

God doesn't mind.

In fact he calls you rich.

But riches can be deceitful in the sense that you can trust in them and just talk all about them all the time and that's all you talk about.

All you talk about is your bank account and your investments.

All you're talking about we have to pay attention.

We have to be good stewards of all that we have.

You have to be good stewards of all your investments.

If you've got 401Ks or whatever, you've got to manage anything.

You've got to manage your bank account.

You've got to balance your checkbook.

You've got to take care of it.

That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about people that are just obsessed with their money.

The seafulness of riches, inner end chokes, the word Wrong priorities.

They're real big on saving and not much on sowing.

When it comes time to tie this, they round the tie.

They don't round the, they don't.

They have the tie all the way up to five decimal places.

Well, my tie this week is $106.47.

What's wrong with $110?

I mean, would that kill you if you just made it $110, round it off, where we don't have to write 47 cents, where we don't have to type five more numbers into the record.

I'm speaking to somebody probably hey, hey, is that how you measure it?

You want God to do that with you?

Is that how you want him?

Okay, oh no, oh no, let's move the decimal point back this other way.

So those who hear the word and sow it shall more word be given.

Word is what seed and what is seed.

Seed is eligible for multiplication.

This is where everything starts to increase.

Everything increases.

Your health increases, your finances increase, your peace increases, I mean your household, goodness increases.

Everything is just increases, instead of the trouble increasing.

Amen.

You can get on the wrong side of that rule.

So the multiplication factor 2 Corinthians 9-10,.

God gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, and he multiplies the seed that you sow.

There's a multiplication factor when you hear the word and value it and agree with it and speak it and sow it down into your heart with a systematic discourse and you start acting like the word is true and you start thanking God.

See, that's water.

You're watering the word that you planted.

When you thank him, but head of any kind of evidence that anything's changed, what changed?

Well, you planted it.

I mean, if a farmer, what kind of a farmer would you be if you went out there and planted 1,000 acres of sorghum and then you were depressed because you couldn't tell anything?

I mean, there was nothing out there but dirt for a long time.

Finally, one day, the little green thing start sticking up.

But in between, oh, I was so worried that wasn't gonna come up.

No, he knew it was coming up.

He tested the soil.

He knew the soil was had moisture in it.

He's scientific about it.

He knew exactly how to prepare that ground and what to do with it before he ever planted the seed.

Are y'all with me now?

Amen, no, he's got patience.

He knows that at a certain time that sorghum's coming up, 120 days, whatever, however long it is.

I don't know how long it is, I've not a sorghum farmer, but around Refuria, where I grew up, they had tens of thousands I don't know, maybe a million acres of it.

Drive through it every day going to work and just amazing, I mean they just out there and when it's harvest time they've got trucks.

They got trucks and they've got combine harvesters out there running 24-7 until that.

Because why?

Well, one field is ripe, so they're working in that field while the other one is getting ripe and when they finish that field, they move right across the road and get in that field and get that one harvested, and then they moved to the one over there and then they moved to the one over there.

They had it all planned out.

Are you planning that?

Are you planning?

Are you systematic discourse?

Are you speaking for your health?

Are you speaking for your finances?

Are you speaking for your loved ones?

Hallelujah, like that word we had this morning.

You know what?

We're standing on this precipice and we're not looking down at how great the fall is.

We're looking out and by the spirit, we see what God has prepared for us and it's glorious, it's greater than we've ever thought.

That's what I'm speaking, that's what I'm speaking in.

So it amen, everybody say my greatest days are ahead of me.

But if you don't hear what God's word, if you don't hear what God's word is and you don't sow it it's not sown in your heart then he will take away whatever results you had.

Not, he won't, but the devil will.

He'll steal everything.

Yeah, I mean, it's like for some Christians, and I've observed nobody here this morning don't think I'm talking about you, but I've seen people just go three steps forward and four steps back.

Three steps forward and 10 steps back.

You know why?

Well, there's no consistency.

There's no consistency in what they're saying.

There's no consistency in what they're believing.

They believe the circumstances more than they do the word and they talk about it.

Crop failure, everybody say crop failure.

Now I wanted to get into something real briefly here, because we do pray for people.

We pray for when people have needs.

You know it's valuable to pray and to have a church to agree with you in prayer.

But really honestly, we stand and our once we get the word of God and we have a level of maturity.

It's not about how many people are praying for you.

You gotta get out of that.

That's a bad habit.

When you're a baby Christian, you need a lot of help.

You see these nature films and mama brings you know, in nature.

They, you know, here's a big old African will to beast man.

Those things are huge, will to beast.

And they have a little calf, you know, and they mama just nuzzles it and it's, you know, drinking milk and it's just weak and everything.

And here's the lion over here and mama's not a whole lot of help when the lion shows up.

She just can't really protect that little thing much, but there are cases where the herd will.

The herd will get around the little one and you know they got those horns and they can hook a lion and kill a lion or wound one where it will die, and so they'll protect that little one.

So our little ones need help, they need a church, they need people to encourage them and you know you can with your faith.

You can believe for baby Christians, especially your family.

You can get your family healed one time, maximum twice, on your faith.

But after that God expects them to trust him.

He expects them.

If God's ever done anything for anybody, then he expects them the next time to stand a little bit.

And that's what happens in nature.

I mean, these little guys have to get strong enough to run themselves away from the, you know, and if they don't, they don't make it.

So I wanted to cover this because it it's kind of people are going to heaven.

Something's happening, isn't it?

I said something's happening.

People are going to heaven at an accelerated rate.

Something's shaking.

God's on the march, god's on the move.

It's not all the devil, but at anyway, getting back to this spiritual law and operation, these spiritual laws that Jesus talked about.

So we pray for our loved ones, we pray for people, we pray for people in the church.

I'm never going to quit praying for people that are fighting a battle.

I'm going to pray in tongues, I'm going to agree with them.

We're going to stand with them, hold their arms up.

You know, when you're fighting a long battle with certain diseases, it takes a lot out of you.

You need a lot of people around you.

It's not like you're believing and you're the only one they're believing, but you're believing with them.

See, there's power in that.

I'm not talking about not doing that.

Yeah, we are doing that.

But then, on the other hand, you know, you've got a situation where Brother Hagin, years ago he had a Sunday when he was pastored.

He had a Sunday school superintendent, young man with several kids, wife at home.

He got injured on the job.

He was mortally wounded.

Really, they thought he was going to die.

He was just back in those days.

They didn't have ICU, but they had him in the hospital and he was just near death and doing all they could for him.

I think it was a head injury.

He was really, really bad shape, didn't look like he'd make it.

Brother Hagin went over there and prayed, walked up and down the hallway and the way he prayed, he interceded.

He said now, god, this man is a blessing to my church.

He's my Sunday school superintendent.

He's the best under his leadership.

This is the best Sunday school I've ever had in any church that I've ever passed.

We've got more people coming, more people are getting discipled.

He is the best thing.

I need him and if I need him, you need him.

I want him healed.

And beside all that, lord, if he leaves and goes to heaven, the weight of his family is going to fall on this church.

We've got a young widow now that she's going to have to have help and those children are going to have to have food.

That's going to fall on the church.

It's going to be hard and I need him to live and if I need him, you need him.

See what is he doing?

He's interceding and pleading the case for his Sunday school superintendent.

Does that superintendent have faith?

Well, yeah, he got faith, but he's in a coma.

What can he say?

Nothing.

He can't speak.

So, yeah, that's when you really need somebody to get in there and know what the will of God is.

And Brother Hagin is saying look, I need him.

If I need him, you need him.

See, we're one with Christ.

That's what intercession is getting in the way.

And so he did recover.

And a few months later he came to church, his first service back, and Brother Hagin had him come up and give a testimony.

He said well, I went to heaven, I was there, I saw Jesus.

I was so happy.

I just oh.

And Jesus said you got to go back, I don't want to go back.

Now, this is a husband, this is a father, this is a Sunday school.

He's got a life down here that he's vital.

And he's a young man, he's 35 or something.

I don't want to go back.

It's another thing we need to get straight.

I don't want to go back.

Don't take it so personal.

That's home and that's where he was home.

Jesus said you got to go back, I don't want to go back.

And he said well, come over here.

And he, somehow, he just kind of looked down and saw Brother Hagin walking up and down the hallway praying, like that.

He said he won't let you come.

Glory to God, I got to send you back.

Oh, glory to come on, lift your hand right now.

You don't think it matters to have a pastor.

And so years later, oritha, brother Hagin's wife, her father, mr Rooker, was a Methodist man and he was kind of a ring-tailed tutor, as we used to say, little bit of a rounder.

He was Christian but I mean, he didn't always live that close to the Lord and for a period of time, right before he got sick and was in the hospital dying, well, he had turned around and started repenting and started living better and with no longer backslidden.

So he's in the hospital dying in a coma, and Oritha had come and another sister had come.

They hadn't been able to talk to him since he got so sick, and now he's in a coma and he can't talk and they're weeping at his bedside.

And so Brother Hagin went out in the hallway because he had had success pleading the case of his Sunday school superintendent.

So he starts pleading the case of Mr Rooker.

He said now, lord, mr Rooker here, and he starts down the road.

And the Lord says now, wait just a minute, wait just a minute before you go down that road.

And so the Lord pleaded his case.

He said you know, mr Rooker, he hadn't always lived for me, no, but last six months he's done a whole lot better.

Yeah, that's right.

He said there's never gonna be a better time for him to come to heaven.

If he comes to heaven now, he'll have an abundant entrance.

If he had come to heaven six months ago, it wouldn't have been the case.

He'd come to heaven, but he wouldn't have had an abundant entrance.

The Bible talks about having and having an abundant entrance.

There are crowns of glory, there are crowns of righteousness, there are eternal rewards that can either be gained or lost.

Yeah, yeah, we're saved.

Do you wanna go to heaven by the skin of your teeth and have a pup tent on the far side of the?

I don't know about you.

I want my mansion.

I don't want all the accoutrements Jesus paid for him.

Why not live for God?

So the Lord pled his case that you know now's the time.

In other words, don't get in the way, don't, don't, don't get in the way, don't, don't get in the way of him coming.

He'll have an abundant entrance.

He said all right Lord, all right Lord, in this case, on this, on this, on this case, in this, this case only.

It's the only way I'll agree.

This condition, this condition and this condition only.

I'll agree with you.

Whoo, now there's another, there's another place of knowing your identity, knowing you're standing.

We're not.

God's not a puppet master, he's not up there.

You know operating some kind of a machine that make you go here and make you go there.

You know he can be, he can be pled with, he can be talked to, he can be negotiated with in some cases.

So Brother Hagin is a negotiating right now on behalf of his father-in-law and on behalf of his wife, and his job is to keep his wife happy.

His wife is not going to be happy with him dying without even being able to say goodbye.

He said I'll agree with this on this condition, this condition only that he open his eyes and be able to talk to my wife and her sister and be able to say his goodbyes to the family.

And while he's out in the hallway getting that covered up, mr Rooker's eyes just flap, opened up, smiled, loved on his daughters, kissed them.

They got to say their loving things and their goodbyes.

And Brother Hagin came around and took his hand and he said well, ken, I'm going to heaven.

He said, well, lean back and let her rip.

And he leaned back and went to heaven.

Boom, just like that, with a smile on his face.

Oh, come on, let's praise God this morning.

What in the world does this have to do?

Well, I'm going to get to the third thing, because it's worth it.

So, later on in life and I was around for this one and I'm not going to say the person's name that he was praying for, but it was a person that he was relatively close to, and the person got cancer and the person was in a hospital and nothing had worked and had lost a lot of weight, and he was just looking like he was going to die.

And so Brother Hagin got to pray in the way he prays Now, this is a guy that's mature and he hadn't been conscious I mean, it's not like he just got caught, like the father-in-law did but so he started to plead the case of his friend, and the Lord stopped him and said this to Brother Hagin there is a spiritual law in operation, there are spiritual laws in place which cannot be changed at this time.

Now, the Lord didn't tattle on this person, he didn't tell him any details, he didn't tell him where he you know what was the cause, though Brother Hagin knew.

But simply, there are spiritual laws in place that cannot be changed at this time.

What we're talking about this morning are spiritual laws.

Of words that you speak, you can get to a place where nobody can change what you've said in motion.

Brother Hagin couldn't change what this person said in motion with his words and his actions.

They were unchangeable.

They were already in motion.

They couldn't be changed.

See what resulted?

Well, premature death.

Well, you know, 10,000 years from now, 10,000 times 10,000 years from now, nobody's going to remember where somebody went to heaven earlier on time or late.

Well, late what's late.

I could have gone to heaven six years ago.

But I'm here.

God reset my clock and I'm glad I'm here, and I want to stay as long as I can.

I want to say and do the things that are contributing to longevity and age.

But just because somebody doesn't quite live to be 70 or 80 or 90 or 100, just because they might go to heaven at 50 or 60.

I mean, you know, that doesn't make them second class citizens.

You know, sometimes we can't change things because spiritual laws are in place.

It can't be changed at this time.

That's talking about other people.

Anything can be changed in your case.

We're the ones.

We're the ones.

What we say matters about us, can't always change over here, but we can always change.

Amen.

Are you getting anything out of this?

Build your world with your words.

You know you can either build it up or tear it down.

We've made that point over and over.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

James 3 says that you can set your life on fire with your tongue, with your words.

So let's get our tongue hooked up with our faith.

Number one the three things.

Number one don't talk, fear and doubt.

Don't talk, fear and doubt.

This is a real simple little saying Doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs.

Doubt your doubts.

A doubt can come in anybody's mind.

It's just because it came into your mind doesn't mean anything.

Oh, I doubt that devil.

I doubt that.

I doubt that thought.

You're going to die.

I doubt that I'm going to live and not die to declare the works of the Lord.

This is going to come back on you.

The second no, it's not ever coming back on me.

Doubt your doubts.

Believe your beliefs.

How do you do it with your mouth?

Speak it.

In Mark four, the same chapter, jesus has preached this amazing message that we've taken four weeks.

He took an afternoon and he said let's pass over to the other side.

He got in the boat and he was tired from all that day's activity and he went back in the back of the boat and laid down and went to sleep.

And they got out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and there was a big storm in the water and the boat started taking on water.

Well, they're fishermen.

How many storms have you been through?

You're doofus.

It's just amazing, isn't it?

These are fishermen, they've been out there her whole life and yet they're all afraid and they go and wake up.

Jesus, master, master, can you rest down?

Not that we perish.

You know, god can't even let him have a nap.

He already spoke the word.

He didn't say let us go out there in the middle and die.

He said let's pass over.

They couldn't take His word and just use it.

No, they just had it all there and then they just it all disappeared.

So on on stony ground.

I guess Devil stole every bit of it.

Master, carry us down, out that we perish.

What did he say?

He said why are you fearful?

How is it that you have no faith?

He didn't give him a hug, he was aggravated.

Black of faith always aggravates and anger is God.

He doesn't act on it, but it does.

Do you want to please Him or do you want to aggravate Him?

See, let's believe the word, the doubt you doubts.

Believe your beliefs.

Number two don't talk sickness, talk health.

Now, these are very simple.

You're not going to believe the word.

You're not going to believe the word.

Now, these are very simple.

But it's so easy, because everybody talks sickness and you're on the television.

All they've got is ad after ad for drugs that are so expensive that you'd have to hawk your entire life just to buy a month's supply of them.

And they've got every kind of remedy for every kind of thing.

And then you read the fine print of all the side effects.

You know this will take care of your arthritis, but your left toe will rot off and fall.

Talking sickness gives the devil an open door to hurt you.

I know you've heard it over and over, but I mean, let's just quit glorifying the devil and talking about our pains and sufferings and troubles and stuff like that.

Let's train our mouth.

We were healed, get your tenses straight.

Now you're denying it.

You're saying he's gonna, when he already did it.

So you're already way off.

You're 180 degrees out of phase with words.

Says say you got to get your tenses straight.

The tenses are past 10.

He's already done the finished work of redemption.

He's not gonna redeem you, he has redeemed you.

So get your tenses straight, he's gonna redeem you, he's gonna redeem you.

He's gonna redeem you, he's gonna redeem you, he's gonna redeem you, he's gonna redeem you, he's gonna redeem you.

And that goes along with the world too.

I mean, I believe I see I have to keep up what's happening in the world.

I don't like it.

I don't like what I see.

I don't like that they've trumped up a trump charge, made it up out of thin air.

There's no crime.

There's nothing been done wrong.

So that's not what this is about.

It's about not just Trump, but all conservative Christians are under attack.

They wanna make it illegal for us to believe what we believe and say it that's what they want.

They're not gonna rest till they get it.

Well, I guess what?

While we're here, it ain't happening.

That's the spirit of antichrist.

God gave us power over it.

So when we endlessly talk about the problem all the time say you gotta be, have a balance of no one.

What's going on?

Don't be in the off street, stick your head in the sand, act like you, don't you know.

But let's not just baptize ourself and immerse ourself in the trouble all the time.

Let's come back out and realize God's still sitting on the throne.

Jesus is there, we're in him.

We've got something to say about it.

When we say things, it matters.

When we vote, it matters.

Don't ever say it doesn't matter to vote, I'm never voting.

That doesn't.

See, you're wrong.

That's a sin.

What you're saying is a sin Well, but they've stole this.

They did that.

Well, I don't care what they did.

What we do is what we have the right to do, see, and when we do that, there's power in that.

Anyway, that's for somebody.

And then don't talk lack Quit saying I can't afford it.

You know I make decisions all the time about things that I'm not willing to pay the price for.

But it's not about I saw a little outfit for Gladys.

I said I'm not willing to pay the price for that.

That's my problem.

I'm willing to pay.

Too much is what it is.

But there's, I have a supply.

My God takes care of me in grand style.

I mean all my desires, you know he meets them all Needs and desires.

People say, oh, this is your knee, I'm not willing to pay the price for that.

I'm not willing to pay the price for that Needs and desires.

People say, oh, this is your knee, it's not your design.

Well, how dull is that.

God is not like that.

He's not a sweatshop foreman Grants.

Everybody say grand style.

See, I mean, I don't care, you don't like designer shoes, I like designer shoes.

I'm willing to spend a little more money on them.

They're not Tom McCann's, they're not, you know, pay less shoes.

You don't find these at pay less.

I don't care whether you like them or not, I like them.

See, I don't wear them for you, I wear them for me.

Every time I wear one of these shoes, I just remind the devil see, you'll never steal from me again.

You did.

He had me down to one pair of shoes with holes in the bottom.

I remember that.

I hated that.

I don't like that.

I'm never having it happen again.

Per adventure, if I got a hole in one of these, I'd just throw them away and go to the next pair in the closet and pull them out.

Are y'all with me now?

Don't talk lack.

Talk abundance and train your vocabulary.

Praise God.

Let's lift our hands and receive, building your world with words.

Praise God.

I just believe that God gave you what he needed to give you this morning, hallelujah.

Come on, let's thank him right now.

Lord, we thank you this morning, hallelujah.

We've got great days ahead of us.

These are days of opportunity.

Praise God.
