Transcript
-
Hallelujah.
-
Let's lift our Bibles up, wave them around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad.
-
Say this together.
-
Say, heavenly Father, I'm thankful for the Word of God.
-
I'm taking hold of the Word because the Word took hold of me first and I'm changing.
-
I'm making adjustments in my life.
-
I'm seeing positive results because I see that that's what you want for my life.
-
In Jesus' name, amen.
-
Hebrews, chapter 11, you can be seated.
Hebrews 11 chapter mention
-
Hebrews 11 will read we're teaching a series on building your world with words.
-
And this is my third message, and we got one more next week.
-
We'll wrap it up, hopefully.
-
Hebrews 11, verse one.
-
Now, faith is a substance of things.
-
Hope for the evidence of things not seen 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 were not made of things which do appear.
-
Now we've been reading the first three in the Barclay translation.
-
I think it's so clear.
-
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, of course, the amplified says it this way that the worlds were framed, fashioned, put in order.
-
Things out of order in your life, things confused, things all messed up.
-
Listen to the Word of put it back in order, put in order and equipped for its intended purpose by the Word of God, hallelujah, and so building your world with words.
-
Now we have been.
-
Now this is our third week.
-
We've discovered some truths that we need to hold on to going forward.
-
In the book of Genesis, the creation account, we discovered that God said and God saw.
-
God said and God saw.
-
God said and God saw.
-
I'm telling you, saying sound comes before sight.
-
If you're not going to say it, you're not going to see it.
-
Plus, you have to believe in your heart.
-
What you're saying will come to pass.
-
See how that aligns up with Mark 11, 23.
-
I mean, you know the Bible and I'm teaching these from different standpoints because I found that the summit or the top of the mountain can be attained.
-
You don't have to just climb the mountain one single way.
-
It can come up on one side of the mountain and come up another side of the mountain, and then sometimes you can come up there four or five or six different ways.
-
The thing about the authority of the believer and building your world with words.
-
It's all through the Bible, it's not just in Hebrews.
-
You know, sometimes people, you know, I see I see these so-called prophets on on social media and on the internet the call what we're saying about the word of faith a cult.
-
Well, they don't know what they're talking about.
-
They don't even know what the definition of a cult are.
-
They're the ones that are most susceptible to following a cult leader because they're faulty in their knowledge of the word.
-
All they have are theories.
-
You know, we don't preach theories, amen.
-
So the whole kingdom is based on words.
-
I mean, that's what Jesus said.
-
I didn't say it.
-
He said Mark, chapter four, verse 26,.
-
After he had gave the parable, we discovered the parable of the so or so with the word.
-
We find four different people who sowed the word.
-
They heard the word and they sowed it, but three out of four had a crop failure.
-
So it matters.
-
You know it matters.
-
These are principles that Jesus taught and he said the whole kingdom operates on the seed sowing principle.
-
So you know how many of you want a crop failure.
-
Is it fun to have a crop failure.
-
I'm speaking that from a guy that's had a lot of crop failures in my life.
-
Jesus always says amen on that one.
-
I mean, you know, wouldn't it be enough to go broke in business once?
-
I went broke twice, really three times, if you really added all up.
-
I hate to say it, but what was it?
-
Well, I just did an incomplete execution of what I knew to be.
-
The truth Doesn't do any good to know it here.
-
You got to get it down in here and then you got to do it.
-
You got to be a doer of it.
-
Amen.
-
So when you plant a seed, what happens to it?
-
It becomes invisible, you don't see it anymore.
-
You took it out of the seed pouch and you put it in the ground and you covered it over, hopefully.
-
And then, hopefully, the ground was had enough moisture in it for the seed to germinate.
-
They call that the former rain in the Bible.
-
Former rain was necessary for the Israel to get a crop.
-
They had to have the former rain at the proper time.
-
Not too much, boy.
-
If you had too much rain then it would be too sloppy out there and muddy, then they couldn't really plant because it's mud.
-
Just enough rain to soften the ground and to have residual moisture so that the seed, the little seed that's planted maybe it's an inch deep or whatever it's got enough moisture there for that seed then to shoot, to have shoots downward and shoots upward.
-
I mean it's growing in both directions, but if you don't have that residual moisture it's not going to grow at all.
-
Well, where did they get the moisture from?
-
Obey in God, god would send the rain, say.
-
We're going to talk about that this morning, about sending the rain, and then you know, when it springs up, finally you realize, hey, it's in there, because it's there, licey as shoot.
-
You know you sleep and rise night and day and the seed should spring up.
-
We know not how.
-
See, we're not, they're not scientific.
-
I mean, they don't know all about crop science, seed, all of that.
-
They just know it works, they know it by repetition.
-
A daddy did that, a grandpa did that and now they're doing it.
-
First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear, and when the harvest is ripe, immediately he put it in the sickle.
-
This is Jesus talking.
-
Who's the he that puts in the sickle?
-
The one that did the planting?
-
You put in the sickle, for the harvest has come.
-
That's the whole, isn't that?
-
The whole reason to plant is to get a harvest.
-
And so we've got to plant that seed.
-
We've got to see it before we say it.
-
The scene gets its origin from the unseen.
-
And so and then last week we talked about our identity, your voice is your address in the spirit realm.
-
Since you're planting in the spirit realm, this is spiritual.
-
You're planting that seed which is spiritual.
-
The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life.
-
Jesus said, and when you plant that spiritual seed in your spirit, that's the ground.
-
Talks about the four kinds of ground in Mark, chapter four.
-
And we discovered that a lot of people are lacking in their consistency of what they're sowing.
-
They only say it one time.
-
We found out in Mark 11, 23 that says say three times, ego, lego, ego.
-
Ego just means to say or command, but Lego means having a systematic discourse.
-
It means saying it over and over and over.
-
You have to keep on saying it.
-
You can't just say something once and expect a crop.
-
And we've discovered together that the three crop failures, the main reason they had a crop failure, is they had a lack of systematic discourse.
-
And when I look at that, I find that that's where I failed.
-
When I have had failure in my life, it's because I lacked a systematic discourse.
-
In other words, we say one thing one day and something else the next day, or one thing one minute and something else the next minute, depending on the audience.
-
You know it's easy to have faith in church If it said you know whosoever say this mountain in church, then you know we'd all be winners.
-
I'm gonna tell you right now, we'd all be on top of the mountain, wouldn't we?
-
But it's not in church where we fail, it's in the nasty now and now, when all the circumstances have turned against us.
-
Amen, everybody say systematic discourse, but anyway, we talked about our identification last week.
-
We have to realize that our whole door of redemption turns on the two hinges of substitution and identification.
-
Jesus was our substitute.
-
He identified with our humanity so that we could be his substitute and identify with his divinity.
-
We're to act and think like God does.
-
You wanna know how God thinks and acts?
-
Look at Jesus, look at his ministry.
-
He said if you've seen me, you've seen the Father.
-
We have a perfect example of how to operate in the spirit, how to establish a systematic discourse, how to have what we say come to pass when we follow the ministry of Jesus Christ.
-
So in this identification we've gotta find out.
-
We discovered that in the Bible, in the epistles, where eventually everything in the epistles is four and two.
-
The church, you know, everything in this Bible, is fours, but it's not all to us.
-
I'm gonna say it again, everything in this Bible is for us, but it's not necessarily to us.
-
You've gotta write to discern who Jesus is speaking to when he speaks.
-
In the gospels, for instance, Much of the time he's speaking to people that are not us.
-
He's speaking to the Pharisees, or else he's speaking to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and so there's a little difference.
-
You know, I like what one teacher said, that the epistles, the Pauline epistles, the ones that Paul wrote, or what Jesus took to heaven with him without speaking, they were not uttered.
-
He went to heaven with these truths unuttered.
-
And so then we find out that the apostle Paul had a visitation and he went to heaven.
-
Such a man went to heaven.
-
I don't know if I was in my body or out of the body, I can't tell you, but I saw great things and awesome things.
-
I mean it's not even lawful to talk about some of the things I saw.
-
He wrote what Jesus told him, right, that Jesus wanted to teach that they weren't ready to hear.
-
If you skip that, you skip the whole thing.
-
You're not gonna have the kind of success.
-
So we've discovered that in those epistles, especially the Pauline epistles, that it's got in Christ, in whom, through whom, 130 times, we've got to get firm on our identity.
-
I mean you can't go fly anywhere in this country without an ID.
-
I don't know why people expect to vote without an ID.
-
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
-
It's racist to have an ID.
-
What are you?
-
Are you nuts?
-
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
-
These people are shameless, aren't they?
-
Anyway, I'll get off the subject.
-
Hallelujah.
-
So you gotta have that spiritual identity.
-
I mean, just ask the sons of Sceva there in Acts chapter and I'll tell you.
-
I'm not gonna tell you.
-
I mean, just ask the sons of Sceva there in Acts chapter 19.
Acts 19 chapter mention
-
You know they were the Jewish guys that had a ministry, exorcists, and they came up to a young man that had demons in him and he said, in the name of Jesus that Paul preaches, come out of him and the young man looked at them and the demon spoke through him and says well, you know, let me check your ID.
-
I say Jesus, I know, paul, I know, but who are you?
-
Uh-oh, busted.
-
And we're literally busted.
-
I mean, they got no.
-
We've got to have a firm understanding of who we are in Christ when we operate in the spirit realm, and that's what we're talking about.
-
We're opera.
-
If you wanna change your world, you've got to learn the art of operating in the spirit realm, because everything you need is in that realm, everything that needs to come into this natural realm is in that spiritual realm, and you've got to speak it forth before you see it and believe it in your heart at the same time.
-
All right, so today let's look at Isaiah 55.
-
And I wanna get over here to yet another mountain.
-
We're gonna climb the mountain and get to the top, like we have the first two weeks, using a different prophet.
-
Isaiah had this revelation Isaiah 55.
-
We'll start reading with verse six Seek ye the Lord while he may be found.
-
Call ye upon him while he is near.
-
Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon, for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, my ways, saith the Lord.
-
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
-
For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven and returns, not thither, see, I like the King James because I like hither and thither.
-
I confess I got hooked on hither and thither when I was a baby Christian and I, just if you knew King James, nlt passion.
-
Y'all read whatever you want.
-
I'm sticking with the King James, sorry, all right, the rain comes down, snow from heaven returns, not there, but waters the earth makes it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.
-
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth.
-
That shall not return unto me void, but it will accomplish that which I please.
-
It will prosper in the thing where too I sent it.
-
Now, you know, if we just put that on God and say well, gosh, that's just how God operates.
-
But I man, his thoughts are unattainable.
-
I can't think like.
-
He thinks wrong.
-
And these are his thoughts.
-
These are the relevant thoughts for your world right here, the relevant thoughts that you need to think about.
-
Your world is right here.
-
It tells you exactly what his thoughts are.
-
I know the thoughts that I think towards you.
-
I have thoughts of Shalom and not of evil, to bring you to a successful future.
-
Jeremiah, we almost quote that verse.
-
God thinks good things about you.
-
Why don't you find out what he thinks about you?
-
He's not your enemy.
-
Let's agree with the Bible, quit agreeing with the devil, quit agreeing with the circumstance.
-
So you know, simply speaking today, if you want your world to change, you've got to change your way of thinking, because every human being, when they come out of the womb, is programmed to think negatively.
-
Why?
-
Because they're in darkness Every now.
-
I'm not talking about babies.
-
Babies go to heaven when they die.
-
There ain't no babies going to hell, but if they get to a place where they are responsible.
-
I remember when that happened to me when I was a kid.
-
You know Paul said you know I knew God at one time, but then sin came and I died.
-
What's he talking about?
-
His childhood?
-
So if children are innocent, they go to heaven when they die, and there's various ages of responsibility.
-
Every child is different, isn't it?
-
Have y'all ever figured that out?
-
I mean, your children are different.
-
They're not the same, they're not clones of each other.
-
I mean, one is this way, the next one's this way, and it's amazing.
-
So what I'm talking about is is that when we come into this world we must be born again.
-
We have to be born from above.
-
We know that as evangelicals you want to use that term and so the whole world is programmed to think negatively.
-
We're all programmed on the negative side.
-
That's why the marketers and people in marketing have discovered that fear sells.
-
It was easy to sell people on the idea of masks and distancing and the little plexiglass things that they have everywhere.
-
All of that was a bunch of bunk, and I knew it, you knew it.
-
It was all unscientific.
-
There wasn't anything scientific.
-
What sold it?
-
Fear.
-
Kind of.
-
Wished I'd been in the plexiglass business.
-
I don't tell him how much money I could have made Making plexiglass windows for people to feel safe.
-
I feel so safe at the bank.
-
I kind of like it in the salad more, I have to admit.
-
I mean it does make me feel better at the salad bar.
-
You know, at the salad bar when people are ah, ah, ah, you just don't know what's in that salad bowl.
-
I mean you just don't know what's in it.
-
But other than that, all right, fear sells.
-
See, the world is programmed to fear.
-
I mean, they figured this out a long time ago.
-
If you want people to watch the 10 o'clock news, you've got to load it up with car wrecks and car chases.
-
How many of you watched OJ?
-
I mean I know you did.
-
You watched it for hours.
-
How long did that chase go on?
-
Hours?
-
Here he is on a 405.
-
Here he comes, he's coming up.
-
It sells.
-
They figured out how to sell you everything you don't want.
-
Just make you afraid.
-
And here's the remedy, here it is, and you'll buy it.
-
You'll do anything to be safe.
-
But you know this is we've got to forsake our natural thinking.
-
God's thoughts, god's way of thinking is the successful way.
-
He said my thoughts are higher than the natural man.
-
See the natural man, everybody say the natural man.
-
See, that's your thinking, attached to your flesh.
-
See, what do you have to do to that?
-
Well, you've got to reprogram it.
-
Romans 12 too, you know, be transformed by the renewing of your mind, or refreshing of your mind, or I could say reprogramming, without doing that word any wrong.
-
You're reprogramming your way of thinking when you take your Bible and adopt that way of thinking about certain things.
-
Like, instead of thinking that you're sick, you think you know what, I'm healed and I'm successfully resisting sickness and disease.
-
I'm not allowing these symptoms to stay in my body.
-
I reject, I give no permission for the devil to give me these symptoms.
-
They have to go.
-
You've come this way.
-
You've come this far, devil, you're not coming any far.
-
You're gonna turn yourself around and you go back the other way.
-
See, how do you get to that place where you got to reprogram your way of thinking, because otherwise you're gonna get out there.
-
Now how you doing?
-
Well, I'm sick of the dog.
-
In fact, I'm thinking about just going by home, getting bed.
-
I'm telling you right now I hadn't felt this bad since I got married.
-
No, you would know better than let's say that, especially in front of your wife.
-
I hit a chord there for some.
-
I don't know what happened.
-
What does that say?
-
I don't know?
-
No, we're not gonna talk about it.
-
We're not gonna talk about it.
-
All right.
-
So God's word is God's thoughts.
-
See, everybody.
-
Let's hold our Bible up there.
-
These are his thoughts, these are God's thoughts.
-
See, when you get these thoughts and reprogram your mind, romans 12, too, says you are transformed by the renewing of your mind.
-
God does not want you to have the world's way of thinking.
-
The word transformed.
-
There is a Greek word called metamorphio, which, where we get the word metamorphosis from, which is exactly what happens to the tadpole becomes a frog when the caterpillar becomes a butterfly.
-
It's a miracle of nature to see these kinds of transformations.
-
They have nothing in common with each other.
-
And see, that's why Paul wrote the book of Romans to tell you he got that from Jesus when he went to heaven.
-
Tell my people reprogram their thinking and they'll be transferred.
-
Their lives will be transformed.
-
Do you need a transformation in your life?
-
It's gonna start with you reprograming your brain tissue with God's word Start thinking the way God thinks.
-
He didn't say these things to put us down there.
-
He's putting the natural man down there.
-
Oh, but the blood of Jesus elevated us and seated us at the right hand of the Father.
-
To think differently than the Father?
-
No, to commune with him on his level, so to speak, not on his absolute level, but I mean spirit to spirit.
-
He wants fellowship with his kids.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
Everybody say transform by the renewing of my mind.
-
So you meditate on God's word, which is God's will, which is God's thoughts, until your mind starts to pick up on God's way of thinking, so that when the first thing you don't even have to ask what does the Bible say about this situation you already know you get to the place where you don't even have to turn your Bible and find out what God's thoughts are about this attack that has just launched on you.
-
You're not intimidated, you're not down in the dumps.
-
You were expecting the devil to show up.
-
You know he's opposing you and you're every move.
-
You're not going to cry and whine and have a pity party.
-
No, you're going to stand on your feet and your shoulders caught back and you're going to tell the devil uh-uh, are y'all with me now?
-
In Hebrews 1317, the Bible says that one of the jobs of the pastor is to watch after your souls as one that will give an account.
-
Your soul is your mind, your will, your intellect.
-
My job is to watch over the way you think.
-
How do I do that?
-
How, in the world?
-
I don't even know you personally.
-
I might not even know your name this morning.
-
It's possible that we haven't really shaken hands and I might not have your name in my memory bank yet.
-
But I'm going to tell you something.
-
I watch over you from right here and I preach the Word.
-
It's got an anointing on it.
-
It'll go down into your heart and it'll start.
-
You know, if you come to church with an open heart and an open mind and say God, I'm willing to make every adjustment I need to make to have what you said I could have.
-
That's where it starts, right there, trusting Hallelujah.
-
And when you get to that place, oh, I tell you what God will open you up to, things that you need to change.
-
Little adjustments usually they're not real big adjustments, little adjustments.
-
You'll see and hear something that will say uh-oh, oh yeah, that he's talking to me right here.
-
I can't count the times.
-
In 28 years, people come up to me after the service pastor.
-
You were talking right to me.
-
Well, how could I do that?
-
I can't.
-
But the Holy Ghost can Come on.
-
Let's lift our hands right now.
-
That's the value of having a pastor, the value of having a church that people are missing out all over the country.
-
They got out of church, they got offended and all of that.
-
They need to get back in.
-
You know, some of them Tell them don't, don't leave them alone, don't, just fellowship with the 99.
-
Go after the one that you know should be here I don't know who that's for All right.
-
So if you think wrong, you'll talk wrong.
-
It is, you know, out of the abundance of the heart.
-
Jesus said I didn't say it.
-
Jesus said it.
-
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
-
I mean, whatever you're thinking about will come out of your mouth If you think wrong.
-
Wrong words, wrong words will create wrong things in your life because you're going to create Well, I don't know about that.
-
Well, proverbs 18, 21 says the power of the life and death are in the power of the tongue.
-
James 3, verses five and six, says your words can set your entire life on fire.
-
I'd rather have something built in my life.
-
I don't want to burn anything out, unless it's something that is undesirable.
-
The fire of God can burn out some things that need to be burned out and then you can rebuild.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
So if you think wrong, you'll speak wrong.
-
Romans eight seven says the carnal mind is enmity of God in the enemy of God, the carnal mind.
-
See, that's why he said my ways are higher than your ways, my thoughts and your thoughts.
-
He wasn't, he's just.
-
Hey, let's get out of the carnal into the spiritual.
-
Let's quit thinking like the world thinks.
-
Let's not adopt the world's way of thinking about everything.
-
Let's, let's elevate to God's way of thinking.
-
How do we find this right here in the Bible?
-
Amen, and so now then, we don't have a carnal mind, our carnal mind is not in charge.
-
And it says the carnal mind is enmity with God and it can't be subject to God's spiritual laws.
-
Can't be.
-
It won't give you good results.
-
A cardinal mind will never give you good results.
-
You'll have bad results.
-
So right thinking will produce right speaking, and then it'll be true.
-
What the word says about God will be true about you.
-
And let's put ourselves in it.
-
Isaiah 55.
-
You can read verse 11, instead of talking about God, you can talk about yourself, and so I'm gonna just put my name here.
-
Social John's word be that goes forth out of John's mouth, it shall not return unto John void, but it shall accomplish that which John pleases, and it will prosper in the thing where, too, john sent it.
-
Now you can read that just like that.
-
Put your name there and you have not violated one thing.
-
That is what God wants you to know that when you speak it comes to pass.
-
When you send the word, it goes where you sent it.
-
It does not come back to you void, it prospers in the thing where, too, you sent it.
-
You know we send the texts, we send emails.
-
There's some things we need to send, and I'll just wrap this up because I've preached this recently sending the word.
-
I have a separate message sending the word, but that's really what this is all about.
-
We have to send the word to build our world.
-
You're gonna have.
-
I mean, I was a home builder for 25 years and I built houses with a telephone.
-
I mean I rarely pick up a hammer.
-
I mean I could, but I'm not a framing carpenter.
-
I would patch sheetrock, not well, but I could do it Generally.
-
I mean, if it was just a little old thing, I'd do it myself because it took.
-
You know, if it was, if I had to call the sheet rocker, I mean it might take a week for him to get out there and make his little patch right here, a little hole in the wall or something.
-
But when I've got my trim, carpenters are getting drunk on a Friday before Christmas and we had given them a frozen turkey for Christmas.
-
It'd been a bad year that year Just didn't make any profit and we wanted to give them something for Christmas.
-
They were expecting a big bonus.
-
Well, we didn't have money to give them and so they kind of showed up on the job site drunk that day and we gave them a frozen turkey.
-
And so they threw the frozen turkey through the wall and they used the frozen turkey to but bash all of the sheetrock in the dining room of one of my houses Every other, you know in between the studs, 16 inch centers, you know and it's bam.
-
You know, bro, bam.
-
I didn't try that patch myself.
-
I did call the sheetrocker and of course you know they were so embarrassed I mean they really were.
-
They were just begging us not to file charges on them.
-
You know I said, look, I know you're disappointed, I'm disappointed.
-
I wish we'd had some money.
-
We didn't make any money last year.
-
That's the way that business is sometimes.
-
You know, it's just Carter.
-
Why don't you, why don't you throw the frozen turkey, at Jimmy Carter's retirement home or something.
-
No, I didn't say that Before Obama.
-
I think he was the worst president anyway.
-
So he's still alive.
-
I built houses with my words.
-
I built.
-
I built them on the telephone.
-
I called everybody, I scheduled everything.
-
I started with buying the lot on the phone.
-
I did business on the phone.
-
I did business with the bank.
-
I did have to go to the bank and fill out a bunch of paperwork and borrow the money and I did have to go and sign contract with a developer and buy the lots, but mostly over the telephone.
-
And then, after I owned the lots, then I called a guy that I knew to clear the lot and I called another guy that designed the houses.
-
Some of the houses I drew my own, drew my own plans on some of the houses, and so I didn't have to call a designer.
-
I designed them.
-
But then I got out there with a machete and marked the trees that had to come out and I called a guy to come and knock the trees down and level the yard.
-
And then I just made phone call after phone call after phone call until finally that thing sold and people moved in.
-
I built that whole house with my telephone.
-
So I know that your world can change with words.
-
See, god was trying to show me back then, when I finally got saved and I realized you know, I've been doing this all along, man, this does work.
-
I didn't even know what I was doing.
-
I had the faith that when I call somebody, they'd show up and do what I asked them to do, and then trust me to pay them at the end.
-
And I did.
-
Are you with me now?
-
So send the Word.
-
Let's send the Word number one to our bodies.
-
I do that every night in the shower.
-
Send the Word to my body.
-
I send it a text.
-
It's a long one, it's a long text.
-
When you've spent five, five trips to the ICU and survived, you tend to have a longer text message, and so I have a whole message speaking your way to health.
-
I mean, your words are so powerful.
-
What you say about sickness and disease, what you say about the symptoms, what you say about the doctor's report.
-
You don't have to deny what the doctor's saying, you just speak the Word.
-
Yeah, I know the doctor said I've got X, but the Bible says I've been healed.
-
I believe the Bible.
-
I don't believe.
-
He's lying.
-
See, don't go doctor.
-
You're lying, don't tell.
-
I suggest if you go to the doctor, don't tell him.
-
He's lying to his face.
-
He's giving you the truth as he sees it.
-
He's what?
-
Natural?
-
You're not dealing in the natural.
-
Where are you dealing?
-
You're dealing in the spirit realm.
-
You're in the spirit realm.
-
The healing has got to come from that realm.
-
I'm not saying the doctors can't help you, but I'm saying you're healing.
-
The doctors can't heal, they treat, they practice.
-
That's what I found out.
-
The doctors practice medicine.
-
They practice because they, you know, practice.
-
They're practicing on you.
-
Let's practice on this one here.
-
And I'm not critical.
-
I'm just saying thank God for the doctors.
-
God's used doctors in my life.
-
I'm not against the doctor, we're on the same team.
-
We're on the same.
-
We've got the same motivation.
-
We want to get people well.
-
But my spirit comes from my spirit.
-
There's no other way to get healed except your spirit.
-
Amen, are you getting this?
-
Now?
-
Send the word to your body.
-
I mean send it.
-
Call your body.
-
Well, call.
-
And I just break it down into all my small divisions.
-
I start talking to my heart, my arteries, my rhythm, my resting heart rate.
-
Recently my resting heart rate went way up a few about a year and some ought to go and I had what to call atrial flutter.
-
So my resting heart rate was 155.
-
When I got to the emergency room.
-
How would you like to have a pulse of 155?
-
Couldn't breathe enough to keep up, short of breath, a little bit dizzy.
-
Atrial flutter is worse than atrial fibrillation.
-
And because my watch said it looked like a sinus rhythm, he said that's the trouble.
-
It looks like a sinus rhythm on the EKG but it's not, plus the fact you've got 155 beats a minute.
-
We got to do something with that.
-
It'll kill you.
-
You can't live with flutter.
-
Thank God I lived.
-
Why?
-
Because I sent my heart a text and I reminded my heart.
-
I said haven't I been speaking to you?
-
Haven't I sent the word to you?
-
I used Isaiah 55.
-
Haven't I been speaking the word to you for 15 years?
-
It's not coming back to me.
-
Board.
-
You're straightened up right now In the name of it took a while.
-
It didn't happen right then.
-
It didn't happen the minute I spoke.
-
I had to go through some things until it finally finally came down 120, 100, 90, 80.
-
Usually it's about 75.
-
Sometimes, some days, it's 65.
-
It's always sinus rhythm.
-
I don't put up with any other kind of rhythm.
-
What is a sinus?
-
It's just that your heart is beating correctly.
-
It's a sinus wave.
-
Flutter is like, basically, your heart just vibrates, flutters, it doesn't pump.
-
You can have organ failure, you can have a stroke, you can have all and none of it's good, none of it's good news.
-
What did I do when I heard that?
-
I just kept reminding my heart.
-
I sent the word to you.
-
The Bible says it won't come back void.
-
Are y'all getting anything out of this?
-
Send the word to your mind.
-
Your mind sometimes will revert back to its old way of thinking.
-
Everybody has emotions.
-
God has emotions.
-
God gets angry, but he doesn't move on anger.
-
He's motivated by mercy, but he gets angry when we don't walk by faith.
-
Jesus got angry.
-
How, how is it that you have no faith?
-
You know, and that kind of thing?
-
I mean, he was always looking for faith and when he didn't find it, he didn't like it and he made no bones about it.
-
And he's still that way.
-
He's that way with you.
-
This picture of Jesus being so sweet and kind and soft.
-
He's listen, he's Lord, he's the head of the church and he expects his people to act their part.
-
Yeah, oh yeah, no wavering.
-
So you know, we're all tempted to have anger, sadness, loneliness, up one day, down the next, all those kind of gyrations in our emotions.
-
What are these emotions?
-
Well, they're really the voice of your flesh, and so your coronal mind responds to them and starts thinking along the lines of your emotion, either making up videotapes that make you more angry or more sad, or more victimized, or more this or more that, all that stuff.
-
See, that's all the Bible tells you in Philippians 4-8, what to be thinking about.
-
And so you just have to tell your mind what to think.
-
What's you, what your spirit?
-
You're in charge, your spirit's in charge.
-
You are in charge of your mind, you are in charge of your body.
-
If you are not, then who is and whose fault is it?
-
See, there's some things you just need.
-
You just have to come on, you just have to.
-
You just have to add it all up and just go ahead and point the finger back at you, and not at your flesh, but roll away through your eyeballs into your spirit.
-
And you know, when you grow spiritually, god wants your spirit to gain the ascendancy.
-
He wants your spirit dominant over your body and over your mind.
-
That's the main way you can be consistent.
-
We all grow in these things.
-
We don't instantly, overnight.
-
We hear this message.
-
I mean, it took me years, decades really, to start living this way consistently.
-
It doesn't have to take you decades.
-
Are you with me now?
-
So send the word and email to your mind, send it.
-
Send a text, boy.
-
Those text messages they go right now.
-
Man, it took me a long time to get on with texts.
-
I preferred emails for the longest time, until I think I was looking at one of my children's phone.
-
I think I was looking at Claire's phone.
-
She had 3,482 emails unread in her and I thought, well, I'm not gonna bother sending Claire an email on us, I've got faith, but I'm not stupid.
-
I don't know how would she find my email under that melting.
-
So the text works.
-
The text works and it's quick.
-
It's right now, boop, there.
-
There it is boop.
-
So send the word to your mind and then finally, send the word to your circumstances.
-
Now see, this is just a different way of saying what I've been saying, but my point this morning is it's written all through the Bible Abraham did this, isaac did this.
-
Jacob did this.
-
David did this, david did this.
-
They all practiced what we're talking about.
-
It's Bible.
-
It's not just word of faith, brother Hagin.
-
It's not a cult, it's Bible.
-
And if you believe the Bible, you need to learn to operate in this realm called the spirit realm.
-
And when you start sending your circumstances, those texts and you, then you've got some ground, according to what we read this morning.
-
You know I just sent this circumstance.
-
Maybe you've got trouble at work with some cigar chewing, cussing, disrespectful boss that treats you like a dog.
-
We'll send you know, forgiving, maybe make you know, might wanna bake him a pie or a cake.
-
Bible says you heap coals of fire in his head when you do.
-
Sir, I bought, I brought you a cake this morning, my coals of fire cake.
-
It's the latest.
-
No, don't do that.
-
Ex that one off.
-
But you can send, you can send a message to that circumstance.
-
I will not allow my good name to be smeared.
-
I will not allow lies to go around behind my back.
-
I will not allow this falsehood that's masquerading itself as an evaluation.
-
You know I stand with people all kind of places and I mean they get false evaluations.
-
They're called in front of their boss and basically lied to and miss him.
-
You know, miss all of these kinds of things.
-
Listen, you don't have to.
-
You don't have to fight that in the natural first.
-
Fight it in the spirit realm first.
-
Let your angels know about it.
-
Start dispatching the word yeah, forgive the person, but say no, I'm not gonna put up with that Jesus name.
-
I've some good seed, I'm having a good, I'm gonna have a good harvest.
-
There.
-
Is this helping anybody?
-
Your word will not return to you void.
-
It will accomplish what you please.
-
Hallelujah.
-
What do you want to happen?
-
How do you want it to look?
-
What is the end result of what you're believing for?
-
Speak that.
-
It will accomplish what you please.
-
It will prosper in the thing where to you send it.
-
Come on, lift your hands and receive this morning.
-
Hallelujah, glory to God.
-
Hallelujah, building your world with words.
-
I trust you're getting something out of this.
-
Today and we just keep preaching the same thing in different ways, and we've got another way to preach it next week.
-
Why do we do this?
-
Because faith comes by hearing and hearing and it takes faith to operate in the spirit realm.
-
Because the spirit realm is hidden from us.
-
But it's not hidden from us, it's hidden for us.
-
We don't seed.
-
We have to see with the eyes of our faith.
-
Praise God.
