Genesis chapter 1, and we'll start in verse 26, Genesis chapter 1 and verse 26,

Genesis 1 · chapter mention Genesis 1 · chapter mention

and the word of the Lord says, Then God said, Let us make man in our image according to our likeness.

Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea over the birds of the air and

over the cattle and over the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth when i was.

A little boy i used to live in alaska and i gave my life to the lord in at true

victory baptist Church in North Pole, Alaska.

And so my dad was military. We lived in Alaska for four years.

My little sister was born in Alaska.

And as I continued to grow, we stayed in the Baptist denomination.

And I'm not against the Baptist, but there was one thing that I realized when

we were missionary Baptists was there was a lot of what you can't do.

It was like, you just can't do this and you can't do that.

And don't touch the altar at the front. You can't touch that and you can't stand

behind the altar and you can't snap your fingers. One time we came up with a

song and we were snapping our fingers and we got rebuked.

Can't snap your fingers and you can't play spades. I remember that too.

Can't play board games. It was just a lot of can't, can't, can't.

And I thought, man, when I grow up, I'm getting out of this Baptist thing,

you know. I want to be able to do something, right?

And when we stepped out of the Baptist denomination, nothing wrong with the

Baptist, by the way, but when we stepped out, one of the first things I learned

was something that I can do, something that I can do.

And we see here in Genesis chapter one, God is creating humanity,

man, male and female is creating humanity.

The spirit of man is what he actually created.

He put the spirit of man inside of a male and the spirit of man inside of a female.

And he created the spirit of man in the image of himself.

So in the likeness, in the resemblance, in the copy, in the form,

in the replica of himself.

He said, man is like me. And so God is a spirit and you and I are spirits. We're just in this body.

We have a soul and we're in this body.

And so he created man as a spirit, put the spirit of man in the male and female

and said, the spirit of man is just like me.

Now, how are we like God?

Well, one of the ways we're like God, you know, I'm getting used to our new

church. I might walk around a little bit, you know, but one of the ways that,

that we're like God is God is a speaking spirit.

And so nothing else talks, right? Other things parrot, but nothing else talks.

You and I are speaking spirits.

And so when God said, let us make man in our image and in our likeness,

he said, let's allow man to speak.

And then he says, let them have dominion. Somebody say dominion.

Dominion is very important because dominion is authority. It's delegated power.

It's the right to command, the right to dictate, the right to control.

He said, let them have dominion.

Now, I want you to notice something that he did not say, let us have dominion, including himself.

He said, let them have dominion, intentionally not including himself.

What does man have dominion over? Over the fish of the sea, the cattle,

the birds, and over all the earth.

So man, you and I have dominion, the right to command, control,

determined over all of the earth.

And so the earth is in the condition it's in now, not because God is making

it that way, but because you and I are allowing it to be.

You and I have the right to determine, to command, and control.

There are people right now dying of starvation.

It's not because God is lacking food on the earth.

It's because you and I have control over the food of the earth,

and we're distributing it in such a way that some people are not even getting it.

That's not God's fault. That's our fault. and so God's given us dominion and

the dominion he's given us is the ability to speak,

the ability to say now this is our summer of miracles and I want to release and unleash unto you

a power that you and I have are possessing but we don't know what we really

are possessing with the ability to speak

and that's how we're like God we can talk,

and we can communicate and we can say things just like God says things,

and we can expect things that we say come to pass. Say amen to that.

Now, in Genesis chapter 1, verses 1 through 3, I want you to see this.

Genesis 1:1–3

Genesis chapter 1, verses 1 through 3, it says, In the beginning God created

Genesis 1:1–3

the heavens and the earth.

And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the

deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Look at verse three.

Then God said, let there be light and there was light.

So let me paint this picture for you. The earth, God created the earth,

but the earth was without form. It was void and it was dark.

However, the spirit of God was in the earth, hovering in the earth,

moving around in the earth, it was without form, it was void,

nothing, and it was dark.

Now, the Spirit of God was on the earth, but nothing was happening.

Until God said, let there be light.

And the scripture says, and there was light.

So what I want you to see is nothing happened until something was spoken.

It was dark. God was there. It was void.

It was empty. But nothing happened until God said something.

Now, notice he didn't say, look how dark it is.

Notice he didn't say, man, I wish it wasn't so dark.

No, he said something in order to rearrange and change things.

He released his power through his words and he said, let there be light. And there was light.

What he really said was light in me be.

He lit up the earth. Glory to God. And then what day three, I believe that's when he created the sun.

But he lit up the earth. Light in me be.

He lit up the earth. And so when something was wrong, God said something to

change what he wanted to see versus what he was currently seeing.

This is the power of your words.

This is something I learned when we stepped out of the Baptist church was I

can say things and see it come to pass.

Just like God can. Now, God's on another level, on a sphere of influence,

what I mean, when he says something, it affects the entire universe.

But you and I can say something and affect our family, affect our finances,

affect our health, affect our strength.

We can say things and things can change because we're created in the image of God.

We found out in Proverbs chapter 18, if we look at verse 20 and 21,

Proverbs 18 · chapter mention

Proverbs chapter 18 verses 20 and 21.

Proverbs 18:20

Solomon tells us, a man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth.

From the produce of his lips, he shall be filled.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

What I want you to notice in this passage of Scripture, there are three synonymous

words, mouth, tongue, and lips. They're all the same.

And here he says, as fruit satisfies your stomach, so will your words satisfy your life.

He says, from the produce of your lips, you shall be filled.

Now, the word produce is also where we get the word production, right?

How many know what a production company does?

It produces. It makes something. It creates something. It increases something.

It brings something into manifestation.

And so the scripture tells us here is from the produce of your lips,

your lips were created to produce.

What if I told you that your words were more about creating than they were about communicating?

What if I told you the purpose of words was more for creating things than communicating with each other?

Your lips, your mouth, your tongue will produce.

It will create, it will make, it will manifest what you want to see.

Now, this is vitally important because the rest of that scripture he says there,

and those that love to talk will reap the consequences.

So you will receive what you're always saying.

You are producing, you are creating, you are developing what you are already communicating.

And so you are literally living the life that you communicated yesterday.

You're living the life that you communicated two weeks ago.

What are you creating? What are you saying? What is coming out of your mouth?

What is coming out of your lips?

What are you allowing your lips and your tongue and your mouth to produce in your life?

If this is our summer of miracles, we're going to have to start talking about miracles.

We're going to have to start saying today is my day for a miracle.

Today is the day I wake up and something good is going to happen to me.

Today is the day the goodness of God is going to pour out.

Today is my receiving day. You're going to have to create your world with your word.

Because the next verse in Proverbs 18, 21, he says, death and life is in the

power of the devil. Is that what he said?

You thought death and life was in the power of the devil. Death and life is

in the power of God. Is that what it says?

Actually, death and life is in the power of the devil. You have the ability

to speak death to something.

Your words can end friendships right now.

Your words can end relationships. Your words could cut off family members right now.

Or your words could increase relationships, strengthen relationships,

create new relationships.

Your words have the power of death and your words have the power of life.

Your life is filled with the production of your lips.

Your life is filled with the production of your lips.

So let me ask you this question today. What are your lips producing?

What are your lips producing? And if you don't like where you are,

you have a weapon to change and rearrange right where you are. And that is your mouth.

That is your tongue. If you don't like where you are, change it.

Your victory is found in your tongue in your lips out of your mouth you can

create an atmosphere an environment

just by speaking positive god-given

words words that god put in your heart if you begin to speak them you can change

things i used to say this all the time i have i've had to really change my vocabulary.

If you want to get serious about this, change your vocabulary.

I used to say this all the time, that's killing me.

Oh, that's killing me. I don't want that thing to kill me, so I can't say that.

Well, I'm just, you know, you're taking this too serious.

The devil is listening, and he knows that death and life is in the power of

the tongue, So he wants to get you to continue to say stuff like that so that he can take you out.

I'm preaching better than you're saying amen. I used to say things like,

man, I'm going to laugh to death. Oh, I'm tickled to death.

I'm laugh to death. Well, listen, I enjoy laughing, but I don't want to die laughing.

Amen. I want to live long and strong. Amen.

And so change. You're going to have to intentionally change your vocabulary.

I went to an auto store. I've never said this before. And I went to this auto

store because a battery of one of our cars went out.

And the man said, hey, what do you need? And I said, I need a new battery.

He said, yeah, a lot of people have come in for new batteries.

And I said, it's out of my mouth. I said, you know, when it rains, it pours.

I have never said that before.

And it just came up out of there when it rains. I said, why did I say that?

I said, no, no. Then I had to correct myself. I said, you know,

thank God I've got the money to buy a new battery.

Amen. You know, the money cometh. Amen.

To take care of all these things. You're going to have to say what you want

to see and not what you currently see.

This is the power of your words. The title of this message is Talk That Talk. Amen.

Talk That Talk. Only say what you want to see.

You're going to have to put a guard over your mouth. and only say what you want to see.

Don't say what you currently see. We already see what you currently see.

Say what you want to see.

Now, we'll see here in Romans chapter 4. Let's take a look here.

Romans 4 · chapter mention

Romans chapter 4, verse 16 and 17.

Romans 4:16

Romans 4, 16 and 17. Paul tells us, as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations.

In the presence of him whom he believed, God, watch this, who gives life to

the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.

Now, God gives life to the dead. Remember, you're created in the image of God,

in the resemblance, in the likeness, in the replica, in the exact duplication of God.

God gives life to the dead. How does he give life to the dead? He speaks to it.

He uses his lips and he begins to speak to it and he gives life to the dead. Why?

Because he wants to quicken things, make alive things, and impart resurrection life into things.

He breathes life into things that look dead, delayed, or impossible.

He gives life. And how does he give life? This is something I want you to go

home with today. He begins to call.

Now, the word call means to summon. To summon.

To call forth, to bring into manifestation.

He begins to call things that be not as though they were.

He does not call things that are as though they're not.

Listen to me now. He calls things that are not as though they are.

He does not call things that are as though they're not.

He calls things that are not as though they are. Why do you keep saying that?

Because people say, well, you know, the doctors diagnosed me with cancer, but I don't have that.

Well, if the doctors say you have it, you probably have it. They could be wrong, but you probably do.

You don't call what is not.

You call what's not is.

And so the doctor says, you know, you've been diagnosed with cancer.

You don't say, well, I don't have it.

That's not what God does. I don't have it. No, you say, I call healing to come.

I call manifestation of God's power to come.

I call resurrection power to come on the inside of me.

I call things that be not as though they are, because when you call things that

are not as though they are, things that are begin to change the way you've called it.

It is on feet and it's running towards you right now when you call for it.

When we have a two-story home and I'm downstairs, Zavin is upstairs,

all I got to do is say, Zavin...

That's all I got to do. And what does he do? He hops up, whatever he's doing,

and he begins to run down the stairs and say, yes, dad, what did I do?

I called for him. I called for him.

In the invisible realm, you can call for things in the invisible realm and bring

it into the visible realm because things are more real in the invisible realm

than in the visible realm.

Things in the visible realm are temporary and subject to change,

But things in the invisible realm are permanent and you can call for it.

If I want Zayven, I don't call Zayge.

And if Zayge is sitting next to me and I want Zayven, I call Zayven.

And I'll say, Zayge, Zayge, and she'll look at me like, what?

I'm right here. What, what, what?

I don't want to call for her. I want to call for what I don't have.

And I'm demanding it come into the visible realm. Say amen to this.

A couple of years, well, no, 2025, February 2025, I go get an annual checkup.

How many of you, don't raise your hand, but every one of you should go get an

annual checkup. Say amen to that.

Go get it. Some of you are fearing bad news, so you won't go to the doctor.

That's the only reason you don't go, because you're scared of the bad news.

But believers don't fear bad news.

We confidently trust the Lord to take care of us. Amen?

And so I go to get my annual physical.

And there were certain numbers as an organ in my body that the numbers were pretty high.

And every year, they just, you know, they stayed high.

The doctor never really said anything to me about it. I said something to them.

I was like, these numbers are pretty high. They said, yeah, at some point,

we may have to address that. I'm talking about at some point.

We need to address that right now, right? What are we waiting for, right?

I said, well, what's going on with that? They said, you know,

I don't know. We're keeping an eye on it. But the last five years,

the numbers were pretty high.

And I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this to me in my heart.

He said, what are you going to do about it? Well, I knew what he meant.

I said, well, there's some natural things that I could do, right?

Drink more water, exercise a little more, this, that, and a third.

I said, but there's also some spiritual things that I can do.

And so this particular organ in my body, there were three words I heard in my heart.

Every day, I would call this organ. I said, organ, I'll call you normal size organ.

Healthy function, green numbers.

I did it every day. Oregon, you be normal size, healthy function,

green numbers. Because it was in the yellow, you know?

Normal size, healthy function, green numbers. And I would just call for it.

Oregon, I call you normal size, healthy function, green numbers.

If you got high blood pressure, call your blood pressure 120 over 80.

Your body will listen to you. James chapter 3, verse 2. Your body will listen to you.

James 3:2

You call things that be not as though they are. I said, Oregon, I call you.

Normal size, healthy function, green numbers. And I began to call.

And I went back to the doctor the following year.

And then the doctor, you know, put the graph out. The doctor didn't say anything

about the graph, but I saw the graph.

And guys, if you don't mind, put it on the screen. This was the graph that I saw.

I was excited about this because this is going to come on the screen at any moment now,

And I'm super thrilled by it praise God well It doesn't look like it's coming

on the screen But they'll put it on the screen when they put it because I put

it in Dropbox So it should be in there.

Amen. Amen. And so, I begin to call what I wanted to see and not what I currently saw.

I begin to call for it. I begin to call for it.

You know, the scripture says here that when you call for it,

don't wait for it to appear before you speak.

Speak it first, and then manifestation will follow.

Don't wait for it to appear before you speak. Speak it first and the manifestation will follow.

And when you're calling, you're calling things which do not exist.

What does that mean? Things not yet visible, things not yet present,

things not yet manifested, things which do not exist.

You're calling for these things, things that are not yet in your hands,

but are already in God's perfect plan for you. You're calling for it.

If it's financial, just call for it. There's some lack in my life.

I call for abundance to come in the name of Jesus.

I call for it to come to take care of this need. Bill, I call you paid in Jesus' name.

You got to begin to talk to things. You know, we talk, there's the graph.

Hallelujah. Now look at this.

Now, you see how my numbers were going up, up, up, up, and then I started talking

to it. Can you tell when I started talking to it?

It dropped back down in the green. Say amen to that.

I began to talk to it, and it came down. I am not just making stuff up up here

preaching to you. I've got evidence and proof that if you'll talk to it,

it'll change in a real range.

It'll make visible in your life. Put the graph back on the screen one more time,

guys. Put it back on the screen one more time.

I want you all to see evidence.

Evidence. I started talking to it, and it dropped down.

Glory to God. That was just in one year. Just in one year talking to it,

talking to it, talking to it, and it came down.

You can begin to call for things. Thank you, guys.

You can begin to call for things. I call that organ in my body healthy function,

normal size, green numbers.

And you see that the numbers was in the green. Say amen to that.

And so as you begin to call things, it's not yet in you yet,

but it's part of God's perfect plan for you. And you begin to call it.

When we were preparing to get

in this facility, we began to call for this thing. Y'all remember that?

We called for it to come in. We call for it to manifest. We call for it and

you're sitting in it right now. Say amen to that.

You've got to call for these. Nothing just happens.

Nothing just happens. Nothing happens until something is spoken.

You've got to call for it, and you've got to put a demand on it.

And when you put a demand on it, it'll come in Jesus' name.

And you call for it as though they did. What does that mean?

As existing, as present, as already established.

God speaks of the end, not of the current situation.

God is always talking about the end, the end of a thing.

And you need to begin to think and talk the end of a thing.

Whatever it is that you're going through, if you've got a wayward child and

they're acting crazy, you just, I call them back into the house of God.

I call them back in, come home. I call you, come, thank God that they're home.

But you think, well, in the natural, they're not home yet. No,

I called for it, and it's coming, and it will manifest in due time.

I thank God it's home. When we were believing God for Zai, she wanted to get

a full ride scholarship to college.

Y'all remember that? We called it in.

Full ride, come to us in Jesus' name. We thank God that Zai has a full ride scholarship.

Come to us in the name of Jesus, full ride. Well, guess what happened?

She graduated high school.

She got accepted. Twelve different colleges accepted her. Praise God.

But one of them offered her, guess what?

A full ride. Well, why did they offer her that? Well, she had hard work that

went into it. But mom and dad was calling for it.

Say amen to that. If you got some sickness, call for the healing to come in your body.

If you're lacking, call for the abundance to come in your body.

If you need to know what to do, call for the wisdom to come in Jesus' name.

We've been sitting around just waiting for stuff to happen, and it ain't been

happening because we haven't been calling for it.

The Lord told me one particular time there was something in the church that

I was believing him for, and it didn't seem to be happening.

And I said, Lord, I said, man, it just don't seem to be happening.

He said, because you're not in faith.

I said, well, wait a minute. I am believing you for it. I'm in faith.

He said, you're not in faith.

I said, well, I am. I think I am. He said, you're not. I said,

finally had to agree with God. Okay, I'm not.

Teach me. What am I doing? And he said, you've stopped calling for it.

I said, wow, you stopped calling for it. When I was younger,

we had a cat. Cat name was Smokey.

Smokey was a cool cat, you know. And Smokey was an outdoor cat. And he went outside.

And if we wanted Smokey to come home, we would get out on the porch and we would say, Smokey.

And we would wait.

And we would say, Smokey. And we would wait. Sometimes we would go back in the

house. We would come back maybe five, ten minutes later.

Smokey, right? We would wait, go back in the house, come back five,

ten minutes. Smokey, and out of the woods, here comes Smokey.

He was an Alaskan cat, you know.

He would come out of the woods, come running home out of the woods and run to

the door and come on inside. Well, why did he come?

Because we called him. And we kept calling him. And we kept calling him.

And we kept calling him. And he would come because we called him.

Why would you stop calling it?

Well, I don't see it yet. That means you need to keep calling.

And the Lord said to me, he said, you are not in faith in this because you stopped calling for it.

I said, you're right. I began to call for it. How do you think I got Stacy here? I called for her.

I said, today's the day I'm going to meet my wife. Today's the day I'm going to meet her, right?

I called her in and one day she came in and I almost lost it because we were

friends first, you know, and I almost lost it. You know, and I'm going to say

this, marry your best friend.

You agree with that, don't you? Yeah, your best friend.

Amen. Fine. I talk to people sometimes. Well, that's just my friend.

How old are you? I'm 50 and I'm still single, but that's my friend.

That might be your mate. Right.

I mean, if y'all can be really good friends, y'all can probably be really good

husband and wife, too. Don't shout me down when I'm preaching good.

Now, if your best friend got some character issues, I question if they should

be your best friend. But that's a whole other conversation.

But call. Whatever it is that you need, call for it. Call for it.

This has been a miracle that we've been walking in in order to get this facility that we're in.

We begin to call for it, the money to come in, call for the building to come

in, call for a bank to favor us.

We begin to just call for it. We begin to call for it, and it started coming,

because we were calling for it.

And that's a power that you and I have lacked is we've stopped calling for it,

And we have said, well, whatever happens, happens.

And we get tired and we get fatigued and we give up and we quit.

But you got to continue to call for it and know in the spirit realm, it is coming.

It's coming. It's on feet running towards you.

It's coming in Jesus' name. Romans 4, 17 in the living Bible,

watch this, says it this way.

And this promise is from God himself, who makes the dead live again and speaks,

watch this, of future events with as much certainty as though they were already past.

Notice, God is talking about future events with as much certainty as it's already done.

That's how you and I are supposed to talk.

We're supposed to talk like as if it's already done.

We wanted to go on a cruise, a family cruise. And we began to just believe God.

First thing we did is we sowed a seed. If you have a need, what do you do?

Sow a seed. We got some money and we sowed it and said, Lord,

we sow a seed for this cruise. And, you know, there's a family of five.

Well, this time we took everybody, right? Six. Yeah, we took everybody on this particular cruise.

And family six. And we began to say, okay, how many of you know that?

Costs a lot of money. Amen?

And I don't believe in going on vacation in debt. Right? I believe in vacations are paid for with cash.

I only got a few amens on that, but I know I'm telling the truth on that. And so.

I said, you know, we sowed the seed, and we began to believe God,

and we began to call it in.

We said, you know, money come from the north, south, east, and west for this

cruise, and you know, any extra money that came in, we began to save for it,

and we began to just to call the money in.

Money come in for the cruise. We call you in from the north, south, east, and west.

We had a little confession that we would say together that God's going to pay

for this cruise for us, and the money's going to come in. We just begin to call

it in. Yes, we saved money for it.

Yes, we budgeted a little bit money for it. But how many know it was thousands,

amen, that had to come in in order for us to go on this cruise?

It wasn't hundreds, it was thousands, right?

And so we begin to call for it. Well, out of the blue, extra money started coming in.

Glory to God. And little by little, it started coming in until one day one guy

reached out to me. He says, what do you need?

And I said, well, I think I'm fine, right? I know we fine, we fine.

I said, I think we're good. And I said, no, I'm going to tell him we believe

in to go on a cruise, take the whole family on the cruise.

He said, the Lord told me to meet your need. He said, how much is the cruise?

Well, I told him how much it was going to be.

He said, the Lord told me to take care of that for you. Amen.

Well, praise God, the money came in.

Why did it come in? We began to call for it.

And God laid it on somebody's heart to take care of it. Somebody say amen to that.

You just, what you're lacking is calling.

You got to call for it. Call for it. Command it to come. Demand it to come.

Call for it to come in Jesus' name.

Now watch this in Romans chapter 4, 17 in the Amplified Classic.

Romans 4 · chapter mention

Who gives life to the dead and speaks of non-existent things that he has foretold

and promised as if they have already existed.

We're to speak as if these things are already existed. that they're already

done. That's what faith is.

Believing that you have it before you even see it.

Believing that you've received it before it manifests.

This is what faith does. We have to call things that be not as though they were.

I've been calling this summer for you and me, a summer of miracles.

I just call in and this will be a summer of miracles for you and me.

This summer shall be a summer of miracles for you and me.

This is what I'm just calling miracles. Divine appointments,

divine connections, open doors, unexplainable events, wonders taking place.

Just calling it in. Why? Because the Word says that we're created in the image of God.

And if God calls things that be not as though they were, you and I can call

things that be not as though they were. Say amen to that. 1 Peter 3,

10 and 11 in the Passion Translation. 1 Peter 3, 10 and 11 in the Passion.

It says, For the Scriptures tell us, Whoever wants to embrace true life and

find beauty in each day must stop speaking evil, hurtful words. I want to pause there.

If you want to embrace true life.

And find beauty each day. What do you have to do?

You're going to have to stop speaking evil, hurtful words over yourself.

Stop saying I'm stupid.

Because then you'll start believing that. Start saying I'm wise.

I'm kind. When you're tired, stop saying I'm so tired.

Start saying let the weak say what? I'm strong.

We're to be counter-cultural in our communication.

When I'm tired, I'll tell them, hey, man, it's been a tired day.

And then I'll switch over and I'll tell, my wife will tell you,

I'll walk around the house saying, I am strong.

I am strong. Well, she knows I'm probably tired, but I'm calling for strength.

Amen. I'm strong. I'm strong. I am strong.

And when I'm not feeling well, I don't say I'm so sick, that flu bug bit me and got me.

Oh, that's hurtful words against you, and I'm going to be down for the rest of the year.

That flu is going to take me out. I'll tell you what. I get it every,

every flu season. I get both strands, every season. Don't say that.

Start saying health and healing and divine protection is over our family.

I'm strong. Say that. I'm strong.

I begin to call these things. I'm strong. I'm strong. I'm strong.

Let the weak say I'm strong. When I'm lacking financially, let the poor say what?

I'm rich. I'm rich. I have more than enough.

I've got excess. I've got more to give to somebody else. Well,

you crazy. You don't look like you're rich.

I don't care what you think. I am rich.

And I'm not just talking about money.

Amen. I got more energy, more wisdom. I've got more knowledge.

I know what to do when I don't know what to do.

Why? Because I'm calling for it.

I'm calling for it. Scripture says that we can call things that be not as though they were. Amen.

This is how you experience true life.
