The Word Will Prevail

Good evening. Welcome to Voice in the Wilderness. I'm Don

Noble at Pure Heart Ministries, and I welcome you with

exceedingly abundantly and overflowing joy. Well, this is a great

day in the United States of America. This is the

inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, forty seventh President of

the United States. I am pre recording this, so I

don't have the pleasure of watching the ceremony or any

of the activities of the day, but I just wanted

to let you know that I'm very excited about President

Trump being inaugurated, and I'm glad that we are through

and done finally with the former regime and all their cohorts,

and it's going to be good for the country, for

the nation. I have hope. It was pretty rough these

last four years to have hope, and anybody that says

that it was a good four years is not telling

you the truth. So I think we have something to

look forward to. I think the Lord has given us,

he has been gracious to give to give us a

window of opportunity to reach the lost, to advance His

kingdom as quickly as effectively as we possibly can. So

I don't know about you, but I plan to take

advantage of that. I love God's Word, and last week

I mentioned that I was going to be doing part

two of my Prophetic Word for twenty twenty five. Unfortunately,

I had a lot of personal circumstance answers this last

week that has kept me from being able to do that.

I will share that next week with you. But today

I'm going to focus on I think one of the

most key principles in the Bible that Jesus spoke to us.

You know, Jesus spoke very simple things to us believers.

He didn't make it complicated, and those those simple things

are principles that we should live by. So I'm going

to start in Mark, the Gospel of Mark, chapter eleven.

I'm looking at verses twenty through twenty two through twenty four,

reading out of the New King James first. Then I'll

be switching over to the amplified Classic Bible. But Jesus

gave us a command. In verse twenty two, it says

Jesus answered and sent to them, who's them? He was

speaking to his disciples. He said, have faith in God.

I mean, you can't get more simple than that, have

faith in God. So then he goes on for assuredly,

I say to you, whoever says to this mountain be

removed and cast into the sea, and does not doubt

in his heart, but believes those things he says will

be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I

say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,

believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Now,

a lot of people have really come against the faith,

teachers and preachers, and by saying, you know things like well,

you know you can't proclaim it and name it and

proclaim it and get what you want. I kind of

beg to differ with those criticisms. Jesus says, whatever things

you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them,

and you will have them. Now we're not talking about foolishness.

We're not talking about Oh Lord, I want a Mercedes.

I'm believing for a Mercedes. Now we're talking about spiritual things. Yes,

we're talking about everyday things. God does care about all

the little details. You know. He cares about our pets,

he cares about, you know, our life, our health, what's

going on. So that does refer to spiritual things, but

it also refers to things that have to deal with us. Now,

maybe you need a car. And if you believe for

a car, and you ask your Father in heaven for

a car, believe that you receive the car, you're going

to have a car. You will get a car. Of course,

it's not going to drop down from heaven, and of

course you're going to have to pay for it. But

you never know, because God has given cars to people before. Yes,

So I just want to go back to the first

part where Jesus said, I say to you, whoever says

to this mountain. Now it's clear that Jesus did not

say whoever prays to this mountain. He says, whoever says,

whoever speaks to this mountain, be removed and be cast

into the sea. Now is he talking about a real mountain. No,

He's using a metaphor for a mountain in our life.

It could be a mountain of sickness. It could be

a mountain of disease. It could be a mountain of pain.

It could be a mountain of a lawsuit. It could

be a mountain of an angry neighbor causing great havoc

in your life. It could be a variety of things.

It could be someone stole your car. Yeah, so it

can be a mountain, can be a massive obstacle in

your life that needs to be removed. So how do

you remove the obstacle? How do you deal with that obstacle?

You speak to the mountain, You command it be removed

and cast into the sea. And then that's number one.

So number one, when you have this massive obstacle, you

have this hindrance, you have this difficulty. Number one, speak

to the mountain, tell it to be removed and be

cast into the sea. Number two, Jesus says, do not

doubt in your heart. Okay, so that's the second requisite

for helping to move the mountain out. You cannot doubt

in your heart. You can't have unbelief. You can't speak

to the mountain and sixty seconds later say, oh, I

don't know if that's really I don't know if that's

really gonna happen, because you have negated the whole thing.

So speak to the mountain. Number two, don't doubt in

your heart. Number three, but believes those things he says

will be done, He will have whatever he says. So

number three is you have to believe that whatever you

say will be done. Will be done. You'll have whatever

you say. So A speak to the mountain. B. Don't

have doubt in your heart. Three. Believe that exactly what

you have commanded to happen is going to happen. Amen.

So it's ABC one two three. That's how that's how

it works. This is not complicated, folks, This is really

not complicated. Don't make this something it isn't. These are

Jesus' words. They're powerful and and he kind of puts

the icing on the cake in verse twenty four. Therefore,

I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe,

believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

You don't go and get on the phone with a

friend the next day and say, you know, I pray this,

but I'm not seeing anything happen. It's probably not going

to happen. You know. That's where we fall short. That's

how we negate the initial prayer. Now, even though Jesus

didn't use the word pray, that speaking the word is prayer.

It's a form of prayer. That's how we pray. We

speak to these things. Amen. So I want you to

take advantage of these scriptures because I know from my

own personal life and experience, especially that I've had this

past week. I've had to do exactly what this scripture says.

I have had to speak to the mountain. Now. I

want to turn to Hebrews chapter four, because Jesus is

telling us to speak these words. He's saying, He's telling

us exactly what to do, speak to the mountain. Right, Okay,

Hebrews Chapter four, Verse twelve, I'm reading out of the

amplified Classic says this, for the word that God speaks

is alive and full of power, making it active, operative, energizing,

and effective. It is sharper than any two edged sword,

penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life,

the soul and the immortal spirit, and of joints and

marrow of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and

sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes

of the heart. Wow. So when you are speaking God's

word and you are speaking to the mountain, God's word

is alive. See we say that, but we don't really.

It doesn't really register somewhere in our brain that this

word is alive. Like humans are alive, animals are alive.

God's word is alive. It's alive and full of power,

and it's very active. It's operative. It means it's working.

Operative means it's working. God's word is working in your situation.

It's energizing. It's it's energizing your faith. When you speak

God's word to a problem, it energizes your faith. Your

faith grows, your faith gets energized and excited, and hope

comes alive in you. And it's effective. Now, how about

that God's word is effective. That means it's going to work.

It's not like you know, drinking milk that's three months old.

It's that would make you sick. It'd be useless, it

be ineffective. But God's word is not any effective. It's effective.

It's sharper than a two edged sword. I'm telling you.

God's word is like a sword. Ooh. It cuts between

your soul and your spirit. It divides your soul and

your spirit, even to the deepest part of your nature,

which is your bone marrow. You can't get any deeper

than bone marrow. And then the Word of God says

that it exposes and sifts and analyzes and judges the

very thoughts and purposes of the heart. I can tell

you that God, God's word to me. It's so, there's

nothing more amazing, nothing more amazing to me in the

world than God's word. Nothing, nothing, because nothing exists in

this world, in the temporal world, nothing exists like God's word.

And nothing can work in this world like God's word

because it's alive, full of power, it's active, it's operative,

it's energizing. Just think about that. It's very easy to

get discouraged when you're just overwhelmed by circumstances. I was

overwhelmed this week by a so circumstances. I didn't stay overwhelmed,

but the initial insult was overwhelming to me. And then

you know, you just have to take a moment kind

of you know, get your act together and think, wait, wait, wait,

wait wait. You know, I serve a mighty God and

I have God's word in me, and so this thing

is not going to overtake me. It's not going to

defeat me. And so when you speak God's word, you see,

you are energizing your faith. And faith is amazing. Faith

moves mountains. And that's really when Jesus said that speak

to the mountain. You're speaking faith, you're speaking out of faith,

and faith will move that mountain and it will be

removed and cast into the sea. So I like the

amplified classics, this specific scripture in this Bible because it's

telling all about what the word of God is active, operative, energizing, effective.

Then then as we read God's word, as you're reading

God's word, then this part comes into focus. It starts exposing.

It'll expose the motives of your heart. Uh huh, the

motives of your heart. Did you say what you said

with a pure motive or did you have an alterior motive.

Did you do what you did because you had the

right motive or you had an ulterior motive. So it

will expose the motives of your heart. It will sift,

it will sift you. You'll start thinking, uh oh, maybe

maybe this isn't so good. Analyzing, analyzing your words and

deeds to see are they in line with God's principles

his word. So if your actions are out of alignment

and you're reading God's word, I assure you it's analyzing

you and it's going to show you. It will show

you and judge you, and then you have to deal

with it. Remember part one of the Prophetic Word was

here and obey. So when you read God's word and

it's doing this to you, and it's judging the very

thoughts and purposes of your heart, then you have an obligation.

If he tells you to make a change because it

was out of alignment, then you have to obey. So

you're hearing and obeying. You're doing the very thing that

God's words says that it does. Now you put all

this together, and we're going to go to Isaiah fifty five,

and we're going to go to verse eleven. These sets

of scriptures, these Mark eleven, twenty two, Hebrews four to twelve,

Isaiah fifty five eleven, these all go together. So I'm

reading this out of the amplified Classic. Again, it says,

so shall my word my is capitalized, So the Lord

is speaking through the prophet. So shall my word be

that goes forth out of my mouth, the Lord's mouth?

It shall not return to me void, the Lord saying,

when the word goes fourth out of my mouth, it

does not return to me void, return to me void,

without producing any effect, nor is it useless. But it

shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it

shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Now this is this is like this is like the

whipped cream on the icing with the cherry on top.

So my word, God says, cannot return without producing any effect.

You speak God's word, it has to produce something. It

has to produce an effect, and it has to produce

an effective effect, because it says, it's not useless, and

it's going to accomplish that which the Lord pleases and

the purpose of it, and it's going to prosper. It's

going to prosper in the thing for which I scent it.

So three things there when you speak God's word. Number One,

it cannot return void. It cannot return void. It has

to produce an effect, and i'll say a good effect.

Number Two, it has to accomplish what God pleases, because

he is his word, right John One One in the

beginning was the word, and the word was with God,

and the word was God. So he's the word. So

you're speaking his word that's active, alive, full of power, operative, energizing, effective.

And three, it has to prosper in the thing for

which I sent it. So let's just say you have

some sickness, some disease, something physical that's plaguing you. Okay,

you find all those healing scriptures. Exodus fifteen twenty six.

I am the Lord that healeth thee by your stripes.

I was healed. Uh, he sent his word and healed.

He sent his word and healed me Psalm one O three.

He forgives my iniquities and heals all my diseases. So

when I speak his word, those are scriptures, those are

his word. I know that that word is going to

start working in me because it has to produce a

positive effect. It has to accomplish what the Lord pleases

because it's his word. And then it's going to prosper.

The word's going to prosper in my body, and my

body is going to respond. The sickness, the disease is

going to have to respond to that word. It has to.

It can'tnot do anything else. Right, God doesn't lie. His

word is truth. I've said it many times. You can

read all through He said, I'm the Way, the Truth,

and the Life. So when you face a certain something,

you also continue to speak God's word. You speak those

scriptures pertaining to your situation. First, you tell it to go.

You speak to the mountain, command to be removed and

cast into the sea. You don't have doubt in your heart,

and you believe everything that you have said is going

to happen, is going to happen, and you'll have it.

Jesus said. Then you find scriptures that have to do

with your situation, and if you need healing, this is

the way it goes. Because you speak these scriptures. They

are medicine. The word says, it's a medicine to our body.

It's medicine to us. It brings healing to all our

flesh Proverbs three. God's word brings healing to all our flesh.

So you speak God's word, and you know that it

has to produce something positive. It has to accomplish what

God pleases. God pleases for you to be whole, well

and healed because his word says so, and it has

to so your body will prosper, your body will improve,

your body will respond to God's word. Amen. So that's

those three sets of scriptures all go together. They're all intertwined.

And I would encourage you to spend time meditating on

Mark eleven twenty two through twenty four. Meditate on Hebrews

four twelve, Meditate on Isaiah fifty five eleven. Spend time

meditating on these things until you until you can get

this in your spirit, and then you know. It's like

writing a bicycle the first time. You know, you fall

off a couple times, or you know it's difficult, But

once you start writing that bicycle, nobody, you don't even

think about it the next time. You just hop on

and go. Well, that's what we want to do here.

We want to exercise our senses. We want to exercise

our faith and exercise our mind to know these scriptures,

live these scriptures so that you can deal with all

the things that are going to come flying at you. Amen. Well,
