We are in the fifth and last message of the series : The Power of Faith
I have a question for you ? What have you changed in your life since the first message you have heard about the power of faith?
“Do what God’s teaching says; don’t just listen and do nothing. When you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourselves.”
James 1:22
The bible says : Be doers and not only hearers, if you just sit in church every a Sunday , listen and don’t practice what you listened you are just fooling yourself !
Are you using your faith ? Are you speaking differently since the first Word you’ve listened about the power of faith?
Why am I speaking about the power of words ?
Because It’s impossible to speak about faith without speaking about confession.
You can not separate Faith from Confession, you can’t separate believing from speaking!
What you speak – in another words – your confession is the number one way that you release your faith !
2 corinthians 4:13 speaks about the power of a faith filled confession.
2 Co 4:13 Mentions how this spirit of faith operates:
I believed and I spoke , we also believe and and therefore speak.
You cannot separate faith from confession! You can’t separate believing from speaking.
Speaking , using words is the number one way that you release your faith.
When you believe you need to speak in order to release your faith.
“By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.”
Hebrews 11:20-21 NKJV
In both cases , Isaac and Jacob spoke blessings over their children and grandchildren concerning their life in the future , concerning things to come , things that were not there yet !
Your words can be having an impact and an affect in your life , family , your children, in the earth !
Some people say to their own children:
you’re a dumb , you’re stupid, you’re useless , you always do everything wrong , you’re bad , you will never learn , you are a burden ,
Or you say about yourself:
I’m stubborn, I’m an idiot , I will never be able to do this ,
“Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her. 39 So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.”
Luke 4:38-39
Luke was a physician, doctor Luke mentioned that she had a high fever , and they asked Jesus if He could come minister over her.
Did you notice that Jesus didn’t pray for her ? The verse 39 said that Jesus rebuked the fever.
It’s interesting to see how many times Jesus ministered to the sick and the oppressed but never prayed for them!
It’s scriptural to pray for the sick.
But many times Jesus didn’t pray , He just spoke to them !
Your son lives go your way !
You have believed, let it be done according to your faith
Rise , take up your bed and walk !
Here Jesus rebuked the fever !
That’s not exactly a prayer !
Mark 11:23 is not prayer !
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
Mark 11:23 NKJV
Whoever say to the mountain, be removed, be cast in the sea.
He will have whatever he says ! That is not prayer!
It’s just you speaking to that problem !
There is time to pray but there is also a time to say !
Jesus stood over Simon’s mother in law and rebuked the fever !
He didn’t rebuked Peters mother in law , he was not talking to her .
He was not praying, Jesus was not asking to the Father for healing !
He was talking to the fever !
Jesus spoke to the fig tree
He spoke to the winds and waves
He spoke to a dead man , Lazarus.
Here he speaks to a fever !
Jesus was talking to a fever ! Jesus spoke to that fever and He rebuked the fever !
He said , fever get out of here or fever leave this woman, be gone.
He was talking to a fever ! Can fevers hear us ?
Yes , fever can hear ! Because that one left her !
If a fever can hear , a tree can hear , waves and wind can hear then a tumour can hear , problems can hear , allergies can hear , stomach ulcers can hear , migraines can hear , immune system problems can hear.
Jesus gave us authority and the right to use his name , He has given us the right to speak words and release our faith !
I’m born again Christian for more than 30 years and I’ve been preaching for 19 years and I have seen many people getting healed!
As I remember more than 10 people that had short legs were healed and I just said : in Jesus Name leg start growing ! And it grew !
My sister Juliana (Emanuel’s mother) she had a leg 8 cm shorter and she was healed !
I have seen growths (lumps) in the wrist and hands and I laid my hand and I commanded it to dry up and go away and they simply went down!
I have seen in my church back in a Brasil deaf people receiving healing.
The same happened with the fig tree , Jesus cursed and it dried up from the roots.
I believe in the Name of Jesus !
We believe in the power of our words .
I believe that I can speak in the name of Jesus and you also can speak and the problems have to obey you !
Remember that your faith works connected with your words !
If you have read the book of Proverbs you know that every chapter says something about your mouth , about your tongue , about your words .
Proverbs is called book of wisdom and you see the connection about wisdom and words.
You see the difference between the wise and the fool and the wise man is the one who use his word properly and the fool just says anything and doesn’t think about what he says.
The wise man understand that his words today set a course for his life tomorrow.
If you want something different than what you have been having you must begin to say something different from what you’ve been saying.
I want to read some passages in proverbs , but please get your Bible and read all these verses , because I have no time to explain all of them.
“You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.”
Proverbs 6:2 NKJV
Your Words will trap you ! Your word will put you in bondages , they will snare you !
“The words of a righteous man are like a spring of fresh water, but the words of the wicked only hide their violent plans.”
Proverbs 10:11
The fountain of life comes out of the mouth of the wise.
Death comes out of the mouth of the foolish.
“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.”
Proverbs 10:19-20 NKJV
Remember James says : Be quick to hear but slow to speak and slow to get angry !
The bible says that a person who just talks constantly is a fool.
“Evil people use their words to hurt others, but the words from good people can save others from danger.”
Proverbs 12:6 ERV
Can you see the power of your words ? Are you using your words to save and bless or to hurt people?
“Speak without thinking, and your words can cut like a knife. Be wise, and your words can heal.”
Proverbs 12:18 ERV
“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24
Words are medicine ! Speak kind words over your babies , over your children , over your husband, over your wife , to your friends , your brothers , sisters ,
“Intelligent people choose their words carefully. Those who know what they are doing remain calm. Silent fools seem wise. They say nothing and appear to be smart.”
Be quick to hear and slow to speak.
Proverbs 17:27-28 ERV
“Fools don’t want to learn from others. They only want to tell their own ideas. Fools hurt themselves when they speak. Their own words trap them.”
Proverbs 18:2,7
“A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.”
“He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.”
Proverbs 13:2,3 NKJV
Who open wide his lips or careless talk will have destruction but if you guards your mouth you preserves your life !
You are going to eat the fruit of your mouth, of your words !
“Gentle words cause life and health but gripping brings discouragement.”
Proverbs 15:4
The bible says we are supposed to do all things without murmurings, without complaining or disputing. Murmuring and complaining , will destroy your life.
“The heart of the righteous think before he speaks , but the wicked do not, and what they say causes trouble.”
Proverbs 15:28 ERV
The heart of the righteous ponders before answering but the wicked always cause troubles with their words.
The bible says if you speak without thinking you are fool because you are not thinking of the impact your words are having.
Jesus said Matthew 12:36 we will give account even for our idle words. We will have to be responsible for them!
“I tell you that everyone will have to answer for all the careless things they have said. This will happen on the day of judgment.” Matthew 12:36 ERV
Please , stop murmuring and complaining , stop criticising everything!
Stop criticising your brothers , sisters , church , son , daughter. Your Words of criticism only destroy you and those around you.
Also do not listen to people who come to you criticising others , or criticising the church ! Tell them, Sorry I don’t want to hear that !
Many people don’t realise but you let the enemy use your mouth and you are destroying your life , your family and your church and your future.
Your tongue has power over death and life! You are going to eat the fruit of your words !
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Proverbs 18:21
You need to always have in your mouth what the bible says about you !
The more you focus on yourself and on your words you will notice a lot of things you shouldn’t be saying.
Please , listen it :
You are today the results of the things you have believed and said all these past years !
The wise man and woman listening to this word today are going to set up their future by starting to speak good words today !
James 3:2-4 said : if only we could control our tongues we would be perfect !
He said just like a horse’s bit can control a big animal and a small rudder in the ship can control a huge ship.
If we change our words it’s going to start turning our lives around until they are completely changed.
The words you speak today bring the future you will have tomorrow, because speaking faith filled words causes all the promises of God to come to pass in your life.
“Your words can bring death or life; you will reap the consequences.”
Change your words and you will change your future !
We need to repent from our wrong words and we need to change our words !
The bible says our mouths speaks from what our heart are filled with !
We need to be filled with the Word of God and then we are going to start saying what the bible says !
God bless you.
