It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak,
Pero teniendo el mismo espíritu de fe, conforme a lo que está escrito: Creí, por lo cual hablé, nosotros también creemos, por lo cual también hablamos,
1. If you’re going through a difficult time right now, I want you to know that speaking words of faith makes all the difference between staying under and going over.
2. It’s often the missing step for believers who are doing a lot of things right.
3. They could be walking in truth and living lives of faithfulness and diligence.
4. They may be tithing and sowing and still not prospering as much as they should or could.
5. The truth is, they won’t receive all God desires for them until they check what is going on right under their noses.
Our Words Have Power!
Our Words Have Power!
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
Respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Tened fe en Dios. Porque de cierto os digo que cualquiera que dijere a este monte: Quítate y échate en el mar, y no dudare en su corazón, sino creyere que será hecho lo que dice, lo que diga le será hecho.
1. That is faith.
2. We will never be able to skip the step of saying words of faith from the heart if we are going to see the fullness of God manifest in our lives.
3. It’s believing and saying that causes things to come to pass.
4. It’s believing and saying that causes us to increase.
5. The believing part is the faith part.
6. Our words must have faith behind them for them to be faith words.
Our words are our faith speaking—either good or bad.
Our words are our faith speaking—either good or bad.
1. I realized all my words are vital to my future.
2. Not just when I pray, but those things I say all the time are opening or closing doors for God to work in my life.
3. What I say everyday does affect my future.
4. Everything I say should be in line with God’s Word and my desires.
5. In consistently speaking faith words lies the power of an overcoming life.
If you’re saying “nothing’s happening,” then nothing’s happening.
If you’re saying “nothing’s happening,” then nothing’s happening.
1. If you’re feeling sorry for yourself and saying, “This always happens to me,” and “I don’t know why God’s not doing something about it,”…then it will and He will not.
2. What you really believe is what you say when the pressure is on.
3. If you want to find out if you are in faith or not, listen to what you are saying in the privacy of your own home.
4. And know this: Even behind closed doors in the dark of the night, what you say matters.
5. Release faith with your words and give Him something to work with.
If you’re not getting results, don’t murmur and complain.
If you’re not getting results, don’t murmur and complain.
1. Instead, come to grips with the fact you may need to change what you’re believing and saying.
2. You are not going to say one thing and reap another.
3. So don’t say, “Nothing’s happening.” Instead, say “I have it and I’ll not be moved until it manifests, in Jesus’ Name.”
4. You cannot talk decrease and expect increase.
5. Your words are your sickle. They bring to you what you say.
What’s in Your Heart?
What’s in Your Heart?
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
¡Generación de víboras! ¿Cómo podéis hablar lo bueno, siendo malos? Porque de la abundancia del corazón habla la boca. El hombre bueno, del buen tesoro del corazón saca buenas cosas; y el hombre malo, del mal tesoro saca malas cosas.
1. Here Jesus is telling us that our words reveal what we have been consistently filling our hearts with.
2. As we fill our hearts with the Word of God and believe it, faith will overflow into our words.
3. Those words filled with faith have power and will affect our circumstances.
4. Out of the good treasure of our hearts, good things will come forth.
If you don’t have good treasure stored in your heart—if you’re not believing the right things—you can change what you believe.
If you don’t have good treasure stored in your heart—if you’re not believing the right things—you can change what you believe.
1. Simply go to the Word, see what God says about your situation and declare it.
2. Filling your heart with God’s Word establishes God’s kingdom in your heart.
3. It gives you His words of dominion.
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
La lámpara del cuerpo es el ojo; así que, si tu ojo es bueno, todo tu cuerpo estará lleno de luz; pero si tu ojo es maligno, todo tu cuerpo estará en tinieblas. Así que, si la luz que en ti hay es tinieblas, ¿cuántas no serán las mismas tinieblas?
1. In other words, what you give your attention to is critical.
2. If we spend time in the Word allowing it to flood our hearts, Psalm 119:105 says it will be a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths.
3. But if we are filling our hearts and minds with worldly information—watching worldly television and movies, reading worldly books and magazines—our hearts will not be filled with light.
4. Only by renewing our minds with the Word of God (Romans 12:2) will our hearts be flooded with light.
As you renew your mind with the Word, you learn to think like God thinks and you’ll make right decisions—you’ll be blessed.
As you renew your mind with the Word, you learn to think like God thinks and you’ll make right decisions—you’ll be blessed.
1. If God truly rules in your heart, if He is Lord of your life and you do what He says, then the kingdom of God (His dominion, presence, power, glory and anointing) will continually flow out of you and take authority over the things coming against you.
2. That’s God’s plan of dominion.
3. Words of authority are words of faith from the heart.
A lifestyle of faith is the lifestyle of a true believer.
A lifestyle of faith is the lifestyle of a true believer.
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
Porque en el evangelio la justicia de Dios se revela por fe y para fe, como está escrito: Mas el justo por la fe vivirá.
1. Faith pleases God because it makes a way for Him to work in our lives.
2. It connects us to His supernatural anointing.
3. Believers today can walk in the same favor Abraham enjoyed. Galatians 3:29 declares that “if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Verses 7 and 9 say, “Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.”
It takes faith for the blessings of God to manifest in our lives.
It takes faith for the blessings of God to manifest in our lives.
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
a fin de que no os hagáis perezosos, sino imitadores de aquellos que por la fe y la paciencia heredan las promesas.
1. God’s Word will come to pass in your life if you will put it in your heart and in your mouth.
2. Be patient.
3. Don’t dig up your seed with words of unbelief.
4. Satan comes to steal the Word that has been planted in you.
5. He’ll try to make you quit. But when pressure comes, recognize the source and the reason.
6. Persecutions and afflictions arise for the Word’s sake
7. The enemy tries to get you to believe something other than what God has said in His Word.
8. But don’t quit believing!
9. Don’t quit confessing the Word.
10. Don’t let pressure cause you to speak negative, unbelieving words that give the enemy license to operate in your life.
11. And don’t focus on the circumstances or talk about them.
12. Instead, talk to them.
Be a faith person—someone who not only says the right things in church on Sunday, but who consistently says the right things all the time.
Be a faith person—someone who not only says the right things in church on Sunday, but who consistently says the right things all the time.
1. Even in challenging circumstances, a person of faith believes God’s Word is true.
2. Even when it looks hopeless, talk the Word.
3. The things you continually say are the things that come to pass in your life.
***IN CLOSING***
God hears all of our words.
God hears all of our words.
And He loves to hear words of faith—words that release the provision He so earnestly desires to shower on us.
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.
“On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.
Entonces los que temían a Jehová hablaron cada uno a su compañero; y Jehová escuchó y oyó, y fue escrito libro de memoria delante de él para los que temen a Jehová, y para los que piensan en su nombre. Y serán para mí especial tesoro, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, en el día en que yo actúe; y los perdonaré, como el hombre que perdona a su hijo que le sirve.
1. Not only is God listening.
2. He is making note of those who believe Him and speak about His goodness.
3. God calls them His jewels, His treasure.
4. That’s the group you and I can belong to if we speak words of faith from our hearts and obey those words with our actions!
If wrong words come out of your mouth, repent and get back on the truth of the Word.
If wrong words come out of your mouth, repent and get back on the truth of the Word.
1. When you speak words that are crosswise to what you’re believing for, repent and say, “I break the power of that in the Name of Jesus.
2. I’m believing the Word of God, and I’ll not accept that opposing word coming out my mouth. Father, forgive me.”
3. Make all your words agree with the Word of God. Speak faith words that give your heavenly Father the freedom to do what pleases Him most.
4. To bless you with the abundance of His life and provision.
5. Give God the pleasure of entering your words of faith in His book of remembrance.
6. Let Him note you are one of those who believe Him and speak about His goodness.
7. Give Him words of faith from your heart.
