YOUR WORDS CREATE!

YOUR WORDS HAVE THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH

   Life and death are in the power of the tongue

The words you speak are carriers of power.

Words have the power to create new possibilities or to destroy the good possibilities available.

Words have the power to build relationships or to damage them.

Words have the power to lift people up or to pull them down... Yourself included.

THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED WITH WORDS

   By the word of the Lord where the heavens made

    God does nothing without first revealing it to his prophets

 Universe formed at God's command

 By God's Word the heavens existed

WHAT WE MEDITATE ON CREATES OUR FUTURE

    From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks

 For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks

PLAN YOUR LIFE

DREAMS AND GOALS WITH OUT A DEADLINE OR DATE IS JUST A WISH that brings disappointment.

The dream is free but the journey isn't. TD Jakes

Run in such a way to get the prize

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. Michael Jordan

 Struggling with all God's might that is so powerfully at work inside me

It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.  TD Jakes

STRICT TRAINING

 Everyone who competes goes into strict training

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results. Michael Jordan

 Our struggle is not against flesh and blood

  Fight the good fight of faith

GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT

  Press toward the goal

A setback is a setup for a comeback. TDJakes

COMPETE ACCORDING TO THE RULES

  No crown unless you compete according to the rules

What are the rules...

  Word is lamp and light

Word is God's love letter

  Love

 Be devoted to each other  Honor above self

FINISH STRONG

  I have fought the good fight

  My food is to do the will of him who sent me

 Forget what is behind and run!!!

 More than conquerors

BE COURAGEOUS

DISOBEDIENCE OF SAUL

 Jonathan attacks the Philistines at Gibea

  Philistines now hate the Jews more than ever

 Philistines muster a MIGHTY ARMY...

3000 chariots

6000 charioteers

As many warriors as the grans of sand on the seashore

 Israelite army hiding in caves, thickets, rocks, holes, and cisterns.

 Samuel the prophet doesn't show up when he said he would

God will always test us to see what we will do

Even alow a man of God not to do what he said he would do....

 Troops dispersing

 Because of fear Saul sacrifices a burnt offering himself

Becuase of fear

He stepped out of protocal/ doing his own thing..

  Samuel shows up and the end of the sacrifice

  Obedience would have caused his kindom to last forever

  God has already appointed a new man,

JONATHAN AND HIS AMORBEARER

No swords or spears in Israel

No Word... Revelation ...

 Enemie roams about like roaring lion..

 Let go over to the Philistine outpost

Bozes = Shining

Seneh = Thorn

MARKS OF THE COURAGEOUS

BELIEVE GOD MORE THAN THE CIRCUMSTANCES

 God is able to save wether

 Be strong and courageous- I will go before you and be with you

 We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

WILLING TO STEP OUT IN FAITH

  Jonathan attacks Philistine outpost

,  Lets Go Conquer...

NEVER QUIT

9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

 Don't be weary in well doing at the proper time you will reap a harvest if you don't give up

13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.

 A TENTH OF A TITHE...

BE FIRST        A Giver / power of covenant What you make happen for others, God will make up it for you. God wants first!

1. GOD WANTS TO BLESS YOU

, vs13 Head and not the tail...

  God gives the power to create wealth

Solomon... Give you whatever you want

  All grace abound

toward God

  Rob God of his plan to bless us

2. GOD MUST HAVE THE FIRST

PRINCIPLE OF SOWING AND REAPING

 Seed time and harvest Reap what you sow

This was not an accident... He could have done it another way.

  Parable of sower sowing Word

 If you don't understand this, you wont understand

  God gives seed to the sower (money)

 A man reaps what he sows

Nobody is demanding that you invest for your future... But it sure would be wise!...... Likewise, the NT is not demanding you tithe... but it sure would be wise...

 GOD DEMANDS FIRST First tenth is devoted... Bring

CAIN & ABLE

- Cain --In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil... NOT FIRST FRUITS...

- Able fat portions from the firstborn

PAYING GOD 10% after you have paid your bills is not first and he will not recieve it!

 FIRST BORN

  FIRSTBORN …IT IS MINE

 All the firstborn belong to the Lord

  donkey – If you don’t give it to God you’re going to lose it anyway

First Born Must Be Sacrificed or Redeemed

Clean animal sanctifies the unclean

 The 10% redeems the 90% that is unclean

Jesus is God's First.... He redeems the rest...Jesus is God’s firstborn and he was sacrificed for the rest of us who are unclean. We are the unclean who were born into sin – so Jesus – the perfect lamb of God was a sacrifice for us.

  WE ARE BORN INTO SIN

Do you have to teach your children to be bad or were they born that way?

The First Fruits Must Be Offered to God

  first fruits must be brought to the house of the Lord

The spirit of antichrist will not allow you to buy and sell

ISRAEL, GOD'S FIRSTBORN - SACRIFICED

START HERE 04/15/18

Israel, firstborn son

  vs 15-16 Israel offered as firstfruits

 NIV Israel is first fruits

  Israel hardening of heart until full number of the Gentiles has com in.

  first born animal already belongs to the Lord

Jericho was the tithe...first fruits

 Honor with first fruits of ALL

 Jacob vows 10%

Show me your habbits and I'll show you your future

GOD IS NOT A GENE IN THE SKY (give a dollar get a hundred) BUT THE PRINCIPLES HE HAS SET UP WORK.

GOD CANNOT LIE.

TITHING, SACRIFICE AND CIRCUMCISION

Circumcision is a covenant with God and is a cutting away of the flesh

Cut a covenant

Covenent must be cut

  Israel (in a sense) was cut off for the sake of the gentiles...

Broken off 

(in a sense) Israel became sacrifice

Israel first fruits.

JESUS IS GOD'S FIRSTFRUITS OFFERING

Jesus is God's First...

 Gave only son

Jesus cut off.

 Jesus, lamb without blemish or defect

 Christ died, righteous for the unrighteous

 In him we have redemption..He redeemed us

I can not live for God and can bring my sin with me

Even God gave first fruits of his Spirit

 First fruits of the Spirit

 Gave gifts to men / First fruits of Spirit

 First fruits guarantees what is to come

 A deposit guaranteeing our inheritance

 Christ the first fruits of those being raised

 144K offered as first fruits to God and the Lamb

THE POWER OF FIRST FRUITS

 let my firstborn go or I will kill yours

Can't dedicate what already belongs to God

By faith Moses kept the passover so the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel

2kings 3:26-27 King of Moab offers firstborn son and the battle stops

"This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS FIRST

If you go and work and make $1000. 10 $100 bills, how do you know which one is the first?

The first one that leaves your hand...

3. TITHING & GIVING DECLARES THE GREATNESS OF GOD

Tithing declares honor to the One who can bless you

Honor the Lord with your substance/ first fruits of increase

  Tithing declares the greatness of God

Tithing declares our blood covenant with God

Abraham gives 1/10 of all the plunder to Melchizedek King of Salem

 Jacob gives a 1/10 of all after dream that he had on his way to Haran where his uncle Laban lived... 

Because of Tithing... Jacob was blessed during his stay with Laban.

EVERYTHNING HE TOUCHED PROSPERED

Everytime they set up stones it was for sacrifice

 Noah built an altar

 Abram built an altar

 Abram built an altar

26:25

Jabob's sacrifice was a tenth of all he would ever get

Jacob was faithful in his tithe through the good and the bad... and that is why he was blessed..

  God gives the ability to create wealth and so confirms his covenant.

 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also

4. WHAT YOU MAKE HAPPEN FOR OTHERS, GOD WILL MAKE HAPPEN FOR YOU

Give and it shall be given to you

Reap what you sow

For man to have friends, he must show himself friendly 

What you make happen for others, God will make up it for you.

I can live for God and can bring my sin with me
