CHANGE YOUR WORDS, CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Isaiah 57:18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. (v19) “I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,”Says the Lord,” And I will heal him.”

God said I create (the word create means to form, fashion and mold like a potter…) I listen to what you say (create formed fashioned) the fruit of your lips.

How do you get God to work in your life? How do you activate God’s miracle power?

God said I have linked my creative, miraculous power in-separately to the words you speak into your life...

I create whatever you keep speaking...

I create I form I fashion I mold what you constantly consistently pray for confess and praise for...

Whatever you dare to utter ( the word fruit means utterance…) I create the utterance of your lips ...

What you speak, if you speak it and you keep holding to that confession...

There is a verse in the Bible that says,” Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. ( Hebrews 10:23 )

Man has the power to speak, talk to confess...

Man is God’s only creation that He made that can talk… Just like God...

He spoke the world into existence.

There is no other creation, the animals can’t talk.

you say a parrot can … it can repeat words, it can’t believe in it’s heart and speak with its mouth...

we’re not talking about saying what you want, but when you find something in the scripture and you believe it in your heart and then you begin to speak it...

no matter what you see I believe this Book and what it says,” Certainly not! let God be true but every man a liar. as it is written: “That you may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged.” The Bible says...

And man is the only creation that God made that has the power to talk. To speak...

God took speech away from the serpent in the book of Genesis. When satan came in and he borrowed the body of a serpent, back then apparently serpents could walk and talk…strange… look at your Bible...

Then the serpent said to Eve. It (the serpent) could talk. Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.” (Genesis 3:4)

And when cursed it, He defeated it, He took the legs off and it crawled on its belly and then He took the power to speak away form that devil. (So the Lord god said to the serpent:” Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on you belly you shall go. Genesis 3:14)

If a demon’s going to talk he is going to talk through somebody now...

They have no legal right to say anything accept in your mind through suggestions and you don’t have to listen to it...

And God took speech away from that serpent but God has not taken speech away from man.

You are now a composite of everything you’ve been saying...

“Change your words and you’ll begin to change your life...”

If you want to become something different change what you are confessing...

Change what you are saying.

God said I gave you two ears and I gave you two eyes but I only gave you one mouth.

He wants you to listen twice as much as you talk and He wants you to watch and see twice as much as you talk. (gladly we do not have two mouths.)

Have we had enough trouble out of the one mouth that God gave you…?

Words change the atmosphere of your life.

Hebrews 13:15. Remember Isaiah 57:19 … I created the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” Says the Lord, And I will heal him.” THEN (H13:15) Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

It’s not that you speak positive one day because you heard a sermon...

Secret: the fruit of my lips that God forms and fashions and creates in my future are the words that I praise Him with, that the fruit of my lips that the praise is the fruit of my lips and if i will continually pray, which is talk speak to God … and turn to God … and praise Him for what He’s doing that that is what He creates, forms and fashions...

Words are so powerful that the fruit of our lips is called praise. And the fruit of our lips is what God begins to form and fashion…

whatever we continually the text says… to praise Him for and pray for…

I wonder how many days we have wasted in not putting those seeds of success out there? God I praise you that my steps are ordered…( Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. )

I praise you that You are leading me and guiding me, the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord.

God I praise You that I know my God shall supply all I need… (Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.) And You’re setting up resources for the rest of the year, You’re going to have surprises down the road, I thank You that I am favored I thank You that I am blessed, I praise You God that I know that He that has begun a good work in me and in my family we may going through a rough time but He will perfect that which concerns me. (Psalm 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.)

what am i doing … that’s how you pray - don’t let sit back and let life hit you and hit you and hit you… with lock jaw...

He said I create I form I fashion the fruit of your lips!

And then He told you in the New Testament in Hebrews that the fruit of your lips is the continual praise you offer God!

It’s Life or Death what you speak…what you confess, continually...

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it (you) will eat its fruit.

God’s people have to get a hold of this revelation!

Mark 11:23 Jesus, Jesus said speak to the mountain. (For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea: and shall not doubt in his heart...

Jesus said talk to the mountain. Jesus said for surely I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea… what did He say … Say to the mountain … Talk to the mountain … your mountain knows your voice, talk to the mountain.

Whosoever shall say to this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea and not doubt in his heart but believe the things that which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever things he saith. ( Mark 11:23 but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.)

What are you saying about your situation, about that family member … what are you saying about the economy and you business (I’m probably going to lose everything) … what are you saying? SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN… AND SAY THE WORD OF GOD TO THE MOUNTAINS AND BELIEVE IT IN YOU HEART.

Why? because you serve a God of miracles… we serve a miracle mountain moving God and you either believe it or you don’t!

He can move the mountain of cancer, He can move the mountain of covid, He can move the mountain of financial disaste He can move the mountain of addiction! But you’ve got to open your mouth and begin to give God words, because He’s a Word God and He works with words...

Joel said … Let the weak say,” I am strong.” Joel 3:10. (qalat) … when your going through hell say,” I am strong.” (throw seeds)

I’m not quit’n I’m not falling I’m not failing I’m not going back to alcoholism,” I AM STRONG.”

When you start saying that God forms a new you in the future… My marriage is Strong…My children are Strong…My faith is Strong… My home is Strong!

I don’t care what I am feeling what I am sensing or what my emotions are screaming I believe this report (God’s Word)! Who’s report will you believe?

Everybody needs to get some fruit of their lips and praise God for victory! Victory in Jesus my Savior forever! He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming blood! He knew me and I loved Him and all my love is due Him! He plunged me to Calvary beneath the cleansing flood...

You understand the power of your words, the power of fasting negative faithless words it could change your life.

Three examples from the New Testament who got miracles because of what they said.

Mark chapter 5 the woman with the issue of blood she was sick she used all of her money going to doctors and they could not help her. And then she said within herself (Mark 5:28 For she said,” If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made will.”)

She had to say something… if i can touch the hem of His garmet I will be made whole… But the miracle didn’t start until she started saying it.

When she said it God said I was waiting on that, I’ll form it, I’ll fashion it, I’ll stop Jesus and 100’s of people are touching Him but only one of them said, “If I can but touch the hem of His garmet I’ll be whole.”

David and Goliath Old Testament: Your Bible says for 40 days and for 40 nights. (1 Samuel 17:16 And the Philistine drew near and presented himself forty days, morning and evening.) 1st thing in the morning Goliath put on his armor walked out onto the battle field and talked trash, humiliated the Hebrew God, humiliated the Hebrew people and talked trash. The 1st thing they heard in their tents as the sun came up was the voice of negative words curses and defilement of their God coming out of Goliath.

Then the Bible said as the sun was setting he has put his armor on and walked right back out. The devil pretty smart he said I’m going to get the first thought in them going to be negative and the last thought before they go to bed so I can make them toss and turn all night long… it’s going to be the words that I have the negative word from my Goliath…

Then what … little David shows up, the thing about David is that he was a worshipper. And in Ephesians 5 the Bible says,” Speak into your self some hymns some psalms spiritual songs and sing making melody in your heart unto the Lord. And so when your a praiser. (Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.)

You better not mess with a praiser, and he shows up and he hears this giant out there talking trash morning night, morning night and he can’t take it anymore.

And he asks this question (1 Samuel 17:26 … for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the Living God?)

This is funny to us but we understand that circumcision was a mark of the covenant in the Old Testament/Covenant.

God told Abraham circumcise all the male children on the 8th day of their life signifying that I have a covenant with them that I fight their battles. That I am their provider, that I am their source.

What David was saying (there is a Biblical way to curse somebody out…)

The power of David was what he was really saying was,”when I was only 8 days old and I recieved the mark of the covenant I want you to know that I have more power then that Goliath that’s standing out there talking trash, cause all of heavens angels stand behind the covenant of blood and the mark of the covenant.

And then he starts saying the same God that helped me kill the bear and lion. This is my confession: He will deliver you into my hand. (1 Samuel 17:46 this day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you…)

And he ran out and defeated Goliath… But not without the power of confession. What are you confessing?

The next example is the cirophinisean woman (meaning she was Gentile she was not Hebrew she was not Jewish she had no right to the blessing.) And Jesus even said to her when she said please Master my daughter is demon possessed...

If you think that satan is not targeting our young people with demonic spirits, demonic activity, demonic oppression, depression… suicidal thoughts, addictions, alcoholism, drugs, eating disorder… all these things are targeting young sons and daughters. Sexual immorality any and every way satan can destroy… low self-a-steam and hate yourself.

And this woman said I cannot get my daughter free, she is grievously vexed with an unclean spirit. And Jesus said it’s not right to give the children's bread to dogs…(Mark 7:27 But Jesus said to her,” Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.”)

She said but even the dogs get the crumbs Master… (Mark 7:28 And she answered and said to Him,” yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.”)

Jesus states: (great is this woman’s faith) ,”Because of this saying. Go your way woman!” ( Mark 7:29 Then He said to her,” For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”) That daughter that has driven you to your wits end that has made you think O’God will she ever be delivered will she ever be set free will she ever get straight will she ever get sober will she ever get on the path of life will it ever happen? “Because of what you said woman go your way the demon has gone out of your daughter: I have broken demonic oppression, possession and attack over your house!”

YOU CAN WALK IN THAT BEDROOM AND YOU CAN OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND YOU CAN PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND DEVILS HAVE TO GO!

(agree) We are not a bunch of victims… start marching around your house 7 times and start telling the devil you are leaving the premises… open your mouth and say this house is a house of blessing… this house is a house that has the blood on the door post… this house is an anointed house… and God’s presence will live in that house!

… IT’S THE FRUIT OF YOUR LIPS THAT HE FORMS… (There is only ONE worthy) … If you don’t praise Him for nothing He forms nothing, no change will come into your life if you just sit there.

… Why does God bless them and not me? What is coming out of your mouth?

There are 3 voices that talk to you

THE VOICE FROM THE PIT: that says things like disease. Your dying. Give up. Probably cancer. Is cancer. Is fatal. Trouble. Thunders, hell just thunders...

THE THERE IS THE VOICE OF GOD: WHICH IS HIS WORD. HEALING. HEALTH. HE’S SPEAKING PEACE. SPEAKING JOY. HE’S SPEAKING FORGIVENESS. HE’S SPEAKING EXCEPTANCE, just like I am He loves me. HE’S SPEAKING SALVATION. HE’S SPEAKING SUCCESS.

And then there is the 3rd voice: YOU. YOUR VOICE … Malachi verse 2:17 you have wearied Me with you words (You have wearied the Lord with you words; Yet you say, “In what way have we wearied Him?” In that you say,” Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delights in them.”)

I wonder if we have wearied God with our words…? MY STEPS ARE ORDERED OF THE LORD!

I think about 2 Kings 4 that widow woman when her son died the Bible said she was going to get to the prophet to tell him to come pray for her son and Gahazi the servant come and asked her 3 questions,”is it well with you?” (2 Kings 4:26 Please run now to meet her, and say to her,” Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?” And she said,” It is well.”) She had a powerful statement. IT IS WELL.

It is well, nothing can separate us from the love of God… it is well… no matter what… when the trumpet sounds… it is well… anything… it is well…

Christ in us the hope of glory! Is He in you? If He is then IT IS WELL.
