New Series: Living in Power - Viviendo en Poder
Greetings family!
Welcome to Redemption Church.
Today we are starting an exciting series called “LIVING IN POWER”.
It is important to understand that this series is targeted toward those who have a relationship with God through Jesus.
Without that relationship, everything we talk about is useless.
If you would like to give your life completely to Jesus, confess that you are a sinner and believe that He is the Savior.
Ask Him to forgive your sins and surrender to Him as King.
The Bible says in Romans 10:9
Come talk to one of the leader’s afterward if you have questions or have made this eternal decision.
We would love to rejoice with you and help you get started.

To start off our series on Living in Power, let’s take a look at
Power of Words - Poder de las Palabras
I want to start with some scriptures about words:
In Hebrews 11:3, we see the worlds were framed by the WORD OF GOD.
En Hebreos 11:3, vemos que los mundos fueron estructurados por la PALABRA DE DIOS.
All of creation was made not by the hands of God, but by the word of God.
We see this also in Genesis.
The Bible says God made you and me in His image.
There are no other species like us.
*Did you ever wonder why no other species of living thing use words?
There is power in your words.
Not power to make things appear like God does.
Let’s read the next passage to see more.
Proverbs 18:21 tells us that our tongue/words contain the power of DEATH AND LIFE.
Proverbios 18:21 nos dice que nuestra lengua/palabras contienen el poder de la MUERTE Y LA VIDA.
With your words, you are able to build up and to tear down.
*Have you ever had someone say something mean to you?
…they spoke death to you?
Do you still remember it?
Does it still hurt?
Paul tells us how we must use our words.
Paul exhorts us to not allow corrupt words to be spoken.
(Ephesians 4:29)
Pablo nos exhorta a no permitir que se hablen palabras corruptas.
(Efesios 4:29)
This includes foul language, dirty jokes, lying, deceiving, tearing others down.
What is Paul telling us we should use our words for?
Edifying
Encouraging
Building up
Edifying words are NECESSARY to GIVE GRACE.
Las palabras edificantes son NECESARIAS para DAR GRACIA.
He calls it “Necessary”.
Because we need to hear words like this!!!
Encouraging words is one of the ways we give grace to others.
Sword Analogy - Analogía de la espada
The Word of God is LIVING and POWERFUL
La Palabra de Dios es VIVA y EFICAZ
English: The what of God?
The Word of God
Spanish: La que de Dios?
La Palabra de Dios
ANALOGY
My sons have been so excited about swords.
I would say, “Oh, that is a need sword.”
and they would say, “Dad!
That is a katana”, or “that is a kutless”.
They knew many different types of swords and even why they were made the way they were made.
Some blades are for killing people (WW2 Blade)
Some are for kutting bushes (Machete)
Some are for being silly (Big pocket knife)
Some are for krafting (Xacto knife)
Some are for surgery (like doctors use)
You would not want a Doctor to use a pocket knife for surgery.
You would not want to go to war with an Xacto knife.
A skilled swordsman or doctor, who knows how to use these tools apply them with precision for the purpose they were made for.
Would you be okay with me doing surgery on you without any training on how to use a medical blade?
That would be a very bad choice.
The Bible called the Word of God sharper than a double-edged sword.
La Biblia llama a la Palabra de Dios más cortante que una espada de doble filo.
It is precise, better than a skilled doctor.
That Word of God is Jesus.
He is in you and has given you the Holy Spirit to teach you both to USE and RECEIVE words powerfully.
Powerful words are SPOKEN and RECEIVED.
Las palabras poderosas se HABLAN y se RECIBEN.
The Power of Spoken Words - El Poder de las Palabras Habladas
The words we speak to others will either be life-giving or death-inflicting.
Las palabras que decimos a los demás darán vida o infligirán muerte.
Learning how to use words well, we need to start with our heart.
Luke 6:45
Luke 6:45 tells us that our mouths speak what our hearts are treasuring.
Lucas 6:45 nos dice que nuestra boca habla de lo que tesora nuestro corazón.
So, if you allow evil things to be treasured in your heart, you will not be able to overflow words that are life-giving.
This is why we are so adamant about what we watch on TV, what we listen to on the radio/streaming service.
There are Jesus-loving Christians that fill their heart with so much earthly junk that they get frustrated with bad things happen and they don’t respond well.
Keys to Life-Giving Words: Claves para las palabras que dan vida:
Guard your Heart/ Cuida tu corazón
Measure your words/ Mide tus palabras
Learn the time - place - and manner to speak.
Guard your Mouth by 3 “life gates”/ Guarda tu Boca por 3 “puertas de la vida”
Will it glorify God? ¿Glorificará a Dios?
Will it edify the hearer?
¿Edificará al Oyente?
Is it spoken in love?
¿Se habla en el amor?
The Power of Receiving Words - El Poder de Recibir Palabras
We talked through the keys to life-giving words, but we are not usually affected by the words we speak (directly).
We are affected by the words we receive.
We receive words from: Recibimos palabras de:
