THERE IS POWER IN YOUR WORDS #2/8
POSITIVE SIDE

1. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS MESSAGE

Faith is a way of living 24 hours a day.

We need to use spiritual laws to overcome:

• Words are seeds – Mark 4:26
• Death and life are in the power of the tongue – Proverbs 18:21
• Everything you believe in your heart will happen – Mark 11:23

• Speak the same as God speaks – Joshua 1:8

Biblical examples of speaking negatively include the case of Zechariah and the 12 spies.

The solution is: stop speaking negatively, break the power of negative words, and resist fear;

2. CONFESS THE WORD

Confessing is:

– declaring something with your mouth;

– it’s not just “declaring” sins to God;

There are two sides:

– The negative side of confession is also biblical – 1 John 1:9
– The positive side – saying the same thing God says: health, finances, etc. – Joshua 1:8

Confessing the Word of God is:

– sowing;

– calling things that are not as though they already were;

– speaking the same thing God speaks;

Do not govern your life by feelings and emotions. Speaking the word is not lying.

3. EXAMPLE – ABRAHAM

God promised Abraham a son – Genesis 15:3-6
Since the woman was barren, he had a son with the maidservant – Genesis 16;
God changed the names of Abraham and Sarah – Genesis 17:4-19

4. EXAMPLE – SHUNAMMITE WOMAN

2 Kings 4:8-37

More than words, it is the attitude of the heart.

The attitude toward the situation determines success or failure.

Faith is not:
– denying the problem;
– talking about the problem;

Faith is speaking about what you want to reap.
