THERE IS POWER IN YOUR WORDS #4/8
THE 12 SPIES

1. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS MESSAGE
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
• Whatever you believe in your heart will happen – Mark 11:23
• Speak the same as God speaks – Joshua 1:8

The solution is to stop speaking negatively and break the power of negative words, in the name of Jesus.

Therefore, we must confess the word of God, following the examples of Jesus.

2. FAITH IS A WAY OF LIFE
Faith is not denying the problem.

Faith is not just speaking positively.

Faith is a way of living 24 hours a day.

3. THE 12 SPIES – Numbers 13 and 14
More than words, it’s the attitude of the heart. Attitude is how you react to a problem.

It’s not the problem that destroys a person, it’s not something external that determines success or failure, but rather the attitude towards the situation.

God promised them the Promised Land, but the spies didn’t believe; instead, they began to “slander” the land.

God was angry with the people because they murmured and doubted Him. This people ended up staying in the desert.

Only the tribe of Joshua and Caleb believed, and therefore they entered the Promised Land.

Today the same thing happens with many Christians – they murmur and doubt God and end up living a life full of problems.

People who fail = have Egypt (the world) in their hearts.

People who overcome = have a new identity in Christ (Jesus in their hearts).

Having Egypt in their hearts means they surrender their lives to Jesus, but:

– live like the world;

– speak like the world;

– act like the world;

– believe more in the things, people, and systems of the world.

The majority isn’t always right. Identify if you are in the correct tribe, so you can enter the Promised Land.

4. TYPES OF PEOPLE FACING A PROBLEM
a) Believes wrong and speaks wrong (negative)

b) Believes right and speaks right (positive)

The choice is ours. We are the ones who decide whether we will win (speak positively) or lose (speak negatively).
