MESSAGE
THERE IS POWER IN YOUR WORDS #8/8
ABRAHAM – FATHER OF FAITH

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. POSITIVE SIDE – CONFESSING THE WORD

Confessing is:

– declaring something with your mouth;

– not just “declaring” sins to God;

– sowing;

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

– speaking the same as God speaks;

We must imitate/follow the example of God/Jesus.

4. EXAMPLE OF ABRAHAM

Romans 4:18-22

Abraham was old and his wife was barren.

Humanly speaking, he could not have children.

But Abraham did not pay attention to this, nor did he pretend that the problem did not exist. Abraham looked to God’s side – 2 Corinthians 4:18 and 2 Corinthians 5:7

Steps for God to give Abraham a son:
-God promised a son – Genesis 15
-God made Abram imagine = 4th dimension – Genesis 15:5-6
-God changed Abram and Sarai’s names – Genesis 17
-Abraham had faith in God – Genesis 17
-God gave him a son – Genesis 21:1-3

5. PRACTICE

We must confess God’s word in a personalized way.

Confess God’s word for the following areas:

-health: Isaiah 53:3 and 4, Psalm 103;
-prosperity: Philippians 4:19, Deuteronomy 28:8;
-security: Psalm 91; – Victory: Romans 8:31;

– Overcoming fear: 2 Timothy 1:7;
– Problems and worries: 1 Peter 5:7
