THERE IS POWER IN YOUR WORDS #4
THE 12 SPIES

1.SUMMARY PREVIOUS MESSAGE
We need to use spiritual laws to win:
– 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 come to pass – Mark 11:23
– Speak 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.
Then we have to confess God’s word, following Jesus’ example.

2.FAITH IS A WAY OF LIVING
Faith is not denying the problem.
Faith is not just positive talk.
Faith is a way of living 24 hours a day.

3.THE 12 SPIES – Numbers 13 and 14
More than words is the attitude of the heart. Attitude is how you react to a problem.
It is not the problem that destroys the person, it is not something external that determines success or failure, but the attitude towards the situation.
God promised them the Promised Land, but the spies did not believe him, but began to “defile” the land.

God became angry with the people because they murmured and doubted him. They ended up in the desert.

Only the tribe of Joshua and Caleb believed and so they entered the Promised Land.
The same thing happens to many Christians today – 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 succeed = have a new identity in Christ (Jesus in their heart).

Having Egypt in their hearts means that they give their lives to Jesus, but:
– live like the world;
– speak like the world;
– act like the world;
– believe more in the things, people and system of the world.

The majority is not always right. Identify whether you are in the right tribe, so that you can enter the Promised Land.

4.TYPES OF PEOPLE FACED WITH A PROBLEM
a)Believes wrong and speaks wrong (negative)
b)Believes right and speaks right (positive)

The choice is ours. We decide whether we will win (speak positive) or lose (speak negative).
