1. This is my Bible.
I am what it says I am,
I have what it says I have,
I can do what it says I can do.
Today, I’ll be taught
the Word of God,
I boldly confess,
My mind is alert,
My heart is receptive,
I’ll never be the same.
I am about to receive,
The incorruptible, indestructible,
ever-living seed of the Word of God.
I’ll never be the same,
In Jesus’ Name.

2. Colossians 1:22 Learn to see your-self as God sees you
and believe what His Word declares about you

3. The Power of Speaking The Word
Part 1

4. Notice the emphasis on the word “say”
Mark 11:12-14, 20-23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23
Notice the emphasis on the word “say”

5. Hearing – Romans 10:17 Action – James 1:22-25 Confession – Mark 11:23
Elements of FAITH
Hearing – Romans 10:17
Action – James 1:22-25
Confession – Mark 11:23

6. He shall have whatsoever he saith
Spiritual Principle
He shall have whatsoever he saith
Words set spiritual forces in motion to bring what you say to pass

7. A Spiritual Principle / Fundamental Truth
Many times a break-down in our faith occurs because of the words we speak
There is “power” associated with our words
“Speaking” is the #1 action in releasing our faith
2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

8. Matthew 12
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35   A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36   But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37   For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

9. What Jesus said about our words
What’s in your heart will come out your mouth
We are accountable for our words
Our words justify or condemn us

10. James 3
8   But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9   Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10   Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear Hebrews 11:3

12. Creative Effect of Words
God’s Word is alive and is a creative force
Man is created in the image of God and his words follow this same spiritual principle
(but not in the same dimension of course)

13. Spiritual Law Concerning Our Words
Calling things that be not as though they were – Romans 4:17-21
Our words, when agreeing with God’s Word cause ministering spirits (angels) to hearken unto them – Heb 1:14; Psa 103:20

14. We frame our world with our words
The wise person will be shaping their tomorrow with good words today
“Calling those things which be not as though they were” Romans 4:17
This IS NOT calling things which are as though they are not

15. A Major Reason Why We Fail To Receive from God
Proverbs 6:2
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Faith filled words establish what God has said
Negative words establish the lies of the devil
Examples

16. Scriptures Concerning Our Words
The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. Proverbs 10:11
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. Proverbs 12:18
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:3
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. Proverbs 21:23

17. Summary You can have what you say (good or bad)
Words set spiritual forces in motion
What you say reveals what is really in your heart
We will be held accountable for our words
Our words should be in agreement with God’s Word
