She's surprised a burglar in her kitchen 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.359 late one night, she was home alone, didn't have a weapon. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.200 She didn't know what she was going to do. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.919 She finally thought, I'll quote a scripture verse. She shouted 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.239 out acts two thirty eight. The burglar suddenly froze in 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:24.840 his tracks and wouldn't move. 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.680 Soon the police arrived. They were amazed that a woman 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.519 with no weapon could do this. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.080 They asked the burglar, what was it about that scripture 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:35.200 that had such. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.800 An effect on you? He said, scripture? What a scripture? 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:39.400 I thought? 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.839 She said, she had an axe in two thirty eight? 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.360 Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.360 I am what it says I am. I have what 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.000 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.880 I can do. Today I will be taught the word 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.160 of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.600 heart is I will never. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.880 Be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.080 I want to talk to you today about miracles in 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:09.720 your mouth. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.920 Our words have creative power. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.680 When we speak something out, we're giving it the right 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.000 to come to pass. And it's one thing to believe 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.480 that you're healed. But when you say I am healed, 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.040 that's what releases the healing and it's not enough to 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.359 just believe you're blessed. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.840 Believe you have favor. The scripture says, the spirit of. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:37.160 Faith is in our words. When you say I am blessed, 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.240 I have favor. I'm coming out of debt. Angels go 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.960 to work. Good breaks will find you. The right people 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.240 will track you down, and you can think positive. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.920 You can believe for favor. That's good. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.680 But nothing happens till you speak. The miracle is in 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.440 your mouth. There is healing in your mouth, There is 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.160 freedom in your mouth, there. 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.800 Are new levels in your mouth. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.800 If you're fighting in illness, it's easy to talk about 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.880 the medical report and how bad it looks, and I 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.960 don't think I'll ever get well. When you speak that, 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.240 you're calling in more sickness, more defeat. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.880 You need to change what you're saying. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.239 The scripture says, let the weak say I am strong. 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.719 It doesn't say, let the week talk about the weakness. 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.360 Let the week call five friends and discuss the problem 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.920 that's giving life to the negative. 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.800 Now, I'm not asking you to deny the facts. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.559 Just say what God says about you. Your report should 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.920 be God is restoring health back into me. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.880 The number of my days he will fulfill. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.760 My mother wouldn't be here today after being diagnosed with 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.359 terminal cancer in nineteen eighty one if she had. 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.719 Not done this. It's not enough to just not say 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.560 anything negative. You have to be on the offensive all 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:01.200 through the day. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.240 I would hear her quoting scriptures when somebody asked how 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:05.960 she was doing. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.880 It was never a sad song. It's hard. I don't 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.520 understand it. I'm tired. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.719 Her report was, I am healed with long life. God 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.640 will satisfy me what he started in my life. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.599 He's going to finish. She didn't feel healed. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:26.080 She felt weak, but she said I am strong. The 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.320 medical report said she was done, but she said. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.000 I will live and not die. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.080 She got in agreement with God and released the miracle 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.760 in her mouth. Thirty eight years later, she's still alive 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:44.479 and healthy. Are there miracles in your mouth waiting to 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:45.200 be released? 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:46.320 Joe? 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.039 When I break this addiction, then I'll tell people I'm free. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.159 You have to tell them first. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.960 Every day you need to declare I am free, I 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:56.720 am clean. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:58.479 This addiction does. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.839 Not control me. Every time you say I am free. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:07.920 In the unseen realm, change or broken strongholds are loosed. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.280 Freedom starts heading your way. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.760 You keep speaking it, and you will. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:17.200 Become what you're saying. You are prophesying your future. When 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:22.000 David faced Goliath, a giant twice his size, it wasn't 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.279 a coincidence that he looked at him and said, this day, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.719 I will defeat you and feed your head. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:30.680 To the birds of the air. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.720 He wasn't just being positive, He wasn't just talking smack. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.800 He understood this principle. The miracle was in his mouth. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.599 He had to release the victory. What if he would 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.760 have said, Wow, I thought I wanted to face Goliath, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.240 but look how big he is. I don't have any armor. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.360 I don't feel qualified. I don't think I have a chance. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.440 If he would have talked defeat, we wouldn't know who 0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.080 David was. If he would have just thought positive, I 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.039 believe I can do it. 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.640 I believe I've got what it takes, he wouldn't have 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:04.880 defeated Goliath. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:10.000 He knew he had to speak it, I will defeat you. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.239 You may have a giant in your path, a giant 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.080 of debt, a giant of depression, a giant of sickness, 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:18.160 like David. 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.520 You need to announce to that giant. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.080 I will defeat you. You will not keep me from 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.480 my destiny. The forces that are for me are greater 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.960 than the forces that are trying to stop me. The 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:35.000 scripture says, if any two of you agree anything you 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.120 ask according to God's. 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.360 Will, it will be done. There's power in agreement. 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:45.080 What's interesting is David didn't have anyone to agree with him. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.400 His brothers looked down on him, thought he was too small. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.840 His father saw him as less than like he'd never 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:53.760 amount to much. 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.160 King Saul didn't think he had a chance. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.880 He even tried to give David his armor, so at 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.400 least it wouldn't be so pain aimful. Nobody was there 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.040 to encourage David to say, hey, David, you can do this. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.760 We believe in you. You've got what it takes. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.720 There are times like with David, you can't find anyone to. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:14.560 Agree with you. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.160 But I've learned if you'll come into agreement with yourself, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.600 if you'll get your heart and mouth in agreement and 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.280 start speaking victory, declaring that you are well able, that 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.440 you are blessed, that you will defeat the addiction, then 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:37.240 even though others don't agree, because you're in agreement with yourself, 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.920 you will see giants defeated. You will accomplish dreams that 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.920 others thought were impossible. Now, don't be discouraged because nobody 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.320 is cheering you on and nobody. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:49.840 Sees what you see. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.640 Sometimes God puts things in your heart that other people 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:59.040 don't understand, seems too big, too impossible. Instead of encouraging you, 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.200 they'll do just the opposite. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.120 You think you can beat that sickness. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.720 I don't know. My grandmother died of the same thing. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.679 You still think you're going to have a baby after 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.120 all these years, You're kind of getting up there. You 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.920 really believe you can build that orphanage, write that book, 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.559 lead your company in sales, move into that nice neighborhood. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.400 I just don't see it. The good news is they 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.920 don't have to see it. You don't need them to 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.319 agree with you. Come into agreement with yourself. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.800 Get your heart and words going in the right direction. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.400 Start talking like it's going to happen. You have to 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.000 say it before you'll see it. When David went out 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.600 to face Goliath, all the Israeli army and all the 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.160 Philistine army were watching. Here was this teenager with no 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.640 military training, no experience, young. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.719 Small, look like a boy. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.880 In front of all of them, he had the audacity 0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:01.319 to say, with confidence, Goliath, I will defeat you. Some 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:06.160 of them made fun, ridiculed. Even Goliath laughed and said, 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.560 am I a dog that you've come at me with 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.040 a sick sending? 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.280 This little boy, Is that all you've got? 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:17.000 The people around you may not see the greatness in you. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:22.280 They'll judge you by the outside, by your size, your experience, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:27.000 your background, your nationality. Don't let them talk you out 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.240 of what God put in your heart. Do like David, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:35.000 keep speaking the victory in spite of what the naysayers think. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.240 Keep declaring your vision in spite of what experts are 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:39.800 telling you. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.200 They don't know what God put in you. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.760 Don't let their negative words keep you from speaking positive, 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.880 faith filled words. When we were trying to acquire this place, 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:55.280 the former Compact Center, it was like David versus Goliath. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.319 The company we were up against was the largest taxpayer 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.240 in Texas, a huge real estate company. There were plenty 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.400 of people that didn't think we had a chance, not 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.480 just our critics, but even some of the experts. Deep down, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.280 I knew God put this in my heart. So I 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.559 announced to the congregation that we were going to purchase 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.719 the Compact Center. Over the next three years, we had 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.560 all kinds of opposition, plenty of times where it didn't 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.520 look like it would ever work out. Now, I was 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.760 tempted to talk about what I saw. Our opponents are 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.120 so strong, they have more funds. I don't see how 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:35.880 this can happen. 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.560 But I understood this principle. We give life to what 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.960 we speak. If you start. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.640 Speaking the negative, agreeing with the doubt, talking about how 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.760 big the problem is, you are giving life to the 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:50.600 wrong things. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.920 Your words can keep you from your destiny. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.479 In the Scripture, an angel told a man named Zachariah 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.839 that his wife was going to have a baby. He 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.760 was surprised because they were too old to have children. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.840 Zachariah said to the angel, are you sure, look how 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:09.520 old we are. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.280 The angel said. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:16.120 Yes, Zachariah, it will happen. But because you doubted, you 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.079 will remain silent and not be able to speak until 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.760 the child is born. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.240 That's how powerful words are. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:29.280 God knew if Zachariah went around talking defeat, I don't 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.240 see how we're too old, it would have kept. 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.400 The baby from being born. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.320 God has put dreams and promises in your spirit. That 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:43.040 may seem too big, impossible. You don't have the resources, 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:48.640 the experience, the connections. Don't do like Zachariah and talk 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.319 yourself out of the miracle. Get in agreement with God. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.199 Dare to declare what he says about you. Maybe you're 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.480 facing an illness. There's no sign of it getting better. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.400 You're right where Zachariah was. How can this happen? The 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.000 medical report says, no way. God has done his part. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.160 Now it's up to you, Father. Thank you that you're 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.360 my healer. Thank you that you can do what medicine 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:19.640 cannot do. Perhaps your dream seems impossible. The odds are 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.200 against you. It's easy to get negative. Dismiss it. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.959 No turn it around. Father. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.120 Thank you that you're opening doors no man can shut. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.560 Thank you that you're putting me at the right place. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.240 Thank you that what you promised is on the way. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.640 Sometimes you're saying the right words, you're speaking faith, but 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.920 nothing's improving. There's no sign of it getting better. The 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:48.200 scripture says, hold fast the profession of your faith. It 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.120 implies something's going to try to take it away. It's 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.560 like a tug of war. The enemies on the other 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:58.080 end trying to pull away what God put in your heart. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.160 You may have had that sickness a long time. Hold 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.040 fast your profession. Don't get talked out of it. Keep 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.760 speaking victory, I am healed, I am whole. 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:11.760 You may be in debt. 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:17.679 You keep speaking abundance in trouble, Keep speaking favor in addictions. 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:19.120 Keep speaking freedom. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.040 Every time you declare the victory, You'll getting closer to 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.960 the miracle. Every time you say I am healed, you're 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.760 moving toward healing. Every time you say I am blessed, 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.360 you're moving toward increase promotion. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:35.120 Every time you. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.640 Say I am free, I will not be controlled by 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:43.000 this addiction, by this anger, by this alcohol. You are 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.400 moving toward freedom, breakthroughs, wholeness. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.000 It may not have happened yet. Keep releasing the miracle. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:55.760 Hold fast your profession. See words are like seeds. When 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.760 we speak something out, they take root, they begin to grow. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.560 The Scripture says you will eat the fruit of your words. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.720 Fruit is not fully developed overnight, but eventually you're going 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.960 to become what you're saying. Are you planting good seeds? 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:19.440 Are you speaking faith filled words over yourself, over your dreams, 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.720 your children, your health, your finances. The odds were against us, 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.840 but I kept declaring, the Compact Center is ours. I 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.960 would tell the congregation it won't be long till we're 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:35.280 down there at our new facility. Men came up after service, 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.600 he said, Joel, I've been out of town. Congratulations. I 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.360 didn't know the deal with the Compact Center went through. 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.560 I said, well, officially it hasn't gone through yet, but 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.640 I know it's just a matter of time. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:50.000 What am I saying? 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.240 You have to talk like it's going to happen, not 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.680 I'm going to be healed one day. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.520 Lord, thank you that I am healed. What Joel? 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.240 This sounds good, but I'm struggling. I can't seem to 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.720 get ahead. The problem is you're planning the wrong seeds. 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.840 The fruit of those words is lack, not enough mediocrity. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.600 Why don't you start declaring? I am surrounded by God's favor, 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.560 Goodness and mercy follows me all the days of my life. 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.280 Promotion is looking for me, good breaks are tracking me down. 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.200 I'm excited about my future. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:29.320 You do that. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.600 Get ready for doors to open that you couldn't open. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.880 Get ready for compact Centers to come across your path. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.360 Get ready for God to show out in your life, 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:44.520 David said Psalm thirty five. Let them continually say, let 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:49.160 the Lord be magnified, who takes pleasure in prospering his children. 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.520 They were supposed to go around continually saying this seemed 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.280 like if they said at once, that would be good enough. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.000 But something powerful happened. 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.320 When you go through life not talking about how you 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.040 never get good breaks, how your back. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:07.960 Will never quit hurting. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.480 Instead, all through the day, God takes pleasure in prospering me. 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:18.480 New doors are opening. I am strong, healthy, energetic. My 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.359 children are mighty in the land. As for me and 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.000 my house, we will serve the Lord. When you continually 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.639 say that you are releasing miracles. Joseph was the prime 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.119 minister of Egypt for many years. When he was about 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.880 to die, he made his family promise that they would 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.960 take his body out of Egypt and have him buried 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.679 in the Promised Land. The scripture says he was so 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.480 sure that God was going to bring the Israelites out 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.919 of Egypt that he confidently spoke of. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.480 It before it happened. 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.119 There should be some things God put in your heart, 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.320 like Joseph, you confidently speak of. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.280 It before before it happens. 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.760 There may be no sign of it right now, but 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.280 down in your spirit, you know you are going to 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.360 get well. You know you're going to meet the right person. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.879 You know your family's going to be restored. Now, do 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.200 like him, speak of it before it happens, not after, 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:20.879 not when things. 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.600 Begin to improve. You have to release the miracle. It's 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:25.320 in your mouth. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.879 Psalm ninety one says, I will say of the Lord, 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.600 he is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.800 I trust. Then it lists all these great things that 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.919 will happen. God will shield you from evil, he will 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.840 protect you from enemies. But then a few verses later 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.560 it puts a condition on it. Verse nine says, if 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:54.080 you say the Lord is your refuge, then no harm 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:58.199 will overtake you. Then he will give his angels charge 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:02.960 over you. If you don't say it, it's not going 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:08.840 to happen. Something supernatural occurs. When you say, Father, thank 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.880 you that you're my protector, thank you that you're my provider, 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.239 my healer, my waymaker. Thank you that you're bigger than 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.520 this problem. Thank you that you're bringing dreams to pass. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:24.399 When you say it, the creator of the universe goes 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.520 to work In the scripture, a teenage girl named Mary 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.359 became pregnant, not by a man, but by a word 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:37.080 from God. An angel appeared. Mary, you are highly favored. 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.000 You're going to conceive, have a baby without knowing a man. 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.520 He will be the Messiah, the son of God. When 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.280 God wants to create, he doesn't use material things. 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:49.560 He uses words. 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.960 Mary could have looked at the angel and said, no way, 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:57.679 that's never happened before. Instead, she said, be it under me, 0:19:58.280 --> 0:19:59.560 even as you have said. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.199 She got in agreement with God. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.840 She used her words to confirm what she heard, not 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.840 to debate what she heard. When God puts a promise 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:11.800 in your heart. 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:12.880 Just to agree with it. 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.920 The scripture says, by his stripes, you were healed. 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.760 Don't debate it. I don't feel healed. 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.680 The medical report hadn't changed. Do like Mary, Lord, thank 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:24.040 you that. 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.960 I am healed. Be it under me, even as you 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:27.560 have said. 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.120 God says, because you keep him first place, you will 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.720 lend and not borrow. You will be above and not beneath. 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.720 Don't debate it. I never get good breaks. My boss 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.120 doesn't even like me. Lord, thank you that I'm prosperous. 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.720 Thank you that I have more than enough. Thank you 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.480 that you have blessed me, so I can be a blessing. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:53.560 It's not complicated just to agree with God. You can't 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:57.439 talk defeat and have victory. You can't talk lack and 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.080 have abundance. You can't talk sinness and have hell. 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:03.280 The miracle is in your mouth. 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:08.280 Genesis, chapter one, the earth was without form and void. 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.520 God said, let there be light. There was light. This 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.800 happened on the first day of creation. 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.959 It wasn't until the fourth day that God created the 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:21.040 sun and the moon. 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:23.720 That means for three days. 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.600 Whether it was a literal day of twenty four hours 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.919 or whether a day was like a million years. 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.320 For three or those days, there was light without the 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:33.560 sun or the moon. 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:38.640 When God speaks, his words are so powerful things will 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.080 happen where there is no explanation. 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:46.480 How can you have light without a source? God is supernatural. 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:50.280 When he speaks things over your life, they may not 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.280 be able to be explained. The medical report said that 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:57.560 my mother had no chance to live back in nineteen 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:00.680 eighty one, but God said, you will. 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.640 Live and not die. God has the final say. 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:10.639 Medically speaking, it couldn't be explained. The only explanation is 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:15.080 we serve a God who is all powerful. God will 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:16.679 speak things to your. 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:18.919 Heart that don't make sense to your mind. 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.600 Every thought will say, there's no way you'll never get well. 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.639 There's no way you couldn't reach that level. Do, like Mary, 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:28.679 get in agreement with God. 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:30.160 He can give you. 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:34.680 Light without the sun, water without rain, healing where there 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:39.360 is no source in the natural, no explanation. If you'll 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:43.080 agree with what's in your spirit and declare what God 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.400 says about you, God will do things that are unusual, 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:53.080 uncommon promotion, healing, breakthroughs that you can't explain. That's God 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:56.919 giving you light without the sun. God making things happen 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:00.639 that shouldn't have happened. Now, don't talk yourself out of it, 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:05.560 talk yourself into it. Like Mary, this seems impossible, but 0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:06.640 God be. 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.000 It under me, even as you have said. 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:14.000 His words caused a dead man Lazarus, to come back 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:18.680 to life. His words caused leprosy to disappear. His words 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:20.520 open prison doors. 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:23.520 For Paul in silence. His words are about to. 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.280 Break chains that have held you back, open new doors, 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:32.440 thrust you further than you've imagined. When the Israelites were 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.600 headed to the Promised Land, they were in the desert 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:39.360 with no water to drink. God told Moses to take 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:43.200 out his staff and strike this rock. When he did, 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:47.680 water came gushing out, no explanation in the middle of 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:50.720 the desert. Suddenly they had this fresh, clean water. 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:51.760 They were thrilled. 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.639 Thirty nine years later, they were in the desert again, 0:23:56.240 --> 0:24:01.080 same situation, no water. This time God told Moses to 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.760 speak to the rock. Moses got his staff out and 0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:08.280 did it the old way, struck it, water came out. 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:13.320 But God told him because he disobeyed, because he struck 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:16.320 the rock and didn't speak to it, they wouldn't go 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:20.840 into the Promised Land. This was symbolic the first time 0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:24.840 God told Moses to strike the rock that represented the 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:29.240 old Covenant, where the people had to work for God's goodness, 0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:33.800 keep all the laws, sacrifice animals to cover their sins. 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:38.040 If they didn't perform all these requirements, they wouldn't be blessed. 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.080 The second time, God told Moses to speak to the 0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:47.200 rock that represents the New Covenant where we live. Jesus 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:53.439 is the rock where the water of life flows, salvation, healing, freedom, abundance. 0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:59.439 Once Jesus was crucified. In this symbolism, Moses didn't have 0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.919 to strike the rock again when he struck it twice. 0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.920 God said, in fact, no, the price has been pained. 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.040 Jesus has been crucified. 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:12.120 Now we don't have to work for our salvation. Try 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:15.840 to be good enough, earn God's love, earn his forgiveness. 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:19.360 This new covenant is not based off of works, it's 0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:20.439 based off of grace. 0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.679 You don't have to strike the rock. Just speak to 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:24.120 the rock. 0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:29.239 Declare your healing, Declare your freedom, Declare your dreams are 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:30.040 coming to pass. 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:33.440 Jesus said, if you have faith as. 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:37.480 Small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:41.640 be removed, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible 0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:46.760 to you. He ties nothing being impossible to speaking to 0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:51.280 a mountain. Are you living under the old covenant, thinking 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:54.399 you have to strike the rock make everything happen in 0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:58.520 your own strength. We're living under a better covenant. In 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:00.440 this new covenant, all you have. 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:01.360 To do is speak. 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:05.399 Maybe you've been working hard, doing all you can to 0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:06.399 keep things going. 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.480 Your heart is to be your best, but it's a struggle. 0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:14.000 Those things that are stressing you, If you'll start speaking 0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:17.640 to them, you're going to come into an anointing of ease, 0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:20.960 where the water is going to flow without all the effort. 0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:25.280 Don't do like Moses and keep striking it. God is 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.280 saying I've paid the price. 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:31.639 Speak to it. Declare you're blessed. Declare you have favor. 0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:35.240 In situations where you worked and couldn't make change, they 0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.560 will begin to supernaturally turn around. 0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.560 What God promised you is en route. 0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:44.400 Healing is on the way, promotion is on the way, 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:49.359 breakthroughs ideas, creativity. You are close to your miracle. Things 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:53.800 you've been believing for, contracts, real estate, businesses, that house. 0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:55.840 It is on the way. Now. 0:26:55.840 --> 0:27:00.760 I speak to the unborn promises in your spirit, dreams 0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:01.840 that you think are dead. 0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:05.080 You will not abort them. They are still alive. 0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:11.080 A birth is in your future, new relationships, new opportunities. 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:14.080 New levels friends. The miracle is in your mouth. 0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.960 Get an agreement with God and declare what he says 0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:21.000 about you. Let me help you get started. Will you 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:25.879 say this after me. I am blessed, I am prosperous, 0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:32.760 I am healthy, I am free, I have the favor 0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:39.439 of God. My children are mighty in the land. My 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:46.480 dreams are coming to pass. New doors are opening, problems 0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:52.880 are turning around. I'm excited about my future. I will 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:56.480 become all God's created me to be. 0:27:58.080 --> 0:28:01.520 In Jesus' name. If you receive it.
