Thank you for being in the 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.080 house of the Lord today. There's a story in the 0:01:55.120 --> 0:02:03.840 Bible about a woman who was sick for twelve long years. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:09.680 She had a condition that caused her body to lose blood, 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.800 and it left her frail and weak. She went to 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.519 all these different doctors, but no one could help her. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.160 She spent everything she had, but instead of getting better, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.440 the Bible says she got worse. But one day she 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:32.919 heard that Jesus was in her town, and she got 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.320 up off of where she was and she got out 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.520 into the crowded streets with her frail body, and she 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.359 is described to be the woman. 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:47.560 Who was pushing through the crowd trying to get to Jesus. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.639 Now, there was a crushing crowd that day, and she 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.200 was one of those people trying to get to Jesus. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:01.840 She made her way to Jesus that day, and she 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:11.200 was miraculously healed. Jesus has power to heal you. Jesus 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:17.160 has the power to deliver you. Jesus has the power 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.000 for anything that you need in your life. And so 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.600 many of you already know this story, and it's a 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.920 miraculous story. But what I want to look at is 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.760 what she was saying to herself as she was dragging 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.160 her weak body through the crowd. The Bible says that 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.880 she was saying, if I could only touch the hem 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.720 of his garment, I'll be healed. Now, you got to 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.240 get the picture of this. This woman was very ill 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.080 in her body, She had little strength, she was frail. 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:58.480 There was people everywhere, and she continued to say to herself, 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.880 if I can only get to Jesus, if I can 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.400 only get to Jesus. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:05.560 You see, she had to. 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.360 Not only push through all the people that were on 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.760 the streets that day, but she had to push through 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:17.039 the crowded thoughts in her mind, thoughts that said, you're 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.280 never gonna get well. Why do you think Jesus can 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.240 heal you? No one else has been able to help 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.720 you all this time. She had to push through the 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.400 opinions of the friends that maybe she had been around, 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.200 like darling man. 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.880 You've tried so hard, maybe you should just give up. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.320 See, not only did she have to physically fight that day, 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:44.520 but she had to mentally find the thoughts to keep. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:49.680 Her words going in the right direction. Thoughts create words. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.839 She had to find the right thoughts so she could 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.599 get the right words out of her mouth. And those 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:01.040 simple words were, if I could only get to Jesus, 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.719 if I could only get to Jesus. You see, when 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:10.120 she released those words, she was releasing her faith. Those 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:16.720 were faith filled words. Those words gave life to her body. See, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.760 she really didn't have a chance, but because of what 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.839 she continued to say to herself, she got to where 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.839 she needed to be, and that was at the very 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.920 edge of Jesus's garment. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.800 That's all she needed, and as soon as she. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.400 Touched him, the power left him and it went into 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.760 her body and healed her. 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.640 You see, her words got her where she needed to be, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.640 close to Jesus. 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.120 And can I say this today, We are going to 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.279 have to do the same thing as this woman does. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.240 We're gonna have to push. 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:02.880 Through the crowded thoughts, self defeating thoughts that life. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:03.800 Would try to tell us. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.919 And we're going to have to arrange our thoughts where 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.040 we can speak the right words out so that we 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.880 can get to where we need to be. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.760 And where we need to be is close to Jesus. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:24.200 See, we can't allow our thoughts to push us around. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.840 We've got to decide that we're going to push our 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:28.600 thoughts around. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.560 That's exactly what she did. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:31.839 You know. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.280 It's interesting because sometimes when you're physically tired or physically 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.359 sick in your body, it's hard to find the mental 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:45.159 capacity to almost pray. But this shows us so well 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.479 that she was able to arrange her thoughts where she 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.159 could just utter that simple phrase out of her mouth, 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:58.040 and those words literally gave life to her spirit. The 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.240 Bible says that the spirit of the man's stains the man. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.839 See when you utter words of faith and victory. It 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:10.080 goes into your spirit and it charges your physical body. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:11.360 Words are powerful. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:20.840 Words are containers of power, and we've got to understand 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.680 that we get to choose what we think, and we 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.800 get to choose what we say. Yeah, all day long, 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.400 we're gonna have thoughts bombarding us, you know, thoughts of 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.000 all kinds, no matter. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:34.480 What we're doing. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:42.000 That guy over there just yawned. I think he's bored. Oh, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.960 somebody's moving. I guess they're leaving. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.440 Those are thoughts. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.760 Those are thoughts that will come to your I got 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.480 that person, yon. They must not like what I'm saying. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:51.880 They must be bored. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:57.200 We all have fifty to seventy thousand thoughts coming at us. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.840 According to researchers, how many thoughts are say is that. 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.480 We've got to learn that we don't have to rest 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.840 on self defeating thoughts. We don't have to rest on 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.240 the thoughts and opinions of other people. We can rest 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.160 on the thoughts we choose to rest on. We can 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.640 allow those to take dominion in our life, and then 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:25.680 through those thoughts, our words will line up. It says 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.680 in Genesis one three that in the beginning God saw 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.560 this earth. It was just dark and void. He looked 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.960 at the earth and he spoke these words, let there 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:44.560 be light, and there was light. God spoke light, and 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.280 there was light. Now. The most amazing thing about that 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.560 is is when you think about it, this earth was. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.160 Created by a word. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.040 The DNA that is embedded in this earth was God's 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:58.920 spoken word. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.200 That is what's sustaining this earth. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:03.320 See. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.040 God established something there. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.960 He established a pattern for us to follow, and that 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:09.520 is that. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:18.120 Our words cause a response. Our words carry weight, they 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.480 cause things to happen. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.880 God said that you can create life or you can 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.360 create death by the mere words that. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:29.160 Come out of your mouth. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.720 The most interesting thing is you can't see the words 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.120 coming out of my mouth, can you? But my words 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.480 can create a reality that I can see. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.720 And that's what we have to understand. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.840 They may be invisible, but they are creating at all times. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:48.559 We can't throw them around. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.600 We just can't toss them around like they don't mean anything. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.840 Not only to the people around us, our families, but 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.440 we can't allow words to be tossed around in our 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:07.600 own life because our words have a huge impact on us. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.160 And when we begin to get our words about ourselves right, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.800 we'll be able to get the words about everyone else right. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.360 But too often we. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.960 Allow our thoughts, self defeating, limiting thoughts to circulate on 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.120 the YouTube of our minds, and we dwell on these 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.640 negative thoughts. And you know, they not only make us unhappy, 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.680 but they don't allow us to become everything God wants 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:33.360 us to become. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.240 They don't position us for success. 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:43.439 See, whatever that woman was facing, she did not let 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.560 it get the best of her. That woman, when you 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.120 think about it, somehow, by the grace of Almighty God, 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:56.640 had a champion's mentality. See, she had a winner's mentality. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:02.840 That woman overcame an overrode all the negative voices in 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.520 her life to find faith filled words. 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.920 You can truly say that woman was a champion. 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.119 After twelve long years of no signs of any improvement, 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.520 that woman finally got to where. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.320 She was supposed to be. She got close to Jesus 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:20.920 and she. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:25.280 Pulled the very power out of him by what she said. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.560 Jesus recognized it, He said, who touched me? He looked 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.160 at her and said, woman, what do you believe in? 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.320 I mean, because your faith just made you whole. It 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.559 pulled the power out of me listen. If we can 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:42.600 stop long enough to recognize the thoughts that are trying 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.480 to limit us, if we can stop long enough to 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.400 change those thoughts and speak the right. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.800 Words, we're pulling the power right out of Jesus. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:59.160 Every time you speak faith filled words, the power of 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.440 Jesus has come into your life. You're getting closer to 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.319 where you need to be. God is drawing you closer 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:12.560 and closer. You know, it's interesting because no one was speaking. 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.160 Words of faith over her. The doctor certainly didn't. They 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:16.960 sent her away. 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.880 No, she didn't get to come to Lakewood Church and 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:26.800 here Joel bless her every day. No, she had to 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.120 find it within herself, by the grace of God. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:31.600 And some of. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:36.000 You you probably can say, I've never had anybody speak 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.679 anything over me that's positive, words of encouragement. When I 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:44.280 grew up, man, people talked down to me, discouraging things 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.559 to me. Maybe some of you were facing a situation 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.880 where you're in the middle of a bunch of negative 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.559 people with negative words. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:54.360 That lady was. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.280 But can I tell you those things can end today 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.600 because you don't have to wear anyone's words. You have 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:07.560 the final say, you cast the last vote, that you 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.040 get the last words. 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.559 You can put a stake in the ground right now. 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.520 Because you have the power of choice what you're gonna 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.840 allow to think about and what you're gonna allow to 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.880 come out of your mouth. It's really not that difficult 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.360 if you listen to this lady's story. All she said was, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.760 if I can only touchy, if I can. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.920 Oh those thoughts. But the doctor says you can. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.960 But if I can only touchy. Man, my boss is 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.439 being so mean to me. Well that's okay, because I'm 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.920 the head, not the tail. Oh man, these finances aren't 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:42.560 looking good. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:49.320 That's all right. Jehovah Jahra is my provider. I mean, man, 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:50.880 I've been put down so long. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.360 I don't even know if I have any self confidence 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:54.280 or self worth. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.000 That's all right. I'm made in the image of Almighty God. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.520 I'm his masterpiece. I'm the apple of his eye. A man, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:02.400 you can't do that. 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.960 You're not talented enough. Oh no, no, no. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.079 God has filled me with everything I need to live 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.800 a life of victory. I have appointed and purpose marked 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.559 all over me. You see, what we have to understand 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.040 is we don't have to have a big, long verse. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.200 We don't even have to know where it's found in 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:21.720 the Bible. 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.480 We don't have to know how that's been translated into 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.080 Greek or in the Hebrew. 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:28.480 We don't have to know all that. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.320 It's good to know all that, it's good to have knowledge. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.800 But listen, you start where you are today. And that's 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.800 a simple phrase. Is I am more than a conqueror. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.040 God has called me to triumph over everything that has 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.920 come against us, a victory that's in. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.920 Him, with a victory that's in me. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:51.040 Simple phrases will chase off discouragement. 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.440 The only way to overcome those negative. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.400 Voices is to chase them off with faith filled words. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.520 If you'll put the right stuff in, I want to 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.960 tell you the right words will be there when you need.
