much for this wonderful opportunity to share the Word of God together and Lord you know everything you know everything that got us to the place we are at now you know everything that's coming up in the days ahead and you help us so that we're not caught off guard and we're not ignorant of the enemy's devices open our eyes open our ears give us uh pterence give us the flow of life in your word exactly what we need right now and we purpose not to be hearers only but to be doers in Jesus name Amen praise God we're already off to a good start the thing I want to get into today and in these broadcast is one of the most I what's the words to say one of the most significant things in my opinion that have helped me and my family and my ministry and our church in walking in faith and walking into things of God one of the single most significant and important things that I know we could talk about and it has to do with the words of faith I want you to find two openings in the scripture let's go first of all to mark the 11th chapter and then we're going to turn right directly to 2nd Corinthians the fourth chapter mark chapter 11 and 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 now you may be very familiar with the things of faith and you may have heard teachings on words and confession and if you have I want to caution you that you don't read these verses and think well I already know that I've heard that before because that's when something has just become mental assent to you when it's real to you and real inside you and it's working and you're practicing and in your life you're excited about it but when it just becomes old hat - and you think yeah yeah I know those verses I've heard that preaching I know that teaching I've known that a long time well you don't really know it yet like you ought to and it's not operative in your life oh that's wise you'd be seeing fruit and you'd be excited about it so I want us to look at these verses as though we hadn't heard them before because there is truth here that we've not yet seen in mark the 11th chapter Jesus spoke to a fig tree if you remember the story and the fig tree over a period of time withered up from the roots he just looked at the fig tree and he spoke to it and said no man eat fruit of you hereafter forever and you couldn't see it at the moment but over a period of hours in a period of time the scripture tells us that that thing dried up from the roots the work started underneath the ground where you could not see and it began to work until it came all the way out to the leaves you know Jesus spoke to things he spoke to the wind he spoke to the waves he spoke to trees he spoke to things that you couldn't see sometimes people don't think that I think that'd be funny talking to a tree speaking to the wind but that's the way you and I are to rule and reign in this life is through our words using our words to release our faith to live by faith is inseparable from using your words in faith and when he had spoken to this fig tree and it withered away they were amazed verse 21 talked about that it's Peter called his attention and said look the fig tree that you cursed is withered away and in verse 22 jesus answered and said to them have faith in God other translations bring out Senate like this have the faith of God some set like this have the god-kind of faith' another way of saying it is is how faith as God has faith we don't have faith on the level of God I mean he creates planets and and in the universe but we have a measure of his faith in us and it operates exactly the same way that he operates in it the principles are the same though the level is different so he's saying have the god-kind of faith' operate in faith like your father does and he gives an application and explanation of what he just did in verse 23 after he said have the god-kind of faith have faith in God he said verily I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain be thou removed 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 now I want you to notice hopefully you got your Bible there I want you to notice how many times Jesus mentioned the words say in some form look at it again Jesus said whoever shall say to the mountain be thou removed 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 whatever he saith or says Jesus emphasized it he mentioned it three times about saying not doubting but believing what you say would come to pass and you'd have what you say now there are those who have made fun and even give labels to people say well y'all are just that blab it and grab it bunch that that name it and frame it that confess it possess it and and you know label people we your this that can't listen this is Jesus talking here he's the one who said if you will say it and not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say comes to pass you will have what you say now let's go to 2nd Corinthians if you're holding your place there 2nd Corinthians and the fourth chapter 2nd Corinthians 4 it says 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 he said we have the same spirit of faith same spirit of faith as who we have the same spirit of faith that was in Moses the same spirit of faith that was in and on Abraham the spirit of faith that was on David when he faced Goliath the same spirit of faith that was on Joshua land he looked up and said son stand still same spirit of faith that was on Daniel when he was in the Lions Den and the Lions mouths were shut and closed same spirit of faith that's own Peter in the book of Acts on Paul in the epistles same spirit of faith that was on Jesus as he walked the earth same spirit of faith he taught and preached in ministered healing in ministered deliverance same spirit of faith and then it'll do us a lot of good to think about that to meditate upon that the same spirit of faith that was on Jesus and in Jesus is in and on me same spirit and he mentions though how this operates the spirit of faith he said as it is written I believed therefore have I spoken we also believe and therefore speak you can't separate faith from confession you can't separate believing from speaking speaking and your words and your confession is the number one way that you release your faith in fact in many instances many situations it's the only action required to get a miracle perfect example of that is the new birth you believed in your heart that God has raised him from the dead and you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and and so you believe in the salvation you confess under salvation you didn't have to jump off the church you didn't have to do some extreme thing or climb the highest mountain or swim the ocean you said it with your mouth and when you released faith through your words one of the greatest miracles of all took place you're born again now this is the way God operates go with me to Galatians the fifth chapter real quick and they remind you of the escalations chapter 5 in this fifth chapter excuse message Galatians it's Ephesians Asian's chapter 5 and the first verse he said be ye therefore followers of God as dear children another translation says be imitators of God as dear children be an imitator of God how does God operate in the very beginning God had God the Father the Almighty the creator he had the plan the wisdom the understanding of all creation inside himself he could see exactly how the mountains were supposed to be formed and the oceans and the atmosphere the planets the plant life the animal life he had that understanding he had that wisdom that knowledge inside him and the Bible says the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the Holy Spirit hovered over it and then God said out of his being he took the faith within himself and and the understand the faith he had in the understanding and knowledge and wisdom and he put the faith into words and he spoke and he said light be and when he did that those words the holy when he spoke those words the Holy Spirit moved over the face of the deep and caused those words to be manifest and it came to pass that's the way he has always operated he has something inside himself he believes it and he speaks it and it comes to pass it doesn't always come to pass the next day I mean you can read numerous times the Lord said this is going to happen or that's going to happen and it might have been hundreds of years it might have been thousands of years before it came to pass but when he says it he never changes he never backs off of it it comes to pass he believes it he says it and it happens now you and I are children of the Most High and that's the way we're supposed to operate we're supposed to live by faith walk by faith operate by faith and that's inseparable from the words of our mouth if we're going to operate and be imitators of God we have to do what he does he believes and he says he believes and he says go with me if you would to the book of James today and look at something that's just outstanding I know a lot of Christians know it but somewhere another is just not as real as it ought to be James and we'll look in the first chapter first of all James chapter 1 I want you to notice this James 1:26 he said if any man among you seemed to be religious and Bridals not his tongue but deceives his own heart this man's religion is vain now you'll notice as we go through some of these verses that they're very strong and we need to take heed to them he said if if you don't bridle your tongue if you don't control your tongue your mouth your religion is vain that's a big statement we need to take heed to that are the words of our mouth really that important well we've already mentioned that it's to our our faith and our words that were saved that's as important as it gets and the same way we're saved is the way we live look look on down into the third chapter of James James chapter 3 he said in verse 2 he said in many things we offend all if any man offend not in word in what he says what he or she says the same is a perfect man a complete a mature Christian what's the key to growing up developing becoming a mature Christian what the Bible calls a perfect man it's getting ahold of your mouth if you don't miss it in what you say you won't be missing it he said and the same if you don't offend don't miss it in what you say in your word the same as a perfect man and able also to bridle the whole body now get this today because there are people that have been struggling praying fasting counseling turning in prayer requests and still have the same difficulty after five years after 10 years after 20 years that ought not be whether it's a problem in your life or noted specifically your whole body he said you can bridle you can control can steer your whole body if you control your mouth think about it let's keep reading he gives examples he says we put bits in the horse's mouth that they may obey us and we turn about their whole body I don't care if you've got a massive Clydesdale you can take a little bit and a few pieces of leather and you can steer that massive animal if you're going north and you want to go south you can just tug on that and just like steering in a car the horse will begin to turn and even though he's so much bigger and so much stronger than you are you can control his direction with that bit and bridle he goes on to say behold the ships which though they be so great and are driven of fierce winds yet are they turned about with a very small helm whithersoever the governor listed he said ships of course today we have some of the most massive ships huge gigantic they're like small cities and you can turn that thing you can be going east and if you want to go west I mean there's all kind of things people could do you could try to get half the people to jump off and swim and please try to push the boat sideways you could but all you got to do is turn that rudder and even though it might not completely change course instantaneously if you changed if you change that rudder turn that rudder it'll immediately begin to turn that ship and if you hold that rudder at the right place long enough it will completely change the direction of that huge ship and the very next verse he says even so the tongue tongue is like the the bit and bridle tongue is like the rudder I think if he's writing today he might have said the tongue is like the steering wheel in the car that's how you control it even so the tongue a little member and he goes in and talk about how the tongue can bless or it can curse you can control your whole body or you can defile your whole body with your tongue now get this illustration you know what if you're driving down the road and you you got your foot on the pedal and you're going down the direction and you said I don't want to go this way Lord take me back from this way I don't want to go this way but you just keep going that way lord I put me on another way another Road I'm going north and I don't want to go north turn me around you could pray but as long as you don't turn that steering wheel nothing's going to happen with that car you could just keep going and going if you didn't run off the road until you ran out of gas or indefinitely but until you put your hands on the steering wheel you begin to turn it your life's not going to change and the problem is and walking by sight when you walk by sight you talk what you see you talk what you feel you talk what you've experienced but when you talk by faith you talk the word you don't just call things that are like they are you call things even though they're not yet as though they are you call it the way you want it to be not just the way you see it and you feel it you know I've had person after person that has come to me and said brother Keith I've been prayed for they can to this guy right now he came to me after service one day and he said brother Keith I just have I want to quit smoking and I've been prayed for I don't know how many times and I have just you know fasted and turned in prayer requests I've had hands laid on me and I've thrown away cigarettes and thrown away cigarettes and thrown away and I just don't know what to do because I can't I can't quit smoking a nicotine just has me bound and I have to have it and I can't quit and over the course of that conversation he must have told me he couldn't quit 20 times was he he doesn't see it but he believes he can't quit he says he can't quit and he's bound but he didn't see the connection I looked into my said will you do what I say he said no brother Keith I've thrown away my cigarettes and I promised I'd quit and I just go back I said no no you just say this I want you to say every time you buy a pack or a carton I want you to say I am free from cigarettes he said well I'm buying them I said yeah why are you buying them I said when you open up a pack and you bump one out I want you to say thank you Lord I'm free from these I'm free from cigarettes when you take one out and you put it in your mouth and you light it up in between drags I want you to say thank you Lord I'm free from he said while I was smoking I said yeah while you're smoking I said when you put it out I want you to say thank you Lord I'm free from nicotine I'm free from cigarettes I said when you pull him out of your pocket lay him on your nightstand at night last thing I want you to say thank you Lord I'm free from cigarettes he said while I've got him on I said yes he said I understand you don't have to understand I said just do it I saw him it wasn't like three weeks later when I saw him I had this great big beam on his face didn't even have to ask him what had happened he said I'm free from cigarettes and I standing on the corner about two weeks into it puffing away and he said I said it just like you said he said something came up in me and I just knew I didn't have to smoke ever again and I put it out and I was completely free hallelujah you're worth it he was going down a direction of bondage to a certain thing and he couldn't get free till he got a hold of the steering wheel and he began to say I'm free instead of saying I'm bound and eventually turned it around and it changed his metabolism it changed his body he said you can control your whole body if you can control your mouth do you believe it hallelujah I want you to stay right there in just a minute we'll be back with some good things that you need to know about Keith Moore of Moore Life Ministries brings you the significance of saying series of
