67 Charles Capps - Understanding Faith 02 of 3

you can have what you say and the right place at the right time for the right situation now to hear the voice of the Spirit of God the voice of the stranger I will not follow already God said with me on the believer I'm not a doubter I've come to receive revelation and insight wisdom and understanding from God's Holy Word I fully expect the Holy Spirit to bear witness with my spirit concerning the revelation of the word and how to apply it in my life on an everyday basis Alleluia you may be seated lower to God I want to take a few minutes and share with you some of the things we have out on the book and tape table out there I know most of you are familiar with the little book God's creative power will work for you and by the way they hadn't put the numbers on that book is I don't guess a number to matter but to just let you know that a lot of people out there confessing the word I think we've sold about for me into those little booklets since came out in 1978 it's a workbook it's the little hype book and you know sometimes people say yeah I read that book it's not a reading book it's a workbook it's a confession book starts off I am the body of Christ then the Satan have no power over me overcome evil with good I am of God and have overcome the wicked one for greater is He that's in me than he that's in the world and and I'll tell you you go through that and a few times and you start getting the spark of the Holy Spirit I mean that stuff will get in you and you find out that you'll be led by your spirit to be in the right place at the right time you what you're doing you're establishing God's Word in your heart like the Apostle Paul said and we'll talk about that some tonight the word is now you its first in your mouth and then it's in your heart and one once gets on the inside of you it will lead you and guide you and give you direction of the Spirit of God but also we had the little book God's created power for healing that pastor George mentioned this morning Harrison house had been after me for years to come up with the book God's created power for finances and you know how you guess many things are doing and you just never get around to it finally my daughter took my material and she she went off to Oklahoma City or somewhere in stayed to motel for about a week and got to turned her cell phone off and and she put the stuff together so in this little booklet here is called God's creative power gift edition there's all three of those little booklets in here God's creative power will work for you God's creative power for healy and God's creative power for finances and this leather-bound gift edition it's available out there I had a pastor over in North Carolina that said you know since that boot came out he said I just started confessing that whole all of the confessions and of course there's there's reading material in there as well but then there's confessions he said I confessed all three of those confessions in the all three of the books of confession everyday for I think he said still doing it but he said for three months and he said it has totally changed my life it renewed his mind now didn't he know that sure he knew it but it hadn't got down into the depth to where it motivated you and that's that's one thing I was shared with the congregation this morning there's more to it than just knowing about it it's getting the mind renewed and and you know when you start confessing the Word of God it's kind of like taking a pencil and putting in this glass of water you can stir it and it's just cutting water but if you just keep doing that a while finally you can pull the pencil out and the water will keep going for a while when when you you confess God's Word long enough you'll start thinking like God things and and when you start thinking like God thinks things don't change around your place Alleluia we have a by the way we forgot we're transitioning to all CDs and DVDs and put in 2008 we're going to phase out to the cassettes you can all to get a car with a cassette it is more basic special order but they will be available if if there was something that somebody just didn't have one but we will not stop them really this is a see this compact disc says tribulation or rapture you know you hear people saying well you know we're going through the tribulation well I'm not now you can trip it later if you want to but I've studied this the things that the Apostle Paul taught the things that Jesus taught for years and prayed over it in the spirit and and I've got enough revelation to know that the church is not going through the tribulation period I mean it's for God's in an enemies not his followers and leaders and and I know all the scriptures that people say well that proves it in Matthew 24 you know it says and immediately after the tribulation there was a sign of the Son of man in heaven and and coming with power and glory yeah that's right second Advent not the rapture second Advent after the tree mediately after the tribulation we're coming back with Jesus read revelation 19 we come back with Jesus when he comes back go to God I won't preach that but I guess better not and and the very scriptures is he once you get one piece of that prophetic puzzle in the wrong place you're hopelessly confused until you get it in the right place and if you don't discern from the Word of God which is the second Advent and which is the rapture just ask yourself why would Jesus talk the rapture to the Jewish people that that didn't generally didn't believe in him that there's going to be eruption or unbelievers he's talking to two Jewish people primarily in Matthew 24 but I but not preach that I get started on that we'll we'll do that tonight but I've heard so many people say that I thought well we'll just entitle it tribulation or rapture so this will bring the people in that think I'm going to say we're going through the tribulation they found out there you want to get raptured hallelujah well let's see what we got here oh this is the audio book this is this is the this book the all three books in one to an audio compact disc and it has the it's narrated by yours truly and then certain tracks on there I confess the word twice I confess it so you can hear the confession then I confess it again and you can confess it with me and that helps you know we did one where I put some spaces in between there and I didn't get the spaces exactly right someone was too long some of us too so I thought well the easiest way to do it is say it twice and then you know exactly how long this is Holy Ghost saying something hallelu well say thank God for the commercial glory to God OPD Bibles to Romans the tenth chapter now we talked all around this this morning and we if you were not here we advise you to get the tape probably the best one was the last service because we got woke up a little more the last service you know sometimes you get started kind of slow but followed the leading of the Holy Spirit I want to talk tonight we're going to talk about some different things but it's all going to be about faith generally and we're also going to follow the Holy Spirit and the leading of the Spirit of God but we're going to talk about faith and confession we all talk about my confession works you know there's a reason for that the scripture tells us in Hebrews the tenth chapter hold fast to your confession of faith without wavering well you probably heard brother Hagin say this he said there would be no need to hold fast to your confession if there wasn't any danger of losing its you know and in the Greek word that's translated stressful in the King James here profession but that's the same Greek word there's also translated confession so you hold fast to your confession without wavering in other words you don't change your confession just because things didn't go the right way you just hold fast to that and because Jesus said you can have what you say if you believe in doubt not any heart so Satan only hope is to get you off the word gets you to say in things that are contrary to the Word of God then you open up the door to the devil and he and he comes in with all the situation but turn there to Roman's at the tenth chapter the Apostle Paul is we will start with verse well verse four Christ is an end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth for moses describeth the righteousness which is the law that the man that doeth those things shall live by them but the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise say not in thy heart who shall ascend into heaven that is to bring Christ down from above who shall descend in the deep that is to bring Christ again from the dead but what saith it the word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart now the word even is added by the translators in italics the word is now you as close to you as it's in your mouth and in your heart first it's in your mouth it gets in your heart now Heavenly Father we thank you for your word we believe that the Holy Spirit show guide and direct speak to my lips think through my mind and quicken every heart and every spirit to receive the Word of God accurately tonight we give you the praise the honor and the glory in Jesus name everybody said amen praise God now it's length two scriptures below now here he tells you that the righteousness which of faith now now what he has done we shouldn't back up just a few chapters here and take a look at some scriptures that had been grossly misunderstood through the years go back to the 3rd chapter of Romans and listen to the Apostle Paul in verse 10 he says as it is written there is none righteous no not one there is none that understandeth there is none that seeketh after God there is none they are all together going out of the way there are together become unprofitable there is none that doeth good no not long now this is in the Bible but is that what the Bible says this is statement in the Bible but he's quoting an Old Testament scripture and he's doing it for a reason the reason he's doing it he's going to show you that there are some righteous he and and so he did out now watch as we come on down to verse 19 now we know that what things soever the law saith itself to them that are under the law are we under the law now not the law of the Old Covenant we're under the law the New Covenant the law the new covenants better than the Old Covenant the law the new covenant is not the law of works the law of the New Covenant is faith now I know whatever the law said that said to them done the law that every mouth may be stopped in all the world may become guilty before God it said that to the world that that's why that's why the law come it came that so that people would realize that they were lost when there was no law there was no transgression it wasn't counted just like if they had no speed law out here on the freeway you know over in the autobahn over in Germany there's no speed limit they drive 190 200 mile an hour over there you'd be doing 180s if I said they'd be honking her horn and blinking her light side she's move over she's what so when there's no law there's no transcription so the law was given to show man what state he was in find out where he was but after faith has come and if we end yet time preach that part of it but you get over in Galatians and and faith it brought us to faith national faith is come it's a different situation all together now notice what is teaching here notice the context of this see see the intent of the word is is sometimes more important than what the word said itself now this stay with milk turn out our if you don't discern the intent you could miss it miles you know I asked a lawyer this I'd heard this several times you know that the intent of the law that's made in even in Congress and past the intent of that law is more important than the paper that is written on and the words is written down our agreement between two individuals in a business deal if they're in agreement of what they agreed to that's more important they may have not said it right in the contract but what they intended is more important than what if they in agreement that is more important than what's written down so then ten of the word now you notice the intent of the word here is that the law was given and there was no righteousness under the law to make man righteous like righteousness by faith so Paul talks about that first and said there's none righteous under the old law there was an unrighteous in themselves and in man's righteousness is as filthy rags you know and people I know a certain denomination of church that wouldn't allow David Engels song to be prayed in the church because he had a song that was entitled and the righteousness of God in Christ and they said wow this blasphemy there's none righteous the says there's none righteous no not one well the Bible doesn't say that it is in the Bible alright but that was a different era and Paul is preaching righteousness by faith right here now watch what he says here and that every mouth verse 19 the latter part of every mouth may be stopped and all the world become guilty fool God therefore by the deeds of the law there should be no flesh justified in his sight for by the law is the knowledge of sin that's how you know you sin because it's a law that's how you know the speed limit because it's hot and there's somebody going to enforce it but now the righteousness of God no verse 20 therefore by the deeds of the law there's no flesh justified in sight but by the law is the knowledge of sin but now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets so you can go back in the law and find out that he talked of one that was to come and the Redeemer even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe for there is no difference now heard brother Copeland said one time somebody asked him he said brother Copeland said said what's your background he said sinner yeah that's what we all started but well we all that were in the same boat when we heard the good news but now notice that he says in verse 23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God so it just means we're all we're in the same boat when we heard the good news that Jesus paid the penalty for us and and righteousness is by faith instead of by works now certainly we should do good works but good works doesn't earn you access to God's grace there's only one way you can get into the grace of God and that's through faith and and people that belittle the faith message there they're keeping people from the grace of God it's like herded Minister thinking they've been brother Hagin said lady said to him one time said said you know I still don't understand it said I won't ask you a question said you know said I'm the most spiritual person in this church that's the first clue right there and said but if I ever get sick so always in dependable the hospital had an operation or something and and said now you know said said my in-laws home of husband side said said they she said I go to church every time the doors are open I've never missed a Sunday I teach Sunday School class and I've done all this you know and she said she's the most spiritual person in church well that that was the problem right there she was banking on her goodness to get credit with God to get her healing she wouldn't believe it in the divine and awning in the prayer of faith it was because of her goodness she was going to get in be healed but she said now they they don't really pay their tithe said they give some to the church said they just come down in they're not faithful to the church and of course people should be faithful Church I'm not knocking that idea but said but but let one of them get see said they come running to the church and get the pastor lay hands on get healed every time can you tell me why yeah brother Hagin said well he said no more and I know about them and what you've told me I would say that they're quick to forgive and they don't hold grudges oh well she said you're exactly right said they just they just let things run off of them said and and just don't hold grudges at all but said now me I'll tell you said I just can't hardly get over it most spiritual person in church so you got to the root of the problem there see now now notice that what Paul said up here before I get away from it yeah says there none righteous no not one now there's a cliche that goes around in most denominator chah's and it goes like this and and I can see kind of why they'd say that because we all were sinners at one time but they say well you know we're just old sinner saved by grace oh that's not the intent of what Paul is saying we were sinners we got saved by grace and now with the righteousness of God now Jesus said you can have what you say if you believe in depth not in your heart how many times do you suppose they've told people well you know we're just old sinner saved by grace what dual centers do they sin they're making the confession well and you and then they'll tell you you just have to send a little every day no you don't if with the confession like that you will because you can have what you say an old sinner go right back to their sinning that's what they do best you know why they call a prisoner a prisoner he's in prison and they won't let him out the scripture says if we I write unto you John says that you send not but if any man sin we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous if we confess our sins he's faithful and just to fish our sin cleanse us from all unrighteousness he just opened the door why don't just walk out no don't confess you're an old center you were an old sinner but you got saved by grace you became the righteousness of God all this is blasphemy your righteousness is filthy rag exactly right I'm not counting on my righteousness that woman was that thought she ought to get healed you see what it got her but she was stopped she is the most spiritual person in the church but see I was on death row at one time not many people know that but I just vist and they let me out yeah I went down there and witness to some of those pressures on death row but they let me out they just opened the door now you gotta be it huh well a fool I guess if they open the door and let you out you don't walk out you know and and that's what Jesus did Jesus said or John said if we confess he sends the doors why don't just walk away from it there's no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit yeah he said people don't miss it now and then but now I'm gonna show you the difference see I told you who's gonna follow the Holy Ghost somebody needs it you know there's there's people that that think well I might as well give up and then the enemy will play on this phrase you know well it's a Christian life just too hard for you you might as well give up you can't hit it no you can't live it by yourself you tried to turn over a new leaf probably hundreds of time before he ever got born again there's only one way to live the life Christian life and that's getting born-again get changed on the inside and it reminds me a story of Smith Wigglesworth he had a revival over in England there somewhere he had a had a lady there was she was a honky-tonk dancer you know and boss she just loved the nice places and she said now Smith said he'd witness to her she's my Smith said said I'd get saved but said said you know I just love to dance and said said I just can't give it up and and he being pretty smart in his hand knowing the word he said all sister don't worry about that said come on in and give you heart to the Lord and get saved and you can just dance all you want to go to all the honky tonks you want to she said are you serious well yeah so she came one night gave her heart to the Lord about three days later she come up to him said you'll Foxx you know I wouldn't want to do that anymore turd but you see the difference in a sinner that sins and a Christian that sin is a great difference the center sends because he can't help it and he has no way out he can't stop it he's on a headlong run down the hill into hell and and in no way to stop it with himself he's got to have help I mean there's a fourth round or five strand barbed wire fence around Hill but he'll break it down to get in there if he doesn't get born again so that there's people that you know there that's why he called these people prisoners in prison they won't let them out so the sinner locked in sin and until they get a change inside and get born again and their hearts changed they're not going to change but a Christian that sins has a way out because he has scripture for if you confess you sins he's faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all say it from all unrighteousness now if you get rid of all the unrighteous what is leave the righteousness of Christ not your righteousness but his righteousness and don't blaspheme the Son of God by saying it's not good enough for you he appropriated his righteousness to you because you believed in the blood you see the blood of bulls and goats under the Old Covenant would not take away of the consciousness of sin and it was just kind of like sweeping the trash under the rug it's still there and every year they had to remember it they had to offer these sacrifice what's on the Old Covenant oh my once you sinned you didn't have time to do much in it but cutting up sacrifice and offering sacrifices after that see you read about what all the stuff they had to do back there to atone for sin or are you know just it was still there but swept on the road you wouldn't go get penalized for it because you did do what God said to do about it under that Old Covenant but thank God for the New Covenant if you confess your sins he's faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness get rid of that on you still got the righteousness of God in Christ Helen I preached myself happy or the helps you or not but that helps somebody now come right on over here we're to talk about this a little bit well we'll read a little further down all of sin comes for the glory of God being justified freely by the grace through the redemption that is in Christ well before I leave that let me say this one more time somebody said I'm a man of few words but I say them off when you see a point like this why you would drive it brother Hagin says you drive a nail through the board then you Brad it on the other sides you know we're justified freely through the grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus and he says whom God has set forth beep iteration through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past through the forbearance of God to declare it this time I say at this time the rights his righteousness that he might be just and the justifier him that believeth in Jesus now what he is teaching is righteousness through faith where is boasting then it is excluded but what law of works no but but the law of faith you can't boast about being the righteousness of God because it wasn't something you did is something you believed and in what Jesus did it made you righteous so it's important to see this that it comes by therefore we conclude that no man is justified by faith without the deeds therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds the law then he comes on down in verse 31 and says do we then make void the law through faith god forbid we established the law now now just ask yourself what law is he's talking about establishing he's just said over here that now we know that what things soever the law saith said to them that under the law that every mouth may be stopped in all the world may become guilty before God but he didn't mean for everybody going around saying we're just old sinner saved by grace because the more you say it the more you believe it the more you believe it the more you say it and your confession will cause you to succumb to temptation and sin and that's what Jesus is talking about the power words your mouth can get you in more trouble than you know how to get out of you have all kinds of thoughts that go through your mind during the day and it's not a thought that the inner pipe it's in your mind that is the sin it's when you begin to entertain that thought and do action to it I think remember brother Hagin said you know you can't keep the birds from flying over your head but you can sure keep them building that nest in your hair yeah especially if it's shorter mine but now this statement down here do we then make void the law through faith got a bid we establish the law we're establishing the law of the New Covenant you realize from all the things he said here he's not talking about establishing the old law establishing the law of the New Covenant and the Apostle Paul you know Jesus brought the the wall down to - love your neighbor settle of the LORD thy God thought heart love your neighbor yourself and Paul reduced it to one love your neighbor as yourself you love your neighbor you won't kill him certainly you love your neighbor you won't steal from him love your neighbor he won't do any of those things you see so the law was given to bring us to Christ but down he says do we then make void the law through faith god forbid we establish the law now come over to the fifth chapter here of Romans and notice what he makes here in the statement well let's let's put this in context as well and stop off in the fourth chapter here in verse three what saith the Scriptures abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness so he's talking about Abraham now come come over here to the 13th verse for the promise that he should be heir of the world was not to Abraham art to his seed through the law but through the righteousness of faith now once you notice the phrase here don't read it again the promise that he should be heir of the world what does it mean to be heir of the world heir to the things that God has given us in this life as well as the world come for the promise that he should bear if the world was not to Abraham are to his seed through the law now that includes us because his seed he was referring to Jesus and if he be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise so we're involved in this and not according to the law but through the righteousness of faith now notice that Frei is through the righteousness of faith come down to verse 16 therefore it is a faith that it might be by grace in other words the only way you go get into the righteousness of God is through faith or the grace of God it's through faith to the end that the promise might be sure to all the seed not to that only which is the law but that also with which is faith of Abraham who is the father of us all as it is written now made their father many nations before him whom he believed even God who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things that be not as though they were we talked about this this morning God told Abraham to call things that were not as though they were right here the Apostle Paul is talking about that and what does it mean to call things that are not not what not manifest you don't see them they're not in the natural realm but their promises the promises of God of this New Covenant I said this has borne bears repeating before we get to the first page in this book one there's a great revelation there it says last will and testament that's read that's what it means the New Testament which means the last will and testament of our Lord Jesus Savior Jesus Christ but you know what you hear people saying well you know we don't have anything in this life but it's gonna be wonderful when we get to heaven oh yeah it would be wonderful when we get to have but did you ever think to read what the Peter said second Peter chapter one God hath given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him that had called us to glory and virtue whereby is given unto us exceeding great and precious promises how did he give it through the exceeding great and precious promises that these you might be noticed I said you might be potatoes of the divine nature didn't say you would be said you might be you got to receive that word you got to get that word in you the word has to abide in use like Jesus said if you abide in me and my words abide in you ask what you will pray what you will say what you will shall be done you can't get it much better than that the saying has more to do with it most people imagine and in mark 11:23 you know it mentions saying three times and believin wants it's like someone said you know you have to do 3 times much preaching on the sand as you do the bleed and that's where the bleeding comes from by the saying and speaking and proclaiming faith cometh by hearing and hearing you know hearing is a continual sense if I said to this brother here how's your hearing he wouldn't think I said how's your heard no I don't know how I heard yesterday all no how's his hearing continual sense if you said heard you think you're talking about a herd of cows something no faith doesn't come to having heard faith cometh by hearing it's a continual sense the renewing of the mind I'm convinced you never get over renewing the mind you continue it's a continual thing that's why the confession of God's Word needs to be a daily thing and and I challenge you if you just want to do an experiment with it I can tell you the results but you probably wouldn't believe it right now but you get that little white book or the or if you've got problems with your body get the blue God's creative power for healing and confess those confessions day after day do it two three times a day double up on your confessions symptom to get worse and if you take in medicine taking the name of Jesus it'll work twice as good believe in what you're doing and you confess that word for weeks and months day after day after day it'll change you from the inside out had a fella call he he called me if he said he was Russell Arkansas a sinner he said you know I lost my job down after that nuclear print and said one of my friends were working for another company that got the contract and and he ended up getting my job and always said I got so depressed I thought I was going to die and said he gave me that little book God's creative power worked for you and and told me to make those confessions he said brother Capps you wouldn't believe what that book is done for me so that was the book it was the Word of God that was in it and now this was a sinner guy he said you know I want to get saved you know a good church I go to get sucked up son - yeah sure do now here's a guy just off the street don't know first you know come here from Sikkim concerning the Word of God and and and he confesses Scripture in the depression left and he's all excited won't get born again my my what do you think it'll do to people that already born again transformation renewing the mind the renewing of mine is a continual sense just like hearing you got to hear it you got to hear it you got to keep hearing it or you let it slip from you but I preach these sermons I need to hear it just as much as you do even though I'm confessing the word every day I still need to hear these things now come here to chapter 5 earlier what he said therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ by whom also we have access by faith I notice this we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand now there's two three times here in these scriptures he said the access into Greece is only through feet it's all the way you can enter into the grace of God is through faith that's important to understand now we talk about this law of faith because it's important to understand that the law of faith is a law it's a law of God the things that Jesus said and I'll repeat something I said this morning because some of you probably weren't here bears repeating again anyway because I don't know it seemed like that sometimes people think that you know faith is just like I think I heard brother Copeland this one time that maybe God's got a little squirt going to faith and he just squirts you with it now there a way to enter in to this faith and the scripture tells you how now now go on over there we started there while ago and the Romans the tenth chapter now you can understand the correlation between Romans 10 and what the Apostle Paul is teaching in Romans 3rd and 4th chapter because he says in verse 5 for Moses described with the righteousness which is the law of the mountain do those things to live by them but the righteousness which is of faith there's your phrase that was over there where it says that Abraham the promise was to Abraham and his seed not through the law but through the righteousness which is of faith the promise was through the righteousness which is of faith in other words it was through Jesus that righteousness to come from him what he did and it's through faith that you access the only access it you can't get there in the other way sometimes you hear people said well I'm just trying to have faith well you don't get faith but right now you get faith for doing what the word says faith cometh by hearing the word so it didn't say that they've come to reading the word you gain knowledge of that and I suppose you gain some faith fight couldn't say that he wouldn't but you can actually sometimes you when you're reading with your minds you know I can hear my voice saying it to some degree but I don't even force it but the the access to grace is through faith and then in verse 17 the Apostle Paul says so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God so it's all linked back to the word I mean Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith it starts with the word it finishes with the word it is the word it's all inclusive in there and that's where it is in the word of God he upholds all things by the word of his power didn't say the power of his word although there is power to work I have power and my fingers but that's not all the power powering the league's power in my arms so when he said he upholds all things by the word of his power he's telling you where his power is it's in the word you get that word in you it puts the power in you and it's a spiritual force it's called the law of faith and it comes by hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing and comes more quickly when you're hearing yourself give voice to give audible voice to the Word of God hallelujah so it's important that we understand what he's linked it to now now look look at verse 8 again what saith it it's talking about the righteousness which is of faith the word is now you in thy heart in thy mouth and in thy heart that is the Word of Faith which we preach now watch what he links it to here that if thou shalt confess I've heard people say why this confession just gets me in bondage hey it'll get you in Redemption listen to this if thou shalt confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and you notice didn't say confess your sins said confess the Lord Jesus confess Jesus as Lord don't talk about your sins anymore you have to and you really don't have to it's a thing of the past once you get mourn again and certainly don't go about send them an old sinner saved by grace because you're testifying to the devil and everybody else that will listen that you're going to go right back in sin and the and the word says you will it's in your mouth and in your heart he shall have whatsoever sail if he believed if it doubt not in heart and if you say it alone off you'll believe it and you go right back into sin it's that simple it's a matter of governing you know that said James said you put bits in the horse's mouth turn about the whole horse you find yourself going in the wrong direction put some pressure on your mouth that's what bit does to horse's mouth puts pressure on his mouth you can't turn him around they can go to the other a ship governed by a little rudder the tongue is the rudder on your ship you don't like wiggling turn that rudder now it doesn't just turn around like that all it's doing versus cutting water your confession maybe just cutting water at first but it puts a little pressure on you and the first thing you know that whole ship is turning around going the other way by just a little bit of pressure on put the pressure on your mouth change you from the inside out word is nice in your mouth and in your heart now he said thou shalt confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus leaving the heart God reason from the dead thou shalt be saved now the word saved there also it is translated healed for with the heart man believeth now notice this with the heart man believeth unto righteousness something else and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation but now Whitman he's just set up here that if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus believed in my heart god raised him from the dead this would be safe so you can believe in your heart and be born again I remember brother Hagin telling story but he gave an altar call one time and it was a guy in Texas on the back row back there said he come running down now as the cowboy boots on just slid up under the altar didn't say a word come down dog just run down to the altar just slid up under the altar by the time you hit the floor you're speaking in tongue filled with the Holy Ghost well you don't speak in tongues you not feel the Holy Ghost speaking tongues less you born again he got born again running down now that was his decision and but now notice the wording here with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and man believed that his heart was born again running down now got filled with the Holy Spirit as it's lit up on the altar tell watch this with a man believeth unto righteousness with the mouth confession is made unto salvation the word salvation there is so so it's an all-inclusive word means delivers preservation healing and soundness especially from temporal evils in other words you could believe in your heart and be born again but if you're going to have delivers preservation healing and soundness from temporal evils you better get your mouth in motion and say the right things because you're going to set you're going to build a shield of faith remember the Apostle Paul said taking the shield of faith wherewith you shall be able to quench all how many all the fiery darts of the wicked one now folks that's an awesome statement and he says you have to take it it's not gonna run up on you you have to take it now let's just investigate from scriptures that I know that in the end the parable of the sower we hear Jesus said that some so seen different places and they said and some produce thirty some sixty and a hundredfold and some wasan and other things lust of other things they're angry entering in choke the word and they become unfruitful did you notice that it had to enter in before it could choke the word how do they enter in Jesus tells us in in Matthew 6 he's talking about Solomon all his glory was not arrayed like one of these lilies of the field and he says I see how how he states that let me turn to it I get some many scriptures you're going around a third that yeah Matthew 6 verse 30 says wherefore if God clothes the grass of the field which today is tomorrow's cast into the oven shall he not much more clothe you O ye of little faith you cold if you just have a little faith therefore take no Thought saying see you have thoughts to pass through your mind good thoughts and bad thoughts it's not a sin that the enemy may put some kind of thought in your mind the sin is when you dwell on it and began to to lack the thought but now notice what he says here take no Thought saying he's telling you how you take the thought is by saying take no thought by saying what shall we eat what shall we drink wherewith shall we be clothed for all of these things do the Gentiles see or the heathen Gentiles were called heathen the Bible dude for for your heavenly Father knoweth what you have need of before you ask him but seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness all these things shall be added to you but notice that phrase take no Thought saying that's the way you take a thought it's by saying I heard someone say this one time they said you know this bad thoughts are dying born unless you speak them or Entertainment they'll die unborn but take no thought by saying now why would Jesus say that because faith always stops at the question mark now once you get this faith stops at the question mark I give you Bible for that more than one situation but I'll give you one mark the first chapter you have a man that a leper that came to Jesus and he said lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean he said I know you can I just know whether you will or not well there's no faith in that statement now you know that in the scripture Jesus when he put forth his hand and touched people or if they touched him they got healed for the purpose of healing and sometimes whole multitudes got healed just the the aura of the anointing was in the crowd just everybody got healed but he he he stretched forth his hand and put it on this fellows head that's not a probably thought why he wouldn't lay a hand on the leper I know you can just don't know what he will or not and Jesus straight that mark account records this this way said he stretched forth his hand and touched him and no power now this is my comment about that part of it to that point no power float is like laying hands on stone he didn't get healed no better this his leprosy ever was now why did Jesus touch him for the purpose of transmitting the anointing of God that was in him into that man and get his healing but no power float what's the problem question mark he don't know whether it's God's will to heal him or not if thou wilt thou canst make me clean but I don't know whether it's your will or not you can't possibly pray the prayer of faith if you don't know the will of God concerning what you're praying about you hear people pray at times and bless their hearts that I guess they pray the best they know how the Lord if it be your will will heal brother song so hey if you go pray with me like that forget the prayer take me the doctor quick at least the doctor knows it's God's will for me to be here but now here's and then Jesus said after he laid his hand on notice he had his hand on no power flow I remember the little woman that slipped up behind it touched the hem of His garment she didn't even want him to know she's there because the iris rule of the synagogue that he can have her put to death for being out in her condition in the crowd is standing right there but Jesus so she just won't slip up and touch to him as go but for she said she confessed all the way down there the scripture says she continually said she confessed in one touch His garment I'll be restored to hell it won't be like it's been days past it'll be different this time she started saying she started confessing and she touched Jesus and he said somebody touched me why they said the multitudes touch you they throng to you some of them probably touched him just see if it sparks and fly nothing happened to them but this little woman when she touched the hem of her garment it proves she had Bible faith see when we talk about faith tonight we're talking about Bible faith there's only one place you can get Bible faith from the Bible you know you hear people say well you know brother so-and-so gave his old man way to a missionary and bless God I'm going to give my mom away yeah and you're gonna add somebody bought this guy that gave his old man away but they said glory to God will give my old car away yeah and you're probably gonna walk for six months or eight months because you had great faith in what happened to brother so-and-so but didn't have Bible faith at all not one ounce of Bible faith Bible faith only comes from the word not from what happened somebody else see you could get you faith inspired if you had faith could might inspire your fear but Bible faith comes from the word from the Bible and there's a difference there's a great difference some people can believe it all or harden don't have the answer Bible they know still there if you're believing just because of well the Lord 1 preach that sermon me one day oh I wasn't doing anything spiritual fact I was up in a tree building the deer stand at the top of the tree just a hammer and I heard the Lord say what some people call faith is not faith at all just high expectation based on wrong information and I just sit down put my hammer down and said we'll listen to this sermon I've never heard those words before in my life and any beginners showed me that that people have great faith and what happened to somebody else oh yeah believe God will heal them they went and got healed but I never get my healing you know and it's always off to some other time there's no Bible faith Bible faith comes from the word that's why I'm Jesus made it so simple he said if you abide in me and my words abide in you ask what you will shall be done into you pray what you will say what you will I mean it sounds too good to be true to most people but thank God is simple and and you know it makes faith easy there's there's no struggle with it if the word abides and your faith is there but how do you get the word any well we're back to the subject in your mouth and in your heart I'm all saying some anyways you'll get it hallelujah that makes sense to you so jesus said take no thought by saying I may get on some toes here that's probably been some of you said oh we got no gas going to four dollars to go three dollars to go hey faith stops at the question mark long as you ask that question the devil will answer it you got to quit driving your car and get a bicep no here's what I say Jesus said take no thought the same what shall we eat what shall we drink wherewith shall we be clothed now he's not teaching to not take thought he taught that you wouldn't build a tower unless he's sit down and and considered the cost but I take thought my saying I know what I'll do I'll believe God for the four dollars or nine dollars or whatever it is and there be among us there's abundance no like my God has met my need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus I'll be in the right place at the right time there is no lack my God has met my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus you get that attitude faith attitude and it it you will gravitate to business do situations and circumstances it will cause the money to flow in it takes the struggle out of it but you can sit down and worry into what are we gonna do shut your faith down in a minute and and the devil get his little flip chart out and he said well wouldn't you believe you'll lose your car your house and you and and but when you go to confessing that word my God has met my need according to his riches in glory by what was that he just left he took his flip chart with him he's out of here submit yourself to God resist the devil how did Jesus resist the devil with the Word of God he said it is written that's all he'd talk to him about what was written down and I mean he was out of there and he sought a more opportune time but did you notice he never didn't find it that settled a temptation forever well how my we get back to what I thought I was going to talk about tonight why confession works number one Oh number one yeah Romans 10:17 faith cometh by hearing confession works because it calls his faith to come it causes faith to come Romans 12 you know I missed it this morning Paul said be not conformed the world be transformed by the renewing of your mind renewing of your mind continual sense continually saying what the scripture says keeping God's Word in your mouth it will transform you I've had the Lord to say things to me that you know wouldn't even thinking about just I was a business deal a friend of mine I had supported his ministry and what he was doing in the prison ministry and and he kept saying to me about some guy that had had some starting a company and on this 3d imaging and stuff and I thought nah mess with that you know and there's always somebody that's got a good deal going you know and he kept talking to me about it and I prayed a little bit about it and I felt you know I don't know about this you know it sound like a long shot you know so we slide to Chicago areas to Rob Thompson Church my wife is in the back airplane asleep and I was just sitting up there enjoying beautiful sunshine beautiful day to fly and I would just think about anything just kind of meditating the word a little bit watching for aircraft and I heard the Lord say now you said that this was you knew it was a long shot and and what I did actually I had some money that my mother left me and when she had died there was in some stalking it was sold and they had some other that had used and and so I had invested I think about ten thousand dollars in that stock just just call my broker and I said just buy me ten thousand dollars worth of stock he said never heard it I said well you know I just do it so it was two and a half cents a share the day that that he bought it got 400,000 shares for for ten thousand dollars but anyway I'm sitting up there and and he in the Lord said you know you said that this uh you knew it's a long shot but he says it's also a sure shot hmm that's good information I wasn't trying to have faith I'm just confess the word I'm led to the spirit and well to make a long story short when it peaked out it was three dollars and something my share 3:58 I think and of course sold off of course it usually does but the manifestation of the Spirit is profitable locked every man with all scripture says and you know sometimes we think it just means spiritual things I guess I've had as much manifestation of the wisdom of God and business deals that ever had the spiritual things I mean it's I don't think God please just one tune you know but but anyway it comes by confessing the word listening to the Spirit of God and knowing the loss of the Spirit of God now in one of those little confession book God's creative power the Lord told me when I was writing that it came out of the book the tongue created force it he said put excerpts of the book in there and the confession so people put it in their pocket karat will them confess it and of course it's the very it's the very confessions that I use when our support I couldn't pay attention and I'm literally I'd go to church I couldn't pay attention what pastor said I was weird old-- my finance it and I was like brother Copeland heard him say one time I was supernaturally in debt he shouldn't get that way naturally harder but anyway the Lord had told me what to do at that time I was praying and told him I prayed and thing wasn't working out is getting worse and he said I'd appreciate if you quit telling me what the devil said and call it prayer I said well what am I going to do he said every word come out of your mouth Ben doubt and unbelief he said if you don't get your confession straightened out it won't get any better it's going to get worse I had all the words I wanted I was ready to change and he said write down what I said and confess it instead of confessing what the devil said and faith will come and I got me a legal sheet of paper a yellow legal sheet tablet tore it out and put wrote these confessions on it fold it up put it in my pocket woke up down the backside of the term Roma farm every morning and confess I have abundance of no lack my God has met my need according to his riches in glory and everywhere I looked it was like but I'm calling things that are not and one morning I just stopped and I said Lord I just feel like I'm lying saying all this stuff and I heard his Spirit of God in my spirit it wouldn't been allowed if it'd been on loudspeaker he said son how could you lie saying what I said who it's like saying SiC them to a bulldog so I just kept saying it and kept saying it and kept saying it and kept saying it but the point is that it's consistency of continuing this word feed from your mouth to your heart if it abides in you it's got to continually be in there you know it's like gas in a car you fill it up today but you're going to have to fill it up next week to probably if you do some Drive it and you're using your faith you can get a faith deficit you've got to have a content you'll flow you got to keep that built up and it takes the struggle out at the confession of the word so now when I got to hope this message I was also I love to deer hunt it looked like every good tree that make a good deer stand had poison ivy on and I got around that stuff I'd confess for years and it worked real good I ever get around that stuff he gets all over me well I found out I was redeemed from the curse I said it's got to be under the curse so I started talking to my I said to my I'd slapped myself on Hanah say listen to me I'm talking to you you're redeemed from the curse you do not react to pause Nadi and I said it and I confessed it and I proclaimed it and I'm redeemed from the curse and so I said what happened I got pause 90c people say well house not working is it yeah I faith it's coming I'm not fully persuaded yet takes time you got to get rid of that old unbelief so I just kept saying what God says now I remember the services more I said regardless what happens to you in life it doesn't change the Word of God so he just kept saying it you keep saying it Abraham wasn't fully persuaded in the two weeks Abraham wasn't persuaded in 24 years but when God changed his name to Abraham and he had to say what God said about it within less than ear the promised child was born they had had the promise 24 years no manifestation in it so it's important it a beurre ham is called the father of our faith and all you got to do is go back and study what how God brought him to that point God tried everywhere couldn't get him to confess that that his seed was as the stars of heaven we have no record he ever did it he believed in the Lord all right he you know loved the Lord I'm sure but a lot of people love the Lord but they don't believe what he said about and many of them believe that you how much you say when you read it right out of the Bible Oh bless God you're just trying to you know some kind of magic no spiritual law just a law of God it's called the law of faith and and one of those nights we're going we're going to talk about the law of faith and now how that it's set in motion and and how it's revealed and different thing but anyway I confess this four six eight months ten months next year when deer season rolled around I notice I didn't get any poison ivy it's been thirty something years ago I've never had a spot of Poznan on me in 30 something years and you hear me saying I will never have another spot of poison ivy on I strip it off the trees with my hand now I don't advise you to do that unless you're fully persuaded it wasn't that way when I started cause his faith to come renews the mind you got to get your mind renewed even though you're born again you overcome evil with good don't be overcome with evil overcome evil with good God's Word is good troubles and problems and and catastrophes are bad you overcome evil with good number three it changes your heart you can change what's on the inside of you and you know the source owes the word Jesus in the parable of the sower tells you that the production center that he likened saw to the heart of man the production center you speak the words and Paul said it's in your mouth then it's in your heart now when I was farming we had a planner had planners you know and he had a container up here and you had a swirl spring type thing that when that seed come out of that planter hopper it was not going anywhere but to the ground right down there and had a thing that running fur and it dropped that seed right in that fur then it had a little deal that run over and matched the ground together and it planted it so once it went in that thing it was going in the ground and you have to plant it to get it to come up you know what I've seen people that years ago this this Rebecca early 70s and I guess I was teaching in some Bibles in homes with just Bible studies and there were some people got hold to the thought they got a hold of the faith message but they didn't understand it that's going to quit their job little by faith hey if you can't live by faith on your job you can start without it 100 times nothing is nothing have you noticed that they wasn't doing anything it is doing nothing and getting nothing in a hundred times nothing is still nothing just a lot of nothing so it is not it doesn't even make sense but they got thrown out of their apartment lost their credit rating and I had on what happened to because they just simply did not use wisdom so you renew your mind with the word of God it changes your heart now being a farmer I knew that when you plant a seed in the ground the ground doesn't argue with that seed and say hey we're not raising corn or cotton this year we raised in cucumbers and bananas now can't do that if you plant the right seed you'll get the right harvest if you take care of the seed water it water it with the water of the word keep the thorns pulled out of it don't allow things to come in to your heart that will destroy what you've put down there and the way you do that is with the continual confession of the Word of God so it changes the heart prepares us all as what the Jesus taught about us all being the production center kingdom gods if a man cast a seed in the ground how do you cast a seed in the ground he said if you had faith as a seed you would say so it's very simple the thing Jesus taught or just a simple that sometimes people look over it number four it keeps answer before you and this is one of the problems of things when you're confessing order to God you're keeping the answer before you not the problem the more you talk the problem the more you're talking and the more other people talk it the more problems you're going to have because the more you say it the more you'll believe it and things that irritate you and and I can witness that it is harder to do this it is to say it but things that irritate you don't talk about I have to remind myself my wife tells me sometimes I'll read my own book got it you can't control your tongue it takes the Holy Ghost to control your tongue and when you get out of the spirit you're going to make some bad confession and sometimes you have to repent and pray for a crop failure and those words I spoke you know now you keep you mouth David or the psalm said that proverbs tells us that you write these things on the table of your heart we can't do that with ink pen but David hooked onto it when he said my tongue is as a pen of a ready writer you do it with your mouth keeps the answer before you creates the image and pictures videos running through your mind of success and blessing and prosperity and in helping others you create those images with words you speak there is abundance no lack and my God has met my need I have all sufficiency of all things so I can abound every good work so it keeps the answer before you and it sets the law of faith in motion number five it sets the law of faith in motion mark 11:23 and 24 who service shall save the mountain be removed be cast in the sea shall not doubt his heart believe what he said will come to pass he shall have what's there is if therefore what things soever you desire when you pray what do you pray pray the answer not the problem for years I prayed the problem problem got worse you pray the answer you don't want to be caught telling God that his word didn't work you pray the answer my God has met my need according to his riches in glory and of course mark 5 we've already talked about that the little woman with the issue of blood and Jay iris they came in told hey iris said your little daughter's already dead he was you see his daughter was laid at home at the point of death and he said but Jesus if you come lay hands on her she'll be healed and she shall live that's a faith statement and so Jesus just starts walking toward his house and all the crowd following him and then the little woman with this year blood came along and she got healed and told him all the truth that took a while she told him everything out for 12 years it's been all her money on doctors nothing better but rather grew worse well we've got better doctors today in the head in those days thank God for what doctors can do but the doctor still can't do it all so we need the Word of God in us but then the runner came and said don't trouble the master and motar daughter's already dead too late this is the words of Jesus Jesus said fear not only believe in other words it's not time to try to make a faith confession Junior junior Irish you open your mouth now you're gonna say something y'all not say because you're gonna say something like yeah it took time to heal that Baptist lady you got there in time to heal my daughter and then they had a funeral the next day so jesus said fear not don't do anything but believe what's he gonna believe believe what he said while ago don't go back and undo what you planted in faith he said it in faith now things have changed what's he going to do well he decided to do what jesus said now let me show you what let me read you what what day I was said don't be read again did you catch that I'll read it again that's what he said nothing silence he rested in what he'd already said see that's why a lot of the problem seemed to loom up real big before you enemies trying to get you to backtrack on the Word of God I mean when you go in to study the Scriptures there's some awesome things in there the Shunammite woman you know built a house for the prophet of God and then he prophesied she'd have a child and she did the child died one day and she took it and laid it on the bed of the man of God now she knew the gnawing was still in that sheet I don't know she they hung the bed and and she went and told her husband she's gonna ride to the prophet of God he says why are you going not the new moon of the Sabbath there's no reason for going she said all is well she didn't tell him the boy was dead the boy was dead graveyard dead all is well she gets there and and good hey as I said there comes as you know mine and why she said go go see askers it well with these well with my husband she said all is well I mean she wasn't moved by that I don't know how she hooked onto that faith but she said all is well and you know the end of the story Elijah went in late upon the child and then raised him up from the dead sits the law of faith in motion you can have what you say if you believe in doubt not in your heart but there must be faith in the heart it must be you must be fully persuaded Jesus says it this way good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringing forth good things for other bundles of the heart the mouth speaketh how the Mundus of the heart the mouth speaketh you can say things just out of your lips in your head but when you get your mind renewed it's coming from down here that's where the power is it's it's like a and we'll go into depth in this one of the nights it's like this cooling system and heating system this building there's thermostat on the wall over there but that thermostat cannot heat or cool this building unless it's hooked um if you could you know you could go by your thermostat and take it out in woods and nail it on your cabin wall he could cabin but there's no substance in that thing it has to be hooked to the heart of the unit and the heart of man is like the heart of that unit out there and when you've set the goals that are you see that that thermostat has a thermometer and it's for one purpose and one purpose only to tell you how it is right now they change that every wind it blows we have a lot of thermometer Christians but we need some thermostat Christian that thermometer can only tell you how it is but that thermostat can change it if you will set that thermostat it's a gold center sends an impulse out there and says we're hot we need some cool air in here that thing can't say now we think you need some heat we're going to crank up the front you can't do that not wired that way it won't cook your food it won't wash your clothes but it'll heat and cool this building if you'll set it the gold setter and leave it set but you're always how somebody said well yeah but I believe in saying it like it is no you don't know where else except in church seasonable and people get religious minded I'll brother you Scout said light is or just lied but be careful you may call Jesus a liar he looked out the face of the storms at peace he didn't call it storm big storm next waves going to get us he said peace but there's no peace out there but then there was but he called it first when you set that goal setter back there sends an impulse out there and the substance is already in that unit and it releases that substance faith is the substance of things hoped for you have to speak some words release faith and that thing will work day and night until it brings this room into the temperature it's designed that way its way the heart the spirit of man is designed according to Jesus just like production Center well that's the short version of it set the law of faith in motion number six puts the angels to work for you puts the Angels to work for you leaves last but not least Psalms 103 tells us well let's turn to that you need to see that in your Bible you get angelic help when you keep God's Word in your mouth verse 19 psalm 3 verse 19 the Lord has prepared his throne in the heavens his kingdom ruleth over all bless the Lord ye his angels that excel in strength that do His commandments harkening unto the voice of his word what's the commandment the Scriptures is Commandments the angels know that Jesus said that you can have what you say if you believe not not in your heart it's their job to see that it comes to pass if there's true faith there you get angelic hosts involved in your situation and circumstance he is prepared his throne in the heavens his kingdom ruleth over all blessed the Lord you his angels excel in strength that do His commandments harkening unto the voice of his word they hearkened to the voice of God's Word well if you give God's Word voice than their harkening to you I'm not so sure they know the difference if you're quoting the Word of God from your heart you fully believe it and doubt not in your heart to them it says the voice of God you're giving audio to God's voice and they say come on we got an assignment we better get out and get to work we had time we could tell you some stories along that line but we've told enough stories not I mean true story but nevertheless they hearken to the voice of God's Word now see this this New Testament it has words in red and Jesus said I speak on with that which you hear my father say so let's duel let's hold this word of God up to this microphone see what it says didn't have any voice but I can say blessed be God because I've given it's given unto me good measure pressed down shaken together running over men given to my bosom I have abundance no lack I'm led to the Spirit of God I have the mind of Christ the greater one dwells in me and greater is He that's in me than he is in the world if God be with me who can be successfully be against me I'm filled with the knowledge of the Lord's will and all wisdom and spiritual understanding I'm in the right place at the right time for the right situation to see that the promises of God come to pass in my life in the angel says come on boys we got something to do get up off that couch there hearkening to the voice of God's Word bless the Lord verse 21 bless the Lord all ye hosts his hosts ye ministers of his that do his pleasure the angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who are heirs of salvation that's us and you know you read in the Hebrews there were where it says that don't let these things slip from you let's turn to it there Hebrews the first chapter believe you she's caring comparing the minister of Jesus with the Ministry of angels in chapter 1 and down in verse 13 it says but which of the angel said he at any time sit on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool are they not all ministering at the angels he said that's Jesus he said are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who heirs of salvation now and you know them this chapter 2 is not anointed the chapter CH Apte are not anointed you know there was no chapters in division in Scripture it was just all one they put that so you could find in places easy so still talking about the same thing therefore now let's read 14 and verse 1 the next chapter are they not all ministering spirits angels are all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who hears a Salvation therefore well to give the more earnest heed to the things which we've heard what is it we've just heard that the angels are ministering spirits to minister for us so don't let it slip from you lest at any time you should let them slip in other words at any time you could have the Ministry of angels working in your behalf but you better keep your tongue straight you know people say dumb things like I'll tell you what if you don't the water heater starts making a little noise if you don't buy a new water heater it's going to burn this house down you watch and see the mains will sit there on the couch and it catches on fire they go loot and say yeah it's on fire all right we don't know why they want it burn down but let her burn I was in oh my I get started on these stories again I was in Atlanta area I was teaching about this and he's up there and prophesy to your kids you get out there and play on the street you'll get run over by a car angels sitting there thinking I don't believe this and the kid goes out in the street and they say well we don't know why he wants him run over by a car but Jesus said he could have what he said and I noticed the pastor on the front seat was kind of squirming when I was talking about that and actually the service were out to eat he said brother Capps I guess you noticed me squirming a little when you got talking about that said I did that to my child we would when we see a dead dog alongside the road we stopped short tuned and said now that's what happened you playing the road and we told them you getting you play on the streets you going to get hit by a car and I told them I said there's a different way to say it say look you're not supposed to play in the street that's where the cars are now if you do play on the street you're not going to get hit by a car but you may think you've been hit by a car when I get to it but he said one day his kid was out in the street playing and got hit by a car and he said I did not know that the things I said called the Angels off the scene they're they're ministering spirits they're created beings they they follow the instruction of what they're designed to do you can have the Ministry of angels at any time jesus said he could call legions of angels women prayer there ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who are heirs of salvation when they hear the word of God coming out of your mouth they gets their attention they have something to do problem is we've let them become some what they call couch potato Center I didn't have anything to do with all the dumb statements I made four years you know but when you begin to the Word of God begins to flow out of your mouth and you're believing what you say you get supernatural help angelic help to minister for you protection and so on and I'm I I've told enough stories about you know I can stand here and give you examples of things that have happened until the Sun came up in the morning I could never cover them all so we might as well quit right here say this with me I'm a believer I'm not a doubter I'm gonna be a stronger believer and a confessor of the word of God and I'm going to build my faith and I'm going to be fully persuaded that I can have what I say and I'm going to say the right things I'm going to give voice to God's Word and I'm going to put the Angels to work my voice voicing God's Word will draw the attention of angels for protection for Prosperity for physical health and all that I have needed but because they're ministering spirits sent forth to minister for us because we're heirs of salvation thank you for it father in Jesus name hallelujah you say ma'am praise God I'm done praise God thank you brother Cass are you getting stirred with this as stirred as I am I'm excited about this let me tell you why as we as the musicians come and as we prepare to receive the offering for brother Capps I'm very excited about what he's ministering to us because what the Lord has led me to do beginning Wednesday is that we this is what he spoke to me about this this faith project that we have that's coming up the building of our youth and children's facility he has told me to begin to build your faith towards that building and on March the 25th I'm going to be showing you the the blueprints for it we're going to be receiving a special offering on that day and then over the next couple of weeks after that we're going to be breaking ground for this building but it's going to take the corporate faith of this church to build that building and as we've been going along in this vision school together we've been applying what we learn about our church and how we believe God in our church to the things that you're dealing with and that you're going through and how to get through those things that you're involved in and so I'm particularly excited about what he's ministering because the Lord ministered to me to carry on with what he's been talking to us about over the next few weeks in preparing for this next offering that's coming up for the youth and children's building and that with each project that we do as a church our faith corporately and individually is going to grow it's going to get stronger it is going to develop to such a degree that the things that you're believing for right now you'll receive them and then move on to even greater things to believe for and so I thank you for coming and ministering this to us it is right in line with what the Lord has for us to do in this church and there is no other way to accomplish this job but by faith there is no other way to get this done by what brother Capps teaching us and that the the the very principles that he's talking to us as the pastor I'm going to be able to follow right behind him and teach you in detail about this is exactly what the Lord spoke to me about in preparing us for this upcoming offering that we're going to receive so don't you just appreciate the Lord he knows exactly what we need give Him Thanksgiving tonight for this praise God praise God well tonight as we receive our offering for brother Capps this is what the Lord was ministering to me as we were as he was speaking and I was just every so often I think about these offerings that were receiving for him I want to receive this offering tonight and then the other offering that we receive for him not not just for what he's done as he's come here as a speaker to this church but I want this offering to be a special one for him for them I want it to be a an offering that represents a lifelong achievement to the body of Christ I don't know if you realize the impact that brother Capps has made on the body of Christ I don't know if you realize the persecution that has come against them over this message that he has preached and what we want to do as a church is minister back to them thank you for standing thank you for being stalwart thank you for being consistent on the Word of God and the Word of Faith thank you for what you've done amen and it really it is such an encouragement to a pastor like myself to just take these things and you know I endeavor to teach you along these same principles can we talk for a minute I endeavor to pre-teach you along these same principles but you have a man like brother Capps that comes along and it just it fortifies that on the inside it strengthens that it really does lock in what we are called to do in this church and what our assignment is in this church that we are called to teach people who they are in Christ Jesus and how to walk out their covenant rights and privileges and responsibilities that we get so rooted and grounded in the Word of God that we are able to turn around and teach others these same principles that's how it work and that's what we are called to do that's what this church is about and it is so great when when a man like this comes and ministers to a pastor like myself who's continually giving out and to sit there and to hear this and to be reminded of it I can I can sense my faith rising on the inside and so I just so appreciate what brother Capps is bringing to our church what he's bringing to people who are watching us on be vov all
