The Law of Words | Mike Moore

hello i'm mike moore and thank you for joining me for a series that i believe is going to change your life we're teaching from the subject prospering in bad times this is our second lesson but i want to go back and look briefly at statements that i made in the introduction in lesson one there were four things that i said in the introduction number one i said that prospering in bad times is a vital part of the believer's testimony to the world the second statement god's blessings are not altered by poor economic conditions in the earth the third statement god wants to prosper you regardless of your situation and then the final statement god prospers believers through his laws of the kingdom it would be good for you if you uh would go back and listen to lesson one now today in lesson number two i want to talk about the law of words r o w-o-r-o-d the law of words now the law of renewal had to do with our thinking and the law of words has to do with our speaking the law of words has to do with our speaking we've gone from thinking to speaking proverbs chapter 18 verse 21 in the authorized king james version the traditional king james version says death and life are in the power of the tongue death and life are in the power of the tongue i'll say that one more time death and life are in the power of the tongue i can make it personal for you death and life is in the power of your tongue death and life is in the power of your tongue now notice death and life are not in the power of our upbringing our past our environment death and life is not in the power or not in the power of satan the bible says that death and life are in the power of the tongue so we are either speaking death to our lives or we're speaking life to our life we're speaking death or life death and life are in the power of the tongue so we're speaking according to this verse on an ongoing basis we're speaking either life to our life or we're speaking death to our life now here's here's something that i believe one of the things that changed my life and i believe it will change your life is when i began to understand that words are containers words are containers now i have a this is a bottle of water is is is water housed in a plastic container it's water in this container this is another container and it holds orange juice orange juice is in this container in the same way that water is in this container and orange juice is in this container death and life are in the container of our words our words are containers and they are containing either death or life now poverty and we're talking about prosperity godly prosperity poverty comes under the heading of death and prosperity comes under the heading of life poverty comes under the heading of death and prosperity comes under the heading of life now here's where i got that from in genesis chapter 2 in an environment of abundance god created the earth placed a man there and there was nothing but abundance there and in genesis chapter 2 verses 16 and 17 god said to adam of every tree thou may freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil don't eat from that tree the day you eat from that tree you shall surely die well let's fast forward to the fall in genesis chapter 3 in verse 17 god said to adam after they disobeyed and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil god said to adam curse is the ground for your sake and if you read verses 17 19 god said because of their disobedience they would experience struggle in their work they would experience a lack of productivity in their work and their work would be hard and difficult so in genesis 3 verses 17 through 19 we have the introduction of poverty there was no poverty before adam's sin but we have the introduction so what is what is the connection between genesis chapter 2 verses 16 and 17 in genesis chapter 3 verse 17 and 19 what is the connection the connection between god's purpose and plan before the fall and poverty after the fall is words w-o-r-d-s words now listen god said words words that he intended for adam to agree with and obey of every tree you may freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil don't eat from that tree the day you eat from that tree you will surely die in genesis chapter 3 satan came along in the form of a certain a serpent and said to eve you won't die god said you will die satan said you will not die god said you eat from that tree you will die satan says if you eat from that tree you won't die and eve and adam chose to agree with what satan said unfortunately many of us without realizing it are agreeing with what satan has or is saying now in this lesson is it's not going to be a long lesson but in this lesson i want to give you two major thoughts i'll give you the thought give you a proof text scriptural proof text of the thought and then i'll give you uh simple examples here's the first major statement is just two just two major statements the word of god teaches that there is a connection between the words that we speak and the poverty that we experience in our lives i'll say that again the word of god teaches that there is a connection between the words that we speak and the poverty that we experience in our lives there is a connection between words and poverty a connection between our words and poverty now i'm going to give you some scriptural proof text and proverbs 30 verses 32 the be part of the verse the king james version says if thou hath thought evil lay your hands on your mouth if you think evil if you think an evil thought the scripture says lay your hands on your mouth in other words don't let the thought the evil thought come out of your mouth when you speak you conceive the thought now malachi chapter 3 verses 13 through 14 this is after god gave israel a promise concerning the tithe he said i'll open the windows of heaven i'll pour you out a blessing that there not be room enough to receive and i'll rebuke the devil for your sake and then in verse 13 god said to israel your words have been stout against me saith the lord you have said it is vain to serve god what prophet is it that we have kept his ordinance and praying in plain language god was saying to them you have been saying i don't get anything out of that tithe then i i don't believe in that tithing i don't believe that it doesn't work for me god said to them your words have been stout against me matthew chapter 6 verse 31 jesus said therefore take no thought saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewith shall we be clothed now notice what jesus said jesus says don't take the thought and say it don't take the thought of said and if you read the context the whole context matthew 6 verse 25 all the way down to verse 34 when he said therefore take no thought saying he was saying don't take a thought of insufficiency a thought of lack a thought of not enough a thought of can't do he said don't take the thought and say it why because there is a connection between the words that we speak and the poverty that we experience in our lives now over in numbers chapter 13 god instructed moses to send 12 spies into the promise into the promised land and spout the land the scripture says that 10 of the spies came back with an evil report two came back with a good report now when we look at the evil report of the ten spies all the ten spies said what they saw they said we went into the land and it does flow with milk and honey but the people in the land are fierce the people in the land are giants the the land is filled with cities that are wall the people in the land are stronger than us they were just talking about what they saw and they were talking about what they felt and not only did god call what they were saying an evil report in the 14th chapter of numbers god said you will not enter the land because of what you said in other words he said it shall be as you have said now jesus said something in our final proof text jesus said in matthew chapter 12 verse 31 36 matthew 12 36 in the amplified bible he says but i tell you on the day of judgment men will have to give an account of every idle inoperative non-working word they speak idle words words that are inoperative words that are non-working and other translations say words that are empty words that are careless now jesus said the day will come in the judgment where god will hold us accountable for what we did not do because of what we said our words hindered us from walking in the fullness of god's plan for our lives now i'll give you some simple examples of idol words empty words careless words inoperative words words that are not working toward your success listen at this statement i will probably lose my job in house i will probably probably lose my job and my house now it does not matter that you were sincere or insecure that's not the issue those words i will probably lose my job and house are non-working words they are words that do not benefit you they are words that do not produce the kind of results you want you don't want to lose your house you don't want to lose your job so why say it why speak it listen at this we never have enough money we never have enough money now remember the scripture says death and life were in the power of the tongue we never have enough money the those words are working against you those words are not producing what you want listen to this i can't afford and you can put anything in that blank i can't afford my parents can't afford a playstation 5. my parents can't afford much for the money for a band instrument my parent can't afford the sports fee i have to pay i can't afford to go to college now this is something that we you and i need to eradicate from our vocabulary i can't afford now i i'm gonna ask you to hold me accountable if you ever hear me say at any time i can't afford it whatever it is you hear me say that i want you to walk up to me get behind me and slap me across my head i want you to jus now now don't hit me in my face but i want you to this ballpark back here i want you to i want you to just slap me as hard as you want to slap me in the back of my head if you hear me say i can't afford anything that those words you will never hear me say well you say well what if i can't afford it well you know what i mean death and life are in the power of the tongue if i'm in a position that i don't have the money to do whatever i can't afford is never going to assist me in getting that money in fact i can't afford will keep money away from me now when you speak these kinds of words these kinds of thoughts you're speaking death to your financial and economic situation when you speak these kinds of words and these kinds of thoughts you are speaking defeat to your financial and economic situation in life i can't afford should never come out of the mouth of a believer now i'm going to let that settle in you know i know that there are people you see this law is misunderstood this law is mismanaged and this law is marked people talk against speaking right they they talk against that they they say that's the law you know that's the law well it's interesting solomon said death and life are in the power of the tongue jesus said that we're going to give a count of every idle word that we speak that we're justified by our words and then james over in in james chapter 3 james talks about the power of the tongue and he says the tongue is like the bit in a horse's mouth that you can take your tongue james says and turn your life around james says the words that we speak are like the rudder of a ship that's moving against fierce winds that we can take that rudder a small helm and we can turn that most powerful ship into an entire different direction death and life are in the power of the tongue now here's the second statement i'll give you the statement i'll give you biblical proof text and then i'll give you some examples we're talking about the law of words here's the statement the word of god teaches that there is a connection between the words that we speak and the prosperity that we experience in our life this is the converse of the last statement the word of god teaches that there is a connection between the words we speak and the prosperity that we experience in life in other words your prosperity is connected to your words if you're not experiencing what you desire on a financial material level then change what you are saying here are two scriptural proof texts psalms 35 verse 27 through 28 in the traditional king james the authorized king james psalms 35 verses 27 through 28. it says let them shout for joy and be glad that favor my righteous cause yes let them say continually let the lord be magnified which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant and my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness i'm going to quote that text again that's psalms 35 27-28 let them shout for joy and be glad that favor my righteous cause yes let them say continually not think not feel let them say continually let the lord be magnified which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant and my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness proverbs 18 20. let's go back to proverbs proverbs 18 20 the first part of the verse the a part of the verse says a man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth a man's belly his experience his financial material well-being shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth in other words you want satisfaction in your life on a financial material these truths work in any area but we're talking about godly prosperity along financial material in the financial material realm the bible says a man's belly his material life shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth not his hands we know work is important we know it's important to work but this scripture says a man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth so if there is a connection if there is a connection between the words that i speak and the prosperity that i experience then these are the kinds of words that you and i should be speaking god supplies all my needs it's not hard to say that god supplies all my needs is just as easy to say god supplies all my needs than it is to say i never have enough money i never have enough money why can't we say god supplies all my needs my bills are always paid on time and i'm living the rich life my bills are always paid on time that's not hard to say it's not hard to say it's not hard to say my bills are always paid on time it's just as easy to say my bills are always paid on time than to say i'm behind on my bills i'm behind i'm always behind on my bills let's change it if we want something different let's change the way we're talking i'm living the rich life i'm living the rich life that's my heart one two three four five just six words i am living the rich life i am living the rich life well you know if i say mike that i'm living the rich life and people look at how i'm living they'll think i'm crazy well what difference does it make what what people think we learn in the law of mind renewal is that a renewed mind is unnatural thinking we don't think like the rest of the world think and if we don't think like the rest of the world think we shouldn't talk like the rest of the world talk i'm living the rich life i'm always in a position to give i'm always in a position to give that's just as easy as saying you know i wish i could give but i don't have anything to give i wish i could give but i don't have anything to give why can't we change that why can't we say i'm always in a position to give i'm always if death in life is in the power of the tongue and and words are containers my words are containing life or death so let's let's evaluate let's evaluate i wish i had a money to give i never have anything to give what are those words containing are they containing life are they containing death what about these words i'm always in a position to give i am always in a position to give now what are those words containing death of life no they're containing life i'm always in a position you don't have to have a dime to say that you don't have to have a good job to say that you don't have to have a a degree to say that i have enough money for the things i want and i can help others i have enough money for the things i want and i can help others listen to those words listen to those words i bet you never said those words i have enough money for the things i want i have enough money for the things i want and i can help others i have the money for the things i want and i can help others i have enough money for the things i want i have enough money for the things i want and i can help others and i can help others that's not hard to say those words i have more than enough i have more than enough let's try those words let's try just this year you and i let's explore godly prosperity let's let's let let's let's go all out regardless to what people say let's let's let's put it on the line we're going to do it god's way and we're going to say things like i have more than enough i have i wish i could find something deeper to share with you but most christians are not saying that i have more than enough how about these words i'm blessed and i'm a blessing we know that's consistent with god's will i'm blessed and i'm a blessing let's try those words i'm delivered from that i'm delivered from that well but i'm pastor you know but i'm not delivered from that i got all these debts okay okay okay death and life are in the power of the tongue if we talk debt death to the debts it's not going to change it death to the debts i got these debts i don't know how i'm going to ever get out of that i don't know how i'm going to ever get out of that let's change that and put some life in some words and speak life to our debts i'm delivered from that i'm delivered i go to college debt-free i go to college debt-free i got plenty of money to go to college and when i leave college i won't owe anyone how about us saying those words now listen at this when we speak these kinds of thoughts and these kinds of words we're speaking life to our financial and economic situation in life when we speak these kinds of thoughts and these kinds of words we're speaking victory to our financial and economic situation in life death and life are in the power of the tongue now when i first when i first start learning about the importance of my speech i struggle with it because i started listening to what i was saying and i found myself because i had learned that to speak what i desire you know to not speak my circumstance to speak what i desire speak the word and one once i began to listen to what i was saying i was speaking a lot of death and i was i was i i i one minute and i said then i shall renounce those words in jesus name i'll renounce those words and i did that so much so much i got so tired i renounced those words in jesus name and then i'm trying to speak it now you know i was trying to to speak based off willpower let me tell you let me tell you a key to this key to this right before i close up this is the key when we well let me let me back up we're talking about the words that you consist you speak on a consistent basis we're not talking about when you go to the doctor you can't tell the doctor what's wrong with you we're not talking about that when you go to the doctor if you're hurting in your stomach said my stomach hurt and said my head hurt my back hurt whatever it is because that's not what you talk on a regular basis if you're in a counseling session marital problem talk about the problems and let if you're talking to an attorney and you're trying to he needs to know what the problem is but that's not how you talk every day what we're talking about is your everyday speech need to be consistent with the word it it needs to have life on the inside of it now the secret that i learned is a very secret a simple secret it's not willpower it's not discipline your tongue through willpower jesus gave us the answer in matthew 12 34 jesus said out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks the niv translation says for the mouth speaks what the heart is full of the mouth speaks what the heart is full of so rather than just trying to discipline my tongue through willpower i learned that if i put enough word on the inside of me through my renewal then i would automatically speak what my heart was filled with so now i'm not thinking i'm not thinking about it i'm not i'm not you know trying to measure this and measure that when you fill your heart with god's word it will naturally float out your mouth so the key is not willpower your mouth will speak what your heart is filled with now we talked about the law of my renewal and we talked about the law of words i want you to go back and i want you to listen to the both of these teachings and then next time we're going to add another law and i believe that your life is being transformed in jesus name
