What's In Your Mouth? - Pastor Nicole Crank

oh I hope you brought your seat belt today because the Holy Ghost got ahold of the last two services and so I just think we need to stand in expectation there like we need a television program I'm like well TV can take care of itself what we need is the Holy Ghost to do what the Holy Ghost want to do ain't no party like a Holy Ghost party and a Holy Ghost party don't stop so can we just can we just go with the plan and see what he's got ooh and that's what I love about being a faith Church you know we were in Australia and doing ministry in conference and and worshiping and it was great but I just want to tell you friends there is no place like home no place like home no place like my faith church family and they're open to the Spirit of God and willing to move and groove and do what God wants to do ah I tell you one place I haven't met the Holy Ghost and that was Las Vegas that is where our message starts today I tell you I went to Las Vegas with my mom and we just went first unlike some pools and we had gotten a cheap hotel deal and we we were gonna do a spa treatment see a show or two and I went my thought my husband would love all this architecture and these creative ideas he's got to come back here and he's I said husband you got to go to Vegas with me he said I can't go to Vegas I'm a pastor and I said when did this happen and I said baby you know what happens in Vegas gets told by your wife on the stage and so he went with me and we had a great time and we bought tickets to the show and I was so excited because they still had front-row available last minute at the discount place and I thought I was always wanted to sit front row at the Blue Man Group so when we get to the Blue Man Group what happens is as we're coming in they hand us these ponchos and at first I was like what are these for and why doesn't everybody have one of these and then I quickly figured out the reason that they gave me a poncho on the front row it's because they were gonna spray stuff on me sorry making you all bend over consider that one of your squats for today you're like and done I did squats today I did a sit-up - I got out of bed well they gave us the front row and we were ready to be splashed I just gave you all those ponchos and I want to let you know it's because you're gonna get splashed if you would like to vacate the front row now my feelings will not be hurt second row you don't get a poncho you know why cuz you got to pray and everybody in the third rollin around y'all are just blessed you are in the safety zone you obviously prayed today God led where you were gonna sit and you'll say well what do we need these ponchos for anyway well let's go to Matthew 15 verse 11 Matthew 15 verse 11 it says it's not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man it's what comes out of the mouth that defiles a man the title of today's message is there are power in your words I don't even think that's good English let's change the title there is power in here the words look at your neighbor right now and say there's power and what I have to say now listen to me and do those dishes when you get home in Jesus name you see there's power and what comes out of our mouth and I don't think we realize all the time exactly what we're dealing with you know when I was in Vegas I saw that they had all these spa treatments and it inspired me because they wanted one hundred and ninety five dollars to take a bath in some essential oil water with some rose petals I'd like for $195 I'll buy my own essential oils and I'll go to 7-eleven I'll get me a rose so and I've always thought that Pastor David should like put rose petals on my bed and in my bath and maybe go before me and they should just walk all over the floor and I've got some essential oils and this one's called hope how many people want some hope in their life smells delicious and this one says stress away how many wish their stress would go away a man who yes Jesus we want some stress away who likes essential oils come on up one person who likes the central oils first one who stands up can come up here for a second okay you stood up first come on up here for a second this one is called joy how many of you want more joy in your life say Amen and you don't have to come all the way up here you can just stand right there I just want you to smell this for us come on over here and smell this and just so she doesn't have a poncho she's safe how's it smell this smells amazing it really does anybody else want to smell this come on over hurry up come on come on Oh both y'all can come off here come on smell this is this some good stuff check this out oh she's bringing some more forgiveness praise God I can keep it she obviously thinks I need forgiveness what are you trying to tell me Jesus but they all want to wait this stuff smells delicious doesn't it I mean it smells good enough they'd want to charge you a million bucks to take a bath in this in Vegas everybody say Sweetwater Sweetwater this is some good Sweetwater but there's other kinds of water and actually what are we talking about Sweetwater what are we talking about well let's go to James three verse ten it'll tell us what we're talking about right now it says out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing that it says brethren these things should not be so mmm there's a spring send forth both sweet water and bitter water well whenever the Bible asks us a question it's not because God doesn't know the answer God knows he answered everything amen so who do you think he's wanting to know the answer us he's what nice to know the answer so I mean if we start googling it I'm like can a spring be salty and fresh the answer was no can a hot water and cold water come out of the same spring because there's hot springs and cold springs and the answer was no can polluted water and fresh water come out of the same spring and the answer was no now you've got pools that have fresh and saltwater and you've got pools that have polluted and fresh water and you got pools that have hot water and cold water but the pool just because it's all in one spot that's not attractive is it just because it's all in one place it doesn't mean that it comes from the same source so if we talked about the sweet water let's talk about the bitter water I know it's not happened at Faith Church but I have heard tell that at other churches Christians cuss they use dirty language when somebody makes them just that matter cuts them off in traffic or a hammer hits their finger there is some Valder that comes out of their mouth if that has ever happened to you just go ahead and fess up and say Amen yeah yeah yeah and so there's a couple super sister Christians it's just like well that has never happened to me in forty two years ago I met Jesus and I just want to let you know I am squeaky clean like soap and none of that mess has come out of my mouth and I want to let you know anybody who said yes to that who is a director in our church I don't know if they should be in our church anymore especially not leading and I don't even know if I can follow a pastor who's been to Vegas well how many of you know that might be squeaky clean but nobody wants soap in their mouth I don't think God wants that soap in there either and then there's stuff that's straight poison you know my daughter I guess there's this expression that went around and when something's really funny you're just like oh my gosh I'm dead and I heard her say that I said never say that word again but I mean I can't judge her because I've said you're driving me crazy anybody ever said that or I'm gonna kill you do you really want them dead I mean maybe at the moment but not really how many of you know there is a difference between this bitter water and that sweet water I'm not gonna ask anybody to come up and smell or touch or get within 10 feet of that but somehow we managed to say and spray these different continents of water over our life [Music] I gave y'all a poncho and sometimes it's sweet which ain't so bad but sometimes it's a bitter mess it's so bitter in there I can't even suck it up it's so dirty oh yeah baby that's some gross --mess you know it's an engaging message when even the kids are saying oh no bitter water and sweet water I just hope I don't get the too messed up as we're talking today I just have one question for you if we've got these two guns in our mouth at the same time and they're both spouting off at the same time how is it that God is supposed to know whether or not he can turn up the power in our mouth you see how many of you want to pray prayers of healing for the sick and you see people healed say Amen how many of you want to pray over the brokenhearted and you see heart healed and then being restored say Amen how many people want to pray for the broken the poor and watch finances come into them and revitalize and say Amen how many of you want to pray over your future and see what God has for you come into your future say Amen woo Sweetwater you can feel when the sweet words come out you can feel I can't you we can feel it but somehow the bitter words tend to sneak out they tend to get out on us you see I don't know why bye and dog food should be such a big deal but in our house behind dog food is a thing because we've got the healthy dog food we want the dogs to eat in the green and white bag but they won't eat that by itself so I have to buy this other food that they do like except for in the food they do like there's these menial look and chunks that they eat and they root around for and they'll run around for the meaty chunks and they'll eat the healthy food while they're doing that but there's these little dark triangles in the bag with the meaty food and they will not eat these little dark chunks they'll root around and eat everything else and they'll leave it there so long I have to throw it out now let's think about it dogs dogs eat their own vomit so how bad does this food have to taste then they won't even put it in their mouth hmm shop with this in my mouth can I put it in your mouth can I spray it on y'all it's funny how it can be so clear and makes such sense right now but as soon as we rag revaita dwith somebody as soon as they get on your nerves as soon as they start talking some full trash at work we say what is that full idiot doing and if got turned up the power in our mouth their IQ would go to zero and they wouldn't be able to function anymore I wonder do we really want God to turn up the power in our mouth the problem is what is we deal in the real oh girl I'm just telling the truth oh man I'm just giving the facts right now you know I get all this name and claim it's tough but sometimes you just have to call it what it is who's your source would Jesus call it what it is or would Jesus speak life into it you see weird where we're speaking death and destruction and disharmony and disquiet and doubt and when we're dealing with real instead of doing what Jesus would do we pollute the very fountain of power that God has given us to architect our future shore up our present and even rectify the past the enemy wants to pollute our mouth because he knows our mouth is our power God's Word in our mouth is just as powerful as God's Word in his mouth because it doesn't matter who speaking it's God's work come on somebody get down a real frame but we get stuck in this in this bitter water what is bitter water so let's go to Exodus 15 Exodus 15 verses 22 through 26 Moses is leading the Israelites through what's called the wilderness except for the wilderness isn't some trees and forests and a creek the wilderness is an arid dry desert where they are and so they're going through this dry desert for three days and they got nothing to drink for three days here we are in the line at Starbucks aggravated when they don't get us our cappuccino in 10 minutes right and they don't get anything to drink for three days well when they finally get to a place it says when they came to the oasis of Marah the water was too bitter to drink so they named the place morrow which means bitter I wonder if somebody had to name your conversation or name the way you talked if they would name it Marah sometimes I don't want the answer to that question I just be real anybody ever had a Monday alright so verse 24 the people complained turned against Moses what are we gonna drink what are we gonna do the bitter water is that bad well until we really know what is bitter water what is the problem with bitter water what does bitter water do so I look to it I looked it up and here's a couple of quick references if geta numbers 5 verses 18 it's talking about a ritual that they do and it says that the priests should have the woman stand before the Lord and hair have her hair loosed and the place of the grain offering placed in her hands which is the grain offering of jealousy and that in the hand of the priests is to be the water of bitterness which brings a curse the water of bitterness brings a so if we're real and bitterness out of our mouths really we're spewing a curse I wonder if anybody asked you on the way into church today when's the last time you cursed somebody we might say never however if we've been talking about how inner they are who they are how dumb they are what a jerk they are or even worse nobody likes me I can't get any breaks in my future I don't know what I'm gonna do I'm just not made for anything are we spewing bitter water all over other people are all over our own future and then going back and refueling with more so an Ashton was like four years old because this one last year so Ashlee's like four years old we were swimming in swimming pool cuz we used to have a pool in our backyard and when we were swimming she thought it was fun to put the water in her mouth and like squirt it out between her teeth oh sure now y'all put the Poncho's on there like I knew we were doing baptisms at church but I didn't know it meant during the service so I finally got tired of it I was like Ashton quits - quits Ashton quit does it right in my face and it gets on my face I finally had to remind her I said baby I just want to let you know that my booty is in the same water that's in your mouth [Applause] why would you share that nasty story because I just want us to realize how nasty that water is it's in our mouth it brings Ackerson than in Revelations 8 vs. 11 it says the name of the star is called wormwood and 1/3 of the waters became wormwood and many men died from the waters because they were bitter bitter water brings a curse and bitter water brings death so there's these two girls and they worked in Manhattan their receptionist and their friend Sarah got engaged the night before and they heard about it at work or they couldn't wait all day to talk about it so they got on the subway and they're like oh my gosh I could not believe Sarah got engaged oh the girl cannot cook to save her life she is the sloppiest person that we know and she is so hormonal months a month we can't stand her she can't even stand herself I don't know how she is gonna live with any man I give that marriage one year tops cuz they're gonna be in divorce court by the time they get back from a honeymoon talking talking talking just spraying bitter water all over all over Sarah who they work with and they're supposedly friends with and as they're spraying all that though the woman behind them on sitting behind him on the subway said scuse me girls I am so glad that I sat by you today you see my son got engaged to Sarah last night Oh y'all saying whoa like you ain't never trashed somebody on your way to work all right and she said you know what we didn't know this about Sarah and we're so glad you brought some light to it so I just want to let you know when I get home tonight I'm gonna call my son and I'm gonna let him know to break off the engagement and they will not be getting married all the sudden the girls backpedal and they're like hey wait wait wait wait Sarah is very loyal she will never cheat on him she will stand by his side she wants to have children she wants to be a mother she'll be an excellent mother and they said she said no I heard what she really thought thank you for your insight and then all this the subway stop she said oh this is my stop and she goes to get off the subway she stops right before she gets off and she says oh hey girls one more thing I don't have a son [Music] but I'm sure if Sarah heard how you were talking about her it would really hurt her feelings and really spray some kill on your relationship you see she was trying to help him out they were spewing bitter water and they didn't even know how bad the bitter water was how many people want some good water in their life say Amen if you want some sweet water in your life say Amen there's a little boy his name was Johnny and Johnny always had trouble going to bed so dad took Johnny upstairs to bed finally got him into bed after half an hour headed downstairs five minutes later Johnny says dad can I have a drink water dad says no Johnny I'm telling you what I don't want to hear from you go to bed five minutes later Johnny says dad can I please have a drink water he said son I told you go to bed if I come upstairs I'm gonna spank you now quit go to bed about thirty seconds later Johnny says hey Dad when you come upstairs to spank me would you bring me a glass of water how many of you know he wanted water bad sometimes we need to need sweet water so bad that we're willing to just give up the bitter water that we want to give out oh no you don't understand if I don't tell it then it won't get sold you don't understand if I don't tell it we won't be able to deal with it you don't understand if this isn't said then nobody will know God wants to know if you trust him enough to deal in just sweet water because there's power in positive words so how do we turn bitter water sweet because we are already admitted there's been enough bitter water at least in our life how do we turn sweet the bitter waters how do we rectify the past well we shore up our present if we go back to Exodus 15 verse 25 where we were the first thing Moses did it says he cried out to the Lord and the Lord showed him a tree so he took the tree and he threw it in the waters and the waters became sweet so that makes sense in their situation but how do we put a tree in the water of our words and I'm not and just implying that you take a hatchet out of the back of your trunk go chop down a tree on the parking lot of the car and shove it in your mouth or in the church and shove it in your mouth how many no that's not gonna work so we have to go to the whole can in the scriptures so if we look at proverbs 15 verse 4 and proverbs 15 verse 4 it says a gentle tongue is a tree of life but perverseness breaks the spirit a gentle tongue is a tree of life what you do is you take a tree a gentle tongue and you put it in the bitter waters and it makes the bitter waters sweet so what we do is we look at all the places that we've been squirting the bitter water and now we start squirting sweet water in that same place sweet water gentle tongue God's words God's promises we start by crying out to God we start by repenting over what we did say that we know now that we shouldn't have said if our mouth is a tool do we want it used by the enemy or do we want to used by God amen because there is much power in your positive words as there are the negative things you've been speaking I remember one time we were in Tulsa and this is back with me and Pastor Dave were dating we weren't married yet we were hence the word dating and we were with his mom and dad and I stayed with his mom he stayed with his dad in this hotel we're together morning noon and night it's we got to see each other all day we were loving it we're having so much fun because we were doing like you hang up no you hang up no you hang up thank you hang up hanging out in the lobby till the last minute we had to go to bed so we didn't want to go home so we were in the Tulsa Airport waiting for Southwest Airlines and we we were just standing there at the gate and we said to each other we want to go anywhere but home and his dad said really is that what she want his dad do the power of words right about that time they come on the overhead ladies and gentlemen thank you for being on flight 28 31 to st. Louis out of Tulsa we just want to let you know today that we have overbooked the flight we need two people to volunteer to take a 300 dollar voucher for a future and we will reroute you back to st. Louis through Kansas City and you'll be there just approximately eight hours later if you would like to take advantage of this benefit she went off because we were already at the front that's taken those seats we had just been eight hours together and we got on this fight to Kansas City and we sat and it was back in the name of Southwest seats faced each other in the back of the plane and he had his feet up on my seat and I had my feet up on his seat and we were just flirting and looking each other just happy his two clams we had a layover in Kansas City ate some barbecue we're in st. Louis at midnight and his daddy picked us up and he said so how was your trip we said it was great he said how was Kansas City oh my god it was nice we had barbecue but we were together he said isn't it funny how you just said that and you got it psyche I got is so good he said yeah but don't you wish you'd said Aruba you see the sweet water you want to make sure it's sweet enough don't be worried about adding a little sweetness to it don't be worried that God can't keep up with your prayer don't be worried that God can't give you more joy don't be worried that God can't give you more hope don't be worried that God can't take away all the stress don't be worried that God can't give you all the forgiveness even when you think you can't forgive just go ahead and challenge God see if God is not bigger than you think he is see if God can't do more than you think he can see if God can't just take you at your word and best it and go one more over that how many of you believe that God is just bigger better more able more willing king of kings lord of lords lion on the tribe of Judah healer provider come on somebody goddess over are you trying to get me in trouble he's like it's a 12:30 week long we can have some church except for we got baptisms to do sir speaking of baptisms I can't think of any other kind of water that I'd want to get myself into than baptismal water let me tell you right now if you needed to get spray some sweet water on your life and your life has been messed up there's nothing that smells any sweeter than watching the old man go down into the water watching him pass away watching the new man come up filled with the Spirit of God taking Jesus at his command to be baptized and I'll tell you what else obedience is the blessing exchange do you want some blessing in your life and this is a free story you guys got 60 seconds for a free story I have been baptized in my life I was Catholic so I got baptized when I was really young right I didn't make the decision I didn't know about it I was just born into it but then when I got older it never really occurred to me to get baptized on my own recognizance so I had been dating this guy and I finally decided hey you know or not had and I was single and I had finally decided to get baptized and I got baptized and rededicated my life to the Lord at a deeper level even though I've been going to church even though I've been studying the word I got rebaptised and just a few weeks later this real cute blonde dude asked me out his name was David I just wonder if I had gotten baptized a little earlier obedience is the blessing exchange so you might be thinking today that it's too late for you to be baptized because you didn't sign up and you didn't check the box and oh no no no no I want to let you know we got you a t-shirt a towel and a pastor with your name on it it is waiting for you right outside and if today is the day that you want to rededicate your life to the Lord and be baptized don't let anything get in your way you just walk out there and look for anybody who's nothing looks like they know what they're talking about it on just say I want to be baptized today and we will make it happen for you amen whoo tambourines on that one I like it so Sweetwater everybody say Sweetwater you know we we ended up in Kansas City we could have ended up in Aruba there was some Sweetwater they've been released from our mouths Pastor David said from the time we were on our honeymoon I can remember him saying it it was back in 2007 and we were vacationing in in Destin Florida I remember him saying it he would say we're gonna spend years of our life on white sandy beaches you know it was 2007 eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen and twenty thirteen God calls us to open a campus in a city we'd never been to in Florida and he provides one year free television time in two years of free television time in three years of free television time and he provides a free office and then he provided a whole free church on a whole free campus how many of you know God takes these little morsels come on somebody these little morsels of these little words you don't think mean anything I'm gonna spend years of my cellphones life on white sandy beaches he said you think you're just gonna be on a beach I'm gonna have you playing a whole nother campus you just gave me a morsel but I'm gonna turn it into a mountain a blessing you think you're just going on vacation but I'm gonna turn it into a lifestyle you think it's just all about you but I'm gonna bless so many other people out of it I'm telling you right now the sweet words that come out of your mouth aren't just about you God wants to use them to bless tens of other people hundreds of other people thousands of other people somebody in that house act like they serve a God of a God of goodness about a favor about of mercy about of Redemption about of power about of life about of healing I thought oh come on somebody is your God good today he's so good he's so good so as we close for today you know I told you a story that was true about two girls being in Manhattan but I want to tell you a story about two frogs and pretty sure it's made up because the frogs are talking and so there's these two frogs and they're hopping through the forest and they happen to hop off into a pit and as they hop off into the pit they found out that they can't get out and they're trying to jump and they're trying to jump and they're in there for so long other frogs start to notice and a crowds gathered around there around the pit there watching them jumping they're trying their hardest and they're getting exhausted and though they sprained their ankle but they're trying to jump and they throw their hip out but they're trying to jump and they they hurt me a two-disc in their back and they're trying to jump so the guys at the top are yelling down just quit just give up just lay down on your back and die you see friends this is why you have to have the right they around you because some people will tell you to give up and speak some bitter water over your life those start prophesying for you and they'll get us Sam the same stuff so the one frog he listened and he just laid back on his back and gave up the ghost and went to froggy heaven the other frog he just kept going saw the guys up at the top were like bro seriously just just quit hurting yourself seriously stop and he was hurting so bad and he was kind of only on one leg but he just kept hopping with everything he hit he's like I'm not gonna let it stop me he went down but I'm not gonna let it stop me he didn't make it but I'm not gonna let it stop me and somehow he's happened in his front hands get on there and he pulls himself up and he comes out of the pit all the guys are like oh my gosh I can't believe you made it and the Frog says what do you mean they said we were telling you just give up just give up the Frog said I'm deaf remember where I couldn't read your lips I just saw you going like this and I thought you were telling me you can make it you can make it don't have to miss read the people around use lips and don't be the person at the top of the pit telling them to give up whatever you do speak life speak Sweetwater tell them with God oh thanks are possible with God his hand hand is not shortened that he cannot accomplish it he's a God that is the same yesterday today and forever and you tell him a story I saw him heal somebody one time and they looks really bad off matter of fact they weren't as bad
