WORDS, WORKS, & WONDERS

God wants us to be fruitful in all of these 3 areas in our lives
What we say – what we do – all wrapped up in the supernatural
WORDS
Doctor - “Stick out your tongue – and say Aaargh”
The tongue reveals a lot about our health - both physically and spiritually
On Judgement Day we will have to give an account for every wrong word spoken
Math 12v34-37 – But I say to you that for every idle word that men speak they will give an account for it on the day of judgement
The tongue dictates the direction of our lives
James 3v1-12 - ...For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed we put bits in the mouths of horses that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships; although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires...Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue is also a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell...With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters this should not be...
We can kill or give life by the power of the tongue
Pro 18v21 – Death and life are in the power of the tongue - and those who love it will eat its fruit
“I'm glad I got that off my chest”
The tongue has a lot to do with whether we are satisfied with our lives or not
Pro 12v14 – A man is satisfied by the fruit of his mouth
Our words are like seeds which will eventually produce a harvest
Mark 4v14 – Parable of sower: The sower sows the word...
Gen 8v22 – God's promise to Noah: While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night, shall not cease
Gal 6v7 – Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap
If we will sow the word of God – and these things that agree with the word – in our hearts we will eventually reap a harvest – after its kind
Does it seem that God isn't answering your prayers?
John 15v7 – If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you – you will ask what you desire and it will be done for you
What are you saying (and seeing) after you've prayed?
Imagine Jesus laying hands upon you this morning and saying to you “From this day forward you will have whatever you say”
Mark 11v23 – For assuredly I say to you whoever says to this mountain 'Be removed and cast into the sea', and does not doubt in his heart, but believes these things he says will be done – he will have whatever he says
We need to STOP 'Saying what we have' and START saying 'What we want to see'
Start to speak the ANSWER and stop speaking the PROBLEM!
Remember – the law of seedtime and harvest!
Stick our your tongue again!
WORKS – to follow
WONDERS – to follow
