You'd Better Say Something - It's On You pt. 3

Adam disobeyed God, ‘the earth came under the dominion of darkness’ – Col 1:13

Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."- Luke 4:5-7

1^st Adam gave Satan that authority, & 2^nd Adam had to take it back

Jesus gives us his Spirit to empower us to operate in that Dominion 

Josh 10:12-14 NIV

On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

"O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."

13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,

till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.

14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a man. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!

Mark 11:22-23

Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God.  23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

You’d Better Say Something

We have yet to realize the power of our mouths

Get Married

Get Saved

God gives our Words Creative Power and Life

•  Life and Death are in the power of the tongue – Prov 18:21
•  We shall have what we say – Mark 11:23

This is how God is Going to judge us – by our mouths

Matt 12:36. I say to you that for every idle word men may speak,

they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  

³⁷ For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

God expects our Words to Work

To be employed for a purpose, profitable

Lifelock Commercial:  Situation Monitors    

We say what we have - monitor our situations

And we complain about our situations…

Murmuring doesn’t change the situation, it brings the destroyer

1 Cor 10:10.  Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured,

and were destroyed of the destroyer.

So, stop complaining to people

Stop talking to God about how big the mountain is

Open your mouth and make something happen

Talk to the mountain!

Mark 11:22-23

Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God.  23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

1. Have Faith in God:  not just that God can do it

•  Believe what He says to you &
•  Believe what He says about you

1. Deal with your Doubt:

Some things only your voice can activate

Doubt is more powerful than your words

               Doubt overrides your voice – makes my words powerless

Double-minded person won’t receive anything – Jms 1:6-8

               Babel: stop what’s in the imagination from becoming reality

•  You cannot doubt yourself

1 Thess 5:19.  Don’t quenched the Spirit – Don’t stop your spiritual nature

1. Be Confident of the Desired End

You cannot doubt your voice

If you have mountains – You’d Better Say Something!!

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. – Ps 81:10

We are most like God when we are using our mouths – speaking creatively

          “And God said…”

Every Word God speaks has the power for its own fulfillment

Isa 55:11. So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please,

And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Our Words have the power for their own fulfillment

Stop praying for Him to do something and Say Something

Ex.  JOSHUA

God is who He says He is
And He will do what He said He would do
Therefore, I am who God says I am
And can do what God says I can do
