  • Broadcast of the gospel truth.
  • 00:00:27.650 --> 00:00:30.120
  • I'm now in the middle of my
  • 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.221
  • Second week teaching on the...
  • 00:00:31.221 --> 00:00:33.356
  • The believer's authority. and
  • 00:00:33.356 --> 00:00:35.625
  • Actually, i'm teaching this in
  • 00:00:35.625 --> 00:00:37.393
  • Conjunction with the previous
  • 00:00:37.393 --> 00:00:38.928
  • Teaching that i did about the
  • 00:00:38.928 --> 00:00:40.330
  • True nature of god. and i
  • 00:00:40.330 --> 00:00:42.565
  • Consider these two things about
  • 00:00:42.565 --> 00:00:44.267
  • What is god really like? you
  • 00:00:44.267 --> 00:00:46.870
  • Know, there's so much wrath and
  • 00:00:46.936 --> 00:00:48.438
  • Know, there's so much wrath and harshness and punishment in the
  • 00:00:48.505 --> 00:00:50.306
  • Harshness and punishment in the old testament. in the new
  • 00:00:50.373 --> 00:00:52.142
  • Old testament. in the new testament, we see a grace and a
  • 00:00:52.208 --> 00:00:53.910
  • Testament, we see a grace and a mercy, but it leaves people
  • 00:00:53.977 --> 00:00:55.879
  • Mercy, but it leaves people thinking, is god schizophrenic?
  • 00:00:55.945 --> 00:00:57.080
  • And so i spent weeks
  • 00:00:58.314 --> 00:01:00.283
  • And so i spent weeks teaching about what
  • 00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:01.117
  • Teaching about what the true nature of god is.
  • 00:01:01.184 --> 00:01:02.919
  • 1 john, chapter 4, verses 8
  • 00:01:02.986 --> 00:01:04.921
  • 1 john, chapter 4, verses 8 and 16 says, god is love.
  • 00:01:04.988 --> 00:01:07.690
  • And then after we establish
  • 00:01:07.757 --> 00:01:09.325
  • And then after we establish this... if you understand the
  • 00:01:09.392 --> 00:01:12.228
  • This... if you understand the authority of the believer, this
  • 00:01:12.295 --> 00:01:13.796
  • Authority of the believer, this is why god doesn't just step in
  • 00:01:13.863 --> 00:01:16.766
  • Is why god doesn't just step in and intervene and just solve all
  • 00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:19.169
  • And intervene and just solve all the problems in your life. he
  • 00:01:19.235 --> 00:01:21.137
  • The problems in your life. he gave you authority. he gave
  • 00:01:21.204 --> 00:01:23.106
  • Gave you authority. he gave originally authority to adam and
  • 00:01:23.173 --> 00:01:25.375
  • Originally authority to adam and eve, to mankind, and mankind
  • 00:01:25.441 --> 00:01:28.444
  • Eve, to mankind, and mankind turned this authority over to
  • 00:01:28.511 --> 00:01:30.346
  • Turned this authority over to the devil. and satan has been
  • 00:01:30.413 --> 00:01:32.348
  • The devil. and satan has been using our own god-given power
  • 00:01:32.415 --> 00:01:35.685
  • Using our own god-given power and authority against us. and
  • 00:01:35.752 --> 00:01:38.354
  • And authority against us. and i've spent a lot of time the
  • 00:01:38.421 --> 00:01:39.622
  • I've spent a lot of time the last week and a half talking
  • 00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:42.358
  • Last week and a half talking about how all of this sets up.
  • 00:01:42.425 --> 00:01:43.760
  • About how all of this sets up. but god limited his sovereignty
  • 00:01:43.826 --> 00:01:47.664
  • But god limited his sovereignty by giving us authority. he will
  • 00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:50.700
  • By giving us authority. he will not overstep the authority that
  • 00:01:50.767 --> 00:01:53.303
  • Not overstep the authority that he's given us. it's a covenant
  • 00:01:53.369 --> 00:01:55.205
  • He's given us. it's a covenant to god. he won't change it. and
  • 00:01:55.271 --> 00:01:57.740
  • To god. he won't change it. and so we have to learn, what has
  • 00:01:57.807 --> 00:02:00.109
  • So we have to learn, what has god done, what do we have
  • 00:02:00.176 --> 00:02:02.645
  • God done, what do we have authority over, and then we have
  • 00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:04.881
  • Authority over, and then we have to go out and use the power and
  • 00:02:04.948 --> 00:02:07.083
  • To go out and use the power and the authority that god has given
  • 00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:08.918
  • The authority that god has given us instead of coming to god as a
  • 00:02:08.985 --> 00:02:11.654
  • Us instead of coming to god as a beggar, as saying that god, we
  • 00:02:11.721 --> 00:02:13.690
  • Beggar, as saying that god, we have nothing, we can do nothing,
  • 00:02:13.756 --> 00:02:15.291
  • Have nothing, we can do nothing, but i know that you can do all
  • 00:02:15.358 --> 00:02:16.993
  • But i know that you can do all things, and then we just beg him
  • 00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:18.928
  • Things, and then we just beg him and then wait to see what he's
  • 00:02:18.995 --> 00:02:20.163
  • And then wait to see what he's going to do. god has already
  • 00:02:20.230 --> 00:02:22.098
  • Going to do. god has already done everything he's going to do
  • 00:02:22.165 --> 00:02:23.499
  • Done everything he's going to do through jesus. he purchased it.
  • 00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:25.535
  • Through jesus. he purchased it. now he gave you power and
  • 00:02:25.602 --> 00:02:27.337
  • Now he gave you power and authority. and if you aren't
  • 00:02:27.403 --> 00:02:29.239
  • Authority. and if you aren't seeing the devil flee, it's
  • 00:02:29.305 --> 00:02:30.840
  • Seeing the devil flee, it's because you aren't resisting
  • 00:02:30.907 --> 00:02:32.775
  • Because you aren't resisting him, james, chapter 4, verse 7.
  • 00:02:32.842 --> 00:02:36.379
  • Him, james, chapter 4, verse 7. and man, i've said a lot of
  • 00:02:36.446 --> 00:02:38.014
  • And man, i've said a lot of great things. and i know that
  • 00:02:38.081 --> 00:02:39.382
  • Great things. and i know that the things that i'm saying here,
  • 00:02:39.449 --> 00:02:40.583
  • The things that i'm saying here, this is contrary to the way that
  • 00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:42.352
  • This is contrary to the way that most people believe. and so, i
  • 00:02:42.418 --> 00:02:44.587
  • Most people believe. and so, i have a tendency to want to go
  • 00:02:44.654 --> 00:02:46.089
  • Have a tendency to want to go back and just say these things
  • 00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:47.457
  • Back and just say these things over and over because i know not
  • 00:02:47.523 --> 00:02:48.958
  • Over and over because i know not every person watches every day,
  • 00:02:49.025 --> 00:02:51.227
  • Every person watches every day, but i do want to move on to some
  • 00:02:51.294 --> 00:02:52.762
  • But i do want to move on to some other things. let me just give
  • 00:02:52.829 --> 00:02:54.397
  • Other things. let me just give you an example of how jesus
  • 00:02:54.464 --> 00:02:57.300
  • You an example of how jesus operated in this power and
  • 00:02:57.367 --> 00:03:00.136
  • Operated in this power and authority and then told his
  • 00:03:00.203 --> 00:03:01.671
  • Authority and then told his disciples ex... how to do
  • 00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:03.673
  • Disciples ex... how to do exactly what he had done.
  • 00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:05.875
  • Right here in mark, chapter 11,
  • 00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:08.177
  • Right here in mark, chapter 11, and in verse 12, it says, and on
  • 00:03:08.244 --> 00:03:10.513
  • And in verse 12, it says, and on the morrow, when they were come
  • 00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:12.815
  • The morrow, when they were come from jerusalem..., he was
  • 00:03:12.882 --> 00:03:14.751
  • From jerusalem..., he was hungry: and seeing a fig tree
  • 00:03:14.817 --> 00:03:16.753
  • Hungry: and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came,
  • 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:18.888
  • Afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing
  • 00:03:18.955 --> 00:03:20.657
  • If haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it,
  • 00:03:20.723 --> 00:03:21.958
  • Thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for
  • 00:03:22.025 --> 00:03:24.027
  • He found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
  • 00:03:24.093 --> 00:03:26.863
  • So this is where he cursed the
  • 00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:28.164
  • So this is where he cursed the fig tree. but right before i get
  • 00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:29.599
  • Fig tree. but right before i get into reading that, i've... i...
  • 00:03:29.666 --> 00:03:30.933
  • Into reading that, i've... i... i've had some people counter me
  • 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.502
  • I've had some people counter me on this before and say, you're
  • 00:03:32.568 --> 00:03:34.637
  • On this before and say, you're missing the whole thing, you
  • 00:03:34.704 --> 00:03:36.506
  • Missing the whole thing, you know, that fig trees produce
  • 00:03:36.572 --> 00:03:39.142
  • Know, that fig trees produce leaves before they produce figs.
  • 00:03:39.208 --> 00:03:41.477
  • Leaves before they produce figs. and i don't... i'm not a... an
  • 00:03:41.544 --> 00:03:43.680
  • And i don't... i'm not a... an expert on this, but because i
  • 00:03:43.746 --> 00:03:45.648
  • Expert on this, but because i had been countered on this and
  • 00:03:45.715 --> 00:03:47.183
  • Had been countered on this and what the scripture says, we
  • 00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:48.751
  • What the scripture says, we actually contacted the israeli
  • 00:03:48.818 --> 00:03:50.987
  • Actually contacted the israeli embassy, and we asked them this
  • 00:03:51.054 --> 00:03:53.289
  • Embassy, and we asked them this question. and in israel... it
  • 00:03:53.356 --> 00:03:54.957
  • Question. and in israel... it may be different in different
  • 00:03:55.024 --> 00:03:56.125
  • May be different in different parts of the world. i don't
  • 00:03:56.192 --> 00:03:57.760
  • Parts of the world. i don't know. but in israel, they said
  • 00:03:57.827 --> 00:03:59.562
  • Know. but in israel, they said that a fig tree produces figs
  • 00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:02.465
  • That a fig tree produces figs before it produces leaves, so
  • 00:04:02.532 --> 00:04:05.201
  • Before it produces leaves, so just like this says. maybe your
  • 00:04:05.268 --> 00:04:07.136
  • Just like this says. maybe your fig tree might be different, but
  • 00:04:07.203 --> 00:04:08.805
  • Fig tree might be different, but this is accurate the way that
  • 00:04:08.871 --> 00:04:10.907
  • This is accurate the way that it's said right here. and so he
  • 00:04:10.973 --> 00:04:13.343
  • It's said right here. and so he came to this fig tree because it
  • 00:04:13.409 --> 00:04:15.044
  • Came to this fig tree because it had leaves, and if it had
  • 00:04:15.111 --> 00:04:16.446
  • Had leaves, and if it had leaves, that means it was
  • 00:04:16.512 --> 00:04:17.447
  • Leaves, that means it was supposed to also have figs.
  • 00:04:17.513 --> 00:04:19.716
  • Supposed to also have figs. it wasn't time for figs yet,
  • 00:04:19.782 --> 00:04:21.351
  • It wasn't time for figs yet, but it wasn't time for the
  • 00:04:21.417 --> 00:04:22.352
  • But it wasn't time for the leaves yet. and so this tree
  • 00:04:22.418 --> 00:04:24.887
  • Leaves yet. and so this tree was professing something
  • 00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:26.823
  • Was professing something that it didn't possess.
  • 00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:28.358
  • And in verse 14, ...jesus
  • 00:04:28.424 --> 00:04:30.493
  • And in verse 14, ...jesus answered and said unto it,....
  • 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.062
  • You know, i referred to this on
  • 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:34.230
  • You know, i referred to this on yesterday's program. but it says
  • 00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:36.566
  • Yesterday's program. but it says that jesus answered this fig
  • 00:04:36.632 --> 00:04:38.735
  • That jesus answered this fig tree. most people would say, the
  • 00:04:38.801 --> 00:04:41.304
  • Tree. most people would say, the fig tree, he answered it? this
  • 00:04:41.371 --> 00:04:43.072
  • Fig tree, he answered it? this fig tree hadn't said anything to
  • 00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:44.540
  • Fig tree hadn't said anything to him. well, it did by its
  • 00:04:44.607 --> 00:04:45.942
  • Him. well, it did by its actions. it had leaves. and if
  • 00:04:46.008 --> 00:04:49.078
  • Actions. it had leaves. and if it had leaves, it was supposed
  • 00:04:49.145 --> 00:04:50.480
  • It had leaves, it was supposed to also have figs. and so, this
  • 00:04:50.546 --> 00:04:52.281
  • To also have figs. and so, this fig tree had been speaking to
  • 00:04:52.348 --> 00:04:54.417
  • Fig tree had been speaking to jesus, and jesus answered it.
  • 00:04:54.484 --> 00:04:56.753
  • Jesus, and jesus answered it. and i made the application
  • 00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:58.187
  • And i made the application yesterday, that anything that
  • 00:04:58.254 --> 00:04:59.856
  • Yesterday, that anything that talks to you, you talk back to
  • 00:04:59.922 --> 00:05:02.492
  • Talks to you, you talk back to it. if your checkbook is in the
  • 00:05:02.558 --> 00:05:04.761
  • It. if your checkbook is in the red, and it's telling you, that
  • 00:05:04.827 --> 00:05:06.829
  • Red, and it's telling you, that man, the word of god doesn't
  • 00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:08.197
  • Man, the word of god doesn't work, you talk to that
  • 00:05:08.264 --> 00:05:10.800
  • Work, you talk to that checkbook. you speak to it and
  • 00:05:10.867 --> 00:05:12.535
  • Checkbook. you speak to it and say, in the name of jesus, i'm
  • 00:05:12.602 --> 00:05:14.170
  • Say, in the name of jesus, i'm saying that you're all going to
  • 00:05:14.237 --> 00:05:15.505
  • Saying that you're all going to start getting into the black,
  • 00:05:15.571 --> 00:05:17.373
  • Start getting into the black, all of this red is going to
  • 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:18.975
  • All of this red is going to leave, and you speak to things.
  • 00:05:19.041 --> 00:05:21.677
  • Leave, and you speak to things. i know people think i'm weird,
  • 00:05:21.744 --> 00:05:23.045
  • I know people think i'm weird, but i think you're weird. this
  • 00:05:23.112 --> 00:05:24.147
  • But i think you're weird. this is exactly what jesus did. this
  • 00:05:24.213 --> 00:05:26.916
  • Is exactly what jesus did. this is not what most of us would do.
  • 00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:28.718
  • Is not what most of us would do. this is not the way that our
  • 00:05:28.785 --> 00:05:29.919
  • This is not the way that our culture functions today, but
  • 00:05:29.986 --> 00:05:31.554
  • Culture functions today, but that's the reason that jesus got
  • 00:05:31.621 --> 00:05:33.189
  • That's the reason that jesus got different results than we've got
  • 00:05:33.256 --> 00:05:34.690
  • Different results than we've got because he wasn't bound by this
  • 00:05:34.757 --> 00:05:37.226
  • Because he wasn't bound by this unbelief culture, this
  • 00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:39.662
  • Unbelief culture, this pseudoscience culture, to where
  • 00:05:39.729 --> 00:05:41.731
  • Pseudoscience culture, to where if you can't see it or prove it
  • 00:05:41.798 --> 00:05:43.466
  • If you can't see it or prove it in a test tube it doesn't exist.
  • 00:05:43.533 --> 00:05:45.668
  • In a test tube it doesn't exist. there's a lot of stuff that
  • 00:05:45.735 --> 00:05:46.903
  • There's a lot of stuff that exists in the spiritual realm
  • 00:05:46.969 --> 00:05:48.604
  • Exists in the spiritual realm that are way beyond our
  • 00:05:48.671 --> 00:05:49.705
  • That are way beyond our ability to figure out. we just
  • 00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:51.240
  • Ability to figure out. we just have to take the revealed
  • 00:05:51.307 --> 00:05:53.109
  • Have to take the revealed word of god and operate in it.
  • 00:05:53.176 --> 00:05:55.044
  • And so, it says right here,
  • 00:05:55.111 --> 00:05:56.312
  • And so, it says right here, that jesus answered and
  • 00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:58.114
  • That jesus answered and said unto this fig tree,
  • 00:05:58.181 --> 00:05:59.549
  • Said unto this fig tree, ...no man eat fruit of thee
  • 00:05:59.615 --> 00:06:01.417
  • ...no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. and
  • 00:06:01.484 --> 00:06:03.686
  • Hereafter for ever. and his disciples heard it.
  • 00:06:03.753 --> 00:06:05.221
  • The way that it's stated right
  • 00:06:06.489 --> 00:06:07.623
  • The way that it's stated right here, the disciples took note of
  • 00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:10.693
  • Here, the disciples took note of the fact that he had spoken to
  • 00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:12.428
  • The fact that he had spoken to this fig tree. and that becomes
  • 00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:14.330
  • This fig tree. and that becomes very important as you go on
  • 00:06:14.397 --> 00:06:15.665
  • Very important as you go on through the rest of the story.
  • 00:06:15.731 --> 00:06:17.333
  • Through the rest of the story. so jesus and his disciples went
  • 00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:19.635
  • So jesus and his disciples went into jerusalem, and this is
  • 00:06:19.702 --> 00:06:21.304
  • Into jerusalem, and this is where he drove the money
  • 00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:22.205
  • Where he drove the money changers out of the temple.
  • 00:06:22.271 --> 00:06:23.306
  • Changers out of the temple. he... this is at the very end of
  • 00:06:23.372 --> 00:06:24.874
  • He... this is at the very end of his ministry, right before his
  • 00:06:24.941 --> 00:06:27.009
  • His ministry, right before his arrest and crucifixion. and he
  • 00:06:27.076 --> 00:06:29.078
  • Arrest and crucifixion. and he also did this in john, chapter
  • 00:06:29.145 --> 00:06:31.314
  • Also did this in john, chapter 2, at the beginning of his
  • 00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:32.748
  • 2, at the beginning of his ministry. so jesus had to drive
  • 00:06:32.815 --> 00:06:35.017
  • Ministry. so jesus had to drive the money changers out of the
  • 00:06:35.084 --> 00:06:36.252
  • The money changers out of the temple twice, at the beginning
  • 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.055
  • Temple twice, at the beginning and at the end of his ministry.
  • 00:06:39.121 --> 00:06:41.157
  • And at the end of his ministry. there's a lesson that we can
  • 00:06:41.224 --> 00:06:42.258
  • There's a lesson that we can learn from that. that even
  • 00:06:42.325 --> 00:06:43.960
  • Learn from that. that even jesus, when he taught people,
  • 00:06:44.026 --> 00:06:46.162
  • Jesus, when he taught people, and i mean he forcefully taught
  • 00:06:46.229 --> 00:06:48.130
  • And i mean he forcefully taught people. in john, chapter 2, he
  • 00:06:48.197 --> 00:06:50.066
  • People. in john, chapter 2, he made a whip and made a cat o'
  • 00:06:50.132 --> 00:06:52.635
  • Made a whip and made a cat o' nine tails and beat people and
  • 00:06:52.702 --> 00:06:54.737
  • Nine tails and beat people and overturned the tables and drove
  • 00:06:54.804 --> 00:06:56.472
  • Overturned the tables and drove them out, and he had to repeat
  • 00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:59.175
  • Them out, and he had to repeat this three years later, right
  • 00:06:59.242 --> 00:07:01.310
  • This three years later, right here. so they went into
  • 00:07:01.377 --> 00:07:02.712
  • Here. so they went into jerusalem, he overturned
  • 00:07:02.778 --> 00:07:04.013
  • Jerusalem, he overturned the tables, drove the money
  • 00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:05.381
  • The tables, drove the money changers out, and then they
  • 00:07:05.448 --> 00:07:06.983
  • Changers out, and then they went back to bethany where
  • 00:07:07.049 --> 00:07:09.151
  • Went back to bethany where they were staying. and it says
  • 00:07:09.218 --> 00:07:11.020
  • In verse 20, this is mark 11:20,
  • 00:07:11.087 --> 00:07:13.222
  • In verse 20, this is mark 11:20, and in the morning, as they
  • 00:07:13.289 --> 00:07:14.624
  • And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig
  • 00:07:14.690 --> 00:07:16.459
  • Passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
  • 00:07:16.526 --> 00:07:19.161
  • So this is about 24 hours later.
  • 00:07:19.228 --> 00:07:21.697
  • So this is about 24 hours later. he had done this on the way into
  • 00:07:21.764 --> 00:07:23.466
  • He had done this on the way into jerusalem. he drove the money
  • 00:07:23.533 --> 00:07:25.468
  • Jerusalem. he drove the money changers out. they went back
  • 00:07:25.535 --> 00:07:27.236
  • Changers out. they went back and spent the night. and then
  • 00:07:27.303 --> 00:07:28.504
  • And spent the night. and then the next morning they passed
  • 00:07:28.571 --> 00:07:29.872
  • The next morning they passed by this same fig tree,
  • 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:31.407
  • And it says, ...they saw the fig
  • 00:07:31.474 --> 00:07:33.175
  • And it says, ...they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
  • 00:07:33.242 --> 00:07:35.978
  • Now this is important. because
  • 00:07:36.045 --> 00:07:37.780
  • Now this is important. because if you would have been there
  • 00:07:37.847 --> 00:07:38.848
  • If you would have been there looking at this fig tree, jesus
  • 00:07:38.915 --> 00:07:40.917
  • Looking at this fig tree, jesus spoke to this fig tree and said,
  • 00:07:40.983 --> 00:07:43.452
  • Spoke to this fig tree and said, you're dead, no man's ever going
  • 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.187
  • You're dead, no man's ever going to eat fruit of you again. did
  • 00:07:45.254 --> 00:07:47.023
  • To eat fruit of you again. did you know in the natural, it
  • 00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:48.624
  • You know in the natural, it didn't look like a single thing
  • 00:07:48.691 --> 00:07:50.059
  • Didn't look like a single thing had changed. you know, if you
  • 00:07:50.126 --> 00:07:51.961
  • Had changed. you know, if you were to cut off a rose, that
  • 00:07:52.028 --> 00:07:53.996
  • Were to cut off a rose, that rose would still look like it's
  • 00:07:54.063 --> 00:07:55.765
  • Rose would still look like it's fresh, even though the moment
  • 00:07:55.831 --> 00:07:57.199
  • Fresh, even though the moment you sever it from the vine, i
  • 00:07:57.266 --> 00:07:59.168
  • You sever it from the vine, i can guarantee that thing is
  • 00:07:59.235 --> 00:08:00.269
  • Can guarantee that thing is dead. now you can put it into
  • 00:08:00.336 --> 00:08:01.771
  • Dead. now you can put it into water and you can put some sugar
  • 00:08:01.837 --> 00:08:03.205
  • Water and you can put some sugar in it and maybe make it last for
  • 00:08:03.272 --> 00:08:05.408
  • In it and maybe make it last for a week or something like that,
  • 00:08:05.474 --> 00:08:06.809
  • A week or something like that, but the moment you sever that
  • 00:08:06.876 --> 00:08:08.411
  • But the moment you sever that from its source, that thing is
  • 00:08:08.477 --> 00:08:10.179
  • From its source, that thing is dead, and it just takes a time
  • 00:08:10.246 --> 00:08:11.814
  • Dead, and it just takes a time for what happened below the
  • 00:08:11.881 --> 00:08:13.849
  • For what happened below the surface or in the roots to
  • 00:08:13.916 --> 00:08:15.751
  • Surface or in the roots to manifest above the ground. and
  • 00:08:15.818 --> 00:08:18.220
  • Manifest above the ground. and so this is what happened with
  • 00:08:18.287 --> 00:08:19.589
  • So this is what happened with jesus. the moment he spoke... if
  • 00:08:19.655 --> 00:08:21.257
  • Jesus. the moment he spoke... if you read this same thing over
  • 00:08:21.324 --> 00:08:22.358
  • In matthew's account, it
  • 00:08:22.425 --> 00:08:24.260
  • In matthew's account, it says, ...immediately the
  • 00:08:24.327 --> 00:08:26.228
  • Says, ...immediately the fig tree withered away.
  • 00:08:26.295 --> 00:08:28.130
  • But it happened in the roots,
  • 00:08:28.197 --> 00:08:30.232
  • But it happened in the roots, and it took about 24 hours for
  • 00:08:30.299 --> 00:08:32.335
  • And it took about 24 hours for what happened below the surface
  • 00:08:32.401 --> 00:08:34.070
  • What happened below the surface where you couldn't see to
  • 00:08:34.136 --> 00:08:35.571
  • Where you couldn't see to manifest itself above ground.
  • 00:08:35.638 --> 00:08:37.773
  • Manifest itself above ground. there is a great application of
  • 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.376
  • There is a great application of that to us, that when we speak
  • 00:08:40.443 --> 00:08:42.011
  • That to us, that when we speak to like sickness, you may not
  • 00:08:42.078 --> 00:08:44.180
  • To like sickness, you may not see your body instantly respond.
  • 00:08:44.246 --> 00:08:47.116
  • See your body instantly respond. but if you speak in faith, and
  • 00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:48.618
  • But if you speak in faith, and he goes on to say these things
  • 00:08:48.684 --> 00:08:49.919
  • He goes on to say these things here, and we'll talk about it.
  • 00:08:49.986 --> 00:08:51.520
  • Here, and we'll talk about it. if you speak in faith and don't
  • 00:08:51.587 --> 00:08:53.089
  • If you speak in faith and don't doubt in your heart, the moment
  • 00:08:53.155 --> 00:08:55.224
  • Doubt in your heart, the moment you speak, it's a done deal. now
  • 00:08:55.291 --> 00:08:58.060
  • You speak, it's a done deal. now it may take a period of time for
  • 00:08:58.127 --> 00:08:59.462
  • It may take a period of time for what has happened in the spirit
  • 00:08:59.528 --> 00:09:01.364
  • What has happened in the spirit realm to manifest itself in the
  • 00:09:01.430 --> 00:09:03.666
  • Realm to manifest itself in the physical realm. same thing can
  • 00:09:03.733 --> 00:09:05.201
  • Physical realm. same thing can be true with finances. the
  • 00:09:05.267 --> 00:09:06.969
  • Be true with finances. the moment you believe and the
  • 00:09:07.036 --> 00:09:08.204
  • Moment you believe and the moment you start speaking your
  • 00:09:08.270 --> 00:09:09.805
  • Moment you start speaking your faith, whatever the hindrance is
  • 00:09:09.872 --> 00:09:11.807
  • Faith, whatever the hindrance is in the physical or in the
  • 00:09:11.874 --> 00:09:12.975
  • In the physical or in the spiritual realm, it's broken.
  • 00:09:13.042 --> 00:09:14.577
  • Spiritual realm, it's broken. and it may take a period of time
  • 00:09:14.644 --> 00:09:15.978
  • And it may take a period of time for what happened in the
  • 00:09:16.045 --> 00:09:17.079
  • For what happened in the spiritual realm to come into the
  • 00:09:17.146 --> 00:09:19.148
  • Spiritual realm to come into the physical reality, but it's a
  • 00:09:19.215 --> 00:09:21.384
  • Physical reality, but it's a done deal. man, i've got a great
  • 00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:24.487
  • Done deal. man, i've got a great teaching on that entitled
  • 00:09:24.553 --> 00:09:26.088
  • Teaching on that entitled what to do when your
  • 00:09:26.155 --> 00:09:28.624
  • What to do when your prayers seem unanswered,
  • 00:09:28.691 --> 00:09:30.960
  • Prayers seem unanswered, and it's based on daniel,
  • 00:09:31.027 --> 00:09:32.294
  • And it's based on daniel, chapter 9 and chapter 10.
  • 00:09:32.361 --> 00:09:33.996
  • So it says, that ...they saw the
  • 00:09:34.597 --> 00:09:36.132
  • So it says, that ...they saw the fig tree dried up from the
  • 00:09:36.198 --> 00:09:37.533
  • Fig tree dried up from the roots. and in verse 21, it says,
  • 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.301
  • Roots. and in verse 21, it says, and peter calling to remembrance
  • 00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:41.671
  • And peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, master,
  • 00:09:41.737 --> 00:09:42.972
  • Saith unto him, master, behold, the fig tree which
  • 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.206
  • Behold, the fig tree which you cursed is withered away.
  • 00:09:44.273 --> 00:09:46.742
  • And you know, i think we don't
  • 00:09:46.809 --> 00:09:49.812
  • And you know, i think we don't hear the inflection of peter's
  • 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.048
  • Hear the inflection of peter's voice when he said this. but i
  • 00:09:52.114 --> 00:09:53.516
  • Voice when he said this. but i don't believe it was like,
  • 00:09:53.582 --> 00:09:54.617
  • Don't believe it was like, master, the fig tree that you
  • 00:09:54.684 --> 00:09:56.318
  • Master, the fig tree that you cursed is withered away. it was
  • 00:09:56.385 --> 00:09:58.120
  • Cursed is withered away. it was more like... he was shocked,
  • 00:09:58.187 --> 00:09:59.422
  • More like... he was shocked, like master, this fig tree that
  • 00:09:59.488 --> 00:10:02.558
  • Like master, this fig tree that you cursed is withered away! he
  • 00:10:02.625 --> 00:10:04.093
  • You cursed is withered away! he was just blown away by this,
  • 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:06.462
  • Was just blown away by this, because jesus didn't touch the
  • 00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:08.597
  • Because jesus didn't touch the fig tree, he didn't put salt on
  • 00:10:08.664 --> 00:10:11.600
  • Fig tree, he didn't put salt on the fig tree, he didn't take an
  • 00:10:11.667 --> 00:10:12.968
  • The fig tree, he didn't take an axe to it and cut anything down.
  • 00:10:13.035 --> 00:10:15.371
  • Axe to it and cut anything down. all he did was speak words.
  • 00:10:15.438 --> 00:10:18.908
  • All he did was speak words. and it just amazed peter, that
  • 00:10:18.974 --> 00:10:21.610
  • And it just amazed peter, that by just talking to a fig tree,
  • 00:10:21.677 --> 00:10:24.580
  • By just talking to a fig tree, you could kill it. you
  • 00:10:24.647 --> 00:10:26.982
  • You could kill it. you know, the scripture says
  • 00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:27.883
  • In proverbs 18:21, death
  • 00:10:27.950 --> 00:10:29.885
  • In proverbs 18:21, death and life are in the power
  • 00:10:29.952 --> 00:10:31.087
  • And life are in the power of the tongue....
  • 00:10:31.153 --> 00:10:32.121
  • Many people have heard
  • 00:10:32.188 --> 00:10:33.155
  • Many people have heard that verse, but we really
  • 00:10:33.222 --> 00:10:34.557
  • That verse, but we really don't believe that. but this
  • 00:10:34.623 --> 00:10:35.925
  • Don't believe that. but this is exactly... this is an
  • 00:10:35.991 --> 00:10:37.993
  • Is exactly... this is an illustration of how powerful our
  • 00:10:38.060 --> 00:10:40.796
  • Illustration of how powerful our words are if they're mixed with
  • 00:10:40.863 --> 00:10:42.732
  • Words are if they're mixed with faith, if we don't doubt in our
  • 00:10:42.798 --> 00:10:44.467
  • Faith, if we don't doubt in our heart. and so i believe that
  • 00:10:44.533 --> 00:10:46.802
  • Heart. and so i believe that peter was just shocked, saying,
  • 00:10:46.869 --> 00:10:48.504
  • Peter was just shocked, saying, master, the fig tree that you
  • 00:10:48.571 --> 00:10:50.206
  • Master, the fig tree that you cursed just withered away.
  • 00:10:50.272 --> 00:10:51.841
  • And here's jesus' reaction in
  • 00:10:51.907 --> 00:10:53.809
  • And here's jesus' reaction in verse 22, ...jesus said unto
  • 00:10:53.876 --> 00:10:55.411
  • Verse 22, ...jesus said unto them, have faith in god.
  • 00:10:55.478 --> 00:10:57.713
  • And i don't believe that jesus
  • 00:10:57.780 --> 00:10:59.148
  • And i don't believe that jesus just said, have faith in god,
  • 00:10:59.215 --> 00:11:01.484
  • Just said, have faith in god, like that. i believe it was more
  • 00:11:01.550 --> 00:11:03.018
  • Like that. i believe it was more like, have faith in god. what's
  • 00:11:03.085 --> 00:11:05.721
  • Like, have faith in god. what's wrong with you guys? they had
  • 00:11:05.788 --> 00:11:07.823
  • Wrong with you guys? they had been with him for years. they
  • 00:11:07.890 --> 00:11:09.525
  • Been with him for years. they had seen him raise the dead.
  • 00:11:09.592 --> 00:11:11.293
  • Had seen him raise the dead. they had seen his power
  • 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.695
  • They had seen his power released. he had spoken many
  • 00:11:12.762 --> 00:11:14.363
  • Released. he had spoken many times. in the 8th chapter of the
  • 00:11:14.430 --> 00:11:16.432
  • Times. in the 8th chapter of the book of matthew, is where the
  • 00:11:16.499 --> 00:11:17.767
  • Book of matthew, is where the centurion came, and the
  • 00:11:17.833 --> 00:11:19.201
  • Centurion came, and the centurion said, i don't need you
  • 00:11:19.268 --> 00:11:20.836
  • Centurion said, i don't need you to come to my house. i've got a
  • 00:11:20.903 --> 00:11:22.671
  • To come to my house. i've got a servant that needs to be healed,
  • 00:11:22.738 --> 00:11:23.906
  • Servant that needs to be healed, but if you'll just speak the
  • 00:11:23.973 --> 00:11:24.974
  • But if you'll just speak the word only, my servant shall be
  • 00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:27.143
  • Word only, my servant shall be whole. and jesus said, that's
  • 00:11:27.209 --> 00:11:28.477
  • Whole. and jesus said, that's the greatest faith i've ever
  • 00:11:28.544 --> 00:11:29.678
  • The greatest faith i've ever seen. they had seen jesus heal
  • 00:11:29.745 --> 00:11:31.881
  • Seen. they had seen jesus heal people by just speaking. he
  • 00:11:31.947 --> 00:11:33.516
  • People by just speaking. he didn't have to be present, lay
  • 00:11:33.582 --> 00:11:35.251
  • Didn't have to be present, lay his hands on people. they should
  • 00:11:35.317 --> 00:11:37.319
  • His hands on people. they should have understood the power of the
  • 00:11:37.386 --> 00:11:38.754
  • Have understood the power of the word. and i believe that jesus
  • 00:11:38.821 --> 00:11:40.122
  • Word. and i believe that jesus was more like saying, ...have
  • 00:11:40.189 --> 00:11:41.791
  • Was more like saying, ...have faith in god. there's a reason
  • 00:11:41.857 --> 00:11:44.660
  • Faith in god. there's a reason that you guys are called
  • 00:11:44.727 --> 00:11:45.995
  • That you guys are called duh-sciples. amen. i mean these
  • 00:11:46.061 --> 00:11:49.298
  • Duh-sciples. amen. i mean these guys were not the sharpest
  • 00:11:49.365 --> 00:11:51.667
  • Guys were not the sharpest pencil in the drawer sometimes.
  • 00:11:51.734 --> 00:11:54.170
  • Pencil in the drawer sometimes. and then he said this in
  • 00:11:54.236 --> 00:11:55.571
  • And then he said this in verse 23, and this is just
  • 00:11:55.638 --> 00:11:57.706
  • Verse 23, and this is just absolutely awesome.
  • 00:11:57.773 --> 00:11:59.375
  • He says, for verily i say
  • 00:11:59.441 --> 00:12:01.877
  • He says, for verily i say unto you,.... you know,
  • 00:12:01.944 --> 00:12:02.711
  • Any time he starts... the word
  • 00:12:02.778 --> 00:12:05.014
  • Any time he starts... the word verily means i'm telling you the
  • 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.615
  • Verily means i'm telling you the truth. verily, verily, it's the
  • 00:12:06.682 --> 00:12:09.051
  • Truth. verily, verily, it's the word amen in the greek. it means
  • 00:12:09.118 --> 00:12:11.253
  • Word amen in the greek. it means so be it. this is absolute
  • 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.222
  • So be it. this is absolute truth. anything that jesus said
  • 00:12:13.289 --> 00:12:15.891
  • Truth. anything that jesus said was truth, but when he has to
  • 00:12:15.958 --> 00:12:17.393
  • Was truth, but when he has to start his sentence with verily,
  • 00:12:17.459 --> 00:12:19.562
  • Start his sentence with verily, i say unto you, i'm telling you
  • 00:12:19.628 --> 00:12:20.930
  • I say unto you, i'm telling you the truth, it's because what he
  • 00:12:20.996 --> 00:12:22.832
  • The truth, it's because what he was going to say was so
  • 00:12:22.898 --> 00:12:23.999
  • Was going to say was so contrary, so radical to the way
  • 00:12:24.066 --> 00:12:26.468
  • Contrary, so radical to the way that most people thought that
  • 00:12:26.535 --> 00:12:27.970
  • That most people thought that they're bound to think he
  • 00:12:28.037 --> 00:12:28.971
  • They're bound to think he couldn't mean what he said,
  • 00:12:29.038 --> 00:12:30.172
  • Couldn't mean what he said, so he had to start by saying,
  • 00:12:30.239 --> 00:12:31.540
  • So he had to start by saying, i'm telling you the truth.
  • 00:12:31.607 --> 00:12:33.108
  • And here's what he told them. he
  • 00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:34.944
  • And here's what he told them. he says, ...that whosoever shall
  • 00:12:35.010 --> 00:12:37.146
  • Says, ...that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou
  • 00:12:37.213 --> 00:12:39.849
  • Say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into
  • 00:12:39.915 --> 00:12:41.717
  • Removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in
  • 00:12:41.784 --> 00:12:43.853
  • The sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe
  • 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.254
  • His heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith
  • 00:12:45.321 --> 00:12:46.689
  • That those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall
  • 00:12:46.755 --> 00:12:48.524
  • Shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
  • 00:12:48.591 --> 00:12:51.327
  • Man, there is a lot in this
  • 00:12:51.393 --> 00:12:53.295
  • Man, there is a lot in this verse. you know, kenneth hagin
  • 00:12:53.362 --> 00:12:55.030
  • Verse. you know, kenneth hagin used to teach on this verse so
  • 00:12:55.097 --> 00:12:56.866
  • Used to teach on this verse so much that many people thought he
  • 00:12:56.932 --> 00:12:58.400
  • Much that many people thought he wrote it. amen. but this was
  • 00:12:58.467 --> 00:13:00.870
  • Wrote it. amen. but this was kind of like his life verse.
  • 00:13:00.936 --> 00:13:02.271
  • Kind of like his life verse. this is what set him free. but
  • 00:13:02.338 --> 00:13:04.340
  • This is what set him free. but there are a lot of great, great
  • 00:13:04.406 --> 00:13:05.941
  • There are a lot of great, great things in here. there are three
  • 00:13:06.008 --> 00:13:07.943
  • Things in here. there are three times in this one verse that it
  • 00:13:08.010 --> 00:13:09.745
  • Times in this one verse that it talks about words. and remember
  • 00:13:09.812 --> 00:13:12.348
  • Talks about words. and remember that this is a response to him
  • 00:13:12.414 --> 00:13:15.084
  • That this is a response to him just speaking to the fig tree
  • 00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:16.986
  • Just speaking to the fig tree and the thing dying in the roots
  • 00:13:17.052 --> 00:13:19.121
  • And the thing dying in the roots immediately, and within 24
  • 00:13:19.188 --> 00:13:20.856
  • Immediately, and within 24 hours, everything above ground
  • 00:13:20.923 --> 00:13:22.625
  • Hours, everything above ground showed that it was dead.
  • 00:13:22.691 --> 00:13:24.126
  • Showed that it was dead. and so he's telling them
  • 00:13:24.193 --> 00:13:25.361
  • And so he's telling them about the power of words.
  • 00:13:25.427 --> 00:13:27.563
  • About the power of words. and so three times
  • 00:13:27.630 --> 00:13:28.564
  • He says, whosoever shall say
  • 00:13:28.631 --> 00:13:31.066
  • He says, whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou
  • 00:13:31.133 --> 00:13:32.334
  • Unto this mountain, be thou removed, be thou cast into the
  • 00:13:32.401 --> 00:13:33.869
  • Removed, be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his
  • 00:13:33.936 --> 00:13:35.371
  • Sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
  • 00:13:35.437 --> 00:13:37.039
  • Heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith
  • 00:13:37.106 --> 00:13:38.674
  • Those things which he saith will come to pass; he shall
  • 00:13:38.741 --> 00:13:40.209
  • Will come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
  • 00:13:40.276 --> 00:13:41.844
  • Three times words are used in
  • 00:13:41.911 --> 00:13:45.514
  • Three times words are used in this one verse. that's how you
  • 00:13:45.581 --> 00:13:47.716
  • This one verse. that's how you release the power of god. you
  • 00:13:47.783 --> 00:13:49.885
  • Release the power of god. you could go all the way back to the
  • 00:13:49.952 --> 00:13:51.520
  • Could go all the way back to the book of genesis, chapter 1, and
  • 00:13:51.587 --> 00:13:53.822
  • Book of genesis, chapter 1, and god said, let there be light....
  • 00:13:53.889 --> 00:13:56.325
  • God said, let there be light.... god said, let's separate the
  • 00:13:56.392 --> 00:13:58.694
  • God said, let's separate the waters from the dry land. ...god
  • 00:13:58.761 --> 00:14:01.196
  • Waters from the dry land. ...god said, let the earth bring
  • 00:14:01.263 --> 00:14:02.331
  • Said, let the earth bring forth.... god said, let us
  • 00:14:02.398 --> 00:14:04.233
  • Forth.... god said, let us create animals. ...god said, let
  • 00:14:04.300 --> 00:14:06.702
  • Create animals. ...god said, let us make man in our own image....
  • 00:14:06.769 --> 00:14:08.804
  • Us make man in our own image.... everything that is physical was
  • 00:14:08.871 --> 00:14:11.674
  • Everything that is physical was created by words, and the parent
  • 00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:15.344
  • Created by words, and the parent force is greater than the force
  • 00:14:15.411 --> 00:14:18.314
  • Force is greater than the force that it created. you might have
  • 00:14:18.380 --> 00:14:21.350
  • That it created. you might have to think about that to get the
  • 00:14:21.417 --> 00:14:22.718
  • To think about that to get the full benefit of what i'm trying
  • 00:14:22.785 --> 00:14:24.219
  • Full benefit of what i'm trying to say. but words created
  • 00:14:24.286 --> 00:14:26.855
  • To say. but words created everything that you see. you and
  • 00:14:26.922 --> 00:14:29.591
  • Everything that you see. you and me, everything in this natural
  • 00:14:29.658 --> 00:14:31.860
  • Me, everything in this natural world was created by words. so
  • 00:14:31.927 --> 00:14:35.297
  • World was created by words. so words are the parent force, and
  • 00:14:35.364 --> 00:14:37.466
  • Words are the parent force, and the force that was created, all
  • 00:14:37.533 --> 00:14:39.301
  • The force that was created, all of this physical, tangible
  • 00:14:39.368 --> 00:14:40.669
  • Of this physical, tangible stuff, it... it will respond to
  • 00:14:40.736 --> 00:14:43.005
  • Stuff, it... it will respond to words. and this is the reason
  • 00:14:43.072 --> 00:14:44.406
  • Words. and this is the reason that jesus just spoke to this
  • 00:14:44.473 --> 00:14:46.075
  • That jesus just spoke to this fig tree. again, i know that
  • 00:14:46.141 --> 00:14:48.110
  • Fig tree. again, i know that this goes contrary to our
  • 00:14:48.177 --> 00:14:49.478
  • This goes contrary to our western way of thinking. people
  • 00:14:49.545 --> 00:14:51.013
  • Western way of thinking. people think you're crazy. but you
  • 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.115
  • Think you're crazy. but you know, i've even read some
  • 00:14:53.182 --> 00:14:54.450
  • Know, i've even read some things. i... i can't verify all
  • 00:14:54.516 --> 00:14:57.653
  • Things. i... i can't verify all of this from just a secular
  • 00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.088
  • Of this from just a secular standpoint, but from the
  • 00:14:59.154 --> 00:15:00.255
  • Standpoint, but from the scripture right here, i can
  • 00:15:00.322 --> 00:15:01.423
  • Scripture right here, i can verify that inanimate objects,
  • 00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:04.426
  • Verify that inanimate objects, things respond to words. but
  • 00:15:04.493 --> 00:15:07.229
  • Things respond to words. but i've actually read some things
  • 00:15:07.296 --> 00:15:08.731
  • I've actually read some things about, they did a test one time,
  • 00:15:08.797 --> 00:15:10.466
  • About, they did a test one time, and they had some plants in a
  • 00:15:10.532 --> 00:15:12.401
  • And they had some plants in a room, and they had one person
  • 00:15:12.468 --> 00:15:14.670
  • Room, and they had one person that came in and spoke, and he
  • 00:15:14.737 --> 00:15:17.039
  • That came in and spoke, and he spoke kind words and... and said
  • 00:15:17.106 --> 00:15:19.441
  • Spoke kind words and... and said nice things. and then they had
  • 00:15:19.508 --> 00:15:21.543
  • Nice things. and then they had another person come in that was
  • 00:15:21.610 --> 00:15:23.178
  • Another person come in that was just angry and bitter and took
  • 00:15:23.245 --> 00:15:25.080
  • Just angry and bitter and took one of these plants and just
  • 00:15:25.147 --> 00:15:26.415
  • One of these plants and just shredded it and went to pieces.
  • 00:15:26.482 --> 00:15:29.418
  • Shredded it and went to pieces. and did you know they had these
  • 00:15:29.485 --> 00:15:30.686
  • And did you know they had these electrodes on these plants. and
  • 00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:32.588
  • Electrodes on these plants. and every time that this person came
  • 00:15:32.654 --> 00:15:35.124
  • Every time that this person came in that was speaking nice
  • 00:15:35.190 --> 00:15:36.325
  • In that was speaking nice things, there was no response,
  • 00:15:36.392 --> 00:15:38.327
  • Things, there was no response, but every time that this person
  • 00:15:38.394 --> 00:15:39.962
  • But every time that this person who had just torn one of these
  • 00:15:40.029 --> 00:15:41.263
  • Who had just torn one of these plants to pieces and had cursed
  • 00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:43.132
  • Plants to pieces and had cursed and had yelled and stuff, there
  • 00:15:43.198 --> 00:15:45.200
  • And had yelled and stuff, there was a physical reaction. there
  • 00:15:45.267 --> 00:15:46.735
  • Was a physical reaction. there was some kind of a... a
  • 00:15:46.802 --> 00:15:48.137
  • Was some kind of a... a noticeable reaction on these
  • 00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:50.272
  • Noticeable reaction on these probes that they had on these
  • 00:15:50.339 --> 00:15:52.174
  • Probes that they had on these plants. i know that jamie and
  • 00:15:52.241 --> 00:15:54.510
  • Plants. i know that jamie and i... she used to try and raise
  • 00:15:54.576 --> 00:15:57.379
  • I... she used to try and raise plants, and she just had a black
  • 00:15:57.446 --> 00:15:59.114
  • Plants, and she just had a black thumb. it wasn't working. and
  • 00:15:59.181 --> 00:16:01.450
  • Thumb. it wasn't working. and you know what we did? we started
  • 00:16:01.517 --> 00:16:02.718
  • You know what we did? we started taking the word of god and
  • 00:16:02.785 --> 00:16:04.353
  • Taking the word of god and speaking over plants, and they
  • 00:16:04.420 --> 00:16:06.755
  • Speaking over plants, and they started responding positively.
  • 00:16:06.822 --> 00:16:09.058
  • Started responding positively. you know, jeremy pearsons is a
  • 00:16:09.124 --> 00:16:10.559
  • You know, jeremy pearsons is a friend of mine, and he's kenneth
  • 00:16:10.626 --> 00:16:12.795
  • Friend of mine, and he's kenneth copeland's grandson. he pastors
  • 00:16:12.861 --> 00:16:14.663
  • Copeland's grandson. he pastors a church right here in the area
  • 00:16:14.730 --> 00:16:16.899
  • A church right here in the area where i live. and jeremy
  • 00:16:16.965 --> 00:16:18.734
  • Where i live. and jeremy pearsons was raised by george
  • 00:16:18.801 --> 00:16:21.270
  • Pearsons was raised by george and terri pearsons. terri is
  • 00:16:21.336 --> 00:16:23.338
  • And terri pearsons. terri is kenneth's daughter, and so he
  • 00:16:23.405 --> 00:16:26.809
  • Kenneth's daughter, and so he was raised, and he calls the
  • 00:16:26.875 --> 00:16:28.811
  • Was raised, and he calls the house of faith, not just a house
  • 00:16:28.877 --> 00:16:30.813
  • House of faith, not just a house of faith. but man, they were
  • 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.481
  • Of faith. but man, they were taught the word. and anyway, the
  • 00:16:32.548 --> 00:16:34.016
  • Taught the word. and anyway, the point i'm getting at is, jeremy
  • 00:16:34.083 --> 00:16:36.351
  • Point i'm getting at is, jeremy was in a christian school, and
  • 00:16:36.418 --> 00:16:38.053
  • Was in a christian school, and for one of his projects, he took
  • 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.355
  • For one of his projects, he took two plants, put them in
  • 00:16:40.422 --> 00:16:42.324
  • Two plants, put them in identical plots... pots, planted
  • 00:16:42.391 --> 00:16:45.060
  • Identical plots... pots, planted them, put them in an identical
  • 00:16:45.127 --> 00:16:46.728
  • Them, put them in an identical spot, same heat, same light,
  • 00:16:46.795 --> 00:16:49.498
  • Spot, same heat, same light, same nutrients, watered them
  • 00:16:49.565 --> 00:16:51.233
  • Same nutrients, watered them exactly the same. but one of
  • 00:16:51.300 --> 00:16:53.469
  • Exactly the same. but one of those plants, jeremy just cursed
  • 00:16:53.535 --> 00:16:55.938
  • Those plants, jeremy just cursed and said, you are... you'll
  • 00:16:56.004 --> 00:16:57.339
  • And said, you are... you'll never amount to anything. you'll
  • 00:16:57.406 --> 00:16:59.141
  • Never amount to anything. you'll never work. and he just spoke
  • 00:16:59.208 --> 00:17:00.642
  • Never work. and he just spoke negative things over it. the
  • 00:17:00.709 --> 00:17:02.177
  • Negative things over it. the other plant, he spoke positive
  • 00:17:02.244 --> 00:17:04.480
  • Other plant, he spoke positive things over. and did you know
  • 00:17:04.546 --> 00:17:06.148
  • Things over. and did you know that the one that he spoke all
  • 00:17:06.215 --> 00:17:07.483
  • That the one that he spoke all these negative things, it died,
  • 00:17:07.549 --> 00:17:09.051
  • These negative things, it died, and it didn't work. the one that
  • 00:17:09.118 --> 00:17:10.486
  • And it didn't work. the one that he spoke positive things over,
  • 00:17:10.552 --> 00:17:12.287
  • He spoke positive things over, it lived. and i know there's
  • 00:17:12.354 --> 00:17:15.224
  • It lived. and i know there's people watching this that think,
  • 00:17:15.290 --> 00:17:16.525
  • People watching this that think, boy, you are weird. well i think
  • 00:17:16.592 --> 00:17:19.228
  • Boy, you are weird. well i think you're weird because jesus did
  • 00:17:19.294 --> 00:17:20.896
  • You're weird because jesus did this exact same thing. he just
  • 00:17:20.963 --> 00:17:22.564
  • This exact same thing. he just spoke to a plant, to a fig tree,
  • 00:17:22.631 --> 00:17:25.634
  • Spoke to a plant, to a fig tree, and said, ...no man's ever going
  • 00:17:25.701 --> 00:17:27.503
  • And said, ...no man's ever going to eat fruit of you again...,
  • 00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:28.770
  • To eat fruit of you again..., and instantly the roots died.
  • 00:17:28.837 --> 00:17:31.240
  • And instantly the roots died. within 24 hours, it was
  • 00:17:31.306 --> 00:17:33.041
  • Within 24 hours, it was manifest. and it impressed his
  • 00:17:33.108 --> 00:17:35.043
  • Manifest. and it impressed his disciples so much they brought
  • 00:17:35.110 --> 00:17:36.545
  • Disciples so much they brought it to his attention, and he's
  • 00:17:36.612 --> 00:17:37.746
  • It to his attention, and he's telling them how he did it. he
  • 00:17:37.813 --> 00:17:39.781
  • Telling them how he did it. he said, ...whoever will say...,
  • 00:17:39.848 --> 00:17:42.151
  • Said, ...whoever will say..., and words are important. and i
  • 00:17:42.217 --> 00:17:45.654
  • And words are important. and i know that most of the people
  • 00:17:45.721 --> 00:17:46.788
  • Know that most of the people watching this program, they...
  • 00:17:46.855 --> 00:17:47.923
  • Watching this program, they... you don't believe that. you say
  • 00:17:47.990 --> 00:17:49.525
  • You don't believe that. you say all kinds of things. you say
  • 00:17:49.591 --> 00:17:50.859
  • All kinds of things. you say that you'll be someplace at 7
  • 00:17:50.926 --> 00:17:52.427
  • That you'll be someplace at 7 o'clock and you don't get there
  • 00:17:52.494 --> 00:17:53.595
  • O'clock and you don't get there until 7:30. to you words don't
  • 00:17:53.662 --> 00:17:55.831
  • Until 7:30. to you words don't mean much. and if you say
  • 00:17:55.898 --> 00:17:57.966
  • Mean much. and if you say something and if it turns
  • 00:17:58.033 --> 00:17:59.368
  • Something and if it turns out not to be something
  • 00:17:59.434 --> 00:18:00.469
  • Out not to be something that you like, you just say,
  • 00:18:00.536 --> 00:18:01.870
  • That you like, you just say, well i'm sorry, i didn't mean
  • 00:18:01.937 --> 00:18:03.438
  • Well i'm sorry, i didn't mean it or whatever. but in
  • 00:18:03.505 --> 00:18:04.840
  • Psalms, chapter 89, verse 34,
  • 00:18:04.907 --> 00:18:07.376
  • Psalms, chapter 89, verse 34, the bible says, my covenant will
  • 00:18:07.442 --> 00:18:09.211
  • The bible says, my covenant will i not break, nor alter the thing
  • 00:18:09.278 --> 00:18:11.280
  • I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone forth out of my
  • 00:18:11.346 --> 00:18:12.447
  • That is gone forth out of my lips. that was god speaking,
  • 00:18:12.514 --> 00:18:14.283
  • And god doesn't say things he
  • 00:18:14.349 --> 00:18:16.084
  • And god doesn't say things he doesn't mean. when he says it,
  • 00:18:16.151 --> 00:18:18.120
  • Doesn't mean. when he says it, it becomes a covenant. and so
  • 00:18:18.187 --> 00:18:20.856
  • It becomes a covenant. and so because that wor... if you
  • 00:18:20.923 --> 00:18:22.658
  • Because that wor... if you mix them with faith, words
  • 00:18:22.724 --> 00:18:26.662
  • Mix them with faith, words are powerful. it says in
  • 00:18:26.728 --> 00:18:28.864
  • Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 2, it
  • 00:18:28.931 --> 00:18:30.432
  • Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 2, it says, ...the word preached unto
  • 00:18:30.499 --> 00:18:31.800
  • Says, ...the word preached unto them did not profit them, not
  • 00:18:31.867 --> 00:18:33.468
  • Them did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them
  • 00:18:33.535 --> 00:18:35.504
  • Being mixed with faith in them that heard it. it says in
  • 00:18:35.571 --> 00:18:37.573
  • That heard it. it says in romans, chapter 10, verse 9,
  • 00:18:37.639 --> 00:18:39.208
  • Romans, chapter 10, verse 9, that if you will confess with
  • 00:18:39.274 --> 00:18:40.442
  • That if you will confess with your mouth the lord jesus, and
  • 00:18:40.509 --> 00:18:42.177
  • Your mouth the lord jesus, and believe in your heart that god
  • 00:18:42.244 --> 00:18:43.612
  • Believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead, you
  • 00:18:43.679 --> 00:18:45.347
  • Raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. for with the
  • 00:18:45.414 --> 00:18:46.782
  • Shall be saved. for with the mouth confession is made
  • 00:18:46.848 --> 00:18:48.884
  • Mouth confession is made unto salvation, and with
  • 00:18:48.951 --> 00:18:50.185
  • Unto salvation, and with the heart man believes
  • 00:18:50.252 --> 00:18:51.320
  • The heart man believes unto righteousness....
  • 00:18:51.386 --> 00:18:52.955
  • So you've got to speak and
  • 00:18:53.021 --> 00:18:55.023
  • So you've got to speak and believe. this is the only thing
  • 00:18:55.090 --> 00:18:56.758
  • Believe. this is the only thing that keeps us from just falling
  • 00:18:56.825 --> 00:18:58.360
  • That keeps us from just falling over dead when we say something
  • 00:18:58.427 --> 00:18:59.962
  • Over dead when we say something like, well that scared me to
  • 00:19:00.028 --> 00:19:01.129
  • Like, well that scared me to death, because you didn't really
  • 00:19:01.196 --> 00:19:03.265
  • Death, because you didn't really mean it. you weren't... you
  • 00:19:03.332 --> 00:19:04.499
  • Mean it. you weren't... you weren't saying that in faith.
  • 00:19:04.566 --> 00:19:06.568
  • Weren't saying that in faith. it was vain, but nonetheless,
  • 00:19:06.635 --> 00:19:09.071
  • It was vain, but nonetheless, it's still not a positive thing
  • 00:19:09.137 --> 00:19:10.706
  • It's still not a positive thing to say. and if you just
  • 00:19:10.772 --> 00:19:12.174
  • To say. and if you just repeat negative things
  • 00:19:12.241 --> 00:19:13.575
  • Repeat negative things over and over and over,
  • 00:19:13.642 --> 00:19:15.510
  • ...faith comes by hearing,
  • 00:19:15.577 --> 00:19:16.878
  • ...faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word
  • 00:19:16.945 --> 00:19:17.846
  • And hearing by the word of god. and if you
  • 00:19:17.913 --> 00:19:19.047
  • Keep speaking negative things
  • 00:19:19.114 --> 00:19:20.582
  • Keep speaking negative things over yourself, it will
  • 00:19:20.649 --> 00:19:21.683
  • Over yourself, it will eventually begin to start
  • 00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:23.485
  • Eventually begin to start generating faith on the inside
  • 00:19:23.552 --> 00:19:25.387
  • Generating faith on the inside of you. faith comes by hearing.
  • 00:19:25.454 --> 00:19:27.456
  • Of you. faith comes by hearing. and so you need to start
  • 00:19:27.522 --> 00:19:28.757
  • And so you need to start speaking the right things, but
  • 00:19:28.824 --> 00:19:30.692
  • Speaking the right things, but it has to be done in faith. and
  • 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.728
  • It has to be done in faith. and jesus right here is saying,
  • 00:19:32.794 --> 00:19:34.029
  • Jesus right here is saying, ...that whoever will say unto
  • 00:19:34.096 --> 00:19:36.865
  • ...that whoever will say unto this mountain.... here's another
  • 00:19:36.932 --> 00:19:38.600
  • This mountain.... here's another big point, and i'm probably
  • 00:19:38.667 --> 00:19:40.402
  • Big point, and i'm probably going to have to continue this
  • 00:19:40.469 --> 00:19:41.603
  • Going to have to continue this on the program tomorrow, but
  • 00:19:41.670 --> 00:19:44.339
  • On the program tomorrow, but some people just skip over this
  • 00:19:44.406 --> 00:19:45.841
  • Some people just skip over this and don't see it. but he said,
  • 00:19:45.907 --> 00:19:47.075
  • And don't see it. but he said, ...whosoever will say to this
  • 00:19:47.142 --> 00:19:49.211
  • ...whosoever will say to this mountain..., not to god about
  • 00:19:49.278 --> 00:19:51.980
  • Mountain..., not to god about this mountain. you know, i
  • 00:19:52.047 --> 00:19:53.548
  • This mountain. you know, i really don't believe that this
  • 00:19:53.615 --> 00:19:54.683
  • Really don't believe that this is limited to just some physical
  • 00:19:54.750 --> 00:19:56.585
  • Is limited to just some physical hill or mountain. this is just
  • 00:19:56.652 --> 00:19:58.520
  • Hill or mountain. this is just talking about whatever your
  • 00:19:58.587 --> 00:19:59.655
  • Talking about whatever your problem is. if it's sickness in
  • 00:19:59.721 --> 00:20:01.823
  • Problem is. if it's sickness in your body, if it's finances, if
  • 00:20:01.890 --> 00:20:03.759
  • Your body, if it's finances, if it's, you know, depression,
  • 00:20:03.825 --> 00:20:05.193
  • It's, you know, depression, discouragement, whatever. if you
  • 00:20:05.260 --> 00:20:07.195
  • Discouragement, whatever. if you will speak to your problem. not
  • 00:20:07.262 --> 00:20:11.066
  • Will speak to your problem. not talk to god about your problem.
  • 00:20:11.133 --> 00:20:12.801
  • Talk to god about your problem. not tell god how bad it is and
  • 00:20:12.868 --> 00:20:14.770
  • Not tell god how bad it is and ask god to fix it. but when it
  • 00:20:14.836 --> 00:20:17.039
  • Ask god to fix it. but when it says you speak to your mountain,
  • 00:20:17.105 --> 00:20:19.107
  • Says you speak to your mountain, that is implying that you
  • 00:20:19.174 --> 00:20:21.243
  • That is implying that you understand that god has done his
  • 00:20:21.310 --> 00:20:23.812
  • Understand that god has done his part and he gave you authority
  • 00:20:23.879 --> 00:20:26.515
  • Part and he gave you authority and power. and if you will take
  • 00:20:26.581 --> 00:20:28.750
  • And power. and if you will take that authority and speak
  • 00:20:28.817 --> 00:20:30.218
  • That authority and speak directly to the problem, that
  • 00:20:30.285 --> 00:20:32.821
  • Directly to the problem, that that problem will obey you. now
  • 00:20:32.888 --> 00:20:36.692
  • That problem will obey you. now that's huge what i just said,
  • 00:20:36.758 --> 00:20:38.960
  • That's huge what i just said, and not very many people
  • 00:20:39.027 --> 00:20:40.962
  • And not very many people understand this, and even fewer
  • 00:20:41.029 --> 00:20:42.698
  • Understand this, and even fewer people put it into practice.
  • 00:20:42.764 --> 00:20:45.467
  • People put it into practice. i've... i've made this point
  • 00:20:45.534 --> 00:20:46.768
  • I've... i've made this point many, many times, but again,
  • 00:20:46.835 --> 00:20:48.170
  • Many, many times, but again, the... most christians go to god
  • 00:20:48.236 --> 00:20:50.238
  • The... most christians go to god and say, oh god, you can do
  • 00:20:50.305 --> 00:20:52.140
  • And say, oh god, you can do anything. they don't believe he
  • 00:20:52.207 --> 00:20:54.042
  • Anything. they don't believe he has done it. they don't believe
  • 00:20:54.109 --> 00:20:55.510
  • Has done it. they don't believe anything happens until they can
  • 00:20:55.577 --> 00:20:57.145
  • Anything happens until they can see or feel the physical change.
  • 00:20:57.212 --> 00:21:00.449
  • See or feel the physical change. they don't understand that below
  • 00:21:00.515 --> 00:21:02.150
  • They don't understand that below the surface, like the roots of
  • 00:21:02.217 --> 00:21:03.752
  • The surface, like the roots of this fig tree, that immediately
  • 00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:07.155
  • This fig tree, that immediately something happened. they... they
  • 00:21:07.222 --> 00:21:08.457
  • Something happened. they... they don't believe anything happened
  • 00:21:08.523 --> 00:21:09.725
  • Don't believe anything happened until they can see it. that's
  • 00:21:09.791 --> 00:21:11.259
  • Until they can see it. that's the average christian. but they
  • 00:21:11.326 --> 00:21:13.195
  • The average christian. but they believe god can do it, but they
  • 00:21:13.261 --> 00:21:14.796
  • Believe god can do it, but they don't believe he has done
  • 00:21:14.863 --> 00:21:16.164
  • Don't believe he has done anything. they don't believe
  • 00:21:16.231 --> 00:21:17.666
  • Anything. they don't believe and they don't understand
  • 00:21:17.733 --> 00:21:18.834
  • And they don't understand what has already been provided
  • 00:21:18.900 --> 00:21:20.535
  • What has already been provided for us in the spiritual, and so
  • 00:21:20.602 --> 00:21:22.437
  • For us in the spiritual, and so they are just going to god
  • 00:21:22.504 --> 00:21:24.239
  • They are just going to god like nothing has happened,
  • 00:21:24.306 --> 00:21:25.607
  • Like nothing has happened, oh god, would you heal
  • 00:21:25.674 --> 00:21:26.908
  • Oh god, would you heal me, when the bible says,
  • 00:21:26.975 --> 00:21:28.443
  • That ...by his stripes we were
  • 00:21:28.510 --> 00:21:30.645
  • That ...by his stripes we were healed. it's already done,
  • 00:21:30.712 --> 00:21:32.748
  • Healed. it's already done, 1 peter 2:24.
  • 00:21:32.814 --> 00:21:34.349
  • Why are you asking god to do
  • 00:21:34.416 --> 00:21:35.984
  • Why are you asking god to do something if he says i've
  • 00:21:36.051 --> 00:21:37.152
  • Something if he says i've already done it? it's because
  • 00:21:37.219 --> 00:21:39.287
  • Already done it? it's because you can't see it, and until you
  • 00:21:39.354 --> 00:21:40.989
  • You can't see it, and until you see it you don't believe god's
  • 00:21:41.056 --> 00:21:42.357
  • See it you don't believe god's done anything regardless of what
  • 00:21:42.424 --> 00:21:43.825
  • Done anything regardless of what the bible said. boy, you may
  • 00:21:43.892 --> 00:21:46.061
  • The bible said. boy, you may think i'm being harsh with you.
  • 00:21:46.128 --> 00:21:47.362
  • Think i'm being harsh with you. i'm just trying to be blunt with
  • 00:21:47.429 --> 00:21:48.830
  • I'm just trying to be blunt with you and explain why if you
  • 00:21:48.897 --> 00:21:51.233
  • You and explain why if you believe that god can heal and
  • 00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:53.769
  • Believe that god can heal and you've prayed and asked for it
  • 00:21:53.835 --> 00:21:55.470
  • You've prayed and asked for it and done your best to believe,
  • 00:21:55.537 --> 00:21:57.072
  • And done your best to believe, but you aren't seeing it happen,
  • 00:21:57.139 --> 00:21:58.273
  • But you aren't seeing it happen, i'm trying to explain to you why
  • 00:21:58.340 --> 00:21:59.641
  • I'm trying to explain to you why it's not happening. it's because
  • 00:21:59.708 --> 00:22:01.309
  • It's not happening. it's because you're talking to god about your
  • 00:22:01.376 --> 00:22:03.512
  • You're talking to god about your problem instead of talking to
  • 00:22:03.578 --> 00:22:05.447
  • Problem instead of talking to your problem about god. when you
  • 00:22:05.514 --> 00:22:08.283
  • Your problem about god. when you go to talking directly to
  • 00:22:08.350 --> 00:22:09.885
  • Go to talking directly to sickness, to poverty, to
  • 00:22:09.951 --> 00:22:11.486
  • Sickness, to poverty, to depression, to anger, to
  • 00:22:11.553 --> 00:22:13.588
  • Depression, to anger, to bitterness, to whatever it is
  • 00:22:13.655 --> 00:22:15.490
  • Bitterness, to whatever it is that's attacking you, and you go
  • 00:22:15.557 --> 00:22:17.526
  • That's attacking you, and you go to speaking to it in the name of
  • 00:22:17.592 --> 00:22:19.661
  • To speaking to it in the name of the lord, that shows that you
  • 00:22:19.728 --> 00:22:21.963
  • The lord, that shows that you understand. god's done his part.
  • 00:22:22.030 --> 00:22:24.266
  • Understand. god's done his part. he's won. now he gave you
  • 00:22:24.332 --> 00:22:26.301
  • He's won. now he gave you authority, and you are
  • 00:22:26.368 --> 00:22:28.170
  • Authority, and you are exercising that authority. and
  • 00:22:28.236 --> 00:22:31.106
  • Exercising that authority. and this is where so many people
  • 00:22:31.173 --> 00:22:32.908
  • This is where so many people miss it. they aren't
  • 00:22:32.974 --> 00:22:34.876
  • Miss it. they aren't understanding the believer's
  • 00:22:34.943 --> 00:22:36.511
  • Understanding the believer's authority. they don't know
  • 00:22:36.578 --> 00:22:37.813
  • Authority. they don't know what god has given us. so there
  • 00:22:37.879 --> 00:22:40.348
  • What god has given us. so there is so much more in this verse
  • 00:22:40.415 --> 00:22:43.151
