Andrew shares that God gave us authority in the world, Adam then gave it to Satan, but Jesus recovered it, and we are now joint heirs with Him.

- Lives changed. i've seen
- 00:00:16.706 --> 00:00:18.341

- >> welcome to our wednesday's
- 00:00:26.616 --> 00:00:27.650
- 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

- 00:22:13.655 --> 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
