  • They asked the burglar, "what was it about
  • 00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:54.744

  • Our words have creative power.
  • 00:01:33.516 --> 00:01:35.285
  • Creative power. when we speak something out,
  • 00:01:35.351 --> 00:01:37.353
  • When we speak something out, we're giving it the right
  • 00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:38.721
  • We're giving it the right to come to pass.
  • 00:01:38.788 --> 00:01:40.323
  • To come to pass. it's one thing to believe
  • 00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:41.791
  • It's one thing to believe that you're healed, but when
  • 00:01:41.858 --> 00:01:43.693
  • That you're healed, but when you say, "i am healed,"
  • 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.828
  • You say, "i am healed," that's what releases
  • 00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:46.996
  • That's what releases the healing.
  • 00:01:47.063 --> 00:01:47.797
  • The healing. and it's not enough to just
  • 00:01:47.864 --> 00:01:49.232
  • And it's not enough to just believe you're blessed,
  • 00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:50.800
  • Believe you're blessed, believe you have favor.
  • 00:01:50.867 --> 00:01:52.602
  • Believe you have favor. the scripture says,
  • 00:01:52.669 --> 00:01:53.670
  • The scripture says, "the spirit of faith is
  • 00:01:53.736 --> 00:01:55.505

  • 00:01:55.572 --> 00:01:57.173
  • In our words." when you say, "i am blessed.
  • 00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:59.776
  • When you say, "i am blessed. i have favor.
  • 00:01:59.842 --> 00:02:01.110
  • I have favor. i'm coming out of debt,"

  • Good breaks will find you. the right people will track
  • 00:02:06.249 --> 00:02:07.650
  • The right people will track you down.
  • 00:02:07.717 --> 00:02:08.885
  • You down. and you can think positive,
  • 00:02:08.952 --> 00:02:10.853
  • And you can think positive, you can believe for favor,
  • 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:12.255
  • You can believe for favor, that's good, but nothing
  • 00:02:12.322 --> 00:02:14.157
  • That's good, but nothing happens till you speak.
  • 00:02:14.224 --> 00:02:16.559
  • Happens till you speak. the miracle is in your mouth.
  • 00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:19.195
  • The miracle is in your mouth. there is healing
  • 00:02:19.262 --> 00:02:20.196
  • There is healing in your mouth.
  • 00:02:20.263 --> 00:02:21.364
  • In your mouth. there is freedom
  • 00:02:21.431 --> 00:02:22.232

  • 00:02:22.298 --> 00:02:23.199
  • In your mouth. there are new levels
  • 00:02:23.266 --> 00:02:24.033
  • There are new levels in your mouth.
  • 00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:26.002
  • If you're fighting an
  • 00:02:26.202 --> 00:02:26.970
  • If you're fighting an illness, it's easy to talk
  • 00:02:27.036 --> 00:02:28.738
  • Illness, it's easy to talk about the medical report
  • 00:02:28.805 --> 00:02:30.106
  • About the medical report and how bad it looks,
  • 00:02:30.173 --> 00:02:32.041
  • And how bad it looks, "i don't think i'll ever
  • 00:02:32.108 --> 00:02:32.976
  • "i don't think i'll ever get well."
  • 00:02:33.042 --> 00:02:34.143
  • Get well." when you speak that, you're
  • 00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:36.012
  • When you speak that, you're calling in more sickness,
  • 00:02:36.079 --> 00:02:37.814
  • Calling in more sickness, more defeat.
  • 00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:39.182
  • More defeat. you need to change
  • 00:02:39.249 --> 00:02:40.250
  • You need to change what you're saying.
  • 00:02:40.316 --> 00:02:41.884
  • What you're saying. the scripture says,
  • 00:02:41.951 --> 00:02:43.086
  • The scripture says, "let the weak say,
  • 00:02:43.152 --> 00:02:44.454
  • "let the weak say, 'i am strong.'"
  • 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.256
  • 'i am strong.'" it doesn't say,
  • 00:02:46.322 --> 00:02:47.090
  • It doesn't say, "let the weak
  • 00:02:47.156 --> 00:02:47.790
  • "let the weak talk about the weakness.
  • 00:02:47.857 --> 00:02:49.726
  • Let the weak call five
  • 00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:50.827
  • Let the weak call five friends and discuss
  • 00:02:50.893 --> 00:02:51.961
  • Friends and discuss the problem."
  • 00:02:52.028 --> 00:02:53.196
  • The problem." that's giving life
  • 00:02:53.263 --> 00:02:54.464
  • That's giving life to the negative.
  • 00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:55.865
  • To the negative. now, i'm not asking you
  • 00:02:55.932 --> 00:02:57.000
  • Now, i'm not asking you to deny the facts, just say
  • 00:02:57.066 --> 00:02:58.968
  • To deny the facts, just say what god says about you.
  • 00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:01.104
  • What god says about you. your report should be,
  • 00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:02.238
  • Your report should be, "god is restoring health
  • 00:03:02.305 --> 00:03:03.806
  • "god is restoring health back unto me.
  • 00:03:03.873 --> 00:03:04.974
  • Back unto me. the number of my days
  • 00:03:05.041 --> 00:03:06.342
  • The number of my days he will fulfill."
  • 00:03:06.409 --> 00:03:08.378
  • He will fulfill." my mother wouldn't be here
  • 00:03:08.444 --> 00:03:09.812
  • My mother wouldn't be here today after being diagnosed
  • 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.181
  • Today after being diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1981
  • 00:03:12.248 --> 00:03:15.118
  • With terminal cancer in 1981 if she had not done this.
  • 00:03:15.184 --> 00:03:17.086
  • If she had not done this. it's not enough to just not
  • 00:03:17.153 --> 00:03:18.921
  • It's not enough to just not say anything negative, you
  • 00:03:18.988 --> 00:03:20.723
  • Say anything negative, you have to be on the offensive.
  • 00:03:20.790 --> 00:03:22.792
  • Have to be on the offensive. all through the day, i would
  • 00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:24.160
  • All through the day, i would hear her quoting scriptures.
  • 00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:26.562
  • When somebody asked how
  • 00:03:26.763 --> 00:03:27.797
  • When somebody asked how she was doing, it was never
  • 00:03:27.864 --> 00:03:29.399
  • She was doing, it was never a sad song, "it's hard.
  • 00:03:29.465 --> 00:03:32.168
  • A sad song, "it's hard. i don't understand it.
  • 00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:33.469
  • I don't understand it. i'm tired."
  • 00:03:33.536 --> 00:03:34.370
  • I'm tired." her report was, "i am healed,
  • 00:03:34.437 --> 00:03:37.106
  • Her report was, "i am healed, with long life god
  • 00:03:37.173 --> 00:03:38.374
  • With long life god will satisfy me.
  • 00:03:38.441 --> 00:03:39.809
  • Will satisfy me. what he started in my life
  • 00:03:39.876 --> 00:03:41.377
  • What he started in my life he's going to finish."
  • 00:03:41.444 --> 00:03:42.812
  • He's going to finish." she didn't feel healed,
  • 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.747
  • She didn't feel healed, she felt weak, but she said,
  • 00:03:44.814 --> 00:03:47.016
  • "i am strong."
  • 00:03:47.216 --> 00:03:48.685
  • "i am strong." the medical report said she
  • 00:03:48.751 --> 00:03:50.086
  • The medical report said she was done, but she said,
  • 00:03:50.153 --> 00:03:51.954
  • Was done, but she said, "i will live and not die."
  • 00:03:52.021 --> 00:03:53.923
  • "i will live and not die." she got in agreement with god
  • 00:03:53.990 --> 00:03:56.326
  • She got in agreement with god and released the miracle
  • 00:03:56.392 --> 00:03:57.994

  • 00:07:51.727 --> 00:07:53.629
  • But i understood this
  • 00:07:53.863 --> 00:07:55.097
  • But i understood this principle, we give life
  • 00:07:55.164 --> 00:07:57.366
  • Principle, we give life to what we speak.
  • 00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:59.035

  • Talking about how big the problem is,
  • 00:08:04.173 --> 00:08:05.341
  • The problem is, you are giving life

  • Look how old we are." the angle said, "yes,
  • 00:08:27.597 --> 00:08:28.698
  • The angle said, "yes, zechariah, it will happen.
  • 00:08:28.764 --> 00:08:31.367

  • "i don't see how. we're too old,"
  • 00:08:47.383 --> 00:08:48.751
