To hear the word of god and for all of you that are watching by television, for taking the time

00:00:46.903 --> 00:00:48.138
Television, for taking the time and many of you on a daily basis, to receive the word
00:00:48.204 --> 00:00:50.473
And many of you on a daily basis, to receive the word because the word of god
00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:51.908
Has power in it.
00:00:51.975 --> 00:00:55.245
Has power in it. the words that we're speaking
00:00:55.311 --> 00:00:57.013
Has power in it. the words that we're speaking when we speak god's word,
00:00:57.080 --> 00:00:58.648
The words that we're speaking when we speak god's word, they're not just ordinary words
00:00:58.715 --> 00:01:00.283
When we speak god's word, they're not just ordinary words but god's word has power
00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:02.785
They're not just ordinary words but god's word has power inherent in it, that means it
00:01:02.852 --> 00:01:04.654
But god's word has power inherent in it, that means it comes with little power bullets
00:01:04.721 --> 00:01:07.090
Inherent in it, that means it comes with little power bullets that have the ability to change
00:01:07.157 --> 00:01:08.391
Comes with little power bullets that have the ability to change our lives.
00:01:08.458 --> 00:01:09.192
And so, we're gonna start first
00:01:09.893 --> 00:01:10.760
And so, we're gonna start first by talking about the creative
00:01:10.827 --> 00:01:12.595
And so, we're gonna start first by talking about the creative power of the word of god.
00:01:12.662 --> 00:01:15.431
By talking about the creative power of the word of god. genesis 1:3, "and god said--"
00:01:15.498 --> 00:01:18.768
Power of the word of god. genesis 1:3, "and god said--" isn't it amazing that the bible
00:01:18.835 --> 00:01:19.969
Genesis 1:3, "and god said--" isn't it amazing that the bible starts out with god saying
00:01:20.036 --> 00:01:21.237
Isn't it amazing that the bible starts out with god saying something?
00:01:21.304 --> 00:01:22.805
Starts out with god saying something? and the good thing is what
00:01:22.872 --> 00:01:24.140
Something? and the good thing is what he said came to pass.
00:01:24.207 --> 00:01:26.176
And the good thing is what he said came to pass. "and god said, 'let there be
00:01:26.242 --> 00:01:27.210
He said came to pass. "and god said, 'let there be light;' and there was light."
00:01:27.277 --> 00:01:31.281
"and god said, 'let there be light;' and there was light." words contain power just like
00:01:31.347 --> 00:01:32.815
Light;' and there was light." words contain power just like this glass has water in it,
00:01:32.882 --> 00:01:35.185
Words contain power just like this glass has water in it, words have something in it
00:01:35.251 --> 00:01:37.787
This glass has water in it, words have something in it and if the words are god's word,
00:01:37.854 --> 00:01:39.522
Words have something in it and if the words are god's word, they're full of creative power.
00:01:39.589 --> 00:01:41.057
And if the words are god's word, they're full of creative power. if they're nonsense words,
00:01:41.124 --> 00:01:42.358
They're full of creative power. if they're nonsense words, or useless words, or vain words,
00:01:42.425 --> 00:01:44.160
If they're nonsense words, or useless words, or vain words, or evil words, then they're
00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:45.628
Or useless words, or vain words, or evil words, then they're also full of power but they're
00:01:45.695 --> 00:01:46.863
Or evil words, then they're also full of power but they're full of destructive power.
00:01:46.930 --> 00:01:49.699
Also full of power but they're full of destructive power. we all know that if people say
00:01:49.766 --> 00:01:51.100
Full of destructive power. we all know that if people say right words to us, it can just
00:01:51.167 --> 00:01:52.435
We all know that if people say right words to us, it can just do wonderful things on
00:01:52.502 --> 00:01:53.703
Right words to us, it can just do wonderful things on the inside of us and if they say
00:01:53.770 --> 00:01:55.672
Do wonderful things on the inside of us and if they say wrong words to us, it can be
00:01:55.738 --> 00:01:56.673
The inside of us and if they say wrong words to us, it can be crushing and sometimes start
00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:58.975
Wrong words to us, it can be crushing and sometimes start a whole lifetime full
00:01:59.042 --> 00:02:00.276
Crushing and sometimes start a whole lifetime full of devastation.
00:02:00.343 --> 00:02:01.511
A whole lifetime full of devastation. so, words have power and god has
00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:04.514
Of devastation. so, words have power and god has given us his word, and he wants
00:02:04.581 --> 00:02:06.783
So, words have power and god has given us his word, and he wants us to believe the word,
00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:08.618
Given us his word, and he wants us to believe the word, to meditate on the word,
00:02:08.685 --> 00:02:10.453
Us to believe the word, to meditate on the word, and to speak the word of god.
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.423
To meditate on the word, and to speak the word of god. there's nothing that can be any
00:02:13.489 --> 00:02:14.624
And to speak the word of god. there's nothing that can be any more important to us in our walk
00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:15.959
There's nothing that can be any more important to us in our walk with god than learning how to
00:02:16.025 --> 00:02:18.027
More important to us in our walk with god than learning how to speak the word of god out loud
00:02:18.094 --> 00:02:20.463
With god than learning how to speak the word of god out loud out of our own mouth because
00:02:20.530 --> 00:02:22.131
Speak the word of god out loud out of our own mouth because angels, now listen to this,
00:02:22.198 --> 00:02:23.800
Out of our own mouth because angels, now listen to this, angels harken
00:02:23.866 --> 00:02:25.134
To the word of god.

To the word of god. they don't listen to my complaining, they don't listen

They don't listen to my complaining, they don't listen to your complaining, they're
00:02:28.738 --> 00:02:30.073
Complaining, they don't listen to your complaining, they're not moved by our grumbling, but
00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:31.975
To your complaining, they're not moved by our grumbling, but they are moved to action on our

Not moved by our grumbling, but they are moved to action on our behalf when they hear the word
00:02:34.577 --> 00:02:37.313
They are moved to action on our behalf when they hear the word of god.

Amen? we can call those things that be not as though they are.
00:03:01.037 --> 00:03:02.305
We can call those things that be not as though they are. we don't have to call things
00:03:02.372 --> 00:03:03.539
That be not as though they are. we don't have to call things that are as if they're always
00:03:03.606 --> 00:03:04.707
We don't have to call things that are as if they're always gonna stay that way.

That are as if they're always gonna stay that way. yes, i'm gonna say that again.
00:03:07.644 --> 00:03:09.812

I said, we can call things that be not as if they are.
00:03:11.714 --> 00:03:15.518
I said, we can call things that be not as if they are. god does that.
00:03:15.585 --> 00:03:16.653
That be not as if they are. god does that. he speaks of nonexistent things
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.621
God does that. he speaks of nonexistent things as if they already existed.
00:03:18.688 --> 00:03:20.623
He speaks of nonexistent things as if they already existed. it's in romans 4, but what
00:03:20.690 --> 00:03:22.292
As if they already existed. it's in romans 4, but what we do many times is we'll have
00:03:22.358 --> 00:03:23.793
A situation and we talk about it
00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:25.228
A situation and we talk about it like it's never gonna change.
00:03:25.295 --> 00:03:27.764
A situation and we talk about it like it's never gonna change. and we need to say,
00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:29.165
Like it's never gonna change. and we need to say, "you have to change.
00:03:29.232 --> 00:03:31.367
And we need to say, "you have to change. you wicked circumstance,
00:03:31.434 --> 00:03:32.669
"you have to change. you wicked circumstance, you have to change because
00:03:32.735 --> 00:03:34.103
You wicked circumstance, you have to change because god's plan, and god's power,
00:03:34.170 --> 00:03:35.738
You have to change because god's plan, and god's power, and god's promises are greater
00:03:35.805 --> 00:03:37.640
God's plan, and god's power, and god's promises are greater than my circumstance."
00:03:37.707 --> 00:03:39.208
And god's promises are greater than my circumstance." >> [audience applauding]
00:03:39.275 --> 00:03:41.411
>> joyce: and i know isaiah's in

>> joyce: and i know isaiah's in here but it's hard sometimes to talk, and preach, and find stuff
00:03:44.113 --> 00:03:45.581
Here but it's hard sometimes to talk, and preach, and find stuff all at the same time.
00:03:45.648 --> 00:03:47.617
Talk, and preach, and find stuff all at the same time. "for as the rain and snow come
00:03:47.684 --> 00:03:48.651
All at the same time. "for as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and return not
00:03:48.718 --> 00:03:51.487
"for as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and return not there again, but water the earth
00:03:51.554 --> 00:03:52.855
Down from heaven, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and
00:03:52.922 --> 00:03:54.824
There again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it might give seed
00:03:54.891 --> 00:03:57.760
And make it bring forth and sprout, that it might give seed to the sower and bread to
00:03:57.827 --> 00:03:58.795
Sprout, that it might give seed to the sower and bread to the eater--"
00:03:58.861 --> 00:03:59.429
To the sower and bread to the eater--" now, let's think.
00:03:59.495 --> 00:04:00.196
The eater--" now, let's think. let's don't just read,
00:04:00.263 --> 00:04:01.030
Now, let's think. let's don't just read, let's think.
00:04:01.097 --> 00:04:01.864
Let's don't just read, let's think. rain comes down from heaven
00:04:01.931 --> 00:04:06.069
Let's think. rain comes down from heaven and it doesn't go back up.
00:04:06.135 --> 00:04:08.237
Rain comes down from heaven and it doesn't go back up. it comes down
00:04:08.304 --> 00:04:09.105
And it doesn't go back up. it comes down and it does something.
00:04:09.172 --> 00:04:10.973
It comes down and it does something. it waters the seed that's in
00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:13.476
And it does something. it waters the seed that's in the ground and we get a harvest.
00:04:13.543 --> 00:04:17.180
It waters the seed that's in the ground and we get a harvest. so, we got a word picture
00:04:17.246 --> 00:04:18.081
The ground and we get a harvest. so, we got a word picture first here.
00:04:18.147 --> 00:04:18.981
So, we got a word picture first here. "so shall my word be,"
00:04:19.048 --> 00:04:22.385
First here. "so shall my word be," this is god speaking to us
00:04:22.452 --> 00:04:23.353
"so shall my word be," this is god speaking to us through the prophet.
00:04:23.419 --> 00:04:24.187
This is god speaking to us through the prophet. "so shall my word be that goes
00:04:24.253 --> 00:04:26.089
Through the prophet. "so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth:
00:04:26.155 --> 00:04:28.157
"so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void
00:04:28.224 --> 00:04:30.727
Forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void [without producing any effect,
00:04:30.793 --> 00:04:32.562
It shall not return to me void [without producing any effect, or useless], but it shall
00:04:32.628 --> 00:04:34.430
[without producing any effect, or useless], but it shall accomplish that which i please
00:04:34.497 --> 00:04:36.366
Or useless], but it shall accomplish that which i please and purpose, and it shall
00:04:36.432 --> 00:04:38.034
Accomplish that which i please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which
00:04:38.101 --> 00:04:39.769
And purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which i sent it."
00:04:39.836 --> 00:04:41.704
Prosper in the thing for which i sent it." so, god is saying,
00:04:41.771 --> 00:04:42.839
"when my word is spoken,
00:04:42.905 --> 00:04:46.175
"when my word is spoken, something is gonna happen."
00:04:46.242 --> 00:04:47.944
"when my word is spoken, something is gonna happen." >> [audience applauding]
00:04:48.010 --> 00:04:50.079
Something is gonna happen." >> [audience applauding] >> joyce: "something is gonna

Now, as believers,
00:17:19.228 --> 00:17:20.362
Now, as believers, we're already born again.
00:17:20.429 --> 00:17:21.964
Now, as believers, we're already born again. our spirit is already
00:17:22.030 --> 00:17:23.932
We're already born again. our spirit is already in good condition.
00:17:23.999 --> 00:17:25.834
Our spirit is already in good condition. god lives in there.
00:17:25.901 --> 00:17:26.735
In good condition. god lives in there. holiness is in there.
00:17:26.802 --> 00:17:28.003
God lives in there. holiness is in there. sanctification's in there.
00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:29.338
Holiness is in there. sanctification's in there. there's all kinds of good
00:17:29.404 --> 00:17:30.305
Sanctification's in there. there's all kinds of good things in there,
00:17:30.372 --> 00:17:31.006
There's all kinds of good things in there, but our soul is still a mess.
00:17:31.073 --> 00:17:34.042
Things in there, but our soul is still a mess. i'm talking about when we're
00:17:34.109 --> 00:17:34.977
But our soul is still a mess. i'm talking about when we're initially born again.
00:17:35.043 --> 00:17:37.179
I'm talking about when we're initially born again. so, i can be just as saved
00:17:37.246 --> 00:17:39.548
Initially born again. so, i can be just as saved as i can be and still
00:17:39.615 --> 00:17:40.549
So, i can be just as saved as i can be and still have bad attitudes,
00:17:40.616 --> 00:17:41.650
As i can be and still have bad attitudes, and bitterness,
00:17:41.717 --> 00:17:42.284
Have bad attitudes, and bitterness, and resentment,
00:17:42.351 --> 00:17:42.918
And bitterness, and resentment, and unforgiveness.
00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:43.585
And resentment, and unforgiveness. your soul is your mind,
00:17:43.652 --> 00:17:44.553
And unforgiveness. your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions.
00:17:44.620 --> 00:17:45.988
Your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions. and it needs to be saved
00:17:46.054 --> 00:17:47.990
Your will, and your emotions. and it needs to be saved and that happens through
00:17:48.056 --> 00:17:48.991
And it needs to be saved and that happens through a process called sanctification.
00:17:49.057 --> 00:17:51.560
And that happens through a process called sanctification. we are made holy in god,
00:17:51.627 --> 00:17:53.795
A process called sanctification. we are made holy in god, through christ,
00:17:53.862 --> 00:17:54.730
We are made holy in god, through christ, but the holy spirit
00:17:54.796 --> 00:17:55.898
Through christ, but the holy spirit then comes to gradually,
00:17:55.964 --> 00:17:57.766
But the holy spirit then comes to gradually, little by little,
00:17:57.833 --> 00:17:58.700
Then comes to gradually, little by little, by using the word of god,
00:17:58.767 --> 00:18:00.836
Little by little, by using the word of god, work that out in our lives
00:18:00.903 --> 00:18:02.905
By using the word of god, work that out in our lives and as our mind is renewed
00:18:02.971 --> 00:18:04.973
Work that out in our lives and as our mind is renewed and our attitude improves,
00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:06.708
And as our mind is renewed and our attitude improves, we change.
00:18:06.775 --> 00:18:07.342
And that does not happen
00:18:08.010 --> 00:18:09.244
And that does not happen without megadoses of god's word.
00:18:09.311 --> 00:18:11.613
