Whether we realize it or NOT, we live by THE WORDS of our mouth!!!
Do the words of your mouth lift you up or do they bring you down????
We need to listen to the words that we speak!!! We need to watch what we say!!!
What comes out of your mouth all the time??? What are you saying every single day???
According to THE WORD, we are supposed to say what we want, NOT what we see!!! GOD wants us to stand in FAITH, believing that HE will make a way for us in every situation!!!
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
12 Therefore Sarah laughed
within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord
being old also?
13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Is any thing too hard for
the Lord?
At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life,
and Sarah shall have a son.
22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
21 And
the Lord
visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord
did for Sarah as He had spoken.
Whether we realize it or NOT, we live by THE WORDS of our mouth!!!
Do the words of your mouth lift you up or do they bring you down????
We need to listen to the words that we speak!!! We need to watch what we say!!!
What comes out of your mouth all the time??? What are you saying every single day???
According to THE WORD, we are supposed to say what we want, NOT what we see!!! GOD wants us to stand in FAITH, believing that HE will make a way for us in every situation!!!
GOD made a covenant with Abraham. HE
promised Abraham that HE would make him the father of many nations!!! GOD showed Abraham the stars in the sky and
told him that his descendants would be as many as those same stars.
Genesis 15:1 (KJV)
After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a
vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great
reward.
Genesis 15:2-6 (ESV)
2 But
Abram said, “O Lord God,
what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is
Eliezer of Damascus?”
3 And Abram said, “Behold, You have
given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.”
4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very
own son shall be your heir.”
5 And He brought him outside and said,
“Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.”
Then He said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
6 And he believed the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness.
THE WORD says that GOD counted Abraham’s
faith as righteouness!!! GOD tells us of Abraham faith at least 3 times in the
Bible!!! And when GOD speaks of
something more than once that means that it is very important!!!
We must have FAITH!!! We must believe GOD’S WORD and trust GOD to
fulfill the promises that HE has made!!!
If GOD tells us that HE is going to do a thing, then we must stand firm
in our FAITH knowing that HE WILL DO WHAT HE HAS TOLD US!!!
Romans 4:13-21 (KJV)
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what He had
promised, He was able also to perform.
We
have to know and believe that nothing is too difficult for GOD!!!
Jeremiah 32:27 (KJV)
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is
there any thing too hard for me?
GOD
assured Abraham and Sarah that even though they both were very old, HE could
accomplish what HE promised them and Sarah would indeed have a son!!!
Genesis 18:12-14 (KJV)
12 Therefore Sarah laughed
within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord
being old also?13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Is any thing too hard for
the Lord?
At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life,
and Sarah shall have a son.
We have to know that GOD is no respecter of persons and that if HE will fulfill
such a promise to Abraham and Sarah, HE can and will do anything that HE
promises us!!!
We just have to do as they did and stand firm in our FAITH!!!
We
have to walk in FAITH, and talk in FAITH!!!
We have to know and believe that the things we say will come to pass!!!
Mark 11:22-24 (ESV)
22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
