THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS
“You Can Have What You Say”
INTRODUCTION: We’ve been in this series on the POWER OF YOUR WORDS. These scriptures say it all regarding the power in our words.
Proverbs 18:20,21(NIV)- “From the fruit of his mouth a man’s stomach is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
How do we work with God to bridle our tongue? Pause, Ponder and Pray!
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU SAY! Many times when we talk about the power of our words we have to admit we focus on what we shouldn’t be saying. (The negative)
But if our words are truly powerful, and they are, shouldn’t we put as much or even more focus on what we SHOULD be saying!!!!
DON’T JUST STOP SAYING THE WRONG THING BUT START SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS.
TRANSITION: Today we’re going to look at a passage of scripture in the Gospel of Mark that we see a side of Jesus that may be unfamiliar to some of us.
Mark 11:12-25(NIV)- Turn and Read
Jesus tells us that when our words are words of faith in God we can “HAVE WHAT WE SAY.”
Jesus takes what appears to be a negative circumstance and gives a positive principle about the POWER OF OUR WORDS.
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU SAY!
Romans 10:8(NIV)- “…The Word is near to you, it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is the Word of faith we are proclaiming.”
TRANSITION: Today I want to give you a Word to proclaim. That can be in your heart and in your mouth that you can proclaim.
WORDS TO PROGRAM YOUR SPIRIT FOR FINACIAL SUCCESS

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU SAY!
As you make these daily confessions, you may feel as if they are not true, but faith comes by hearing the Word of God, hearing yourself saying what God said about you.
The Word of God, conceived in the human spirit, formed by the tongue, and spoken out of the mouth, is creative power that will work for you!
Hebrews 10:23- “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”
