We are walking in today: Watch What You Say.
Ezekiel 12:21-28 21) And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 22) Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? 23) Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. 24) For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25) For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. 26) Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying. 27) Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. 28) Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD. God said,"let them know--the time is now. No matter how long its been. The vision is now." Anybody been waiting for a long time? For your marriage, job, children, etc. Watch what you say, the time is now!!! God heard you say, "how much longer?" Hebrews 6:10-12 10) For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11) And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12) That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. How long?!! Until the end!!! See some of you think you are stuck between nowhere and anywhere. Maybe your story is still not told. God said, "I'm not going to overlook you!!!" God said, "don't give up now, because your season has been long." God said, "don't lose hope in Me!!! I'm looking for those who are going to hold on!!! How much longer?!!! Until the end!!!" Don't abort your purpose. Some of us feel God is not moving fast enough. Do you know God has a plan to blow your mind? If you would hold on to your righteous course. The devil wants to sow seeds of doubt. As mature children we must hold on to our confidence until the end. Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Don't let no one take your destiny away from you, because they think it's been too long. What did God tell you? Hold on until the end!!! God has given us confidence to hold on and our reward is waiting for us. Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. God said, "I know you are tired of always being the one in your marriage to be humble. Always being passed over for promotion. Always being passed over in ministry. Always being a giver. Always being last." God has a response in Ezekiel 12:25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. Some of us feel like God has cancelled our mission. I'm sure that Jabez felt the same way. But he prayed, "Oh if thou would bless me indeed! How ever you want to bless me. God, I'm going to leave it up to you!!" Indeed means above and over in blessings. Only speak what God said, not what you see. As Pastor Taffe taught in the three day, last week--do not speak your situation, speak in faith of the desired outcome. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. We have the fruit of what we have spoken, either life or death. There is so much in our lives that is dead and or dying because of our words. So we know that principle works. Let us speak God's word so that we can have the fruit of life in our lives. Stop pulling up flowers making room for weeds. We must speak God's word, fiveamprayer. Look at Jesus in Mark 4:37-39 37) And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38) And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39) And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Now the storm that Jesus spoke to was a great storm that the disciples were worried about because of the wind and the waves beating on the ship. They asked Him if He cared that they were perishing? They were speaking the situation. They were not holding on to the word that Jesus spoke earlier in Mark 4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. Going to the other side was already spoken--that is what was to happen. Regardless of how it appears. So no more worrying about the storms that come up, we must speak to the storm, it will not stop you from your God directed destination, unless you give up. And the Lord said in, Joshua 10:9 Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. God moves on us standing and holding on to His word, not fear. Hold to the word of God, fiveamprayer!!! Numbers 11:23(MSG) God answered Moses, "So, do you think I can't take care of you? You'll see soon enough whether what I say happens for you or not." Fear not, hold to the word, speak the word and think on the word. Pastor Taffe also taught us that God knows that we need help. God gives us which to choose. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. He tells Moses in Exodus 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. He gives us what to say. How do we get the word on the inside?! We are to meditate on it as it says in Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. We have to unlearn all the words of death we have been saying. You should be tired of all of these weeds and bitter fruit coming forth!! Renew your mind by reading the word, fiveamprayer!! We must meditate on His word to get it down into our hearts to bring forth the words of life out of mouths. As Pastor Taffe said, them that know their God--do some bad stuff!! Joshua 10:12-14 12) Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 13) And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14) And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel. Joshua was told by God that He was with him--so he made a request to conquer his enemies. Joshua asked for the sun to stay put to continue giving him light. We have light as well, from the Son. John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. His presence and word is just waiting on us to spend time and get these scriptures on the inside of us. The Bible is where you find out your true definition, who you were created to be. It is the owners manual written by the manufacturer. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Since He has numbered the hairs on our heads and put us together from the dust and gave us the breath of life what more creditable source can you find?!! Speak God's word only!! James 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Don't cancel your blessings with your words. The devil wants you to say something that will kill your vision. This is the time to hold on and not let go!!! Watch what you say!!!!
The word this morning was inspired by Pastor Anitha, we must watch what we say. In the book of Ezekiel they were murmuring, that they were in the same place and nothing had changed. The world keeps telling us that 2011 is a season of recession and depression--we know that our God can do all things, but fail. Get some confidence this morning. Watch what you say. God will preform His word. He will make the crooked places straight. His word says that we will have an abundant life. God said 2011 is our year of abundance. If God said it, it will not come back void. God is more than able. The Greater One lives on the inside of us. Don't curse your blessings and healing. Keep getting up and tell God to have His way. Don't speak against your blessings--against His word. Hold on until the end. He is making a way. We must press on--saying, "if God be for me, who can stand against me?" We must continue to stand, after doing all that we can to stand. Don't give up! Pray without ceasing--it's prayer time. Call yourself into a fast. Hold on, reconciliation in marriages, promotions, jobs and healing are on the way. Watch what you say. Meditate on His word--day and night. Fiveamprayer, let us speak this word from Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. It's not over until God says that it is over. Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in this world. He will make a way of escape for us. Watch what you say. Ecclesiastes 5:1-3
1) Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. 2) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. 3) For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. If you don't know what to say, say nothing if you are not speaking God's word. Don't just utter anything, what you say will either give life or death to your situation. Don't cast your blessings down. Who do you believe--God or yourself. What miracles, healing, deliverance, have you done!? So all trust is in He who has, can and will do all that is written in His word. Psalm 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. Hold on, fiveamprayer! Many of us have been tearing down our own house, with our words--sowing seeds of doubt, listening to friends. What did God say? Are you speaking life to the situation? We know that Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world. The Lord will bless us indeed! Because things don't turn out as expected and words of death are spoken--we have to remember that His ways are not our ways. Don't cast down what has been built up by His word. We are able to choose, and were directed to choose life. That means that we speak life also. The devil is trying to disguise our season, but we are walking by faith, not by sight. Fiveamprayer, don't get caught up in what you see, there is all kinds of false evidence appearing real that is sent to discourage us and tempt us to speak what we see. Oh, Lord, let our words be acceptable to You. We can speak His word, from Genesis to Revelations. We lift up prayer requests, have them to know that they must watch what they say. Sometimes we kill our own destiny and purpose. Please forgive us for causing our own delays--speaking against Your word. As it says in, Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. We know that, all things are possible with God. That greater is He that is in me, than he that is in this world. We are more than conquerors, more than overcomers. We can be confident, in 2 Kings 6:16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
We write in the precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Welcome to the overflow....
You better watch what you say! Don't walk around in doubt, speaking against what God has already spoken. Are you a believer in the Most High God? Make another request. Watch what you say. Some times we get tired and we ask, "how much longer?" He is the Lord, what He speaks shall come to pass. How long, until the end. Wait on the Lord. While waiting, watch what you say. He is so good to us! Every time we speak and watch what we say--you are in line with God's word. Don't let people speak the wrong things over you. Don't receive anything that is against what God has spoken. Read the scriptures for yourself today. Have a blessed day! Amen, amen.

I was empowered by watching my mouth, understanding the power of the words I send forth in the creative atmosphere God has given us dominion over to create and speak things into existence; but when He brought to the light what are you thinking? My, my, my oh Lord! Watch your mouth and don't even think about it! There it is straight from God. Watch your mouth and don't even think about it. How many times have we heard this said, but guess what it is an original straight from God. Love you, Love you, Love you. Rev. Chris
