0:00 When I was in school and I was about to get and getting ready to write my uh final exam in the 12th standard, I did my ISC from public school and my English teacher called me and she said, "You will not pass." This is after the pre-finals. I said, "I was broken on the inside." She was very clear. She said, "You won't pass." And me and a couple of other guys, we were pulled aside and said, "You won't pass." I said, "Really?" I went to God and I prayed. See those words when people in authority speak have have great power to mold your thinking and make you believe and you always attract what you believe.
0:47 >> Right? But good news is I did not attract that. I actually scored the highest marks in that paper by the but I prayed a lot to be honest. It was not my skill. It was not anything. And today God uses me to communicate in English which I was supposed to fail. So praise God for that. But I'm just saying this words are very very powerful. So before you utter some because sometimes you want to get at people >> and so you use words and you go back and regret why did I say that but you already done the damage. >> Are you with me? You can go and say sorry and the person can forgive you but
1:34 the damage is not stopped because that is knowing at him or her and that really debilitates the person. And it really discourages the person and makes them sometimes it can make them hopeless. So be careful. God used words to create. The worlds that we seen were created by the words that were spoken by God. And God gave the same ability to man. We will look at that as we go forward. But let's go to now Joshua. No, sorry. Yeah. Joshua chapter 10 please and look at look at verse 12. Joshua 10:12 and 13 King James. Now let me let me give you
2:21 some background here. Joshua had defeated and conquered both Jericho and Ai and the word had spread. So the king of Jerusalem I forget his name wanted to attack Israel. So now he knew he did not have enough strength. So it connected with four other Amorite kings. So there were five Amorite kings that came together became a collaboration and they said we will go against Gibian. Why? Because Gibian had made a covenant with Joshua and in the covenant they made it they they said that they will protect Gibian. So when the when the five Amorite kings
3:08 came to fight against and conquer Gibian, Gibian sends a word to Joshua saying, "You got to help us." So now let's read. That's the background of the story. The then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. Now remember, God told Joshua that he had already given the Amorites into his hand. Okay. And if you read the story, it's very interesting. God fights their battle and the Bible records that more people died of hail stone rather than from the sword. So God was involved in the battle. Okay? And now Joshua is saying to the Lord uh when the Lord
3:55 delivered up the Amorites before the king of Israel and he said in the sight of Israel, that means he spoke before the children of Israel. He spoke aloud. Talk to me. He spoke aloud that the Israelites heard him. What did he say? Watch. [clears throat] Son thou stand thou still upon Gibian and the moon in the valley of Agelon. He commanded it. He commanded the sun to stop and the moon to stop. Now I [snorts] I mean this is mindblowing because he's actually stopping the rotation of the earth.
4:42 >> This is mind-blowing. It's not just saying okay the sun will stop. If the sun has to stand the earth has to stop rotation. >> Can you understand what I'm saying? Can you see how powerful the words of man are? I want you to get this. So he says stop. And the Bible records, the sun stood still and the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. It didn't move. It is recorded that the sun stood and the moon stood. But in actual fact, according to what we know today, it was the earth that stood still. How did this happen? God did not speak. Joshua spoke.
5:30 Joshua spoke. Joshua was just like you and I. But Joshua had a relationship with God. He knew the heartbeat of God. See, Joshua was not saying it because he wanted [snorts] something of his own to happen. He was speaking to establish the will of God because God had already started fighting for Joshua and his men. Now to finish the battle when God when Joshua spoke in line with God's will, what happened? It happened. But I want you to know it was man who spoke, not God. Most people don't realize the power
6:16 their words carry. Your words carry a lot of power. That's why we are so careless when we speak and we don't realize how our words impact our lives and the lives of others. Can you imagine when my teacher told me that I would not pass what it would have done to my heart? I'm sure she did not realize that, but she was I was crippled on the inside. Words. If you know and I know how to encourage people through our words.
7:02 Speak words of life. Speak words that will cause them to go beyond the limits. Yes, I can see that value in you. I can see the potential in you. See the difference between an ordinary man and a leader is a leader can see potential in a person. The ordinary person can only see what they see right now but they cannot see the potential in them. But if you are a leader, you can see potential. You and I know very well how Peter was. Peter acted before he spoke and got into trouble many times. But Jesus was the one that could see potential in him. He never let him go. He knew he was going
7:49 to betray him, you know, deny him, I should say, deny him. Yet he saw potential in Peter because he saw that Peter was going to deny him. He told him that. True. >> Is that true? He told him that you're going to deny me three times. And yet Jesus did not give up on Peter. So if we can develop the mindset and the heart that Jesus had, although we see flaws in people, although we see these loopholes and flaws, rather than focus on it, we need to try to encourage them looking at the potential in the person. Not approving of their mistakes, not approving of
8:35 their sins, but looking beyond that so that we can encourage them to overcome those things and become a better person and fulfill their destiny. Can I get an amen on that? >> Hallelujah. See, the reason I'm teaching you this is I want to make sure that God is working in all of our hearts that from now we will start to be more careful when we talk to others, >> before we pass judgment, before we say something that is hurtful, before we say something that will, you know, that that will discourage the person, let's stop, think before you speak. And when you
9:21 speak, let it be words of encouragement. Amen. >> Let's be careful. What you're saying is creating or framing your reality. What you say creates your or frames your reality. What you said yesterday is what you're experiencing today. Your words shape your reality and your destiny. Your words shape your reality and your destiny. Look at how God operates. Genesis 1:es 2 and three. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness
10:06 was upon the face of the deep. The earth was what? Without form, it was void. And darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of the L upon the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. For how long? We do not know. God was not in an under pressure to say something. God was waiting. God was waiting. The Holy Spirit was moving. Let the Holy Spirit move upon your heart before you open your mouths. >> Let him impress upon you as to what you should say and what you should deliver.
10:52 Amen. So the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. While the spirit was moving, nothing around that was in good shape. It was dark. It was void. It was without form. And then God said, "Let there be light." And there was light. God spoke what he wanted. Now watch this. Nothing happened until God spoke. If you want your situation to change, if you want your sick body to be healed, if you need your financial situation to become better, you want to get out of a situation, you need to wait on the Holy
11:40 Spirit with the word. And when the Holy Spirit stirs something in you, now you open your mouth. Because now when you release those words, those words come with power to create. Amen. >> Write this down. This planet is voice activated. This planet is voice activated. You activate possibilities in this kingdom by speaking faithfilled words. Give me a my cell phone or anybody's cell phone please quickly.
12:29 When we had these phones, we would if you wanted to dial I wanted to dial or talk to Pastor Sam. I would have to check look for Pastor Sam's name, look for his number and then press that number to dial. Today I can say Siri call Pastor Sam. It's voice activated. It's voice activated. This planet is voice activated. How do I know God did it? The first one to use that activation was God himself. >> He said, "Let there be light." He didn't use his hands. >> He used his words. He used his voice. You activate possibilities in this
13:16 kingdom by speaking faithfilled words. So every time you speak words, the sound is terrible. Every time you speak words filled with faith, something is happening that you may not see immediately, but it is happening. >> You and I have to wait. This is Hey, listen. This is why the Lord said meditate on the word because what? Waited. As you pray in the Holy Ghost and you meditate on the word, the Holy Spirit is hovering. >> And he's giving you the words to speak IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS RATHER THAN SAY, "WHOA, it's so dark." What did the
14:02 Holy Spirit give the Lord God Almighty work together to say? Let there BE LIGHT. THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED. WHAT DO YOU WANT? >> DO YOU WANT TO STAY WHERE YOU ARE? Are you enjoying your ill health? Are you enjoying the lack of finances? Are you enjoying the relational PROBLEMS YOU'RE HAVING? ARE YOU ENJOYING THAT? IF YOU want to change it, wait on the Holy Spirit. Look into the word. See what the word says. And now activate it by speaking the word. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED IF YOU WILL SPEAK WORDS THAT CAN ACTIVATE SOMETHING IN THE REALM of the spirit that bring about creation >> and destroy the works of the devil.
14:47 Let me take you to numbers. Numbers chapter 20 please. Now the people of God at that time in the book of Numbers chapter 20 they were in the wilderness or the desert called Zin. So it's a desert. I mean you should actually go and look up these places in on the map or in Wikipedia or some of those places you will understand why sometimes those people reacted the way they reacted. If you see the desert of Zin, you'll understand why they reacted the way they did. And if you did not have enough faith in God, I mean, what they
15:33 did or what they said would be justified. >> It was so terrible. It was so hard. Nothing around. If you ever flew over Egypt, man, I was watching and I said, "My God, these guys, I I don't know how they walked, not a tree, harsh temperatures [snorts] hot sun, and they were walking in the desert and no road. They did not know where the destination was." you. It's not like the the Google map says another 10 minutes you're going to arrive there. There's no 10 minutes. They get just got to follow the cloud. The cloud can go for days.
16:18 They don't even know where they're going to stop. >> Was not easy. But Joshua and Caleb were different because they knew their God. To walk this life without knowing God. >> That's good. you are going to respond and I'm going to respond like these guys did because their faith will always be shaky and they'll be looking at circumstances and the pressures and the challenges and the issues that arise time upon time or time after time. So they're in the wilderness of the desert of Zen and look what it says. And here they buried the prophetus Miriam. Okay. There was no
17:05 water for the people to drink at that place. Say no water. >> No water. >> You're in a desert, man. Imagine. Don't let let's not rush through it. You're in a desert. There is no shade anywhere. There is not a tree anywhere. There is no water anywhere. It's not like okay if I wait for another couple of days at least I can get to that oasis. There is nothing like that. That means it's a in the NATURAL IT'S A HOPELESS SITUATION. There is nothing I can LOOK FORWARD TO EXCEPT THAT IF I'M IN GOD I look forward to God to do a miracle. I don't know EACH ONE OF YOU MAY BE
17:51 FACING a situation like that in a different way. So listen, no water for people to drink at that place. So they rebelled against Moses and Aaron. And the people blamed Moses and said, "If only we had died in the Lord's presence with our brothers." Can you imagine? Nobody would ask for death if it was at least possible or it was like they had something to look forward to. There is no water and they don't know how far they have to walk still to find any water or any shade
18:38 there. I mean it's like a hopeless situation. And so they began to blame the leadership. Where have you brought us? It would have been better for us to die. You know what they were talking about? Suicide. THEY LOST ALL HOPE OF LIVING. THEY FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE PROMISED LAND THAT flows with milk and honey. They said, "Forget about milk and honey. Give us water." Why did YOU MAKE THESE FALSE PROMISES? Why are you getting US HERE AND TRAPPING US? WE'RE GOING TO DIE IN THIS place is what they said. And it would have been better FOR US TO HAVE DIED WITH THE BROTHERS. Why have you brought the congregation of
19:24 the Lord's people to this wilderness to die along with our livestock? Cuz all they could see was death because there IS NO WATER. HOW long are you going to survive without water? How long can you survive? You can survive much longer without food, but how long can you survive without water? So they said, "YOU BROUGHT US HERE TO KILL US AND OUR LIVESTOCK." And so Moses and Aaron, they go to the Lord, the meeting place, the tent, and they fall in their face and they be they begin to cry to God. I don't know what your problem is. I don't know how challenging it is. I don't know how hopeless it is. I have good news for you. >> God is not far from you.
20:12 >> God is very close to you. And if you can only connect with him, he will create the possibilities. >> Look what he says now. And the Lord said to Moses, who >> whoes? Say it again. Who? >> Lord. The Lord said to Moses, "You and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the entire community as the people watch. Speak to the rock over there and it will pour out its water." This planet is voice activated. >> Not just your cell phone. Even rocks will respond to your voice.
20:59 Seas will respond to your voice. >> Trees will respond to YOUR VOICE. DEAD BODIES WILL respond to your voice. You know why? Because both animate and inanimate objects can hear your voice. >> Those that have life and those that do not have life, they all can hear your voice. >> Are you killing your future through the words you're speaking? ARE YOU DESTROYING YOUR DESTINY BY THE WORDS YOU'RE speaking because of the pressure you're under now? And the situations around you make you feel hopeless and make you feel like there's no future. They make you feel like I don't
21:45 think it's going to get any better. And so out of the midst of that pain, out of the midst of those circumstances, YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO SAY SOMETHING AND YOU JUSTIFIED BY SAYING, "WELL, that's a reality." Yes, but don't you want to change the reality? The reality was it was dark. The reality was the earth was void. The reality was it WAS WITHOUT FORM. GOD SAID, "I DON'T know reality. I want to change reality." The reality will change when you open your mouth. Don't use your mouth to only express reality. Open your mouth to change reality. >> CREATE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT THERE. Say amen. >> He said, "Moses, go and speak to the rock." He never said strike it.
22:31 >> This is where Moses missed it and he never entered the promised land. Say amen. >> Hallelujah to the Lord. Moses was instructed to speak to the rock by God. How many times year after year, Pastor Winston came and he said, "I placed my bills on the table and I spoke to the bills." What was he doing? Can bills hear? Yes, they can. >> Take that rejection letter from the corporation you get saying, "Sorry, we are not able to offer this job. lay it on the table and speak to it and say I don't know this corporation may have closed the door but wherever it is that
23:18 open that door be opened in the name of Jesus >> I've applied a loan in this bank and that bank and this bank everywhere I was rejected but I don't know where it's coming from but I call forth money to come it need not come through a bank it can come through anywhere and through anybody BUT SPEAK THE WORD DON'T SPEAK REALITY SPEAK WHAT YOU WANT TO MAKE IT MAKE a reality of. >> Speak what you want to become a reality in your life. >> Hallelujah. >> I said hallelujah. >> So as I look at you, I say I see champions. >> You may not be a champion right now, but I say it because I want to see you come
24:04 there. >> And you sit there and you say, I don't know what THAT MEANS. NO. AGREE WITH IT AND YOU START SAYING, "I'm a champion. I'm more than a conqueror. I'm healed by stripes. I WILL NOT DIE BEFORE my time arrives. I will not die until my my I finish my course. I will not die until I finish and complete the assignment that God has given me. No, nothing can kill me. Nothing. Not cancer, nor any disease. No, I will not. No, no, no, no. just because I forgot where I kept my keys a few days ago or just because I'm struggling to know the you trying struggling to uh remember the name of somebody just because uh I forgot something Alzheimer's is not coming he is not allowed not permitted into this
24:50 place he is not permitted to mess with my brain I have a sharp mind the Lord has touched me I am healed of the Lord no Alzheimer's Amen no dementia nothing can hurt me nothing can STEAL MY MEMORY. GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH A BLESSED MEMORY. I WILL REMEMBER EVERYTHING. THAT MAY NOT BE YOUR REALITY right now, BUT THAT WILL BECOME your reality when you open your mouth and activate it by THE WORDS YOU SPEAK out of your mouth. Come on now. AMEN. THIS BODY MAY BE SICK, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO ALLOW IT to continue to be sick. I'm going to speak life. And when I'm speaking something AND I'M SPEAKING IT BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD, I AM CREATING SOMETHING. I'M EXPELLING SOMETHING OUT OF MY BODY. I'M INSTILLING
25:36 SOMETHING FROM THE WORD OF GOD. And I declare I am the healed of the Lord. I AM STRONG. EVERY BONE HAS TO BE STRONG. EVERY NERVE HAS TO BE STRONG. EVERY CELL HAS TO BE STRONG. AND EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT OF GOD IS UPROOTED AND CAST OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. YOU SHALL LIVE [screaming] AND YOU SHALL BE STRONG AND you shall live long AND YOU SHALL GLORIFY THE WORKS OF GOD. YOU SHALL GLORIFY GOD THROUGH THE WORKS THAT HE DOES in your life. Somebody shout hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> You're not a loser, friend. >> You may be You might have lost something, but you're not a loser. YOU MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH A LOSS RIGHT NOW, BUT YOU'RE NOT A LOSER. THAT'S not your destiny. You're a winner. And I'm GOING TO CHANGE MY LOSS, MY SITUATION. I'M
26:22 GOING TO MOVE FROM LOSS TO GAIN. I'M GOING TO MOVE FROM DEFEAT TO VICTORY. HOW? NOT [screaming] BY CRYING, BUT BY SPEAKING. I'M GOING TO ACTIVATE SOMETHING IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT and I'm going TO SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING IN MY SITUATION AND I WILL CREATE IT BY SPEAKING GOD'S WORD THAT DARKNESS I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO TALK TO DARKNESS I ONLY HAVE TO SPEAK TO THE LIGHT [screaming] I DON'T HAVE TO SAY DARKNESS GET OUT I SAY LIGHT COME AND LIGHT WILL COME AND [screaming] LIGHT WILL DESTROY DARKNESS AND GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED THROUGH YOUR LIVES SOMEBODY SHOUT HALLELUJAH JESUS. [cheering] >> JESUS. Glory be to God. Hallelujah.

Thank God for the word of God because the word of God is the power of God. Now, I [music] want to pray for you.

27:52 you to do something. [music] If it's particularly if it's sickless, I want to reach out, reach your hand out to the television to lay your hand on the TV [music] and lay one hand on the part of your body that is hurting.

Whatever that addiction is, whatever that bondage is, it be broken now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
