Sermon Tone Analysis

*     *Last time we were *talking about Jesus confessing t Word* of God & by *Him confessing God’s Word it would produce faith.

(ROM 10:17)* Says, “So then faith {cometh} by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

     *I.*

Let’s look at */JOHN 12:47-50/* again today.

*A.**

Jesus spoke* t *words of *His *Father;* when He did it *caused faith to come *on the* inside* of Him.

                        *1.**

Faith *that is *in God’s Word, gets into* your *spirit when you speak it.*

*2.*

What you *speak about yourself* will *affect* your *health, *your *finances,* your *social life,* t *way other people see you, every area.

*

                        *          **a.*

T *Word *of God is *more powerful in your life when you hear *it *spoken out of your mouth.

*

                                  *          **i.**

Words* will *affect you more when *they are *spoken out of your mouth.*

*          **ii.*

Jesus said in (*MAT 12:34*), “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”

(KJV)

*                                  **b.*

What *you speak out *is what *you believe.*

It will affect you much more if you already believe it in your heart than if you hear something for t 1st time.

*i.*

Sure *some faith will come if you here *me speak t Word, *But* even *more will come if you speak it* out of your mouth.

*          **ii.*

That’s why God told Joshua in (*JOSH 1:8*), “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth.”

*iii.*

If you went around *speaking everything God said, *you would *get highly developed in t God kind of Faith.*

*II.*

God *created *us w~/ *2 sets of ears*, an *OUTER &* an *INNER EAR*.

*A.*

You *hear yourself speak *w~/ your *inner ear.*

                        *1.**

Your voice *is *picked up *by your *inner ear & feeds directly into *your human *spirit.

*

                                  *a.*

Your *spirit needs* to *HEAR *t *Word* of God.

                        *2.** **/PRO 3:3/*

 

 

 

                                  *a.**

How* are you going to *write things on* t *table of *your *heart* (or spirit)?

*b.**

*(*PSA 45:1*) Says, “My tongue {is} the pen of a ready writer.”

(KJV)

              *B.*

Lets put some of these things together.

*1.*

God told Joshua, “Don’t let t Word depart out of your mouth.

Meditate therein day & night.

Observe to do all that is written therein.

Then you will make your way prosperous.”

*2.**

**/DEUT 28:1-2/*

                                  *a.*

*b.*

In other words it means, *to diligently & intelligently listen,* & *to declare.*

*3.**

Faith will come* to you much *more quickly &* have a much *more powerful effect* in your life *when you speak it out* of your mouth.

*4.**

**/JAMES 1:26/*

                                  *a.**

(NIV) *(*JAM 1:26*) “If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.”

*b.*

T word “*deceiveth*”* *means “*to cheat,* i.e., delude: - deceive.”

                                           *i.*

We’re *causing *our *spirits *to be *deceived by not bridling *our *tongue.*

*ii.*

In other words, *we’re cheating our spirits by not confessing t Word* of God.

                                                     *a.*

T *tongue will deceive t heart* if we’re not confessing t right thing.

*III.**

**/MARK 4:14/*

              *A.**

What* is t* man sowing?

WORDS*

                        *1.*

This *V* is specifically *talking about t Word *of God.

                        *2.** *T* Bible calls t Word* of God t *INCORRUPTIBLE SEED.*

                                  *a.** *(*1PE 1:23*) Says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”

(KJV)

                                  *b.**

If *there is an *incorruptible seed* then there is a *corruptible seed.

*

*                                           **i.**

*T *incorruptible seed is t Word *of God *& t corruptible seed* would be *everything* that is *contrary to t word *of God.

                                           *ii.*

But there is a *Parallel between t Word & every other word.*

*iii.*

That means that *every word* your speak *is a seed.*

*Iv.*

That *doesn’t mean* that you will *always have t harves*t *of *what you *planted.

You can do things to stop t harvest.

Like confessing t Word* of God *then*, confessing *t problem* again.

Jesus said in (*LUK 17:21*), “The kingdom of God is within you.” (KJV)
