Sermon Tone Analysis

We have *started* *teaching* on the *subject* of *Confessing* what *the* *Word* of God for the past few weeks.

We *also* *looked *at the *importance* of *getting* our *minds* *renewed* to the Word of God.

     *I*.

(*/Proverbs 23:7/*) “*/For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he/*.”

*A*.

We *need* to *see* *ourselves* *in light of the Word* of God.

                        *1.* *Whatever* you’re *thinking* *on* is what is *in your heart*.

*a.*

And if it’s in your heart, it’s going to come out of your mouth.

*2.*

Jesus us in (*/Matthew 12:34/*) “*/Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh/*.”

*II.

*Look at */LUKE 17:5-6/*

              *A.

*The KJV says*/, “/**If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed/, /**ye might say*...”

                                  *b.

*But *in the **Greek it’s a **little different*.

*i.

*The *Greek interlinear* (along with the *Wuest* Translation and *New American Standard Bible says*, “*If you had faith as a seed/ /**you would say*”*/ /*

                                  *c.

*The *ASV* *says* the *same thing*.

It’s *worded like this*, “*And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed/, /**/ye would say /**unto this sycamore tree/, /**Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would/ /**/obey you./*”

i.

Faith has a voice.

*i.

Faith speaks* *and **when it does the circumstance will change*, *it must obey you*.

*2.

*This *did not say* it *would obey God*, and it *did not say* that it would *obey* the *H.S.* *It says that **it would obey you*.

*3.

*Now *notice* that the *apostles said*, “*Lord/, /**Increase our faith*,” “*Lord, why don’t you just give us more faith?

That’s what we need, we need more faith*.”

*a.

Jesus replied* to that statement, “*You don’t need more faith*.

i.

All you need is a drop of faith, something that’s the size of a seed.

ii.

But *Jesus* was *implying* is that *you need to understand how faith works.

*

                                  b.

The main point that Jesus is trying to get across is that faith is released when you speak it.

i.

The very power that is contained in faith is released when you speak it, when you confess it.

*c.*

Look at MARK 11:23

                                           i.

Notice Jesus’ teaching here.

1st He says “You have to say it.”

“Speak to you mountain.”

ii.

Then he says “ You can’t doubt it, but your have to believe it.”

iii.

The 3rd thing that He says here is that after to speak, and believe it, it will come to pass.

It will happen.

iv.

The power of faith is released when you speak it.

*III.

*In the book Numbers chapter 13. *Moses sent **12 spies into the promise land* to spy out the land, but only *2 spies came back with a good report, **10 came back with an evil report*.

*1.

*The *people listened to the evil negative report* of the 10 spies.

*a.

*The *people began to murmur*.

*2.

*And because of that the Lord said in (NUMBERS 14:28-29) “As ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.”

KJV

                                  a.

The power that is contained in Faith is released when you speak the Word of God and believe it.

b.

But doubt and unbelief also has a power contained in it and it too is released by speaking it and believing it.

*B.

*We *also have* the *story in the book* of *JOSHUA* *where* the *children* of *Israel came to* the city of *Jericho*.

*Joshua told* the *peop**le* that they *could not* even *say* a *word*.

*1.

**/JOSHUA 6:10/*

                                  a.

What was so important about the words that came out of their mouth?

b*.

If* the *people* would have been *allowed to talk* then I’m sure there *would have been* a lot of *negative talking*.

*i.

*The *wrong confession*, like how are we ever going to take this city, they are going to destroy us.

*ii.

There had to be a stop to it before they would reap the fruit of their lips*.

*C.

*In the book of (*/LUKE 1:13, 18-20/*) an *angel* appe*a*red to *Zacharias* and *told* *him* that he was *going to have a son*.

*1.

Zacharias could not believe it*.

Because of it the *angel* *said* in (*/Luke 1:20/*) “*/And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season/*.”

a.

Because Zacharias did not believe, he would had spoken his unbelief.

i.

It would have come out of his heart.

*D.*

(*/Proverbs 18:21/*) says, “*/Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue/*.”

*                    1.

*We have to have this *revelation for ourselves and you’ll* begin to *change Situations through the Word* of God.

                                  *b.

Get* that *revelation for yourself and you’ll* begin to *change Situations through the Word* of God.

          *IV.**

**/HEB 11:1-3/*

                   *A.*

We could word *(HEB 11:3)* this way, “We understand that it was through faith that t worlds were framed by the Word of God.”

                             *1.*

That’s how *God framed t worlds.*

It was through t Word: t *spoken Word *of God.

                                      *a.* *God spoke* t *words* which *brought* everything *into existence*.

*b.*

*All things* were *made by words*.

*2.**

**/JOHN 1:1-3/*

                                      *a.**

“Without him”,* was not any thing made that was made.

*Who* is t *“him”* that we’re talking about?
