Just Sayin', The Creative, Sustaining Power of the Word [Part 2]

Your capacity to speak words and called names that are accurate has come back to you through the gift of the Holy Spirit and God is within you and God can rule with and you and you can learn and you can grow every single day on speaking life Helen Wright saying you're not able to stay with the entire program I want to make sure you know how to get our special resort available to you right now for your gift to searing the as you listen to today's message go deeper as we send you today's special contact us that sharing the.org or by phone at 877-544-4860 that's 877-544-4860. More on this later in the program but right now let's get started with today's teaching here now is Alan Wright what you actually believe in your heart you speak about these things.

You can't separate things change. Three. Famously speak so that if we put bits in the mouths of horses so they may as we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also leather so large and driven by strong winds, are guided by very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot asked just one little reference to huge, so also the tongue is a small number yet it boasts of great things how great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire.

So God designed us to have power and are words and then told us over and over, over and over and over in the Bible about how powerful our words are. I think it's important if you want to think more deeply about why they are so poor powerful to consider words as symbols, symbols stand for something and when that symbol is strong. That symbol carries with it the freight for the weight of that which it symbolizes what we know this because our world is so confused right now that as I said earlier were just calling things what they're not and people are rising up say no you can't call me that.

Why did they care so much because the symbol is to intimately aligned with the essence and so to speak the word of the symbol is to carry the weight of the essence young 24-year-old man named Franco last week, came forth with a winning lottery ticket worth $768 million, 24 years of age. He was cute. He said he went to work the day after he discovered that he had the winning ticket is and I couldn't even think straight and I was in a cold sweat.

The whole day worrying about the ticket that some I would steal it or get lost or something and I understand because the way the thing works is you get a little piece of paper.

I think it has a barcode on it in numbers. I guess, and that little piece of paper.

Once it was the winning ticket was worth $768 million, and if it's lost or stolen, or gone, you don't have. There is no other plan is it's it's it's UK UK claimant online.

You got to have the ticket and so his ticket was a tiny piece of paper that was a symbol of his wealth and you can say what is just a piece of paper that will symbol well in one hand as a piece of paper is worthless is less worth than zero. It's it's it's it's less than zero because you can float away in some I got to be paid to take it to the recycler of the dump or something.

It's it's worth less than zero dollars is a piece of paper, but as a symbol of what he just one. It is actually worth $768 million. So you would never say always just a piece of paper you would say that ticket it's not the $768 million, but the $768 million is so closely aligned with it that you can't separate the two waiters with your words, your words are not the essence which are words so powerful that they carry with it the essence.

That's why the parent calls a child stupid is not the essence of that child's intelligence, but the symbol of his powerful was so much authority that once embraced and ingested into the child. The child would live that out but if you speak to someone and say you're a blessing that little word blessing might be symbol but with it.

You carry the whole freight of the power of God to love and transform a life in you. Somebody, anybody at all for his purposes to be a blessing in this world, words are infinitely powerful. Language is powerful because it is one of the ways were like God may be the most important way that we are like God. No other creature was made in God's image. We alone are the pinnacle of his creation. Animals can't speak like us vast amount of scholarship about language and I know the porpoises make little sounds each other and monkey's things, but the complicated speech that is human is completely unknown to any other type of creature. It is so fascinating. We are wired to be able to speak one of most prominent scholars in the field of linguistics, known come ski the famous linguistics expert has argued that humans are born with language acquisition device LAD that somehow a structure in the brain is hardwired with a universal grammar. He argues that the idea of a child being born as a blank slate is just insufficient to explain what is that a child could learn language because if you think about it. Beloved. This is just completely mindbending that a tiny little baby comes into the world and all on his or her own just by being around alive in the world develops the capacity for the most complicated mysteries that we know of, and that is human speech and pretty soon is putting together complicated sentences and expressing ideas through human speech. How do we do that we do that, I went took seven years of Spanish. All I can say is a lot baby comes in.

I can just learn to talk and when is BS. It makes us human. Helen Keller blind, deaf and mute said that for nearly 6 years. I had no concept of nature reminder – the God I literally thought when my body and suddenly I woke to language the knowledge of the usual concept of nature of good and evil has actually lifted from nothingness to human life. What makes us most human is what also makes is most like God he can speak and we can speak in his words have power in our words have power. And so when God brought these animals in front of of Adam God was saying this is going to be a delight to watch because I am authorizing him to be alcohol these their names because Julio to see what they are. And Adam was not confused when sin entered the world. We became very confused. Essentially the agenda of hell to get you to call something by the wrong name that tree, God really say in the tree that was forbidden was called appealing and ever since everyone born in sin struggles to call things what they really are to mislabel to project a wrong identity and identity determines destiny. The value of a thing is related to what it is called if you had a van Gogh original masterpiece and didn't know it because somebody else had signed it. Fred Jones and you thought all you had was an original Fred Jones where you might throw it away. But if somebody was an art expert came and said you got an original van Gogh user will but it says on here. Fred Jones. There was been mislabeled and is not been signed properly is actually a van Gogh venue would be wealthy and so Helen wants to label you incorrectly and would like for us to label others incorrectly so that we would restrict their destiny Allen right you are listening to, sharing will have more teaching in a moment from today's important series. I am deliberate here with Pastor Alan Wright these days of global pandemic are dark and difficult. But there's a bright light of global hope today. Today is a worldwide day of giving and unity. The national organization given Tuesday, which famously sponsors giving Tuesday in November has promoted today as an additional day of giving, like a Daniel.

We are so happy to be participating in a global day of giving and hope and unity right in the middle of worldwide pandemic and there is a worldwide giving taken place today.

And what a blessing that is we share an ally are excited about these days. So proclamation of the gospel when people are sheltering in place, they are more poised to hear the truth than ever and their spiritual thirst all over the world. When you get to share why you are enabling us to proclaim the gospel to tens of thousands of people on the radio, Internet, and in print every day every week of the year. Like so many ministries Daniel these are financially challenging times for share in the light, we need to be open about that. We can remain financially strong but take help from all of our friends and partners and for many partner with us before on this global day of unity, giving hope. We thank you for your partnership in the gospel again to participate in today's date of giving Jerry.org or by calling right now. eight 775-448-6877 544-3860 sharing the like.org or 877-544-4860 sharing the lying teaching now continue you once again is Allen right if you're going to have dominion as God gave to Adam and Eve and said have dominion in their which means to have a place of authoritative rule in the world I made you a little lower than the angels in my own image and now I release you. I bless you and I want you to have dominion rule wisely be good stewards of the earth live out a destiny, but if you're going to do so. You need to be a call. Things what they really are. If you're going to be able to lead well in your family.

For example, have dominion is apparent is essential that you call your children what they really, I essentially just tried to parent back calling my children what they really are. My wife was the best when children would do something really foolish and you just had that moment of frustration you just want to call them the wrong name but she wouldn't say God gave you a wonderful brain now use it far better thing when someone is acting to say this is not who you are than the call them the wrong name to call someone the wrong name is to breed fear everywhere.

I don't know anything about snakes so I hate all snakes. If the snake is brown at all to me at the copperhead really know if we got rattlesnakes but if it's even shaken around limit that must be a rattlesnake. And if it's in the water watermark is is only six I know about, but a real estate expert sees a snake as is as not a copperhead at all that there are several look just like you said that's harmless. That person might say leave that snake alone will kill the mice in your yard it'll take care of things for you.

Leave it alone.

I can't do that I dislike nowhere could be a You know what something is, you know what to do with it. It really is a comprehension you know it is called a copperhead be done with it gets a biopsy done with this run away whatever that means that what we have to learn to love it is that there's a huge distinction between what someone does and who they are. Which leads me to some really really important point, and that is that God wants you to call yourself by the right name. So I make mistakes but I'm not a mistake.

I feel it things but I'm not a failure and beloved, I still sin but I'm not a sinner I'm a saint. And if you're in Jesus Christ you're not old center struggling to get by your holy one your set apart under God redeems of him chosen in Christ from the foundation of the world.

My job is easy.

All you have to do is call God who he really is and every chance I get.

Call you who you really are what we do, no matter where you're leaving or whose life you're influencing when you speak to yourself will determine the way you think about yourself and one time I want that was little. It had about all shot. These are stinking the camera to me later and he said that as it ascends. I asked think and I said well is it a sin to tell someone else that they stink is that you're probably so as to whether you have your answer is your human being. Also, curse and blessing. Scripture says you should really come out of the same mouth and this means beloved also that it is very important he let speak into your life very important. I don't speak indirectly but we just put it this way.

Don't let someone who has less face for your life speak into your life.

No let someone who has a lesser vision of your life, be the one to determine how you think about your life, get yourself around somebody close enough of God's word enough sense of the possibilities that come with the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that when they speak they can see things in your life when you get around those that are mislabeling. I know it's difficult as you may have some in your own workplace your own family. Now I will have to just get away from all of this well you don't have to say it out loud, but you can whisper it, you can say to yourself I don't receive that and remind yourself who you are.

So I got bit about this was a solid Adam who once knew how to call things what they were, and then lost it when sin came in the world because of distorted thinking is the way to correct this is will send another Adam and I will send someone who will live a sinless life and will perfectly be able to see and what things are. And Jesus came the second Adam, and he knew everything was something with a hurricane, and it needed to be reviewed services little storm is past and you just enjoy it.

You know whether something was a demon that need to be cast out or disease need to be healed, just a bad mood that you need to ignore Jesus knew what things weren't called things what they were sometimes called things pretty harshly. The Pharisees were whitewashed tombs and thereby thought all the Pharisees that wonderful wonderful. They're the ones that are similar disease.

Another not be a woman that was caught in adultery. He call her daughter was a man that was done to deny him three times and betray him and called him a rock because you can see in the things he can see into your life and you can see exactly who you are and call you exactly who you are because Jesus came and his timing was perfect. The word of God and become flesh. Anybody who trust in Jesus Christ is redeemed by his shed blood and you in Christ and grafted into him are given restoration and what it means is that your time and your capacities speak words and called names that are accurate has come back to you through the gift of the Holy Spirit and God is within you and God can rule with and you and you can learn and you can grow every single day and your time speaking life.

You're born again in the second Adam, so you can call things by what they really are.

And it means you can be used by God to change somebody's life every single day, and it's not hard of in this way, true story of a man was sitting in the restaurant nearly hundred years ago. The story and just talking to a stranger and he said to the strangers that you see those hillsides over there somewhere in Tennessee and the days that I know a boiler grew up over and those hillsides really poor and it didn't have a father and everywhere he goes he was so Hoosier father and just or just be so embarrassed about it. Kids picked on instead Hoosier daddy, and he didn't have one.

And so you so ashamed about all of this was a problem in fear of his life and one day as a church and it was a new pastor a church and the past was meeting people is her exiting church and the pastor was talking to the little boy so Hoosier father and everybody around got silent because he knew he just touched upon the greatest pain in this little child's life in the pastor immediately realized it and called himself this. It always equipment nevermind I see the resemblance.

I know who you are your father's God, you're a child of God you got a wonderfulness that you be sure and claimant their young man and his fellow said to the stranger he said and I don't think that boiler grown up to amount to anything if the preacher hadn't said that that day and the man walked out of the stranger turned to waitress that was there said who is that she's aware of. I knows that man that's been who perform governor of Tennessee code 1 word change somebody's life. Yes, it can change your words, change your world that's the gospel.

Today's teaching is name-calling.
