Greetings friends and new listeners shower not welcoming you to the sound of thing because we know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Today's message is part of an in-depth study entitled the spoken word series, which includes teaching on the creative word of God because everything that's created, visible and invisible God spoke into being. Also, the living word.

The revelation of the two mouths sword of the Spirit which is the spoken word of God. When we speak what God has quickened to our spirits. This teaching is the culmination of my own personal journey from a place of deep despair to an authorized and dynamite is Deputy of the spoken word of God remember what God told the children of Israel when they were coming to the end of their journey and Moses was getting ready to go to be with God and Moses said he spoke and he told them, I'll just refer you to it.

Deuteronomy threes as any onboard you and suffered you to hunger, and he said you with manna which you did not know. Neither did your fathers know that he might make you to know that Nan does not live by bread alone, but by that proceeds out of the mouth of God. God didn't give them a seed to plant it and give him a seed to grow a crop or harvest the grain or grind it or bake it is bread. It came straight down from heaven already has bread God probably said, let there be bread, no basics that he probably said be.

Amen. And by the same token, God gave his word to Moses. Moses wrote them down but they were his words.

They were God's words and see what was the whole point in the manner what was the point of it just to feed them know the point was to show them shots like this bread came straight from heaven. Nan had nothing to do with that Nan didn't plan to see Brandon grow a crop man didn't harvest the grain man did not put it in the bank.

This did not make this bread God one that Nan given to Moses now to give you. I want to understand this you is not Moses is coming right from my mouth. Just like the manna came from heaven. These words came from heaven, and if you'd read all John six he had this big discourse with the Pharisees and that You know trying to revert back to the old covenant and they said what you need to show us a sign that you are who you say you are show as a sign because you know our fathers were in the wilderness and he gave them bread to eat from heaven and Jesus corrected them and said Moses didn't give you that bread my father in heaven gave that bread and I want to tell you the bread, bread, he shall have everlasting life. Amen. And Jesus said in John six chapter 7 times that I am the true bread from heaven that gives life.

So this word of God is alive now were going to go to our third homework first and that is Hebrews the fourth chapter verse 12 Hebrews 4 and 12. This is a very important one for the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart the word of God is quick, I told you.

Just a moment ago. What is that mean it's a lie. The Greek word is Zoe. You've heard Zoe before. What is Zoe mean life. The word of God is alive and the word of God is powerful.

Now we are accustomed to the word powerful and power, and most of the time we think of due to miss that dynamite power of God. But in this particular verse power is not doing in this, it's Anna Garreau, Anna Garreau EN ER GEO can you hear the English word energy energy. So what it means is the word of God is not only a lie, but it's energized to give life. Amen. God's word. Not only is alive. Life is very crucial.

People I want to tell you, lie here, but I can give you life, but I can get you like, but this is a lie.

I live that I like to read this way instead of alive and parable this is the way I like to read the word of God is alive and active because it produces life and that light is produced when it is spoken. The divine energy that creates the light that's in the word of God. It's inherent in the word when it is spoken, it releases that life now this is really important. The next two things I'm going to say. So put on your thinking caps the word of God is alive and parable of the Greek word here in Hebrews 412. The word is Lagos and you all know Lagos LNG OS refers to the written word of God. Amen. But if we go to Ephesians 617 Ephesians 617 which is part of the message on the whole armor of God.

It says, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Now we just read in Hebrews 412 the word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword.

Now I'm giving you.

Ephesians 617 the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Ephesians 617 word is not Lagos, it's Raima Rh DNA and what is Rhema don't make it something that your goal it simply means a spoken thing to speak something Mary had a Little Lamb whose fleece was white as snow. That's Rhema I just spoke it. But now let's bring it in conjunction with Hebrews 412 and what God's word is saying so in Hebrews 412 the written word is a sword in Ephesians 617 the spoken word is a sword.

They both refer to the word of God is soreness applied to soul and spirit delayed, as we found in Hebrews 412 it is more like a surgeon's capital. A surgeon's capital can do by asunder joints and marrow, here we read God's word like a surgeon's capital can dividing asunder of soul and spirit, amen. So God's in Hebrews 412 God is like the surgeon's capital I and we that we need the written word of God because that's where reading the written word of God and meditate on the right starts doing this circumcision in our heart heart starts getting convicted about something, although okay Lord and it's like circumcision.

You know they have to use that they have to use a bladed knife to circumcise a baby boy and what do they cut away the foreskin. Amen on the baby boy. They cut away the foreskin because that represents the flash and the things of the plastic and become contaminated.

Amen. And some of the Bible speaks all about the decision of the heart. God says you need to hide circumcise and what rate did not like it was more 12 tells us to go against my soul. Thought and intent and that the message unto itself.

Amen there are not many things that can reveal and expose our hearts, but the word of God, can we all have things in us that we are not even aware of what we maybe slightly aware of what we choose this push it down and hope it will go away but it doesn't go away. It grows so eventually we got to get it out. Amen.

And so the word of God, the written word is like a scalpel.

That sword is like a scalpel. But when the word of God is used as a weapon against our adversary.

It is not the written word.

It still Rhema the spoken word that the weapon that we have to use against our enemy. Amen.

The Rhema word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword, now we can all in our minds.

Imagine a sword with two blades. You've seen them.

Amen. You have seen with two blades, but I want to bring you the part of this message. That's the revelation, and this is one my favorite parts where it says to edged the Greek word is dice Thomas dice Thomas DIS TOMOS it's actually two words. The prefix die means to an*most means the math.

So what is that tell us the word of God is a two now weapon is sharper then to now sword.

One of those now is God's mouth hoses the other mouth mind that your math our lab. Amen. Now his mouth is when he speaks his word now is speak his word, and now when you speak his word. Amen.

You do by speaking the word of God is either one or all right here. Amen. Because when it comes against you and you feel by your what I used to do speak for myself to go in my bedroom position on the bed and just locked all my whole body was tense because if you hold your jewel shot will start hurting.

I didn't realize it sometimes when I had a headache and a neck gate because I realize I was always clenching my jaw because I was so overwhelmed with pain with a mental warfare with the spiritual warfare. I was just and I was always walking around like this and when something would get really overwhelming. I get in the bed in a fetal position, shut the door. The shades down there now. Do you think I won the victory. Do not know. I didn't the devil just beat me up a little bit more. Amen.

He used what I didn't know against me. It wasn't until God began to show me this… Open your mouth like I had spiritual lockjaw all but God was showing me you open your mouth and resist the enemy review the devil talk to the devil, he shouted in my mind. What if this happens, what if you never get better. What what what what what what is just like and it wasn't until I learned this word that God's word was the shark to mount sword of the Spirit, God had already done his part done his now I had to do my part. Amen. I had open my mouth and speak the word of.net. Here's how Rhema works the me tell you how it works your praying or meditating your reading the word of God. Maybe you're sitting like you're here this morning listening to the word of God, you could be writing your car. Listen on the radio or CD whatever but all of a sudden something leaps in your spirit. How many have felt that happen. I mean, you're just going along smoothly, but something leaps up in your spirit.

That is Rhema word that is when God takes word from the word and highlights it in your spirit. We all probably have Bibles.

It's got yellow marks and I have green, red, purple, yellow light, all kinds marks my Bible at home. My study verse amen my study Bible.

And so it's like… Yellow highlighter and highlight that in your spirit, and he says this word is for you. For right now for what you're facing at this time.

You know that Scripture rarely does God do something you don't know most of the time. You know something you already know. Amen. It's different than anyway. Before before thought about it before it becomes quite didn't like the Bible says and 50_induced presentation that is weary. That's what the Messiah said.

He said the learned.

Anyway your morning by morning, I learned that in doing things and that is where things want to get it does have you and you really and the Holy Spirit uses something that your reading your listening to any just set it on fire in your spirit and you take that thing and it just turns your whole thinking around it just like this. All of a sudden he got a whole new perspective. Amen. And then you begin to rise up in victory.

You know many of David's psalms start off rather pitifully. Sometimes he starts off in the Molly Grubbs. Amen. And you almost get down there with them.

When you start reading it.

But hang in there I tell you most always most always before you get to the last person that some things exalting God and praising God because God is spirit.

God quickens something, it is spirit that I know that because it's what he said many times, especially in Psalm 119. He said several times I would've perished in my affliction word quickens me know what can my spirit.

I think about it.

David didn't have the New Testament, David didn't even have the Psalms to read. He was still writing. Amen. That God was able to pick something that you can believe it, out of Genesis and Exodus and Leviticus and Numbers, and Deuteronomy God was able to take something out of Joshua Judges in the book of Joe that was the first book written and God was able to quickens something to David spirit that he was able to take the victory. It's when God speaks that word to your heart.

It becomes a Rhema word he pulled something out of the written word. The Lagos highlights in your spirit. Now it becomes the Rhema word when you speak it you can meditating on all day long, but when it rises up so strongly in you that you cannot contain it.

You know you meditating on and then the Scripture agrees to that room to write that down out God brings another scriptural weather all dovetailing now this is great this is really great, until finally it is like it's not let explode inside of you and you and declare it. Amen it becomes hard. God created the first blade when he spoke it to your spirit. But you gotta create the second blade when you speak it and Saints of God. That is the number one weapon that every Christian has in their arsenal.

It's the one weapon against which Satan has defense. There is no greater weapon in the two mount sword. It will cause him to flee every time I'm telling you that the enemy is not stronger than us is not greater than us is not more powerful than us.

The Bible that he that is in the world but he will. Joe Barajas if we don't speak what we know not stronger because we give them the advantage. Amen something supernatural happens when you speak what God has spoken, because you're coming into agreement with God. You can hear the Scriptures preached.

You can hear CDs you can do all of that.

But until you come into agreement with it you will not have the divine energy released in your life to bring the victory when you come into agreement with it set you speak it you have to express it with your voice. Amen.

One of my favorite verses is Hebrews 1023. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith, nothing wavering. For he is faithful, who has promised profession and other places, the same Greek word is rendered confession there interchangeable in the Bible confession profession.

I love the Greek word you're gonna love it to.

I'm not trying to overwhelm you with Greek words and give you the ones I think they're important and the ones I think recognize you recognize energy from Anna Gero so I think that'll help you remember next time you read that first God's word is energizing me now confession profession Greek word, loggia two words.

You all know what Homo means, not saying loggia is another form of Lagos what is Lagos. The word the written word. So when you confess you say the same thing. God's word says when you put fast you are saying the same thing that God is written in this word amen. And when you come into agreement with what God's word you said requires that you communicate only about salvation, but if it's everything confess with your mouth and you shall be saying so well, in agreement with his mother, salvation or healing or finances or any problem that you face demonic warfare had you know all these things.

It doesn't matter. You find God would about it and you, do agreement with it. Amen. After speaking with your mouth and when you do when you come into agreement and say the same thing that God says in his word that you you causes explosion that happened in the supernatural round. Jesus said if any, 201 N. would agree as touching anything, they shall ask, it shall be done unto you. Amen.

You got to come into agreement and we know that the Scripture tells us in Deuteronomy 3231 shall put a thousand to flight back to shall put thousand of flight.you see something supernatural once a thousand in 2000 and if we don't we have three and agreement of foreign agreement we get incorporated agreement shall not like it when a husband and wife learn how to pray and agree together because he knows that there are two they come in agreement and pray that they are going to have what they say if they're saying what God's word says I don't think I have to go down that road and explain it's gotta be what God's word says there are some flaky, flighty people don't think it's anything they say and come back and say why didn't it work because you gotta come in agreement with the written word. Amen when you come in agreement with the written word of God and you speak it becomes exponential, supernatural power is released, you may not see the results instantaneously control but if you could look in the spirit you look in the spiritual Lamb in this.the spiritual wickedness in that we are talking about Ephesians 610 and 11 and 12, you would see activity is happening.

Amen. And God will get to the place that he will let you know ahead of time. I'm glad that after I got a problem and I got a situation that God will come down and help me to get out of it, but I want to get smart enough in the spirit that I can hear his voice that when he wants me ahead of time that I had awakened that I can pick up time is when into action after 9/11 after the fact that government revolutionized everything but there was chatter before chatter and warnings before, but they did not pay attention and stop their eyes and prosperity because they it was so obvious. The plan, the plot and they pulled it off. Amen. Certain how the government is very sensitive to pick up on chatter before hand and hand, maybe it's benign and means nothing, but maybe it's a clue that can thwart an enemy terrorist plot. Amen. And if man has that kind of espionage intelligence technology. What do you think the Holy Spirit has some of the work is done.

I'm not going to stay on this point it would be another message but the thing of it is is in order for this.you say I love this and this is what I want.

Well, you gotta get done. The sword first become a scalpel and clean up on the inside. Amen your heart.

I truly believe this is my opinion that this is why the word of faith movement did not profit everybody.

It didn't work for everybody. Now some of you might say, what are you talking about back in the early 80s the word of faith was born.

There were churches all over America and they still are called the word of faith and everything was confess it.

Amen. And you know they begin to put out these little things like name and claimant things like that and then after a while when it wasn't working for everybody.

Some people got a little sarcastic and Sagal blabbing granite because they were saying it didn't work.

There's nothing wrong with God's word and there's nothing wrong with the fundamental principle that you can. God's word when he gives it to you and you can speak and it becomes a weapon against the enemy, but you have your heart right if your heart is not pure and clean that you are going on down in their amen.

If you're not living right. If you're not doing like if you're not the work.you are in your spirit calling you and am not calling you sooner. I'm just saying you got in their position as a condition to receive the written word of God and if anybody knows it.

Your adversary does. He watches you he watches me. Amen. An expert on human behavior. He's been busy watching us. Since many and even though we cannot read your mind. Thank you Jesus. I'm glad he can read my mind say why don't you don't go down the wrong road there sometimes. I had been double minded sometimes been battling doubt and fear and unbelief, but I was smart not to give it life by speaking it. I was smart enough not to open my mouth to begin this week all that negative stuff because the Scripture says in Romans 1017. Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing by the word of God, but I can slip it and tell you that so fear and unbelief done by hearing things in place by those boys. That was sent by hearing about what comes but if you get hundred negative things and even with your own mouth. You can sabotage yourself.

I've seen people do it all the time.

When I got news for me. Well I don't know this not I'm upset and I don't believe I got a letter sitting home is been sit on my desk for two weeks. I got answered the one answer that letter but I got two letters. I thought we could just say what we will know we are right give us a call. Those things are not as were they were just going.

I'm not saying this to disparage against anybody, but I have an indication that everything is not quite like she's in jail now you can be saved in jail. Maybe will get saved in jail, but chances are that whatever there's still here to be worked on. You can't just all of a sudden I call them things are not as they were like abracadabra debates about open on the walkout. Amen.

So you see the word of God be established first to do the work in your heart because you.it's not speaking a formula and that's when the word of faith movement. Many people got messed up.

They grabbed a formula and they were using the formula and then use it, and after a while, some when they did they did not get the results became discouraged. They really got to start and I'm I'm I'm telling the truth. Some of them and given up. They said it didn't work and they gave up in a backslidden that's a shame.

Amen. Is nothing wrong but what did Jesus say and I don't want to get ahead my suppositions next week. Application. But Jesus said if you will say and not down in your heart. You can have not gone your heart is one of the biggest keys of all. Amen it only works in a clean heart a pure heart. You can have some faith in some down. You can't have a lot of faith that it you've got to have faith and no doubt.

Amen, nothing wavering.

Amen. I really hope you're being blessed and spiritually enlightened by this teaching the spoken word series. This revelation was forged in my spirit during a time of prolonged suffering in my body, which triggered emotional and mental anguish. I had always had a strong spirit of faith.

But after being homebound and bedridden.

I despaired in my distress I thank God for a work to hold onto and he gave me. John 15 seven if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you will and it shall be done. Honestly, I was disappointed I wanted something more dramatic, but then I began to get this revelation of God spoken word and gradually as I put it into practice. I overcame the attacks of the adversary. The foundation is the creative word. The word of God literally spoke everything into existence. He framed the worlds and he upholds all things by the word of his power. The revelation is the authority that Jesus the word of God made flesh and dwelt amongst us had himself and gave to us to speak the word as a sharp two-edged sword against the enemy.

The literal Greek says to mouth to sword. One mouth is God's. And the second is mine or yours.

When we speak forth the word that God quickens to our spirits. This creates the one weapon against which Satan has no defense. Rhema is not a magical formula. It is the active living word of God. A word from the word that comes out of our mouth. The application is the illumination of Jesus own ministry by which he demonstrated faith in his own spoken word and its unlimited authority over time and distance when he sent his word and he healed them friends, I urge you to order the spoken word series.
