Hearing To Speak
Read John 14:10, 24, 26

The most vital issue in the life of a Christian is to hear from God. Why is it so vital to hear God? It is vital because God created us as His vessels to speak His Word into His creation. It is vital for you hear from God that is how you get wisdom. God created Adam with the ability to hear God’s voice and he gave him the ability to speak it. Adam was God’s representative in the earth to speak His Word to His creation and to bring it into order. Because Adam ate from the tree of knowledge man began to speak independently from the voice of God, which was not in His plan.

We need to have a hearing heart because unless we hear from God we will be stuck where we are the rest of our lives. Success comes by hearing God's voice on an everyday continuing basis. We have to be spending time with someone in order to recognize and hear their voice, it is the same with God. Our pastor tells us that one of our fellow members (Ray Wilson) reminded him that God gave Adam the command to keep the garden, yet he gave him no tools. I asked Ray and he said he believed that he would keep the garden by speaking the words of God to it. He pruned it by the words of God. How do we do this? By spending time in reading the Bible and in prayer and you will be able to hear him. Once you hear him, take that word and speak it into your life. We must speak the words of God to the lifeless and unproductive things around us. We must speak life and death to what God speaks too. When we speak God's own words over our circumstances and over our lives we are diligently depositing in our hearts building materials to construct our lives. The Word itself contains the power to produce what it says. Just as when God said, “Let there be light” and there was light, healing Scriptures contain within them the capacity to produce healing.

The word of God is alive and powerful. God created the world and the universe by SPEAKING. Be consistent and God will make a way for his own words to be carried out in your life. Just remember to stay in the Bible and really get to know God and hear his voice and his words he speaks to you. We should deposit these things and sow these things into our lives by our "Eye gate", "Ear gate", and by our "Mouth gate". What we sow is made of material we can't naturally see, it is invisible. God uses the invisible things to build the visible things into our lives.

Speaking From Experience
Read John 3:11-14

Jesus said, "You're a respected teacher of Israel and you don't know these basics? Listen carefully. I'm speaking sober truth to you. I speak only of what I know by experience; I give witness only to what I have seen with my own eyes. There is nothing secondhand here, no hearsay. Yet instead of facing the evidence and accepting it, you procrastinate with questions. If I tell you things that are plain as the hand before your face and you don't believe me, what use is there in telling you of things you can't see, the things of God? "No one has ever gone up into the presence of God except the One who came down from that Presence, the Son of Man. (The Message)

Jesus our example spoke the word of God into the earth He is the word made flesh. Jesus spoke and did what he heard and saw in the heavens. We much like Nicodemus focus on what is happening here, but Jesus focused on what was happening in the heavens. Jesus spoke of what He knew and what He had seen. We cannot speak until we hear and see it. This is why it is so important that we learn how to hear God’s voice. If we are not focused on Him and quieting ourselves to hear from Him, then we cannot be effective as representatives of Him. We cannot represent or speak of things that we have not experienced.

Are you speaking from experience?

When The Tongue Speaks
Read Proverbs 18:21;

The tongue is a very useful tool in our bodies which was designed to aid us in many ways, such as in eating, fighting sickness, and speaking. However, in the spiritual sense, the tongue can be a blessing or a very dangerous weapon. According to the bible, the tongue can build-up and bring healing or tear-down and bring destruction. It can cause strife and pain and it can bless or curse. It is the key to open the heavens in praise, worship and prayer or the key to open the gates of hell and build strongholds, put out curses, and brings oppression, sickness and disease of the mind, body, and spirit. It can be the most powerful weapon used, especially among Christians, to separate and divide God's children within the Kingdom of God.

The Lord blesses us with many gifts. Some individuals are blessed with the gift of speech and prophesy and when led by the Holy Spirit, will use their gift to edify the body of Christ. Yet others, who are ruled by their sinful flesh (envy, jealousy, anger, pride, idolatry, etc.) and fail to walk in the light, will use it to tear down and hurt their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and will open doors and allow access to religious spirits to work in them. The influence of this spirit will exploit that person's weakness to lash out at others while covering-up their ill-intent with scriptures. This behavior is not of God! No matter how one coats their words or message with biblical scriptures, their hurtful words go against all of God's teachings and commandments. We are to encourage others and we are to walk in love of others. We are to activate others by what we say not deactivate them. We need to speak to peoples divine purpose, we need to speak God’s word to them, when we do this we activate them.

Speak The Word
Read Romans 8:22-27
It's vital to speak God's Word. Find yourHis voice! Every day wake up and speak God's word - not your own words- to the circumstances of your life. One vital key to speaking God’s word is hearing His voice; if you are not hearing His voice then you cannot speak life changing words over yourself. If you are not hearing His voice there could be several reasons as to why. Things that block hearing from God are unbelief and an undeveloped spirit. To believe you simply make a choice and a decision that you will stand firm on and believe it no matter what. To develop your spirit you need to read and meditate daily on the word of God, the Bible. You need to obey the word and pray and listen for God's voice in your life. To Hear we need to expect to hear and we need to balance and confirm what we hear with the teachings of the word of God. Unbelief is sin. If God said it, we should believe it. He says that the Spirit of Truth will guide us and tell us things so we must believe that. He says he will teach me and profit me and I believe it. One word from God can change our circumstances in life; he has a million ways of how to work things out that we cannot even see.

Sometimes when we speak the word of God over our lives we are speaking what is not as though it were already. This is done in faith. We know God's word to be true and instead of saying "I am sick today." we can say "I know God said to ask him and it will be given so I asked for healing and have it coming to me as I speak this now." Learn to hear God’s voice so you can speak His word.

Nothing To Speak
Read John 15: 5

I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon. This is how my Father shows who he is—when you produce grapes, when you mature as my disciples. John 15:5 (The Message)

Pastor said he woke up one morning hearing the words you can do nothing without me. Without Him we have nothing to say that is any benefit to the world around us. We often forget that this thing is bigger than us. When we are asked to speak about the things of God and we speak out from our own mind, we have nothing to speak about. When we forget to invite the Holy Spirit to speak through us then we you will speak about nothing. Without the Holy Spirit our words can’t help anyone because they are our words and not God’s It’s never to be about us or what we think but it’s always about Jesus and what He is saying. His words are powerful and meaningful. Our words are empty without the Holy Spirit.

Are you speaking empty words or are you speaking the words of He who is the “I AM”?

Speak To The Impossibilities
Read Matthew 17:20; 21:21

What is a mountain in a believer's life? The mountain is the problem in your life. A mountain is anything that is a barrier to you completing God's Will. A mountain is anything that is slowing down or impeding your progress in the Kingdom of God. Many believers spend time praying to God about their mountain. They describe the mountain in full detail to God. They inform God of the exact dimensions of the mountain. They cry and moan to God about what a hindrance or impossibility the mountain is in their life. Some people even use the "mountain" as an excuse for nonperformance in their Christian life. Some people make up doctrines and traditions about God, to justify why the mountain is still in their life. Many believers will pray to God for Him to speak to their mountain. God will never do what he has commanded you to do. You pray to God to receive what Jesus has made available to you. It is your responsibility to speak to the mountain in your life.

Praying and fasting will not move a mountain. Prayer and fasting deals with unbelief and/or lack of confidence in God's Word. Many people get into natural unbelief by what they see, hear, touch, smell, taste or even feel. You must not allow natural unbelief to be a counter weight to faith. Your spirit man must not be dominated by your un-regenerated fallen flesh. You must sow to the Spirit and reap life. Prayer is about your relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Prayer will increase your confidence about your relationship with God. Prayer is how you receive from God. Prayer and fasting will move you into a more confident [faithful] position to speak to the mountain. Jesus didn't tell us to pray to God about our mountain. He said for us to speak to the mountain; speak to the mountain in His Name. Jesus didn't tell us to ignore or deny the mountain or problem. We are not to say, "I don't have a mountain" or "what problem?" We are not to practice positive thinking and say over and over; "I can climb over that mountain, I will go around that mountain, it want stop me". A positive attitude is always good. But a positive attitude is not what Jesus said to do with mountains. Jesus said to speak to the mountain or problem and tell it to be moved. Jesus said that any believer can tell a mountain, "You be lifted up and thrown into the sea", or "Go, throw yourself into the sea", or "Go jump in the lake -no shuffling or shilly-shallying-and it's as good as done". Jesus says, "if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you". A believer [not a doubter], can say to the mountain [problem] be moved to some other dimension that I don't inhabit. Speak to the impossibilities
