Our words can affect us positivity or negatively, we should line up our words with what God says about us, don’t complain if you want to experience God’s goodness in your life.
i’ve kind of learned by experience that
i can increase or decrease my own joy
just by how i talk
anybody agree with that you can
you can just talk yourself into being
miserable
or you can actually
help yourself and make yourself better
now we were talking at the break about
how sad it is
that so many people know so little
about
the power of words
and how their words not only affect the
people around them
but how they affect
themselves and also how our words affect
our future
i believe
that we can kill god’s good plan for our
life just by continual wrong
talking now we all say things that are
wrong and thank god for mercy and
and he covers us in our mistakes and we
can be forgiven
but
to just be a negative person
who always finds the fault and the flaw
in everything
and always finds what’s wrong with
people
i mean it’s going to leave you very sour
and unhappy
and it’s going to really hurt your
future now i’m just going to assume that
nobody here is like that
but we’re just going to call this like
an insurance policy today
i just want to preach this message just
in case you ever would be tempted to be
like that
that maybe you’d remember this and i was
not kidding when i said i was going to
preach to myself
you know i am a talker
and the more people talk the more likely
they are to get into trouble
sometimes i’m just jealous of those nice
quiet people
now i don’t know what’s going on inside
them
and that can also be a huge problem but
god has to deal with me
frequently
about my words
and i’ve come a long way
but i’ll tell you one thing that i never
want to be
is so satisfied to the point where i
don’t think that i need to change
anymore
now
anytime that god shows me a fault or a
flaw in my life
it does not condemn me
and i want to encourage you when god
shows you things that are wrong in your
life or your behavior or when he
chastises you for something do not let
it condemn you
conviction from the holy spirit
is a totally different thing than
condemnation from satan
and a lot of times what we do is when
the holy spirit convicts us which is a
good and a positive thing and the bible
says that god chastises those whom he
loves
when god shows us that we should not do
something
or that something we’re doing is wrong
it’s actually an act of his love thank
god he won’t just leave you alone in
your mess
and let you stay the same the worst
thing that god could ever do would be
just never convict us again and just
leave us alone and let us
stay the way that we are
but it’s a big mistake when the holy
spirit convicts you to then get
condemned because the moment that you
get condemned you hinder yourself from
any kind of change or spiritual growth
so anything i say today is not under
condemnation
when god deals with me about things like
this
i just take it like well
i must need this
and there’s some areas in our life
that we will have to hear
over and over and over and over
until jesus comes back to get us
and one of those things is our mind
another one is the mouth
and another one is attitude
come on you better get a little happier
than that
there’s nobody in this building today
that doesn’t need this
nobody
god’s been dealing with me
again about my words
and i’m glad that he does because
no man can tame the tongue we constantly
need god’s help
and i don’t know about you but just i
said this this morning but i think if i
could ever just get through one whole
entire day without complaining at all it
would be a miracle equivalent to the
parting of the red sea
it is amazing how blessed we are
and how much we find
to murmur about
and it is
really complaining is a sin
i mean it’s not just an
oops it i mean it’s actually the bible
says it’s a sin and if you really study
the bible and this actually put the fear
of god in me
if you really study the bible you’ll
find out that one of the things that
kept the israelites out in the
wilderness for 40 years trying to make
an 11 day journey was they murmured and
grumbled and complained about everything
you know the word complain means to
remain
so the more we complain about something
the longer we’re going to stay in that
situation the more we praise god the
quicker we’re going to get raised out of
that situation and be delivered
[Applause]
and i might add that the place to start
praising god and being thankful is when
you’re still in the middle of your mess
i’ve noticed that jonah
if you read the
the book of jonah
in the amplified bible
it says that he started to praise god
while he was still in the fish’s belly
and i liked that so his bad attitude got
him in that situation
but then the thing that got him out was
he started praising god while he was
still in the situation
and god caused the fish to vomit him out
and he
he got free from the situation so
whatever you’re going through right now
ask god every day
god help me not to complain about my
situation
help me to find something to be thankful
for
help me find
a reason to praise you and you know when
you’re in relationship with people it is
so easy i am so good at finding flaws
oh my gosh if there’s one there i’ll see
it
do i is anybody else like that are you
one of those sweet people that just like
oh i didn’t notice that well honey i
notice everything
i mean how many of you are like that you
just if it’s there you’re gonna find it
you don’t have to you know
i mean dave he just likes everybody
you know that i mean i can honestly tell
you that in 50 years of being married to
him i think i’ve heard him say two times
in 50 years that he didn’t like somebody
dave
[Applause]
we’re so happy for you
[Applause]
and you know to be honest i’m sure one
of the reasons why the enemy
does that to me is because of what i’m
doing and how important it is that i
walk in love and i have the right
attitude toward people because let me
tell you something we all need god’s
anointing and that’s his presence and
power in our lives you don’t just need
an anointing to preach you need an
anointing to drive in traffic and get to
work
these days you certainly need an
anointing to raise kids and i believe
that god’s anointing his presence and
his power in our life is partially in
part connected to the words of our mouth
and i just think it’s
a pitiful shame
how little people know about this area
you can be in church 30 years and never
hear a message like i’m going to preach
to you today
i was in church for years and i never
heard anybody say anything to me about
the words of my mouth
nobody talked to me about stuff like
that and maybe there’s even people here
this afternoon that you’re like this is
the first for me
well maybe not but maybe it is
and the thing is
words are containers for power
in the very beginning
god said
and it happened
now just like this glass has got some
sparkling water in it
it’s my glass and i could put anything
on it that i wanted to in it that i
wanted to i could fill it full of mud if
i wanted to
well our words
our words
are containers for power
and they can carry
positive power
that can add benefit to all the people
around us and add benefit to our life or
they can carry negative power
that harm us
and hurt us
and so i can’t think of any message is
more important to hear every once in a
while than this one right here
because the mouth literally is like a
wild animal
no man can tame the tongue the bible
says it is just like
a
a wicked evil that starts all kinds of
fires and it i mean you can ruin
relationships with words
you can get yourself fired from a good
job with words
you can depress yourself with words
you can make yourself happy with words
the israelites murmured and grumbled and
complained
and the bible says that eventually
they let a plague into the camp and 23
000 of them fell dead in one day just
because of complaining now i’m not
saying if you complain you’re going to
fall over dead that’s not what i’m
saying
thank god for that but i do believe as
good as god is to us that one of the
last things in the world that we should
do
is complain and murmur does anybody have
a problem with complaining besides me
