Introduction

Good morning, dear brothers and sisters. It is always a joy to gather together in the house of the Lord, joined in spirit and in truth, united in our love for Christ and our desire to know Him more. Today, we are here to discuss a topic of great importance, a subject that touches every aspect of our lives, that influences our relationship with God and with each other. It is the power of our words, the significance of what we say, and how we say it.

Our words are not just sounds that we emit; they are a reflection of our thoughts, our beliefs, and our character. The Bible tells us that "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45). So, what does our speech say about our hearts? Are our words bringing life or death, encouragement or discouragement, peace or strife?

John Piper once said, "When the heart full of God's love can draw on the mind full of God's word, timely blessings flow from the mouth." How profound, how humbling, and how convicting. We are not just speaking into the air; we are speaking before God, the Creator of the universe, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords.

Mastery of the Mouth

Let's turn now to the Scripture passage for today. In Mark 11:22-25, Jesus says, "Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." And in Ezekiel 37:3-10, God tells the prophet Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones in the valley, and as he speaks the word of the Lord, the bones come together, flesh comes upon them, and breath enters them, and they live. [Read text.]

From these passages, we see the incredible power of words spoken in faith, words spoken according to God's will, words that bring life, restoration, and transformation.

Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we come before You today with humble hearts and open ears. We ask that You would speak to us through Your Word, that You would open our eyes to see the truth, and that You would open our hearts to receive it. Help us to understand the power of our words and to use them wisely, for Your glory and for the good of those around us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Today, we will discuss three main points: Mastery of the Mouth, Manifestation through the Mouth, and Miracles from the Mouth. As we delve into these topics, may we be reminded of the power that lies in our words. May we be challenged and convicted, encouraged and inspired. And above all, may we be changed, transformed by the renewing of our minds, becoming more like Christ in our speech and in our actions.

Manifestation through the Mouth

As we continue to reflect on the words of Jesus, we realize that the words we speak, especially those uttered in faith and in alignment with God's will, have the potential to bring about significant changes in our lives and in the world around us ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
