Power of our Words!
Last week was my second message on my “Words of Faith” series. It was based on James 3:3-12. Watch this clip. Dr. Masary Emoto is not a Christian and yet he understands this concept. The movie is pretty self explanatory so enjoy!
Donevan Impact Feb 5th
Posted by Phil Jean on Feb 5, 2009 in Donevan High School
Today we had our first Impact at Donevan High school since the exams last week. We started the second session of a series called I AM Getting To Know God. Today’s session was about “When Bad Things Happen”. It consisted of someone sharing a testimony about how her mom was diagnosed with cancer and quickly got ill and soon after died. The young girl sharing the story is talking about how she got angry with God but rather then to run away with the anger, she ran to God with it! we had really good conversations after. one of the questions in the lesson was “If God is such a loving God then why do you think there is suffering?” It was really cool to hear what everyone thought. I challenged my gorup by asking them to ponder on this statement, “Without suffering, there is no compassion.” I told them it was like there would be no need for food if there was no hunger. The fact is that this is the land of the dying. We are not meant to stay here but to move on to Heaven where there IS no pain, sickness and death. We have to make sure that our hope is in whats to come and not in earthly things such as relationships, wealth etc…
Words Of Faith in Action
I find it amazing that God is like He is! I mean, like I previously mentioned, I just started a new series on the power of your words and it just so happens that God makes me practice what I preach. For the last 3 days now (starting on Tuesday) I’ve been having this pain in my bowels. I went to the doctors and got a bunch of tests done and they can’t give me a straight answer to what it is. Now the Doctor has told me that he thinks it’s a stomach flu which WOULD affect my bowels. The reality is that God started to speak to me. He asked me, in a reminding tone, what was I starting to preach about and so He told me, well start to act what you preach! Sure enough, all I needed to do was to speak over it and I’m doing a lot better now!
Words Of Faith Series
I started a Series called the Words of Faith last Friday and i have already heard lots of awesome responses. The thing is that everything we say every day affects the outcomes of our lives. The best scripture to support this thing is found in Matthew 12:35-37 “35 A good man produces good things from his storeroom of good, and an evil man produces evil things from his storeroom of evil. 36 I tell you that on the day of judgment people will have to account for every careless word they speak. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Tell you what, to know that by my own words I will be condemned, it really makes me want to think twice about what i am going to speak over my self and other people and about what kind of speeches come out of my mouth! Always remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue! (proverbs 18:21)
