Speak the Word Ministries is based on Matthew 8:8 where the Centurion asked Jesus to Speak the Word. Speak the wor. Speak the Word. God's Word. Speak. Speak. Speak God's Word. We invite you to visit us online at speakthewordministry.net that's speakthewordministry.net and now here's Pastor Joe continuing her message titled One More Night with the Frogs. Speak the Word According to God's Word. All you need is the faith of a mustard seed. And you know the Bible says it's the smallest seed there is. But yet when it's planted and it grows, it grows into a huge tree. Even you know where the birds come and nest. But you would not think so with a little bitty seed like that. But God is telling to you, brothers and sisters, that all you need to move that mountain or those circumstances or situation out of your way and out of your path. Whether it's sickness in your body or financial whatever it is, he said, all you need is just a little bit of seed. He says, a mustard seed of faith. That's all you need. He says in Matthew 17:20, Jesus was telling his disciples that if they had the faith of a mustard seed, he says, nothing will be impossible for you. In Matthew 17:20 and again in Luke 17:6 it said the Word says you can move the mountains with just a little bit of fai. God said, according to God's word. All you need is the faith of a mustard seed. And that's what I was, you know, referring to, is just a little tiny seed, but yet when it grows, it grows really large. It becomes really huge. And even birds, you know, nest in it according to the Word. In other words, these verses, what they're doing is they're highlighting the power of even just a tiny bit of Faith. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus was telling his disciples, if they had the faith of a mustard seed, he said, nothing will be impossible for you. Well, that's one thing that we really have to get a revelation of. A lot of people think that their increase and victory is dependent on their job or the banks or whatever somebody else can do. But we have to understand that we have to know that God's blessings are not. Are not dependent on the world's economy. That is so important to recognize that God is your source. God only. And not only does he want to bless you, but he wants the world, you know, not only does God want to bless me and you, he wants the world to know about Him. He wants the world to see about his goodness and how he blesses us. And he tells us this in Psalms 31:19 in the New living translation. He says, how great is the goodness that you have stored up for those who fear you. He says, you lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before watching the world. Thank you, Jesus. Remember, it was not God who made Pharaoh wait another day. That was Pharaoh's decision. Don't you ever forget that. And it is your decision, brothers and sisters. It is your decision to take God at his word. Because you have to understand that God's Word works. It works every time. Not just sometimes. As a matter of fact, I'm a walking witness and testimony to the goodness of God. And know that God's Word, it really works, you know? And not one of them according to His Word is going to fail. And so, like I said, Moses said to Pharaoh, he said, you set the time. Tell me when you want me to pray for your officials and your people. Moses says, and then you and your houses will be rid of the frogs. He said, they will remain only in the Nile River. And of course, in verse 10, it says, do it tomorrow. That that was Pharaoh's answer, that that's what he told Moses. So you have to know, friends, that nothing, nothing is hopeless with God, you know, and what like I've said before, According to Luke 18:27, when what is impossible with men is possible with God, and you don't have to wait until tomorrow. You don't have to wait any longer. You don't have to wait one minute longer. It says, for he is the God that calls those things that be not. He said even the dead things. He said even the dead things. Praise the Lord. He tells us this in Romans 4:17. And this is what the Scriptures, when God told Abraham, he said, I have made you a father of many nations. Abraham believed that even though he was 100 years old and Sarah was in her 90s, he still believed. And verse 20 says he never doubted that. Abraham never doubted that God would do what he promised. He never stopped believing. In fact, it says he grew stronger in faith, just praised God. And verse 21 says Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he promised. This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing. You know, we have to be there. We have to do that. And he says that in Romans 4, verse 18. It said, Even when there was no reason to hope, Abraham kept hoping. You know, there were so many times, brothers and sisters, that I thought that way back years ago, and sometimes even now, too. But especially then, you know, you're all alone. You're believing God to do certain things, and he's telling you this, and you're not seeing any results, you know. And, you know, every day, you know, I'm getting up and going to work. I'm praying, I'm reading the Word, I'm trusting God. And I didn't see a lot of results then. I remember when I think back, that he was making changes. They were doing small changes. I just didn't recognize him at first. But he was making small changes over the years, over the last, well, I don't know, 20 years or whatever, 15, 20 years that he has done just tremendous, tremendous things in my life and my children's lives. And it's just hard. It's hard to even imagine. But it said here that even though he had no reason to hope, it said Abraham kept hoping and Abraham kept believing that he would become the father of many nations. And as I said before, I kept believing, too, that I will get back what Satan stole from me. And I have. And you can, too. No matter what it looks like in the natural. You just have to be like Abraham. You've got to keep on believing. And like I said before, I'm a walking witness to God's faithfulness. Abraham was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. And as I said earlier, and that is where we have to be. We have to be fully convinced like Abraham did in Romans 4. In spite of what things look like in the natural. In the natural, things always, you know, can look really bad. But you have to be convinced. You have to be convinced that our God, the God that you serve, is more than able to do what he said he would do. He is Jehovah Jireh, the God that provides. Hallelujah. Remember that God has not changed. He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore, according to Hebrews 4, 13, 8. But also God says in Malachi, I think it's Malachi 3 that he changes. Not so, he hasn't changed. You know, I know that there is a difference between the old covenant and the new covenant that we have now with the grace and stuff that we didn't have in the old covenant. But God is still the same God. I mean, we're not. Well, it's different since Jesus has come and Jesus has died and gave his life to set us free. And so we have salvation. We have things that they didn't have in the old covenant. These were things that they were looking forward to that they never got to see, but we did, you know? And you also have to know that God is available. He's always available to help you, to free you from any kind of stronghold. Our Father, he never sleeps and he doesn't slumber.
