We weren't meant to do it on our own. But the Lord has given you a weapon like no other. His Word. Speak the Word. This is Speak the Word with author, Bible teacher and evangelist Pastor Joanne Ramsey. The mission of Speak the Word Ministries is to teach you that there is power in the spoken word of God. Speak the Word. 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 wrapping up her message titled One More Night with the Frogs. Speak the Word. 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 in 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 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. As I was reading in a message, I think the other day, I was in a message, I think it was Isaiah 65:1, where God was saying that he was waiting for the people to call upon him, but nobody ever called upon him and nobody ever asked him for advice. You know, in other words, he was saying that they were just out there doing things on their own and they weren't asking God for anything. And he says, he who keeps you will not slumber. When we look to the Lord, we have confidence in the fact that God does not sleep. And the idea is repeated here in Psalms 121:4 says, God's watchful eye is always open, looking with love and care, he said upon his people. You know, we have to understand one thing if we don't understand anything else. Satan is a bully, and the only thing a bully responds to is brute force. And we have to understand that the Holy Spirit will provide that brute force. He will provide what we need. Remember what it tells us in Matthew 11:12. It says, from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence and the violent. He says, take it by force. When God sent Moses to deliver the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt, God promised to show his wonders as confirmation of Moses authority. Brothers and sisters, God has made promises to you. He's made promises to me. And he's also given us the authority to receive these promises. We have been given power and authority here on this earth to be able to speak to our situations, be able to speak to our mountains, be to able. All his promises. He says all his promises are in Him. Yes, and amen. According to 2 Corinthians 1:20. Saints, you need to realize that whatever that thing is in your life that you thought was dead and you thought was hopeless, it's not hopeless. Whether it's a situation with your health or your finances, as I said before, I want you to get a revelation today that God can resurrect anything. And there is nothing that God can't resurrect As a matter of fact, we've witnessed that. But that's the way he does it. He does it with His Word. And let me repeat that. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that God cannot resurrect. You know, even in the New Testament, when Jesus was walking around, there were people that he spoke to. Lazarus was one and the young girl was another and another lady's son that had died. They were all brought back to life. He resurrected the dead. And I know people personally that have, through the help of the Holy Spirit and Jesus living in them. It wasn't them doing it with Jesus in them, raising people back from the dead. So it is possible, you know, and like I said, it's not them doing it. It's not me doing it. It's him in me. It's him in them that's doing it. I don't take any credit for that. And so I want you to get that revelation and the way he does it, like I said, he does it with His Word. And there is nothing, and I mean nothing, as I said before, that God cannot resurrect. I mean, maybe there's, you need your marriage resurrected, maybe you need a relationship with your children resurrected. You know, there's things that need to be resurrected that are not necessarily somebody that's died. You know, you can think situation is dead on your job or in your marriage or your relationship or with your children, but nothing's impossible for God. And that, that's the whole point. That's what I was talking about with Pharaoh and with Moses. You know, he believed, I mean, Abraham, he believed in spite of everything it says he. Even though there was no reason for him to hope. There was no reason. Maybe you don't feel like today that there's a reason for you to hope, but there is a reason for you to hope because it's not hopeless. You're not hopeless. You are born again, child of God, spirit filled. And he loves you and he watches over you night and day. As I've said before, he never sleeps and he never slumbers, but he's watching over you all the time. So I want you to remember that. Also know that it's not over. It's not over, brothers and sisters, until God says it's over. Hallelujah. I hope you're hearing me by taking God's word and speaking it over your circumstances or directing his word at your mountain. You know, and Jesus showed us how to do this. You know, when we read the Word of God, you know, it demonstrates to us, it gives us instructions on how to do things. And so in Mark 11:20, 23, Jesus was showing us how we can speak to our mountain. You know, it was same way that he used the fig tree as an example. He said when he spoke to the fig tree, Jesus curses the fig tree and it dries up. And then he says to his disciples, have faith in God. And that's what I'm telling you today, brothers and sisters. I'm telling you that no matter what your situation looks like, regardless of what it is, your health, your finances, it is not hopeless. It is not hopeless. God can resurrect it. But I want you to know that speaking is how. Speaking is your mouth. You've got to activate your faith through your mouth. It is. Speaking is how you're going to bring those dead things back to life or speak death over them. Some things you want to speak death over, and there are some things you want to bring back to life by speaking and agreeing with his word. Praise the Lord. You have to stop. Please remember this. You have to stop letting the devil keep sickness on your body. And you have to stop him from stealing your money. You're going to have to use your tongue and cut him into ribbons. And that's what you're going to do when you start speaking God's word. You're going to cut him into ribbons. And you know, and don't forget that. And I pray today that the words that the Lord has spoken through me, through the Holy Spirit, that He has spoken something that uplifted you and encouraged you. Speak the word to your body. Speak the word to your mind. Speak the word to every circumstance that mountain can't stand. You've been listening to author, Bible teacher and evangelist Pastor Joanne Ramsey here on Speak the Word.

Father, I thank you for all that you have done for us and all that you're still doing. I thank you for all the plans that you have for all of us. Plans to prosper us and not to harm us. But you Lord have plans to give us hope and a future. Lord, we know from based on your word that Pharaoh did not have to wait another day for those wet, slimy frogs to leave his house, that you were willing to take them away right then and all he had to do was ask. But because of his stubbornness, the frog stayed. O Lord, we have been stubborn too and not trusting you to fight our battles for us. Please forgive us. Help us to understand that it is never too late to for you to help us. Help us, O Lord, to trust in your word more and know that your Word tells us how you have given us everything we need to stand up against our enemy Satan, that the answer is in our mouths. Our miracle is incumbent into agreement with your Word and exercising our authority by speaking what you say. I make a decision today to put my faith in your Word, the Word that has never failed and the one who has never let me down and no longer put my faith in worldly things. In the name of Jesus, I pray Amen and Amen from Pastor Joe and all of us at Speak the Word Ministries. We're glad you've been with us today. Join us next time here on Speak the Word.
