You know, we have to understand, brothers and sisters, that as long as we're on this earth and until Jesus returns, you and I have an enemy and his name is Satan. Speak the Word. It's time to Speak the Word with author, Bible teacher and evangelist Pastor Joanne Ramsey. Speak the Word Ministries is called to teach God's word and encourage the body of believers. 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 the power of God is in His Word. Speak the Word. You know, God said in His Word that he's given us the keys to the kingdom, but we have the key to the kingdom that will gain us access into kingdom things that once belongs to us. But also you need to know that your words gives access to the enemy to come in and destroy you. So you really need to be careful about what you're saying. And like I said before, weigh those words before you speak them. Until those words are spoken out of your mouth, they don't. You don't give birth to them, but once they come out of your mouth, you give them birth to them. So don't you want you to forget that. Like I said, it's God's word that's important, not mine, but God's Word. So I like to use, like to teach His Word because that's where the power is. If you're going to have power, got to know God's Word. As long as you continue to talk like you're going to have lack as long as you continue to confess. I can't do that. Or you keep talking failure, you're going to experience failure and you're going to experience lack. The same thing holds true for your health. You cannot continue to speak death and expect to be healthy. We have to come into agreement with God's Word. As a matter of fact, when you're praying, you know there's such thing as the prayer of agreement, you know. So if you're praying a prayer and you want somebody to come into agreement with you, the Bible says where to come together as agreeing upon anything he says it will be done. And so I'm just saying that when you come into agreement with God and His Word, that's going to be done too. Are you hearing me? Proverbs 18:21. I used to have this on my license plate down in North Carolina. It said, death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. As a matter of fact, my license plate now says Matthew 8:8, which is where he gave me the name for my ministry, Speak the Word Ministry. So you hear, if you've been listening to Pastor Joe on the radio, we're kind of worldwide there, Speak the Word ministry. But what you believe and what you speak not only affects your body, but your immune system as well. Your words will become either a blessing or they're going to become a curse to you. The Lord tells us that. He says before us both curses and blessings. He says, you choose. So we don't. You know, God's not choosing for you. You are choosing for you. You choose the blessings or you choose to curse. It's up to you. Remember when I said earlier, friends, about spirits that follow your words? There are spirits, evil spirits that follow your words and ride on them. And how the devil hears everything that you say. Well, the same hold truth. I want you to understand that the same thing holds true for God's Word. There is a spirit. When you're speaking God's Word, there is a spirit riding, you know, that's following those words. But it is the Spirit of God that's following it. It's the Spirit of God and his angels, you know, hearkening to your word to bring about what you say. According to Psalms 103, 20, and according to Jeremiah 1, chapter 1, verse 12, it says that God himself is performing His Word. As a matter of fact, the translation says that God is active, active and alert to perform His Word. So God is performing His Word when you. So when you speak God's Word, you're not performing that word when you're speaking prosperity or when you're speaking health. God is causing that. You know, he's creating that word, but you're getting those words out of your mouth. You're planting those seeds and God's going to come back and create those. He's going to cause them to grow. So where you are healthy or you don't feel well, you got a little bit of finance, you got a lot of. You have to speak what God says about it. Whether you got anything or not. If you didn't have but a dollar in your pocket, you still don't want to talk poverty. You still don't want to say, I can't afford it. Maybe you can't, but you don't have to say that. You can say, well, I'll get that, but I'll get that later, or use any words, but I can't, I can't. You know, you can say, I don't have that right now, but in the future I'll have that. Because your heavenly Father wants you more than you know, to live a healthy, prosperous life. In 3 John, chapter 1, verse 2, in Amplified Bible, he says, beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and that your body may keep well, even as I know your soul keeps well and prospers, praise God. However, that will never happen until you get control of your tongue. For you'll always be held captive by your tongue. You'll always be held in captivity. In Proverbs, chapter 13, verse 3, says, those who control their tongue will have a long life. Opening your mouth, on the other hand, can ruin everything. Selah, in other words. Think about that. Chew on those words a little bit. And it says in First Peter, as a matter of fact, when I was writing this, the Lord brought back To My Remembrance, First Peter, Chapter 3, Verse 10. In Amplified Bible it says, for let him talking about anybody, let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days, good, whether apparent or not, keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile, from treachery and deceit. So he's saying, if you want to enjoy life and see good days, whether it's apparent or not, in other words, where it looks like that or not, if you want to enjoy that, then you have to keep your tongue free from evil. And evil is saying anything that goes against what God's word says, anything that you say that does not line up with his word, that's considered evil, you're going to have to be like a David and you're going to have to bridle your tongue. David said you might want to write this down. In Psalms 141, verse 3, it says, Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips. The Lord has been teaching me for years, brothers and sisters, to change my way of thinking. And he has been teaching me to see things his way, to think his way. And I want you to know that I have not arrived by no means, for he's still teaching me today. As a matter of fact, he's teaching all of us. It tells us in Philippians chapter one, verse six, he that began a good work in me, he that began a good work in you, will continue to do so until the day of Christ Jesus. I know that it's hard to change the way you think. I know that firsthand. Because your minds have been pre programmed since birth. They've been programmed since day one to think like the world thinks. And it's going to take some work. It's going to take some effort on your part, but I'm confident that you can do it with the help of the Holy Spirit. Brothers and sisters, I would like to share with you that in order to live that good life that you want to live, you're going to have to recognize the seed coming out of your mouth. You're sowing a harvest, you're making a harvest there. If that's not what you want, then don't sow it anymore. If you don't want beans, don't put beans in the ground. If you want tomatoes, plant tomatoes. Don't plant beans. In other words, if you want to have a good life and have the finances to have the good life, then begin to speak what God says. If you want to be healthy, remember all the Scriptures in 1st Peter 2:24 and Matthew 8:17 and Isaiah 53:3 5. You know that Jesus bore our sickness, our pain, and he took our infirmities, and with his stripes we are healed. That you have a weapon, and it's the Word of God. I took out my weapon, the Word of God, and always began to speak it when I'm facing a mountain. The way I fight that battle is not with human thoughts. How I fight that battle is with the Word of God. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. It tells you that in Ephesians 6. The will of the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Speak the Word to your body, speak the Word to your mind. Speak the Word to every circumstance. That mountain can't stand and with that special Word, we've come to the end of our broadcast today with author, Bible teacher and speaker Pastor Joanne Ramsey here on Speak the Word.

Father, thank you that you have exalted above all else your name and your Word. You have provided us with your Word to teach and train and equip us to be completely prepared for any situation. I thank you Lord that your Word will equip us and transform us to handle anything that the enemy throws at us. I thank you that with the power of your Word we have been given the ability to overcome any and all circumstances. Thank you Jesus. Father, your Word says we have put limitations on you. So I pray, O Lord, that you will teach us that by speaking your Word and coming into agreement with your Word, all those limitations can be removed. You said, Lord, that you will help us to put our enemies under our feet. Just like you are making your enemies your footstools. Your Word says that you have raised us up together and made us to sit into heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And this is where we will sit. Praise God. This is where we will sit until Jesus makes our enemies our footstool. Hallelujah. I thank you, Lord, that though we walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive us. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of our enemies, and your right hand will save us. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. And amen from Pastor Joe and all of us at Speak the Word Ministries. We're glad you've joined us today once again. Thanks for listening. Join us next time on Speak the Word. Speak the word to every circumstance? That mountain can't stand? Against the word, the word of God? Against the word of God? G.
