Frame Our World
9/20/2015
We can decree it and it shall be so. It talks about decreeing a thing. It shall be so. Establishing that thing in the Earth so what happens is that we are commanding communicators. Today we are going to be talking about that. Say this, ” I am a commanding communicator.
Now what does that mean? If we go to the book of Samuel when Hannah didn’t have a child and she went to the temple and prayed and asked God to open her womb so that she could have a child (because in the Old Testament when a woman could not have a child, she was under reproach), because every man wanted to have a son. He wanted to have a daughter and he wanted to have a family. He wanted a family to be able to carry out his Legacy. Because his legacy was his name. Every man wanted a son. She wanted to give her husband a son.
She didn’t have any children. Her womb was bound and closed she prayed in the chapel. Eli saw her, and he thought that she was drunk but she did not get offended when he said, ” You are a drunkard.” She prayed, and her lips moved. He said, ” You are going to have a child. You are going to have a child.” When she had the child, she said that she would lend the child to the Lord if he gave her that child. Just like Eli, the man of God had said, she had a child. The child’s name was Samuel. She lent him to the Lord. She kept him until he was weaned. She brought him to the temple and gave him to the man of God. She said,” I’m giving this child to the Lord like I kept my promise.” The Bible says that even Eli was so in tuned what the word of God that when he spoke God will not let any of his words fall to the ground.
Isn’t that powerful guess what? In the Old Testament that was allowed. The Bible says we have a better Covenant through Jesus Christ. Those people were spiritually dead. Their sins were forgiven and were imputed to into righteousness. They were looking into the future Jesus came back. Abraham was declared righteous because of his face in Jesus Christ in the future. They were spiritually dead. We have a better Covenant. Why? Because Jesus Christ lives big on the inside of us. We don’t have to wait until the spirit of God comes upon us. The spirit of God is resonated on the inside of us. We have a better Covenant with better promises. Because of that we are commanding communicators. When God wanted a world in Genesis he created the world because he had a thought in his mind that he wanted a world to be inhabited, with people made in His image.
He caused that to happen because he spoke. He had an idea. He had a thought. He spoke it into existence. He said, light be!” it appeared. If you go to Genesis 1 you will find out there’s a bridge between the time that God created the Earth and when Darkness appeared upon the face of the Earth. We are not going to get into all of that today, but basically, Satan was cast out from heaven. He tried to destroy the Earth. He tried to destroy gods plan. God called those things that be not as though they were. He spoke that light be he created the Earth inhabited by men. When God framed the world, it was by the words that he spoke. Let’s turn to Hebrews the 11th chapter. We’re going to see how God framed the world.
We are commanding communicators when Jesus died on the cross he said it was finished when Jesus died on the cross he said that it was finished. But he told his disciples before he left expedient before I go away because go away the comforter will not come. He left us in charge. We are commanding communicators. Adam lost Dominion to the world when he said. Jesus came and brought that Dominion back and he gave it to us. God is depending on his plan of salvation. And restoration to the world shall be carried out through us.
God could have made loudspeakers Come from Heaven saying,” I am the Lord thy God Almighty. Serve me or you go to hell.” or he could have dispatched angels to go out and preach the gospel. But that’s is not his plan. His plan is that we that are saved have tasted of his goodness I have tasted of his salvation so that will go and tell someone else about it. And that is God’s Plan of Redemption. In the kingdom of God, it works by multiplication. In the kingdom of darkness, it works by division.
The devil’s modus operandi is 2 steal, kill, and destroy. Everything he touches dies. There is death and destruction. In the kingdom of God there is life. Jesus said I come that you may have life and have it more abundantly. Let’s go to Hebrews XI chapter how God framed the Earth. The Bible says that Jesus Christ made the add without him nothing was made. In the third verse, it says that by faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the words of God, so that things which are seen would be made right which do appear.
God spoke the word. He framed the world and brought it into exist. Existence by his word. Guess what have any new tricks. He is a defeated foe. You say that greater is he that is in me Jesus than he that is in the world, slew foot. So, we have more power. You need to say you have more power than the devil. In fact, is a defeated foe. Already lost. He’s like a toothless lion. He’s like a dog without a tooth. But all he has is a bark. He’s just got a roar. He can’t bite you. It’s just like the shadow of death in Psalms 23.
Has a shadow ever killed anybody period no it’s just a shadow. But he’s like a bully. Challenge of bully, he will fold. He will back down. The Devil is a tyrant. He will try to make you think that he has Authority. He has no Authority over a child of God. Do you know where the devil has victory that call the name of Christ? It’s because they give it to him. We give the devil authority over our lives when we are supposed to be more than conquerors. Do you know how we give him that Authority.? We start saying the facts of the realities of our life. The Bible says that many afflictions of the righteous Avail much. If that was all we can just can have a pity party until Jesus comes back. But it didn’t end there.
He Jesus delivers us out of them all. Out of all the trials
and tribulation come to us. We do a disservice to a new send that comes to Christ when we tell them to come to Jesus I have no problems. When you come to Jesus all hell is going to break out. You were in the kingdom of darkness and now you are in the kingdom of God period you have been translated the kingdom of God. THE devil is mad and does not want you to be free. He is going to try to take you out. He is going to try to keep you from fruitful where you will bear the fruit. So, he will try to trip you up and trap you up. He will try to set you down. He has no power over a child of God when we know who we are. Would we do is that we must give him the dominion over us. How do we do that? By the stuff that comes out of our mouths. We say things like, “well, I applied for that job, but they didn’t hire me, so I guess I’m stuck here until Jesus comes.
I’m stuck. I’ll never accomplish anything.” Guess what you did? You have violated spiritual law. You have foot spiritual law into activation by speaking your words. Your words frame the world that you live in now. If you don’t like where you live now change your words. Change your thoughts. If a thought comes into you your mind and your heart and then you speak it comma that frames your worlds. We are commanding communicators.
We are not like a sinner. A sinner can say all kinds of foolish stuff. It’s not going to have the power that we do, because we are commanding communicate. The Book of James says that the prayers of a righteous man Avail much power in the Earth. That is in the Amplified version. When we speak we are just like Samuel when we speak the word of God with power and authority, it causes things to happen. We call those things that be not as though they are. The dreams that you have and desires that you have, you have got to speak those things out.
I’m going to tell Josh. And then you must tell Ma Hicks. You got to tell Kerri. You got to tell Junior. You got to tell everybody that will listen to you the dreams that you have. You must tell them that this is what’s going to happen. You have to tell them,” I’m a child of the highest God. This is what’s in my heart. I know it’s not going to happen unless God causes it to happen.
I’m just telling you this, so you can get into with me.” They will be able to meet someone you know who is able to make your dream go to the next level. If you don’t speak it out of your mouth, it’s never going to happen. We are our worst enemy. The Devil is a defeated foe. The devil has no power over us. We give him power. We give him Power by the words that we speak. For example, “Well, I never have enough money to make it to the end of the week. Oh Lord, I’m always broke.” You have just activated that so now the person who says that, transmission will break down, you must get a new transmission. You just activated spiritual law to the negative. God would have to violate his word to bless you.
David told God to put a guard over his mouth so that he might not sin against him. We have got to make sure that every thought that comes to us we don’t have to speak it out period every thought does not come from. Every thought that comes to you. Kenneth Hagin said that someone told him to pray for him no evil thought comes into his mind. Kenneth Hagin said to the man”, If I could pray that prayer for you I would pray that or myself”. Kenneth Hagin told him that if a bird wanted to build a nest in his head he doesn’t have to stand still and let them build it. You flap your wings tell them to get out. You don’t have to take that thought. You cast them down and every High imagination that exalts itself above the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Thoughts are going to come to all of us. Thoughts come to Billy Graham. Ugly thoughts come to TD Jakes. But they don’t take any thoughts. According to Philippians 4:8 Amplified Bible (AMP)
8 Finally, [a]believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].
We only think of the negative side of confession. You should do that when you said there is a positive side to confession.
If it doesn’t line up with Philippians 4: 8, then cancel that thought. We don’t take that thought. Just ask is this a thought that is going to bless me or is it going to be a selfish thought that is just going to satisfy me or benefit me. That’s easy. It’s just that doesn’t glorify God we don’t receive that thought. Read Philippians 4:8. The word of God is truth. Those are the type of thoughts were going to hold. When it’s a thought we are going to take hold and keep that thought.
I’m a motivational speaker. I know the devil didn’t give me that because to help people. The devil doesn’t want to help people. We already know that he wants to kill when destroyed. So, the thought that I would want to be a motivational speaker with an audience in a platform to help other people less fortunate than me, that would be a god thought. So, guess what I will tell that to Josh. I will say I am a motivational speaker he sees that I have a passion in my heart. It is on the inside the what God has birthed in me. I didn’t know he was a principal of a school. Because I spoke that thought, I framed my world. I cause opportunities to come. If I just sit there I just cry because I thought I was a motivational speaker. You call those things that be as they are.
You frame your world by the words you speak. A lot of times, Confessionists are given a negative wrap because meditation and other religions do mantras repeatedly. There is a positive side of confessions. A lot of the time when we as believers, think about confession, we only think about confessing our sins. We should. 1st John 1:9 says John 1:9 Amplified Bible (AMP) 9 There it was—the true Light [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone.
That is written to believers. It’s saying that if we must confess our faults. Why? Because Jesus Chris t blood cleanses us of all unrighteousness. Got to renew our fellowship back to the father. The holy spirit is quick to convict us not to condemn us so that we can get that thing right. We can have our fellowship restored back to the father.
The positive side of confession is confessing what God’s word says about us. Find out the promises that God’s word says about us. Live on those promises. Confess What God Says About Us. Not going to let any negative that come out of our mouths. My car could be 4 blocks with no engine, but I’m going to confess that God supplies all my needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I’m going to believe that I have transportation enough to do your work. I need a good car. I’ll say God I thank you that you’re going to put tires on all four of those cars on my car.
You going to put a good engine in there so that I can do your work. That’s what you’re going to confess. Not going to confess the reality of the situation. You will confess What God Says About You. The Bible says that the angels are being given to us The Heirs of salvation. Mom used to like Star Trek. She would watch the Star Trek episodes over and over and over again. When I watched it one time I already knew it was going to have him happen, so I didn’t want to watch it again. But she’d be watching it over and over again as if it was the first time. She was just an enthusiast. She liked Star Trek. Do you know what I got from watching it with her?
The TV was always on Star Trek, so I would have to watch it if I wanted to be with her right? So, I would watch it to be with her. I like this one guy on Star Trek when he was the captain. Go to his number one and say make it so. Luke Picard something like that. I love how he would say that it was like poetic energy to my ears. When we speak the word of God power and authority we make our angels make it so angels. And they say,” I finally have something that lines up with the word of God that I can do.” They will go and make it happen. They will cause the resources. They will cause the people with the ability to make your dreams come into reality to your life. We have got to give our Angel something to say.
In Hebrews 11 and 3 we know that we frame the world. The world was framed by the word of God. It became a thought and then he spoke it out of his mouth. Then it became the Earth. Before we release the ability of Satan in our life we have to ask ourselves whose thought is this. Is this God’s thought or is it the enemies thought? If it is the enemies thought, we cast it aside. We already know that forever God’s word settled in heaven. Right? Psalms 119 verse 89 Psalm 119:89 Amplified Bible (AMP) 89 Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable].
God’s word is established in heaven. Not one word of God Is void of power. We know that forever your word, oh God, is settled in heaven. Once God speaks the word it is settled in heaven. It shall come to past. In order for Jesus to have come onto the Earth spoken by the prophets that authorized Jesus into Earth through Heaven realm. Did you know that the prophets had to speak his existence into the Earth? They heard the word of God. The word of God in the face. They spoke the prophecy of Jesus coming to Earth. If Mary would have never agreed with Jesus, then his entrance in the earth room would have been delayed. Mary was a virgin. The angel told her that she was going to be with child from the Holy Spirit. The angel told her that he was going to be the son of God and that the Son of God will come to the Earth through her. She didn’t debate. She didn’t ask how it could be. Did she didn’t know a man. Mary agreed that be unto her according to his word. She authorized Jesus to come into the Earth. Words have to be spoken. You have to speak words.
There was a pastor in Korea named Pastor Paul Lee Cho. He was a young pastor and he wanted a 10-speed bicycle. He was very specific about the type of bicycle that he wanted. He told God that he wanted a specific type of bicycle. It didn’t exist in the Korean economy right then. It was a third world country back then. He wanted one of the bicycles that was only made in America or Switzerland or something like that. He wanted a specific one and he told God about it. He told his other Pastor friends about it and they laughed. They would say, “Pastor Cho where’s your bicycle?” He would tell them it was in there. And they would just laugh and laugh. He was the laughing stock of the community.
There was a colonel that was getting ready to go back to the States. He needed someone to help him get packed up. He needed to see his wife and he was on deployment. He applied for this job at this agency. They told him it was a one-day assignment, which was to help that colonel get his stuff packed so that he could go back to the States. When they got through packing everything and put everything in the trunk to go back to the States, he had an overload of stuff that he was authorized to carry. Some of the stuff he couldn’t take with him. So, he said he can’t take this and that and that he would give some stuff away.
Things that he couldn’t take back was that 10-speed bicycle that Pastor Cho wanted. He said you can have this. He spoke that bicycle into the natural world. It was in the spiritual world first when he confessed it. He called those things that be not as though they were. Even when his Pastor friends laughed him to ridicule and thought he was just a fool, he stayed the course. He told them that God put that in his heart and God would cause it to manifest. It materialized into the spiritual world first. Texted into the natural world because of his faith.
We are commanding communicators period every one of us that are Christians. We are commanding communicators. Our words carry weight. Our words carry weight my words carry weight. I can do what God did. God calls those things that be not as though they were. God said that Jesus was the lamb slain before the foundations of the Worlds. Jesus at that time had not even appeared in the flesh. God called those things that be not as though they are. So, I’m going to be like my dad. He’s a good Daddy.
I’m going to imitate him. I’m going to call those things that pertain to me that are in my spirit and inside my belly. I’m going to call them out into existence. I’m going to frame my worlds to the degree that I want. It is mine. That gym that I want, is mine. That studio that I want is mine.
That business I want is mine. That graphic design is mine. Those customers are mine. I call them into existence now. I call those things that be not as though they were. That building that I need to worship you and to have church, it’s mine. I call it into existence now. I call those things into existence. The word that I speak are full of power. They are full of might. They are creative. Like my Daddy. I’m framing the world that I want. By the spoken word now. I thank you, Father, that I can have what I say. I say what you say about me. I’m more than a conqueror. You give me not only my wants, but the desires of my heart. I thank you Father, for manifestation of them, even now. In Jesus name. Give the Lord a hand clap.
Let’s thank Him for the manifestation of this now. Praise him. Let’s go to Matthew the 15th chapter. God is a good God. God has already given us keys of the Kingdom. He’s not given us keys to the Kingdom, but he’s given us the keys of the Kingdom. 39:02 minutes.
