People Are Saved by Hearing and Speaking Words


Men and women are saved by hearing and speaking words.

Romans 10:8-10
8. But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe inthine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

We live in a word created and word controlled environment.

II Corinthians 4:13 Paul tells us:
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak

Even when that young David came to bring groceries to his siblings, and those soldiers were all sitting there in their camp watching "televison". Watching that Goliath "tell his vision".

David, as it turned out, he spoke no less than FIVE TIMES what was going to happen and what he would be doing to Goliath, and it put anger inside the man. David did EXACTLY what he declared.

II Corinthians 4:17-18
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.

Calling things that are not as though they are.
That's what Jesus did all during His ministry.

I heard a man once say that he told God that he felt like he was lying speaking His Word for himself.
The Lord spoke to him...."Son, how could you lie saying what I say?"

Some people think that they'll just start confessing what God says is true, that they'll have a harvest in just a few days...but not so. If I go out back and plant a cucumber seed, it will not produce anything for my table until after it germinates, brings on the leaf, stalk, and bloom and the fruit of it to grow...THEN it will have something ready for my table.

It's got to grow on the inside of us, and we've got to stand true to what God's said and what we produce from our mouth.
How long will it take. Who cares...just do it until you have a harvest.

Now that's not to say that the Spirit of God cannot or will not bring signs and wonders and will not bring miracles. I've seen that in my life, and I THANK GOD FOR THEM...but that is not what I'm talking about here.

Romans 10 says the Word is nigh you even in our mouth...it's as close as getting into your mouth and speaking it. When I'm confessing the Word, I'm sowing the Word.
It's the SAME WORD OF FAITH THAT WE ALL SPOKE WHEN WE CAME INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
It's the same spiritual principle. Believing it in our hearts and speaking it with our mouths.

ALL things are subject to change when we believe and stand on God's Word.

Men and women are saved, brought out of the kingdom of darkness and brought into the Kingdom of Light and LIFE..... by hearing and speaking words.

Hallelujah!!!
