AM – Impart Life not Death

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

This week Ps Kaye talks about how it's not the external things that we need to be concerned with. It's the words that come from our heart because we can trace what's in our heart by what comes out of our mouth. However, as Christians, the Holy Spirit empowers us to impart words that change the atmosphere in our homes and everywhere we go.

Furthermore, Ps Kaye teaches how God has also given us spiritual gifts of knowledge and prophecy to encourage others, especially those who don’t yet believe. We finished the services with two prophetic activations (the recording of these activations start at 24min). Try this one now:

  1. Go somewhere quiet with paper and a pen.

  2. Ask the Lord to give you an encouraging word and/or Scripture for someone - don’t ask who it is yet.

  3. Write it down.

  4. Now ask the Lord who He wants you to give the word to.

  5. Go give it to them and ask if it means anything to them - don’t be afraid if they say “No.” We learn from trying over and over until we begin to hear the Lord clearly. But most likely they’ll say “Yes, it does.”

AM - We Must Let The Word of God Sharpen Us

The Word of God Must Sharpen Us

Hebrews 4:12

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV)

12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Some Sermon Notes

Jesus is the living word. "When we read the word, we are communicating with Jesus."

The Word:

  • brings life to us. 

  • is sharp. The Word resets us. It reveals what's from our soul and what is from our Spirit and from God. It sharpens us to hear the prophetic voice of God.

  • will discern of our bodies - the word of God can heal our bodies ("joints and marrow").

Anyone who doesn't read the living Word is "missing out on their spiritual immunity."

The Word reveals whether our thoughts are correct, and reveals our underlying motives.

  • Ask God to show us our motives. "Why am I doing this/that?"

  • 1 John 1

His Word makes us sharper in the prophetic.

  • It helps us sense His plans, His heart, His truth,

Knowing the Word gives us a strong foundation when the world tries to persuade us to accept their beliefs. We won't be swayed to go with the majority.

Hearing the Sunday sermon is insufficient. We must be hiding God's word in our hearts.
