Hearing the Lord




God begins His word to us by clearly telling us in the beginning how we are to live (Genesis 1). God is teaching us to speak into existence things that are not as though they were. The declarations of our mouth are the most important things. Then, before we proceed in this order which God is establishing, we are to see that it is good. Here God teaches us to build a strong and sure foundation.


Romans 4:17 NKJV (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations") in the presence of Him whom he believed; God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;


Principles the Lord is speaking to this body


1. We have been called and chosen. Do not let anyone tell you the Lord has passed you by. That is a lie from the enemy which was/is designed to cause you to loose faith.


2. BREAKTHROUGH is close by. You can feel excitement in the Spirit.


3. Having faith is simply having faith - do not make this a hard thing - the gospel is simple.


4. Everyone has a part to play.


Proverbs 6: NKJV - You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.


1) Faith filled words will bring you into VICTORY & BREAKTHROUGH.


2) Fear filled words will defeat you.


God is a faith God. God releases His faith in words. If Jesus came to you today personally and said, “From this day forward, everything that you say will come to pass exactly as you say it,” would that change your pattern of speech? It would, but why?


The principle of God here is summed up by the following:


The children of God CAN HAVE WHAT THEY SAY — however they are saying WHAT THEY HAVE.


Proverbs 18:21 NKJV - Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.


God is speaking to us here and now. Many are in transition. Many are in breakthrough. However, others are in a “state of flux.” This means they are fluid and could flow either way. This is the time to be careful so the enemy can not come and steal from you.


A few years ago the Lord gave us a very specific prophetic word concerning the harvest. I see the time is here for us to enter into this time of harvest. Here is the definition of HARVEST:


HARVEST - 1) the process or period of gathering in crops or 2) the season's yield or crop. As a verb it means to gather as a harvest.


Matthew 9:37-38 NKJV


37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

38 "Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."


John 4:35 NKJV


35 "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!


What we are seeing in this word is the fact that each of us must be active in the harvest. In order to gather in and reap the reward, we have to be active in it. I believe God is bringing us to a time of EVANGELISM - Seeking to convert others to the Christian faith.
