Welcome to another edition of The Power of Words
with me your host, Kevin Treasure, author of
The Power of Words The Winner's Mentality. Our
aim is to help people win in life through the
power of their words. You are born to win. Hallelujah
and give the Lord a big shout of Amen and Amen
and Amen. We thank God for what He's about to
do in our lives. Amen. If you have your Bibles,
Amen. Just turn your Bibles to Genesis chapter
49. Genesis chapter 49 like I said I'm gonna
try my best to teach a little amen I'm not gonna
stay long just wanna try my best to teach amen
but sometimes I get a bit carried away so if
you get a bit carried away just say slow down
preacher slow down and teach a little because
I truly believe that the body of Christ needs
more teaching than they need preaching amen some
people will jump and shout and we go to church
and then when you come out and say what was the
word and you don't have a clue, you weren't edified,
amen, because you heard a lot of shouting, but
you didn't hear a lot of teaching, amen, and
it's teaching that is gonna change us, it's teaching,
amen, it's gonna show us how to live our life,
amen. Because God wants us to apply what we hear.
Amen. The word is no good to anybody if we do
not apply it to our life. The Bible says, listen,
if we do not apply it, we're like the man that
built his house on the sand, and the rain descended,
the storms came, the winds blew, and listen,
and great was the ruin of that house. But I decree
and I declare that that will never be our portion
because we're building our life on the rock.
We are not just heroes of the word, but I decree
and I declare that we are doers of the word in
Jesus' name. Just say it wherever you are. Say,
I am! a doer of the word. Amen. I truly believe
in confessions. Amen. We must speak. I have daily
confessions that I speak. One day I'm going to
put my show on daily confessions. Amen. I'm going
to put some show. I have confessions on finances,
confessions on marriage, confessions on healing.
Amen. We must speak God's word. God's word is
there for us. That is the guide to life. Amen.
That is the guide to life. So you must use God's
word concerning every... area of our life Jesus
said search the scriptures amen because in them
you find eternal life and they are they that
speak of me from Genesis to Revelation it's about
one man and his name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth
amen so about to go into the word of God amen
even as I've prayed we're going into Genesis
chapter 49 as we're going to Genesis chapter
49 i'm gonna read about it's a very interesting
man you know him as Jacob but God later changed
his name to Israel and it's man that out of all
of them actually believe out of Jacob out of
Abraham and Isaac Jacob lived a very extraordinary
life he had ups and downs highs and lows oh my
god he had to face some things he robbed his
brother's birthright amen swindled his father
amen and tricked his father for the birthright
by men by by the guidance of his mother. A man
ran off, worked for his uncle, lay man. A man
got defrauded by him for 14 years, was given
a wife, wrong woman, had to work another seven
years for the right woman, married to two women,
had two other baby mothers, had 12 kids, and
they had a girl. His daughter got raped and molested.
His sons tried to kill all those men. So many
things, his sons, 10 of his sons. Sold one of
his son his favorite son into Egypt So many things
happened to this male so many things wrestled
with an angel got his hip out listen when we
talk about the life of Jacob just this one man
he went through so much of his family he went
through so much of his children and all he wanted
to do was serve God amen he loved God amen and
God changed him so you're looking at a man who's
gone full circle amen he's now come back and
he's found out that his son that he thought was
dead is now alive and he's come back lived in
Egypt with all his family with children great
great grandchildren great grandchildren great
great grandchildren amen and he's found that
his son is sick in command of the most powerful
nation in the earth and this man is coming to
the end of his life amen and this man is truly
a prophet amen and he's coming to the end of
his life and he's about to bless his sons amen
and the blessing is important amen he's about
to speak over his sons and what he's about to
say amen because he's about to give up the ghost
but he's about to decree and declare to each
one of his sons because he knows that they're
going to be a great nation and he's told them
over and over again listen we serve the true
and the living God this is what God told our
grandfather Abraham this is what he told him
you're going to be a great nation and through
us so all the nations of the earth shall be blessed
and he used to tell them so what he was about
to say to his sons was so important amen and
listen what he was about to decree and declare
to them would be their future He was about to
prophesy, concerning who they would be, amen.
The mark that they would leave, amen. The legacy
that they would continue to leave in the earth.
And the Bible says he came to Judah, and he spoke
about Judah. He's saying Judah is a lion's world,
amen. From the prey he said thou are gone up.
He stooped down, crashed down as a lion. The
scepter shall not depart out of Judah, getting
Judah a blessing, amen. He blessed Dan, he blessed
Zebulon, amen. and he blessed his sons and he's
speaking over his sons. Listen, he cursed Levi
and Simeon about their rage where they went and
cured innocent men because of what they'd done
to their sister and he just spoke over their
lives. But it's so interesting. I was studying
this word and I was studying the blessings, what
was blessing these men of God. He's blessing
his sons and he got to Nephalte. Nephalte, amen.
Naphtala, I beg my pardon. Amen to wherever you're
from, where you're pronouncing. In verse 21,
in chapter 49, Genesis 49, chapter 20, verse
21, it says, and Naphtali, Naphtali, here we
go. Now the music stops, I just like to put some
music underneath, amen. And Naphalte is a hind
let loose. He giveth godly words. And then he
moves on to Joseph. So you've got to remember
these men ain't young men these men are like
80 90 100 because Jacob died I believe 147 years
old don't quote me on that or somewhere around
there Jacob died a man full of years amen very
old in years so his sons are big men his sons
have children and grandchildren and even great
grandchildren so his sons are not young men and
they're waiting to hear the blessing of the Lord
that the Lord has for them and he says to Nefati
he looks at Nefati and he says is a hind let
loose he give of godly words and moves on to
joseph's and starts blessing joseph now to be
honest with you if i wasn't a fati i'd be like
uh where do i go with this uh i'm sure you've
got more for me god i'm sure you got more for
me dad and i'm like a hind i'm like a deer let
loose i give godly words what do i do with this
what did this prophetic word i want i want more
but he blesses him with this simple one line
blessing and moves on to his other son and he
blesses joseph gives joseph a big blessing and
he gives he blesses all his other sons but this
one line that he gives to nefati it drew to my
attention he says you're like a deer let loose
but you give godly words and the bible says and
jacob fell asleep so all his life he's been waiting
for the blessing of the lord and all he gets
is this one line blessing i'm like a deer let
loose i give godly words well what can that do
for me Where do I go with this prophetic word?
And many of you, at the sound of my voice, many
of you received the prophetic word that you did
not understand. And God is saying, I want you
to go back, amen, and look at the prophetic word
that you've spoken over your life, because you
know it truly came from a man of God. You truly
know it, even though it's spoken from a man of
God, you know it came straight from God's throne
room. And you may not understand it yet, and
you don't know what God is saying, and what God
is doing, and the time frame that he's doing
it in. But when God gives a prophetic word, trust
me, it's for you to work the word, amen, and
go home and do your research. because God is
saying something even now, he says Nefati is
like a hind let loose, you're like a deer let
loose amen you give godly words so he's saying
okay God where do I go from here now we do know
that the Bible says in let's turn to it in Proverbs
chapter 18 I believe I said it earlier Proverbs
chapter 18 the book of Proverbs chapter 18 the
Bible says in verse 21 it says death and life
in the power of the tongue And they that love
it shall eat the fruit thereof. Now he's already
prophesied to Nefati that you're going to give
godly words. You're going to speak good things,
amen. Because death and life are in the power
of the tongue, amen. And you can have whatever
you say. So he's telling Nefati, you give godly
words. You give godly words to people. You give
godly words to whoever comes across, amen. You
give godly words concerning your life, amen.
So what is he saying? He says sometimes you've
got to be the prophet of your own life. Listen,
some of us wait for a man of God, a woman of
God to call us out of church to say our name.
you already know your name sometimes you have
to be the prophet over your own life and you
have to speak i will be the man of god the god
has called me to be i will be well i will be
prosperous i will be blessed i will do what god
has called me to do i will preach the gospel
i will lay hands on the sick i will cast out
devils in the name of jesus christ of nazareth
sometimes you gotta speak what god wants you
to speak you gotta prophesy over your own life
man go in front of the mirror and preach to yourself
amen listen to me you gotta start somewhere it
says death and life are in the power of the tongue
but he says he gives godly words you're like
a deer let loose and you give godly words So
he said what words am I gonna give? What words
am I gonna give? And he said he's got this word
and he said okay I'm gonna have to meditate on
this word. What is my father talking about? He's
saying and remember he's got to pass this word
down to his sons and his son's sons and his son's
son's son's sons. They've got to know, listen
this is what our father has spoken concerning
us as a tribe, concerning us as a people amen.
We're gonna be like a deer let loose amen. We're
gonna give godly words amen. We're always gonna
speak right. We're always gonna do right amen.
And for us to speak right our hearts gotta be
right. because I have the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaks but if you look above that verse
in verse 20 it says a man's belly shall be satisfied
I want you to underline that word because you're
gonna see why I said that word a man's belly
shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth
and with the increase of his lips shall he be
filled so what is he saying you're gonna be satisfied
with what you've been saying you're gonna have
what you're gonna be saying the contemporary
version says we are rewarded or punished by what?
we say many of us are in situations right now
at the sound of my voice because of what we've
said and what we've done amen some of us have
said some things and we shouldn't as a people
that we shouldn't have said it to and that's
what's got us in trouble the Bible says we are
snared by the words of our mouth so sometimes
God is saying listen to me if you ask him say
Lord I need you to train me listen to me how
to hold my tongue I want to speak to some women
right now amen because some of you speak the
wrong thing to your husband and you get the wrong
results some husbands speak the wrong thing to
their wives and they get the wrong results some
of us as Christians we always put our foot in
our mouth and we all what I mean by that we say
the wrong thing and it gives us the wrong outcome
but listen to me David said set a watch about
my lips and a guard about my tongue for us to
live a godly Christian life we're gonna say Lord
I need you to muzzle my tongue I need the Holy
Spirit to help me to speak amen I need the Holy
Spirit to help me to always speak the right thing
help me to pause if i'm going to say the wrong
thing holy spirit help me work with my words
isn't it so funny that when the holy ghost came
upon the disciples on the day of pentecost the
first thing that he touched was their lips amen
because he knows so me to use a man i need to
get control of his heart but i need to get control
of his mouth i need to get control of his tongue
because that is the vehicle that god is going
to use to save the loss that is the vehicle that
god is going to use to minister to the broken
amen god once our words amen is somebody still
listening i'm trying to slow down so remember
he's prophesized in the fati like a deer let
loose you give godly words but the bible said
the man shall be satisfied oh amen so underline
that word you're going to be satisfied but what
you've been speaking the contemporary version
says a man shall be rewarded or punished By what
he says so we've got to be careful of what we
say We've got to be careful of what leaves our
life our leaves our mouth Jesus told his disciples
when the Pharisees came to him. They said oh,
oh, why don't your disciples wash their hands
before they eat and I'm interested in the outward
I'm interested in what's in the heart. You're
interested in washing hands. I'm interested in
what washing heart He said listen man eating
with unwashed hands doesn't defile him It's not
what goes into a man that defiles him, amen.
It's what comes out of a man that defiles him.
Yep, it's Jesus saying, because what comes out
of him comes from the heart. Murders and hatred
and envy and jealousy. Those things are coming
out of a man. Those things are coming from the
heart and that's what defiles him. So we've got
to be careful that we don't defile ourselves
by the words that we speak, amen. Because the
Bible says, I believe in Matthew 12. I believe
somewhere down there, because by their words
I shall be justified and by their words we shall
be condemned, amen. So we've got to be careful.
that every other word we're gonna give an account
for so Christians we gotta be careful that we're
always speak in life that we're not gonna get
caught up in gossip no matter how I don't care
if it's true listen to me don't get caught up
in gossip if you see someone doing wrong listen
to me pray for them amen if someone comes on
your phone and you tell you all kind of rubbish
say no no no let's stop this conversation let's
pray for the sister let's pray for the brother
amen that shows Christian maturity amen don't
entertain the foolishness that goes on in church
I used to tell people as a young Christian, when
I was a young Christian, there used to be so
much rubbish going on in church, but it's up
to you if you want to be a part of it, amen.
If you want to be a part of it, good luck to
you. But listen to me, as a young Christian,
as growing up in the Lord, listen to me, I made
sure I was around men of God and women of God
that were teaching me the word of God. I was
under my bishop that was just teaching me the
things of God. I wasn't caught up in all the
foolishness that was going on in church, because
let me tell you something now, there's foolishness
going on everywhere, but it's up to you whether
you're going to be a part of it, amen. He said,
listen to me, death and life are in the power
of the tongue. And they that love it shall eat
the fruit thereof. You see, Nefati received a
one -line blessing. And when I look into his
life, he was a bit overlooked, a bit rejected,
amen. He was like a bit bypassed. Sometimes people
will bypass you. People will reject you, amen.
And people will think that you're nothing. And
he said, oh my God, listen, my father didn't
really love me the way he loved his other brothers,
the way he loved Judah, the way he loved... Joseph
but let me tell you something now don't ever
be jealous of the next man's blessing because
what is for you is for you oh my god thank you
