Thank you.

Well, God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes. And you're ever in our area. Please stop by and be a part of one of our services.

I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. Thanks so much for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out.

I like to start with something funny. I heard about this man that was walking on the beach. God said, son, you've been so faithful. I'm going to grant you one special wish.

He was so excited. He said, God, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm afraid to fly. So my wish is that you would build me a bridge across the ocean.

God said, son, that's totally impossible. Think of the logistics of that. Now take some time and wish again. He said, okay, God, I've been married four times.

All my ex-wives say, I am so insensitive. So my wish is that I would be able to understand a woman. I want to know why they think like they think. Why they feel like they feel. There was a long pause. God said, do you want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?

Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about how your words become your reality. You are where you are today, in part, because of what you've been saying about yourself.

Words are like seeds. When you speak something out, you give life to what you're saying. If you continue to say it, eventually that can become a reality.

Whether you realize it or not, you are prophesying your future. This is great when we're saying things like, I'm blessed, I'm strong, I will accomplish my dreams, I'm coming out of debt.

That's not just being positive. You are prophesying victory, prophesying success, prophesying new levels. Your life will move in the direction of your words.

But too many people go around prophesying just the opposite. I never get any good breaks. I'll never get back in shape. Business is slow, I'll probably get laid off.

Flu season is here, I always get it. They don't realize they are prophesying defeat. It's just like they're calling in bad breaks, mediocrity, lack.

The scripture says, we will eat the fruit of our words. You are planning seeds when you talk. At some point you're going to eat that fruit.

My challenge is make sure you're planning the right kind of seeds. If you want apples, you have to sow apple seeds. If you want oranges, you can't plant cactus seeds, poison ivy seeds, mushroom seeds, you're going to reap fruit from the exact seeds that you've been sewing.

In other words, you can't talk negative and expect to live a positive life. You can't talk defeat and expect to have victory. You can't talk lack, not enough, can't afford it, never get ahead and expect to have abundance.

If you have a poor mouth, you're going to have a poor life. If you don't like what you're seeing, start sow in some different seeds.
