THE SCIENCE JESUS TAUGHT #2
IN THIS WORLD, YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR

INTRO:
·
Quantum
physics is a realm where the known laws of classical physics (Newtonian
physics) no longer apply.
·
In classic
(Newtonian) physics you can repeat experiments using the same formulas and get
the answers and responses you expect.
·
The
experiments are repeatable. You can expect that this is the way things work.
·
For instance, when Isaac Newton saw the apple
fall from the tree to the ground, he discovered a natural law - gravity.
·
You can
experiment with gravity all you like and it will work every time. What goes up
must come down!
·
In the
quantum, subatomic arena, there are only possibilities and probabilities.
·
Things don’t
work like you think they should.
·
Nothing is
there until you look.
·
All that
exists is only an infinite number of possibilities.
·
JESUS said:
“All things are possible to him that believes”. Mark
THE DOUBLE
·
Science has
confirmed that light has two forms, one being particles and the other being
waves.
·
What
determines if light comes in the form of a wave or a particle? The observer.
·
The researcher
actually influences the results.
·
In other
words when a scientist is looking for a particle, light shows up in particle
form.
·
When the same
researcher is looking for a wave, light shows up in wave form.
NOTE: When there is no observer, light
shows up as both waves and particles.
ILLUSTRATION – The Double split
experiment # 8
ILLUSTRATION – The Observer # 9
·
Whereas
gravity works whether anyone is present or not (a tree falls down, not up, even
if no one observes it), subatomic particles are not there unless someone (an
observer) looks for them.
·
We can’t
really know what they are doing, or even if they exist when we are not looking.
·
It is
possible that they “are not”.
·
1 Corinthians
·
How can a
thing not be?
·
Some
Scriptures makes no sense at all until you bring it down to the atomic level.
·
All things
are made of Atoms which are made of subatomic particles.
·
These
particles are not really particles because they exist only in a state of
possibilities until someone observes them at which point they appear as a thing
(particle).
Hebrews
11:1-3 (pg. 851) says:
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and
certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the
ancients were commended for.
3By faith we
understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen
was not made out of what was visible.
·
When you hope
for something, where does it exist?
·
Only in your
mind and heart…It “is not”, it is only a possibility.
·
Hebrew 11:3
says: “Through faith we understand the worlds were framed by the Word of God,
so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
·
The
Concordant Literal New Testament says, “…so that which is being observed has not
come out of what is appearing (what is visible)”.
·
This is a
statement that could have been made by a physicist.
·
What makes it
appear? You, the observer, with faith that gives substance to your hopes and
dreams.
11. SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT
(BELIEF) IN THE FORM OF (THOUGHTS) AND WORDS) ARE VIBRATING (ENERGY) THAT
AFFECTS (MATTER). Hebrews 11:1-3, Luke 17:1-6, Mark
·
Faith
observes that which “is not”, and gives it substance so that it may appear and
become visible.
·
The key to
manifesting matter, is to interact with that which “is not” so that it becomes
what you hope for.
·
Your
expectations and beliefs or what you observe is of primary importance.
·
If you
observe and expect failure, sickness and disaster, that is exactly what will
manifest.
·
There are an
infinite number of possibilities that exist for your life.
·
You alone have the power to choose which
possibility becomes reality in your life so choose wisely.
·
‘It seems
that Quantum physics and “faith language” have a lot in common – they sound
bizarre’. – Annette Capps
·
But there are
also stating the same truths but in different language.
·
After all,
just how bizarre is it to say that words can move mountains?
·
The
principles of faith and confession that Jesus taught seem like nonsense when seen
from a worldly point of view, but Jesus said that we are not of this world. We
are in the world but not of it (John
·
We operate in
a different set of laws which Jesus called the laws of the
·
Jesus said,
in this kingdom all things are possible.
12) SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT
A PERSON BASICALLY (FINDS) WHAT THEY ARE (LOOKING) FOR – IN OTHER WORDS THEIR (PERCEPTION)
BECOMES THEIR (REALITY). Mark
JESUS said: “All things
are possible to him that believes”. Mark
Matthew
29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According
to your faith will it be done to you";
Jesus said: “Let it be
done unto you according to your faith…Nothing will be impossible for those who
believe”.
·
When Jesus
encountered people along the road side, he asked them, “What do you want me to
do for you?”
·
·
Often times
they would ask for healing.
·
·
After the
needy person made there request, His response more times than not was, “Let it
be done according to your faith”.
·
Jesus never
claimed to have healed anybody. He always put it on the other person’s shoulder’s in the form of faith.
·
The Bible
says in Hebrews 11:1 that: “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for the
evidence of things it not seen”
·
Faith is not
seen with the physical eyes. Faith desires an object that in not seen it in the
physical realm.
·
Faith sees the object in the spiritual realm
with eyes of the heart. It is the spiritual eye behind the physical one.
·
JESUS TAUGHT:
YOU WILL RECEIVE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
MATTHEW 7:7-11 (pg. 685)
Says:
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For
everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door
will be opened.
9"Which
of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or
if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you,
then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how
much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:7-11
·
WITHOUT FAITH
EVEN JESUS COULD NOT PERFORM MIRACLES.
Matthew 13:53-60 says:
53When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on
from there. 54Coming to his hometown, he began teaching
the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man
get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. 55"Isn't
this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers
James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56Aren't
all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these
things?" 57And they took offense at him. But Jesus
said to them, "Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet
without honor." 58And
he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
ILLUSTRATION – SHARK JAW FAITH
Ephesians 3:20-21 says:
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than
all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout
all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
9"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to
you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to
him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11"Which
of you fathers, if your son asks for[a] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good
gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy
Spirit to those who ask him!"
Mark 11:22-24 (pg. 717)
says:
22"Have[a] faith in God," Jesus answered. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain,
'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes
that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore
I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours.
·
On the
surface, it may seem that Jesus made a ridiculous statement.
·
·
How is it
possible for spoken words to send a mountain into the sea.
·
For most of
us, this statement and others like it required great faith.
·
But now
thanks to science we can see this truth like never before.
·
“Some things
which have required faith to believe will no longer require faith, for it will
be proven to be scientific fact.” Charles Capps
MUSTARD SEED AND QUANTUM
PHYSICS
·
Jesus said: "If
you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree,
'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. Luke 17:6
·
When Jesus
said in Luke 17:6, “If you have faith as small as a grain of a mustard seed” He
was speaking of the smallest seed that could be seen in his time.
·
If Jesus were
today, he might say, “If you had faith as an atom…” or even smaller, “If you
had faith as a quark (which is a subatomic particle)…
·
The point He
was making was that small things that cannot be easily seen manifest themselves
and affect things in this larger world where we live.
·
Quantum
physics is the study of things so small that we cannot see them, yet everything
we see is made of these subatomic particles.
·
Scientist
have discovered that the electron that is shown orbiting the nucleolus is not
always in particle form.
·
·
It exists in
a wave state (like a cloud, every where at once) until someone looks at it.
·
When the
scientist observes it, it suddenly appears as a dot (particle).
·
QUESTION: HOW
DOES THE SUBATOMIC PARTICLE KNOW WHEN SOMEONE IS LOOKING AT IT?
·
THE SUBATOMIC
PARTICLE IS RESPONDING TO THE OBSERVERS INTERACTION WITH IT.
·
OPEN SPACE
ALL AROUND US IN FLUID AND ALIVE WITH INTELLIGENCE.
·
JUST LIKE A
FISH LIVES IN WATER, SO TOO A CHRISTIAN LIVES IN GOD.
·
One of the
difficulties in quantum physics is that the particles behave differently for
each observer.
·
Jesus was
right when he taught that all matter responds to faith and words.
·
TRUTH: Jesus
modeled and taught that the substance from which our world is made is
(influenced) and manifested by our (thoughts) and (words).
·
NOTE: The
things that you desire are made up of atoms. They know what you believe, hear
what you say and behave accordingly.
·
The thoughts
and beliefs that you carry also produce an energy around you.
·
Have you ever
noticed that when you are angry, things go wrong, and people are insulting and
angry with you?
·
Your thoughts
and beliefs produce an energy that people can perceive and react to. If you
believe that no one likes you, then you emit that rejecting type of energy, and
people will be driven away from you.
·
God is not
limited to the things that you and I see. There is an infinite supply of
substance waiting to be manifest according to your beliefs and words.
Luke 17:1-6 (pg. 741)
says:
1Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause
people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come.
2It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea
with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little
ones to sin. 3So watch yourselves.
"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and
if he repents, forgive him. 4If he sins against you
seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,'
forgive him."
5The
apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"
6He replied,
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this
mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.
·
When Jesus
spoke to the fig tree and said, “No man eat fruit from thee hereafter forever”,
then that fig tree dried up from the atomic level because His words.
·
When Jesus
spoke to the winds and the waves, they obeyed him.
·
THOUGHTS
BECOME THINGS AND THINGS OBEY WORDS!
·
Jesus did not
demonstrate this just to prove He was the Son of God.
·
He
demonstrated it and then told his disciples that they too can speak words of
power.
·
One of the
reasons that some people have a hard time believing this principle is that
sometimes it takes a long time for things to manifest from the unseen into the
seen realm.
·
It especially
takes a long time when you dig up your seed every day to see if anything is
happening yet! The seed will produce in its time if you leave it alone.
·
Things are
responding to your words every day, so speak good things to all that surrounds
your life.
·
If you really
believe Jesus’ words, you will monitor your thoughts and conversations, BECAUSE
YOU ARE THE ONE GIVING SUBSTANCE TO YOUR WORLD THROUGH WORDS!
ILLUS: All “things” (matter) are made up of Atoms, including your
children, your car, your computer, and your house. None of these things is
solid, including your kitchen table even if it is made of Oak. You may not see
the space between the atoms of your table, but if you could see that small, you
could see the movement! That’s right! Your kitchen table is vibrating!
Everything has a frequency of vibration. You vibrate, your car vibrates, and
even the mountains beyond your house vibrates. They all have a natural
frequency. Quantum Faith by Annette Capps
How does the microwave
heart up your cup of water?
The frequency vibration
of microwaves is much higher than that of water. When those high frequency
waves begin to bombard the water molecules, the electrons in the atoms are
excited and move more and more rapidly (a higher vibration). The result is that
the water becomes hotter. The electrons have jumped to a higher orbit changing
the behavior of your water into boiling. When you introduce cold temperature to
water, it slows down the vibrations of the atomic structure to such a degree
that the water becomes more solid and freezes.
·
All things
respond to the vibration of energy. What kind of energy are you producing?
Hebrews 11:1-3 says:
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and
certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the
ancients were commended for.
3By faith we
understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen
was not made out of what was visible.
·
Before God
spoke and said, “Let there be light”, the substance for light was there. The
sound vibration of His words caused the substance to manifest and appear.”
13) SCIENCE HAS CONFIRMED
THAT (WORDS) ARE (VIBRATING) (ENERGY) THAT AFFECTS MATTER EITHER NEGATIVELY OR
POSITIVELY – WORDS HELP (CREATE) OUR (REALITY). Proverbs 18:21, Matthew
5:21-26, James 3:1-12
The Bible speaks so much
of watching our words carefully.
Proverbs 18:21 says:
21 The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Matthew 5:21-26 (pg. 684)
says:
21"You have heard that it was said to the people
long ago, 'Do not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to
judgment.' 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry
with his brother[b]will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone
who says to his brother, 'Raca,[c]' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone
who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23"Therefore,
if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother
has something against you, 24leave your gift there in
front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and
offer your gift.
25"Settle
matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you
are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the
judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have
paid the last penny.[d]
James 1:26-27 (pg. 854)
says:
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does
not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is
worthless. 27Religion that God our Father accepts as
pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress
and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 3:1-12 (pg. 855)
says:
1Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my
brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in
what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
3When we put
bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole
animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are
so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small
rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5Likewise the
tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a
great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6The
tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts
the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set
on fire by hell.
7All kinds
of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have
been tamed by man, 8but no man can tame the tongue. It
is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and
with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out
of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear
figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Matthew 12:33-37 (pg. 690) says:
33"Make
a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will
be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34You
brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the
overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35The good man
brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings
evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36But I
tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every
careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you
will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

WORDS VIBRATE
WITH ENERGY THAT CAN EITHER KILL OR HEAL.
·
The energy of
your microwave vibrates the water molecules and heats the water.
·
Your words
are energy and they affect the matter in your life.
·
When you
speak the words, “This is the worst car I have ever had! You stupid piece of
junk!” those words are vibrations of energy that affect the atoms that make up
that car. If you speak those words long enough, your car will obey you!”
·
Are you
introducing faith-energized high frequency words or to your children, fiancés,
and health?
·
Or do you
introduce low frequency, negative words that freeze your circumstances into a
continual series of crises?
·
You have a
choice to use the energy of your words to change matter.
·
The things in
your life obey your words.
·
By speaking
to objects such as your computer, “Stupid computer! It’s going to crash!” you
will find that more times than not it will obey you.
·
It does not
care whether crashing is a good thing or bad thing, it just obeys you.
·
Or you can
make another choice when speaking to “things”. This is a good car. It always
starts and runs well.”
·
“But, I would
be lying. I have had problems with it, you say.
·
Yes, but do
you want to reinforce that which exists or change it?
·
By
acknowledging the good things about the car, you create a positive believe
about it which will ultimately change it to what you desire.
·
Imagine
taking the highest frequency of all, the vibrating creative words of God, and
changing the vibration of “those things you want changed.
·
Words
definetly affect people
ILLUSTRATION – THE
MESSAGE FROM WATER #14
ILLUSTRATION – WORDS
EFFECT PLANTS EITHER POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY
·
The Kingdom
of God is the realm where God lives.
·
The laws of
the Kingdom of God defy explanation. That is because they do not operate
strictly in the material, physical level, but on a higher overriding principle
that is the basis of creation.
·
Genesis
chapter 1 tells us that God spoke the unseen into existence by his Word.
·
Words are
unseen vibrations that obviously have an effect on manifesting or changing
matter.
·
Have you ever
planted a financial seed in faith?
·
Some people
claim to have been blessed through tithing.
·
How is it
possible that a person can give away $10.00 and be $100.00 or $1,000.00 richer?
There is no mathematical explanation as to how this principle works. Giving
away dollar bills does not make them multiply.
·
And if it
did, it would multiply in the re giver’s hand not the giver’s hand. Yet this is
exactly how Jesus taught that the principles of the Kingdom of God operated.
·
The classical
laws of physics, especially gravity says that a 180 pound man cannot walk on
top of a surface of water without sinking.
·
So Jesus must
have know about a law that supersedes gravity.
·
Current
medical science says that lepers and cripples cannot be healed and restored to
perfect health in seconds or minutes. It takes time. Did Jesus bypass time?
·
Scientist and
even small children know that solid matter cannot pass through walls.
·
Jesus assumed
a form that walked through a wall.
·
Did he
transform his physical matter into energy that passes through matter like radio
waves through the walls of your home.
·
These
behaviors were so strange that many people choose to believe that they did not
happen, because it is not possible in the physical, macro world where we live.
·
Physical laws
we take for granted were superseded by the person of Jesus Christ and can be
superseded by those who accept the principles of the Kingdom of God.
John 14:12 says:
12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will
do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I
am going to the Father.
14) SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT (ENERGY) IS NOT
CREATED OR DESTROYED, IT ONLY (CHANGES) FORM AND GOES FROM THE INVISISBLE REALM
TO THE VISISBLE AND FROM THE VISIBLE TO THE INVISIBLE. Hebrews 11:1-3
·
Faith is an
unseen energy force. It is not matter, but it creates matter and actually
become matter.
·
The
faith/energy that you use to call forth the manifestation of healing or
finances changes form when the manifestation takes place.
·
That is
because faith-energized words converts energy to matter.
·
Words are the
catalyst that turn the substance of faith into physical manifestation.
·
Faith is the
raw material from which all matter is made.
Hebrews 11:1-3 (pg. 851)
says:
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and
certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the
ancients were commended for.
3By faith we
understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen
was not made out of what was visible.
·
God used
faith-substance and word-energy to create the universe.
·
He spoke and the vibration (sound) of his
words released the substance that became stars and planets.
Genesis 1:3 says:
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and
there was light.
·
Words are the
carrier of substance. They carry the substance of wherever it is directed.
·
If you direct
your faith toward your bank account with the intention of filling it to
overflowing, then your word-energy vibrations causes your bank account to
become a magnet for the substance of money.
·
Money
(substance) will begin to come to you through a variety of different places.
·
If you direct
your faith to the healing of your body, then your words carry healing energy to
the cellular level of your body.
15) SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT
LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE – THINGS THAT (VIBRATE) AT THE SAME (FREQUENCY) WILL
(ATTRACT) EACH OTHER AND FORM A BOND. Matthew 13:12, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18,
Philippians 4:4-8
Matthew 13:12 says:
12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an
abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says:
16Be joyful always; 17pray
continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for
this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4-8 says:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it
again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but
in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests
to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is
noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
·
On the
vibrations of your thoughts and words words, faith-substance is carried to your
body where it becomes healing substance.
·
Just as God
created the universe by faith substance and word energy, you create your own
universe by your faith and your words.
·
If you don’t
like what you have created, you can change it!
·
In quantum
mechanics, the observation of something changes it.
·
You can never
really be sure it even existed before you looked.
·
Because you
looked, you actually interfered with whatever was before you looked.
·
If this
sounds confusing, it really isn’t.
·
It just means
that we affect everything around us just by how we see it or what we believe.
·
Jesus said to
the centurion in Matthew chapter 8…”As you have believed, so be it done unto
thee,”
·
It is a good
thing he believed his servant was healed!
·
Our
perceptions return to us exactly what we perceive.
·
How you
interact with the quantum field of possibilities, the unseen realm from which
all is created, determines what manifest in your life.
·
We have been
given an empty slate and Jesus said it is up to us what we choose to put on it.
Mark 11:24 says:
24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
·
Jesus used
farming analogies to illustrate his point.
·
Whatever you
sow, that you will reap.
Galatians 6:6-9 says:
6Anyone who receives instruction in the word must
share all good things with his instructor.
7Do not be
deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The
one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to
please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let
us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a
harvest if we do not give up.
·
If you sow
corn, you will reap corn.
·
However, if
you choose to sow weeds, you will reap weeds.
·
We have been
programmed in this worlds to sow the wrong kind of seed and then wonder what
happened.
·
Everything
has become separate and disconnected, but quantum physics brings us again to
the reality that Jesus taught that all things are interconnected.
·
God is not up
in Heaven sitting on his throne sowing seeds and making choices for us that may
be bad or good.
NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE
JOYFUL, THEN EVENTS AND CURCUMSTANCES WILL HAPPEN TO YOU THAT WILL GIVE YOU
MORE REASONS TO BE JOYFUL.
NOTE: GOD GAVE HUMANITY
THE FREEDOM TO (CHOOSE) THE (FREQUENCY) THEY DESIRE TO LIVE ON ACCORDING TO THE
THOUGHTS, WORDS, FEELINGS AND BEHAVIORS THEY SELECT TO USE OR NOT USE IN THEIR
LIFE. Deuteronomy 20:19, Proverbs 18:21, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-21, Philippians
4:4-8, Mark 11:23
1 Thessalonians 5:16-21
(pg. 837) says:
16Be joyful always; 17pray
continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for
this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19Do not put out the Spirit's fire; 20do
not treat prophecies with contempt. 21Test everything.
Hold on to the good.
·
We are sowing
our own seeds and making our own choices for good or evil.
Deuteronomy 30:19 says:
19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses
against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
Proverbs 18:21 says:
21 The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
·
We make the
choices. What you do and believe affects everyone and everything around you.
·
You actually
create your own reality.
·
You
perception of life becomes your life.
·
That is why
it is so important to change your perceptions, beliefs and expectations so that
they agree with the abundant life that has been provided.
·
Are you
perceiving and believing in blessings or curses?
·
In order to
change your circumstances or any “thing” in your life, you first go to the
controlling beliefs in your life.
·
Your heart
and your words must agree to produce the kind of mountain moving words Jesus
said we could have.
Mark 11:23 says:
23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this
mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart
but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
·
If you hold
negative thoughts and beliefs, then you must discover then and change your
beliefs.
·
Until you
uncover hidden beliefs that control your life, you will not be able to operate
in the kind of power Jesus said we have.
·
What you
believe in your heart is the controlling force of your life.
·
You are
either controlled by faith or fear.
It is fairly easy to
identify negative, limiting thoughts and beliefs:
·
You can
reprogram your beliefs by speaking energizing, life-giving words of power.
·
Speak only
what agrees with who Christ said you are and you can eliminate the old belief
system that has dominated you.
·
Remember,
what is seen is created from what is unseen. You outward circumstances are a
reflection of your beliefs.
·
Before you
can change circumstances, you must change yourself.
·
To speak to
the mountain and have it removed, you must believe those things you say will
come to pass.
·
Hearing
yourself speak (confess) what God has said about you, puts faith in your heart
and changes your perceptions and interactions with the world around you.
16) SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT
THERE IS (POTENT) (ENERGY) LIVING (WITHIN) A PERSONS MIND THAT COMES OUT THE
PERSON’S (THOUGHTS), (FEELINGS) (WORDS) and (BEHAVIOR)– SCIENCE CALLS THIS
POWER SOURCE THE “(SUBCONSCIOUS MIND)”,
THE APOSTLE PAUL CALLED IS THE “MIND OF CHRIST” FOR THE SANCTIFIED “CHRIST FOLLOWER”. 1 Corinthians
2:6-16, Philippians 4:13
Philippians 4:13 says:
13I can do everything through him who gives me
strength.
1 Corinthians 2:6-16 says:
6We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the
mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are
coming to nothing. 7No, we speak of God's secret wisdom,
a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time
began. 8None of the rulers of this age understood it,
for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"[b]— 10but God has
revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the
deep things of God. 11For who among men knows the
thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one
knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12We
have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that
we may understand what God has freely given us. 13This
is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by
the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.[c] 14The man without
the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for
they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are
spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man makes
judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's
judgment:
16"For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?"[d] But we have the mind of Christ.
CONFESS WHO YOU ARE
IN CHRIST:
·
These
confessions when spoken aloud will cause the energy of faith to rise to new
levels in your heart. You will be quickened to operate in a higher level of
faith and expectation.
Philippians 4:13 says:
13I can do everything through him who gives me
strength.
Colossians 2:3, 9-10
says:
9For
in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and
you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and
authority. 11In him you were also circumcised, in the
putting off of the sinful nature,[a] not with a circumcision done by the hands
of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, 12having
been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the
power of God, who raised him from the dead.
Matthew 18:16-18 says:
18"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on
earth will be[b]bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on
earth will be[c] loosed in heaven.

By taking
these scriptures and principles of God’s Word, you can access the unlimited
possibilities for your life. You are giving substance to your world through
words.
ILLUS: FAITH THAT MOVES A LAKE OF CAT
URINE
My favorite movie of the New Year is
"Marlee and Me", but keep in mind it is the first movie I have seen
in 2009. With that said, I would not be surprised if it holds up to be my #1 at
the end of the year. I will not give the movie away - but be warned, you will
laugh and cry allot! As most animal stories do, it has several good messages.
One of my favorite scenes is when Jenny
(the wife/mom) wants to get rid of Marlee (the dog) because they have young
kids now and Marlee is running them over and making a mess of the house. John
(the husband) looks at Jenny and says something to the affect: "We cannot
get rid of Marlee now, he has become part of the family...when I get old, are you
going to get rid of me too?". The scene meant allot to me because three
years ago I had the same conversation with my wife and used pretty much the
same words, but it had to do with our cat, Zebbie. We brought home a new puppy
(Zack) and he tormented the cat, so in retaliation she peeped all over the
house every day. When Michelle said she thought we should take the cat to the
pound, I said: "When I am old and peeing my pants, are you going to ship
me off to a nursing home?....The cat stays, we will love her back to
health".
While I could have worded it differently
and been a little more gentle, my conviction was right on. I am not a cat
person and I didn't even like the cat because I found her to be arrogant and
distant. I bought the cat for Michelle who loves cats a week after we
moved to Minnesota 13 years ago and even though I did not like her much she
became apart of the Barnett family. I was standing my ground, I knew I was
right to keep a cat I didn't even like because it was the right thing to do.
I prayed that the cat would adjust to the
dog. I brought home canned cat food and a toy. It worked! Within a few
days the cat was back to eating dry food again and has never peed on the carpet
since. Oh yeah, I also bought the best "cat pee cleaner" known
to man at $50.00 a bottle and the best "puppy pee cleaner" at $50.00
a bottle while I was at it.
The point I am making is, we live in a
throw away society where we get rid of things, pets, cats, dogs and even
spouses when they inconvenience us. If you have a cat, dog or spouse you are
tempted to get rid of, then I urge you to love them back to health and bring
home the "canned" food. In other words, do what you need to do to
demonstrate love to the thing, pet or person who you are tempting to cut out of
your life because love changes behavior.
The easier thing to do is take the
"dog", "Cat" "Spouse" to the "pound".
But everybody else does that. Be a cut above the average person in America
today and do the difficult thing. Keep the Dog...Keep the Cat...Keep the Spouse
and choose to love them back to health. When you do, they will stop
"peeing on your carpet".
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says:
4Love is
patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not
delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always
protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8Love
never fails.
