How to Believe with Your Heart pt 2

Pastor Creflo Dollar

1. We must watch the words we say because our words feed our spirits (Ephesians 4:29).

1. We have an inner ear that is directly connected to our spirits.
1. Therefore, the words we speak (either positive or negative) deposit good or bad things in our spirits.
2. When we speak words that are corrupt or negative, it grieves the Holy Spirit that dwells within us (Ephesians 4:30).
2. We must write the truth of the Word of God on the tables of our hearts (Proverbs 3:3).
1. We write the truth on our hearts by speaking the Word of God. The tongue is like the pen of a ready writer (Psalm 45:1).
2. Therefore, saying what we believe from the Word of God produces great results.
3. Spiritual things manifest into physical things when we speak faith-filled words (Matthew 17:20).
4. The more time we spend in the Word, the more we starve our doubts.
5. Through the Word, our spirits can gain the faith that our intellect cannot obtain.

2. The more highly developed we become (in either faith or fear); the quicker we will see results.

1. When we have peace, we are highly developed in faith. When we are stressed out and worried, we are highly developed in fear.
2. Development in faith does not come by just repeating the Word over and over again.
1. As we spend more and more time with the Word, we reach an advanced level of faith.
2. God’s Word can still do everything today that Jesus did when He walked the earth. God sent His Word to heal, deliver, and provide for us; however, we must believe with our hearts that He will do what His Word says.

3. “For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith” (Romans 4:13).

1. Those who are born again are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
2. When we truly believe God’s Word, we no longer feel we need Jesus to come down from His throne to deliver us (Romans 10:6-7).
1. Instead we understand the power of His Word.
2. He sent His Word to heal and deliver us. His Word is able to accomplish whatever He can accomplish.
3. Through His Word, we obtain our inheritance, deliverance, healing, provision, etc.
4. Believing with the heart (or the spirit) means to believe apart from what is seen in the physical realm.

4. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).

1. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus is the Word in flesh form (John 1:14).
1. Therefore, Jesus and the Word are the same.
2. In this context, Jesus represents how the Word, which is spiritual, can manifest in the physical realm.
3. The Word that we apply to our lives can bring forth actual, tangible results.
4. In Gensis 1, God said, God said and God saw what He said.
5. I Chron. 28:19 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
6. Jhn 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

         1.  follow means become or be his disciple

7. Mar 11:23  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain,
