ANNOUNCER: The Word of God is the ultimate producer of a
bountiful harvest. Today on the Believer's Voice of Victory,
Kenneth Copeland encourages you to fill your heart with
faith-filled words and walk in victory. Now let's join Kenneth.
KENNETH: Hello, everybody. I'm Kenneth Copeland, and
this is the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast.
Father, we thank You today for Your Word. We thank
You for Your presence. Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my. It is so rich
and good to worship You and bless You. We open our hearts
and we open our minds for revelation, words from heaven.
Words. Words. The most important thing in all of this planet,
words. And we thank You and praise You for it in Jesus'
name. Amen. KCM is giving away Christmas gifts. Hey, hey, hey.
Nah, we ain't giving them away. We're giving them to you.
Praise--we sow it into your--I like the word "sow." I like to
give. I don't like that "away" word. That is a world word. We
don't give away. We sow into. We're sowing into you. We're
giving to you from now until December the 25th, every day, go
to kcm.org/25days. Now, you--go there and find out. We're sowing
copies of my brand-new Word of Faith commentary Bible. Oh,
you've got to get your hands on that. Praise God. God the--hey.
Slow down, Kenneth. Go to the website for all of the details
on how to participate, okay? Glory to God. I got it all out
at one time. Amen. Hallelujah. Matthew 12 again. Let's go back
to the words of Jesus. We're talking about words, the most
powerful things in this planet, which makes the Word of God the
most precious thing in this planet. Now, Matthew 12. I want
to read down through here. Verse 33, "Either make the tree good,
and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit
corrupt: for the tree is known by the fruit. Generation of
vipers, how can you, being evil," or just natural. He
wasn't talking about bank robbers and all that. No. He's
talking about--He's talking to God's people here. "How can
you," just being natural, "speak good things? for out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." How can you load up
your spirit with doubt, unbelief, religious brain-washed
instead of New Testament taught? as Brother Hagin used to say.
How can you do that and say something else? You can't. You
can't--you can't get apples out of briars. What is in that seed
that went into the ground is what came up. What went into
your spirit as a seed produced and came up. How? Out of your
mouth, words. Now then, "A good man out of the good treasure of
his heart," with the good stuff he's put in there, "brings forth
good things." Why? Because "out of the--out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaks. "But I say unto you, Every idle word
that men shall speak, they'll give account thereof in the day
of judgment." Now, what is He talking about there? "Whatsoever
doesn't proceed from faith is sin." Remember that? Now, don't
let that put you into condemnation. Hey, "A merry
heart does good like a medicine." We were laughing in
here in the studio earlier today and just heehawing over some
stuff. Well, those are not idle words. Now, if--when you get
really seriously into idle words, what He's referring to
there was the fact that they prayed and prayed and prayed and
prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed and
"thought they would be heard for their much saying." And that's
actually what He was referring to. He said the gentile'll do
that. Let me give you an idear here--an "idear," that's good.
Okay. Jesus said to that fig tree, "No man eat fruit of you
again hereafter forever," nine words. Then when He said,
"Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, be
thou cast into the sea, and not doubt in his heart--" He said,
"Whosoever shall say" nine words, "Be thou removed, be thou
cast into the sea." So, now, this is an--oh, I like it. I--I
use it as tracks to run on. "I--oh, dear Lord, I said 11
words that will not come to pass." Now, that's stupid. But,
when you start even saying the nine words-- "Let's see. How
many times I've got to say this? Oh, no. What am I going to do?"
I--I had a situation one time where I was--I was coming up
against a deadline, I mean a big deadline. And I was $25,000
short. And this was back in the days when there were no cell
phones and so forth. So I just got the boat out and got out in
the middle of the lake and--where, you know, no phones
could ring or anything. And I just got out there by myself,
and I said, "Oh, God. Oh, God, I believe I receive it. Oh, God, I
believe I receive it. Oh, God, I believe I receive it. Oh, God I
believe I receive it. Oh, God I believe I receive it. Oh, God I
believe I receive it. Oh, God I believe I receive it." And I'm
telling you, right inside me, big time, He said, "Shut up!"
"Yes, sir." Well, I came to attention. I mean, it really--He
had--He had to do it that way to shut my mouth. I said, "Yes,
sir." He said, "There ain't no faith in that." He said, "You're
saying that." He said, "You're saying the right words, but
they're full of fear, not full of faith." What are those? Idle
words. See, I'm--I'm--(Stammering) "Oh, I
tell you, tree--I tell you, fig tree, you're going to have to
listen to me. Oh, you're going to have to be--(Stammering)."
Those are idle words. Why? Because you added them in there
because you didn't have any faith, and you want this thing
to come to pass, and you're going to be ashamed if it
doesn't come to pass because you said--da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
idle words, worthless words. Now, notice He said, "You will
give account for that in judgment." Whoa. Like one fellow
said, "I need a crop failure really bad." Ha-ha-ha. Well,
that's easy. Amen. "Father, I repent. My, my, my," and get
back in here, and get back in the Word and enter into His rest
and let Jesus have the privilege of doing what He does, which is
back our words as our high priest. Amen. Hebrews 3:1 and
4:16. I mean, He is our high priest. Let us hold fast to our
confession. He is the high priest because he hears them and
backs them when they're His words. Amen. Now, let's go over
to the book of James. Oh, yesterday, we were talking about
what was going on out there in the plains of Shinar. Then--and
God, He--God didn't have any choice. There--and when--when
the children of Israel said, "We're going to die in this
desert," and they kept saying, "We're going to die in this
desert," He said, "Okay, Moses, tell them that I'm going to have
to do what I heard them speak in my ear." He didn't say, "I'm
going to kill them all." No. That's not the--that's not the
tone in which He said it. He said, "I'm going to have to. I
can't do anything else. They're stiff-necked people and their
words are stout against them." Words. Words, words, words.
Okay. Now then, in the book of James, this is--oh, this is such
marvelous teaching. It should be. This man was raised in the
household with Jesus. That's the reason you see some things in
the book of James you don't quite see in other places, and
particularly--well, I don't want to take time to go into that.
3rd chapter of the book of James, Verse 2, "For in many
things we offend all. If any person," anybody, "offend not in
word, the same is a perfect," or mature, "person, able also to
bridle the whole body." The whole body. Now, notice, "We put
bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; we turn about
their whole body. Also the ships, which though they be so
great, and are driven by fierce winds, yet are they turned about
with a very small helm," or rudder, "whithersoever the
governor," or the captain, "decides. Even so the tongue is
a little member, and boastest great things. Behold, how great
a matter a little fire kindles!" A little--a kindling is
just--can be just a spark in some places. Kindling, it's
something small that is readily ignitable, and it ignites
something just a little larger than that, catches onto
something a little larger than that, and then that a little
larger than that, and the next thing you know you've got a
bonfire, and the next thing you know you've got a forest fire.
The next thing you know you've got houses burning. You
understand that we've been experiencing a lot of that, you
know, just last--last summer and fall. And a lot of it, you know,
over the years. "The tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is
the tongue among our members, it defiles the whole body, and sets
on fire the course of nature--" I have a cross-reference that
says, "the wheel of nature." It starts the ball rolling. "--and
it is set on fire of hell." Now, that's somebody that's not
walking in love, but that's anybody. That's the way it
works. This is a voice-activated system. It is a voice-activated
environment. Help me, Lord. The tongue is the start button. Did
you get it? You punch that button, there's a series of
things happen. There's certain things that have to take place
before that engine'll run. But once you start--punch that start
button, it's going to continue to run until you punch it again.
The tongue is the start button and the stop button. Amen. Now,
this 7th verse, you've got to get this now. You don't just
say, "Well, look at that, Brother Copeland, every kind of
beast, and birds, and serpents, and things in the sea, is tamed,
and hath been tamed to mankind: but the tongue can no man tame."
Well, I mean, what's the use? The Bible says, "No man can tame
the tongue." No, it didn't. Now back up and let's look at this.
"For every kind of beast, birds, serpents, things in the sea, is
tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind." The cross-reference
says, "The nature of man," natural human nature,
natural--you don't have to be born again to train an animal.
Sinner or saint can train a horse if they know how. "But the
tongue can no man tame" with natural human power; it is
unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God,
even the Father; therewith curse we men, which are made after the
similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and
cursing." "Behold, I place before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore you choose life." How do you
choose life? You choose life words. Jesus said, "My words are
spirit, and they are life." "Brethren, these things ought
not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth the same place sweet
water and bitter?" No. "Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear
olive berries?" Of course not. That's what just--that's what
Jesus--we just read when Jesus saying that. "Either a vine,
figs? So can no fountain both yield salt and--saltwater and
fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?
let him show out of a good conversation," let him show out
of good--good conduct, a good conversation, spirit, soul,
body, words. "--his works with meekness and wisdom," his life
of faith, in other words. "But if you have bitter envying and
strife in your heart, glory not, and lie not against the truth."
Shut your mouth! If there's a bunch of bitterness in there,
shut your mouth! Don't be--don't be spewing that--cursing that
putrid stuff out your mouth. No. No. What does the Word of God
say? Let--don't let bitterness come out of your mouth.
Be "tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for
Christ's sake has forgiven you," for this--for the sake of
Christ, for the sake of the anointing. Amen. Now, follow me.
Just keep your mouth shut. No, no, no. Don't be doing that.
What are we doing? We're making a move now to tame this tongue.
We've got to reprogram it. We've got to take authority over it
with the name, the blood, and the Word of God. "This wisdom
descends not from above--" What? The root of bitterness, bitter
envying and strife. Put a stop to it now. It's like having
a--it's like having a cobra in your kitchen. It's like having a
diamondback rattlesnake in the crib with your baby. It's that
serious. "This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly,
sensual." It's of the five senses. It's--(Pouting) "I feel
bad. I want to talk like I feel. You talk to me like that one
more time, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm so sick and tired
of you. You make me sick to my stomach. I just don't know
what--I just--you know, I just stay--I just stay sick all the
time." Well, of course, you do. Now listen. "For where envying
and strife is, there is confusion," there is babble,
"and every evil work." "Even though I speak with the tongue
of men and angels and have not love, I am nothing but a lot of
noise." You go right down through that 13th chapter
of I Corinthians. You just got through giving us the nine
manifestations of the Holy Spirit, the nine gifts of the
Spirit, then He goes into the 13th chapter and starts--and He
tells you, here's what happens when you--you're doing all
of--you can stand up and give messages in tongues just day and
night and day and night, but it--if you're over into this,
you're into strife and all that kind of stuff, you might as well
be standing there just banging the bottom of a--of a pot for
all the good it does. And go down through there, and you'll
find every gift of the Spirit that He listed over here killed
because of not walking in love. Now, "The wisdom that is from
above--" Now, Luke 11:49, Jesus called the written Word the
wisdom of God. "The wisdom that," the Word of God that
"--is from above is first pure--" ha-ha "--peaceable,
gentle, it's easy to be entreated, it is full of mercy."
Oh, ho-ho, aren't you glad? "--it is full of--" "Oh, God, I
repent. I put Your Word in my heart and in my mouth in Jesus'
name. Put a watch over my mouth that I don't sin against you
with my tongue." Mm. "--easy to be entreated, full of mercy and
good fruit--" glory to God "--it is without partiality." That
means anybody can put the Word of God to work at any time.
"Whosoever shall--shall say unto this mountain--"
ha-ha-ha-ha--hallelujah! "Therefore I say unto you, What
things soever you desire, when you pray, believe you receive
them, and you shall have them. But when you stand praying,
forgive." Can you see it? Well, now, sure you can. Listen to
this one: "It's full of mercy, full of good fruit, without
partiality, without hypocrisy." What does that mean? My nose is
running, you know, my face is red. I've got 102 temperature,
and I said, "I'm healed. Glory to God, I'm healed." "Well, you
hypocrite, everybody can see you're not." "No, no, I'm not a
hypocrite because I'm speaking the Word of God. I'm not trying
to get you to believe that I'm healed." Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. I
bet I helped somebody right then, I know. Glory to God. And
it "is sown in peace of them that make peace." Glory to
God. Isn't that rich? I'll be back in just a moment.
