Creating Your World

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
of the mouth of God.
Psalm 89:34 - King James Version
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Covenant- blood backed promises
God’s word is his bond/ promises to us
Numbers 23:19 - New King James Version
19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
God doesn’t change His mind when it comes to His word
If He said it; He will bring it to pass
Luke 4:4 - King James Version
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Habakkuk 2:1-4 - New King James Version
1 I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected.
2 Then he Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.
Mark 4:13-14 & vs 20 - New King James Version
13 And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word.
20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
Mark 4:26-29 - New King James Version
26 And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Kingdom of God principle- explains how God the Father made the word become flesh (manifested promises)
The seed / the word grows when we put it in our heart
The word does the work
Man’s heart (where faith starts) is the soil/earth that yields the crop, and the quality of the soil will determine the harvest
Your faith starts to grow stronger when you attach your agreement to God’s Word
His words become flesh just like Jesus
Proverbs 4:23 - New International Version
23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Your heart is where your faith starts
Then you must get your head, mouth, and actions to line up with what God’s word says on the subject
God loves when we come to Him to remind Him of His word
Luke 1:45 - New Living Translation
45 You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”
Mary was blessed & Highly favored, because she believed God would do what He said He would do
Romans 4:16-18 - New King James Version
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be [a]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”
Faith in God’s words (promise) of grace towards us, because of Jesus finished works
God’s principle- He calls things into existence (uses His words)
Abraham believed God’s words would come to pass in His life
