A short Sermon I preached in September, 2023
MY WORDS
"And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them." - Deuteronomy 5:1
Ezekiel 3:10, 11 & 16-21,
"Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul."
We are to take the Word of God at His mouth, and my words become His words. You see in Ezekiel verse 21 says even to warn the righteous so he won't sin. It keeps you from turning away.
John 15:7, Jesus, Yeshua said,
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."
The key thing here is:
1) Abiding IN Christ. That's a continual thing. It's not a one time prayer, not church a couple of times a week, not a little here and there when you feel like it, but abiding always. It's a continual thing: Abide in Me, Jesus says.
2) Is His words abiding in you. You're only going to get that from reading the Scriptures and letting His words sink in, and listening to sermons, taking notes, letting His words be a part of you, abiding in you.
Examples:
1) Psalm 119:11,
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
2) Job 23:12,
"Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food."
3) Did not Yeshua say when tempted " It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.?" (Matthew 4:4, and He was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3 there.)
4) Colossians 3:16,
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
MY WORDS THEN, SHOULD BE HIS WORDS !
John 5:24, Hear His words and believe:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
John 6:63,
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
John 8:31-32,
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Romans 10:9-10 & 14 -17,
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
That righteousness there, believing unto righteousness means obeying: obeying the Word.
Now you need to make sure your words are His words because there is a lot of false teaching out there. We need to KNOW His Word, and rightly divide the Word of truth. Look at Jeremiah 23:29-32,
"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD."
Luke 11:28,
"Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."
Do you keep His Word?
1 Samuel 3:19,
"And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground."
That should be our prayer, to be like samuel: everything he spoke was strait solid teaching, and if prophecy, it came to pass, and his word was with integrity. If we profess to believe in Christ then so should our words be.
Revelation 22:17 - 20,
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
I pray that every day, the part that says "Come" as we are the Bride, and the Spirit says Come, and Even so, Come Lord Jesus.
My Words Should Be His Words. For Jesus said in Mark 13:31, "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."
Amen
