Put Life IN
John 6:63

Occasionally at my workplace, there are three words spoken that can ultimately ruin my day: “I Brought Donuts!”
For me, something like this may sound good, but ultimately puts me in a weakened state.

Sometimes we just feel depleted. Our batteries run down.
? Do we have the resources to accomplish what needs to be done?
Prov 24:10: If you show yourself weak on a day of distress, your strength is too small.

KEY to having energy: Put Life IN
Quality Nutrition. A Green Drink. Organic fruit has Life Force in it

Raised with the wisdom of good nutrition for the body – and for the soul

In the realm of Physics, we are pure energy. We are vibration.

Quantum Physics revealed that our faith – our beliefs – actually affect the shape of the smallest parts of the atom.

Our world (personal and otherwise) is shaped for better and for worse
by the power of WORDS.
(historically, words have set the course…)

Words have Power. How are words shaping YOUR life?
Word are Seeds.
If you don’t like your current HARVEST – it’s time to plant a different SEED.

Maybe you doubt the power of words to make your life better.
…but here is what know you probably already know:
Words have had the power to hurt you… to put your life in a depressed and defeated state. Maybe even for many years. Words can crush us.

Words are seed. ?What has been planted in your heart so far?
Can you start to plant a new seed today?

“What gives life is God's Spirit; human power is of no use at all. The words I have spoken to you bring God's life-giving Spirit.”


It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

Last week we talked about “commonality”

Galatians 3:26: For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Let’s all continue to grow together in our faith.

Words of blessing – especially from God’s Word - spoken in faith by a True Believer - can have an amazing impact on our lives.

Sadly, there are many who can only relate to hearing destructive, criticizing or condemning words that may have torn apart at the soul level.
Those words create in us the exact opposite of what we want to experience.

They rob us of the joy – the victory – the chance to do the greater works for the Lord

Dr Joe Dispenza: “Something as simple as moving into an elevated state of joy, love or gratitude for five to ten minutes can produce significant epigenetic changes in our health.”

The good news today is that there is an answer. There is a healing.

Prov 25:11: A word spoken at the right time is like fruit of gold set in silver.

GOD’s Word has the Power to break the strongholds of past injuries that you always thought you could ever break free from.

Our world is shaped (molded) by WORDS.

Prov 18:21: Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it, shall eat the fruit thereof.

What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words.


Shaped like clay.
Lump of clay What can I (personally) do with a lump of clay? Ash try?

In the hands of the Master Potter, that lump of clay can become a masterpiece.
A priceless thing.
“The words I speak to you are Spirit and life.
But there are still some of you who won’t believe.”
(are you listening today?)

“If you argue for your limitations you get to keep them.”
Is that really what you want?

We may currently be experiencing the harvest of our past seed planting – but that doesn’t mean we have to continue to plant those same seeds.

Are you planting seeds of doubt? Of fear?

Words are powerful – words are crucial

Taught Wrong = Believe Wrong

This is exactly what we are currently witnessing in our nations now as the poisonous fruit of what universities have been spewing – and now more than ever, it has trickled into mainline church denominations – and these lies are even defended and voted for.

Doubt and unbelief have created this season “Hath GOD said?”

Isaiah 9:16: For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.

Jesus: “These people do not really want to understand. They are like people who have shut their ears. They are like people who have shut their eyes. If they did want to look, then they would really see. If they did want to listen, then they would really hear. They would understand my message. They would turn back to obey me. Then I would forgive them and I would make them well.”  (Matt 13:15)

– all because of the seeds they have planted in their hearts

(John) 1 John 4:5,6: They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.
This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

Don’t go with the flow. It is headed toward destruction
Matt 15:13,14: “…Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

(Good News) There is always a remnant - “the little flock”

Luke 12:32: “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.”

Colossians 2:8: Be sure you are not led away by the teaching of those who have nothing worth saying and only plan to deceive you. That teaching is not from Christ. It is only human tradition and comes from the powers that influence this world.

Colossians 2:8 “Beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic. For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed truths of the Anointed One.”

To keep moving forward, you’re gonna have to release some old aberrant teachings

The word “release” is found 51 times in the Old and New Testament.

- even as we put Life IN – we gotta put the things that lead to death OUT

We have to release them – tear down the lies

“The weapons that we fight with…”
We use these weapons by speaking them – even if only speaking them to ourselves.

Pulling down of strongholds “Complete and total removal of an obstacle”

Speak words over the situations to contradict the enemy of your soul
“Let the weak SAY I am strong”

put Life IN

Words of blessing – especially from God’s Word - spoken in faith by a True Believer can have an amazing impact on our lives.
Jesus said the Spirit of truth… will guide you into all truth.

The Holy Spirit will remind and reveal to us what God is saying to us through His Word.

This message of the New Covenant is one we have to hear with both our ears and our hearts.
Including hearing it coming our of our mouths
Romans 10:8: The Word (God’s message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,

Mark 1:14,15: After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

Repent and Believe

Change your mind. Install a new set of beliefs.

What was is not what is.

This is the Gospel of Grace.

His strength is made perfect in our weakness – but we have to come to Him in repentance.

Heb 13:21 - may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

May the God of peace provide you with every good thing you need in order to do his will, and may he, through Jesus Christ, do in us what pleases him.
And to Christ be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
