SPEAKING GOD’S WORD MAKES GREAT THINGS HAPPEN

WEAPONS ASSIGNMENT

JAMES 3:10-12 Out of the same mouth come praise & cursing. My brothers & sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water & salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers & sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

TELL THE STORY OF JESUS CURSING THE FIG TREE IN MARK 11

Why would Jesus curse a tree when the Bible tells us that it wasn’t even the season for figs to be growing? Think about it. Jesus killed that tree with his words. Why? Do you think he was just hungry & angry? Hangry? No, Jesus did this so he could teach us a valuable lesson. Our words are powerful. What we choose to speak matters & makes a difference. Jesus wanted us to know how powerful our words really are. God’s word is perfect & full of promises & when we speak God’s word, it accomplishes great things. God’s word heals, protects, provides, brings joy & peace & so much more. However, when we pray for something & speak God’s word then grumble & complain about the thing we are praying for or praying to change, then that cancels out what we asked for in prayer. If someone is praying for their finances to change, but constantly saying how poor they are then they are speaking a curse on themselves just like Jesus did on the fig tree. If Jesus was just hangry then he could have easily commanded the fig tree to produce big, juicy figs. The disciples already knew Jesus could perform miracles. Jesus wanted us to show us that we have to be very careful with our words & how powerful they are.
