The Loaded Heart
Foundation Statement: To speak with power that
changes natural things you’re going to have to speak from a loaded heart instead
of a loaded head
I. The power is in believing (Mark
11:23)
A.
The power is not in saying only, but it’s in
saying AND believing
1.
You not only have to say something --- AND
--- you have to do something else
a.
Power to change natural things requires that
you speak AND believe
2.
23,24-What must you believe? U have to believe
u have it & that it will come to pass
a.
Power to have what you say comes when you
believe that you have what you say and you believe it will manifest
3.
Believe-Be persuaded-When you speak words from a
heart full of fully persuaded singled minded faith you will have what you say
a.
You have to be fully persuaded that you have
it & that it will come to pass
b.
Doubt-Being uncertain & wavering in your heart
will keep this from working-Heb 10:23
B.
When your mouth works independent of your
heart there’s no power in what you say
1.
A parrot can talk, but his words have no
power to change natural things b/c he has no spirit; Christians have been like
parrots
2.
You must have it in your heart in abundance
for it to come out your mouth in power
a.
You have to have fully persuaded
single-minded faith in heart for your words to have power
II. The Loaded Heart
A.
Matthew 12:33-37
1.
If a man is going to bring something good
forth with is mouth he must load his heart
a.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
is going to speak
b.
You’re going to have to load/furnish your
heart in abundance
2.
To speak words that change natural u have to
speak from your spirit; not ur head
a.
To speak from your spirit/heart you have to
load it first
b.
That’s like thinking you grab a handful of
bullets throw them at a target and have the same effect as a gun
c.
The way you load the gun with bullets is the
way you have to load your heart/spirit with the Word
3.
Loading your heart means you’re developing
your faith
a.
A loaded heart is one that believes that what
it says will come to pass
b.
Loading ur heart
will enable u to speak as a spirit being in faith the way God did
B.
How to load the heart-Proverbs 4:20-24
1.
The mind is the gateway to the heart; What
you give your eyes and ears to you give your mind to and it will get into your
heart
2.
It’s very important that you use your words
to load your heart
C.
There is power in every word you speak
whether you believe it when you say it or not
1.
Proverbs 15:4-Perversness in your tongue will
hurt, break, crush your spirit
2.
Proverbs 16:24-Plesant words are sweet to the
soul-Words effect your soul
3.
The more you say it, the more you believe it
& when you believe what you say it will come to pass
III. A speaking Spirit
A.
When you start speaking out of your heart, in
faith, you’re operating totally out of your spirit
1.
That’s why you must believe and that’s why it
must be in your heart in abundance because when it is you begin to operate your
spirit
B.
Where did this natural world come from?
1.
God, who is a Spirit, spoke words, &
believed that what he said would come to pass and created every natural thing
(Psalm 33:6)
a.
John 4:24-A spirit being spoke words and created this natural world; not a
natural head, but a spirit being
b.
God used His words and His faith and created
the natural world (Hebrews 11:3)
c.
The natural came from the spiritual –
God, who is a spirit, speaking
2.
Spirit has dominion/control/power over
natural
a.
The creator always has dominion over the
creation
1)
EX: A car is created by a man and therefore
is subject to a man
b.
The natural was created by spirit and
therefore is subject to spirit
1)
That’s why Jesus could walk on water b/c he’s
spirit; that’s why he could multiply the fish and loaves; that’s why he could
walk through angry people unharmed; that’s why he could touch a leper and not
get leprosy because he’s a spirit
operating as a spirit through a body above the natural
2)
He’s not subject to water, natural lack,
death, leprosy; they’re subject 2 him
c.
The more you learn to operate out of your
spirit the more dominion you’ll operate in, in the natural realm
1)
Satan wants you governed by your flesh
because it keeps you from dominion
C.
This natural world was created by words; Words
become things
1.
Words are seeds and the job of a seed is to become
(Luke 8:11, Mark 4)
a.
Jesus is talking about speaking words to
people & having those words become
b.
The words he speaks gets in the hearts,
they’ll say it out their mouths and it’ll come to pass in their lives
c.
What he speaks is going to become something in
the natural realm
2.
Gen 3:15, Is 53, 9:6, Jer
23:5, Lk 1,Jn 1:14-Words became physical flesh
a.
There’s something to be said here about men
speaking these words
b.
Men got this in their heart and spoke it out
their mouths
3.
Proverbs 4:22, Psalm 107:20-Words became
physical healing to flesh
4.
John 8:32-Words become physical freedom
5.
Mark 4:35-Peace was words first. Be still was words first. Words became.
6.
Mark 11:12-Words became a cursed tree
7.
1 Samuel 17:45-Words became victory
8.
Daniel 3:16-Words became deliverance
D.
Things created by God’s Spirit, God’s faith
and God’s words can be changed, altered, and controlled by God’s spirit, God’s
Faith, and God’s words; God made you (spirit) in His image, gave you His faith,
& gave you His words
1.
9-God created the sea and dry land with His
Words-Mark 11:23, Mark 4:35

made by His words-Mark 7:33
E.
Genesis 2:7-Speaking-spirits-We were created
to believe, speak and have it
1.
Natural things respond to speaking spirits
2.
Your heart is also known as your spirit
a.
When you get the word in your heart/spirit in
abundance then you’ll speak words from your spirit and not your head and
natural things will respond
3.
When we load our heart with the word and
speak from our spirit in faith we can change natural things with our words
a.
Things haven’t been responding to our words
b/c we’ve been speaking from our head or an unloaded heart
4.
Joshua 1:8, 10:24-Joshua loaded his heart day
and night and spoke to the moon and sun as a speaking spirit in faith and it
obeyed him
F.
You have to have faith in the power of your
words (as result of these words-23)
1.
You have to have faith in your faith (as a
result of these words)
2.
Faith in my faith and faith in my words is
the result of my faith in Jesus b/c he said my words and my faith could move
mountains
