The Power of the Word
00:03:06

|
| You really don't hardly ever use notes. | |
| You don't, you just, and God just pours it out, and it's the word, the word, the word, the word. | |
| It's the power, people. | |
| The word is all there is when we're what we're coming into. | |
| And there's some mighty things that are going to happen. | |
| We better know the words. | |
| And the word, when you preach in the word, it has power. | |
| It does. | |
| He said, the word that goes out of my mouth will not come back to him void. | |
| It will accomplish the purpose for which he sends it. | |
| And that's what we've got to do, guys. | |
| We've got to study the word. | |
| Now, I'll help you. | |
| Some people say to Bobby, I read the Bible, but I can't retain it. | |
| I'm going to break that off of you because here's a verse that breaks that off of you. | |
| God did not give us the spirit of fear, but love, power, and a sound mind. | |
| The word sound mind there means a mind that can catalog and retain facts. | |
| And I'm telling you, you can memorize the word of God. | |
| It's the only book on the planet that guarantees you success if you'll memorize it. | |
| Joshua 1.8 said, the words of this law shall not depart from your eyes. | |
| You shall meditate upon them day and night, and it will guarantee you overwhelming success. | |
| So we got to learn to memorize the word of God. | |
| Now, the millennials are not going to be wild about this, but let me warn you. | |
| I love studying on the computer. | |
| It's a great tool. | |
| You can't memorize the Bible electronically. | |
| Get you a paperback Bible. | |
| Get where you can run your finger over it and mark on it, and it somehow saturates into your brain better. | |
| Somehow, when you change the tablet, you can't remember what you just read. | |
| Now, I know it's a great tool to use to study fast and pull up all the words, but get you a paper Bible and just wear it out. | |
| People ask me, they go, how did you memorize the Bible? | |
| And maybe I can bring them sometimes. | |
| I've wore out a stack of Bibles. | |
| This is the honesty of God truth. | |
| I studied it till the oil on my fingers wore the print off the page. | |
| Here's what the Lord told me. | |
| He said, you better do that again. | |
| Let me tell you about the Bible. | |
| You never see it twice the same way. | |
| It's like a diamond. | |
| Same diamond. | |
| You get it into another atmosphere, it gives back to you. | |
| Jim, we're in the most revelatory season of any generation. | |
| We're in Matthew 13, 16 and 17. | |
| That verse says, Blessed are your eyes, for they see. | |
| Blessed are your ears, for they hear. | |
| Many desire to see what you see. | |
| Many deeply desired to hear what you hear, but to them it was not permitted. | |
| I want you to know something. | |
| Every morning we are to pray. | |
| Ephesians 1, 17 and 18. | |
| Lord, I pray that the eyes of my heart would be flooded with revelatory light. | |
| I would have a grasp and a comprehension of the ways of God. | |
| So we've got to do that. | |
| But I'm so thankful how that you're a man of God and the word of God flows out of you guys. | |

Through the Flood, Into Provision

|
| I'm thrilled to see this ministry. | |
| I really mean that. | |
| We've been friends for a long, long time. | |
| I want you to know something. | |
| He is stirring the pot. | |
| He's not going to let you slumber through this time. | |
| Listen, we have got to prepare the people for what's coming. | |
| You say, no, Bobby, don't you think everything's going to be all right? | |
| Yeah, it's going to be all right in the end. | |
| When we come through the water, through the flood, he brings us into a wealthy place, a place of his provision. | |
| But I'm telling you guys, we can't just sit by and go, oh, God will take care of it. | |
