=== Words That Transform (04:39) ===

[00:00:00]  When your thoughts are right, the thoughts become the seed that are transformational.
[00:00:06]  People say, what's the first thing I should change?
[00:00:08]  And I always say, your thoughts.
[00:00:10]  As a person thinks in their heart, so are they.
[00:00:15]  And we're moving in a moment where we're getting beyond the fruits of sin to the roots of sin.
[00:00:21]  Wow.
[00:00:22]  When you move to the roots of sin, salvation begins to take place.
[00:00:28]  And with it, the number one thing ongoing, everyone talks about me being positive.
[00:00:33]  I'm glad nobody asked my wife that question.
[00:00:36]  She sees the moments that I'm negative.
[00:00:38]  She knows them.
[00:00:39]  They know they're real.
[00:00:41]  I used to be very gifted in sarcasm.
[00:00:47]  Sarcasm used to be my love language.
[00:00:50]  You know, if I was sarcastic with you, it meant I loved you.
[00:00:54]  I trusted you.
[00:00:56]  And then one day the Holy Spirit said, sarcasm is not my love language.
[00:01:00]  Wow.
[00:01:01]  Oh, no.
[00:01:02]  You know, to be able to look at someone who's lost and see Jesus in them, to see a world around me, to look, it changed the way I look at politics, at everything.
[00:01:14]  Can I see Jesus in someone that I totally disagree with and would like to see them voted out of office?
[00:01:24]  That changes the way I have to think.
[00:01:26]  I mean, it doesn't mean that we're not to be active and to do our best to get godly people in right places.
[00:01:34]  But my thoughts, my attitudes, and then they become my words.
[00:01:38]  And as I've said right here, sitting here before, words change the atmosphere.
[00:01:44]  And words not only change the atmosphere, please hear me, they release the prophetic in your future.
[00:01:50]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:01:54]  Words are that that are extraordinary.
[00:01:57]  I love words.
[00:01:58]  Yes.
[00:01:59]  Because words have the power.
[00:02:02]  They may sound strange to you.
[00:02:03]  Words are what make you like God.
[00:02:08]  Words created all this.
[00:02:10]  God spoke.
[00:02:12]  And the Holy Spirit took it and changed it.
[00:02:15]  Can you walk into a room that's so mixed up and messed up and with your words begin to change atmospheres?
[00:02:23]  I do it more at airports.
[00:02:25]  You know, I don't know how many miles I've flown.
[00:02:28]  Close to 5 million with American and a couple of million with others.
[00:02:32]  And with it at airports, there is so much tension and people standing up there and I used to be the worst.
[00:02:39]  I mean, you're going, come on, folks, I got somewhere to go.
[00:02:41]  You know, especially if you've got a thousand people waiting on you.
[00:02:45]  I've had to literally walk on platforms and start preaching from the airport.
[00:02:50]  I've been flying around cities while the church service was starting and talk about that whole thing and begin to use words to seeds that change.
[00:03:03]  That's the power of what you're talking about here.
[00:03:05]  The reason why nations are met.
[00:03:08]  We're in words.
[00:03:11]  Something about the Holy Spirit that you may find very interesting.
[00:03:15]  Do you know what the first empowerment of every child is?
[00:03:20]  Words.
[00:03:23]  Words are the initial evidence of power in English, Russian, Chinese, and in the kingdom of God.
[00:03:30]  You know what Chinese people teach their children?
[00:03:34]  Words.
[00:03:36]  And the moment that child starts speaking Chinese, we go, that's my baby.
[00:03:41]  That's my child.
[00:03:43]  You know why?
[00:03:44]  It's the first initial sign of empowerment.
[00:03:47]  Wow.
[00:03:48]  Wow.
[00:03:50]  And in the kingdom of God, wouldn't God give his children words?
[00:03:54]  Yes.
[00:03:55]  Not the words that your parents gave you, words that are of the Holy Spirit, words that change everything.
[00:04:01]  And that's the whole thing.
[00:04:02]  Hate speech has become the key phrase to throw at somebody you don't like what they're saying.
[00:04:11]  I grew up in the 60s.
[00:04:13]  I'm sorry.
[00:04:14]  Forgive me for those of you who are not going to like what I say.
[00:04:17]  If you think the words are bad now, you should have hung out with my generation.
[00:04:22]  I'm serious as I can be.
[00:04:23]  The protest, Vietnam, all the movement.

=== Words That Changed America (00:32) ===

[00:04:28]  I know you're going to dislike me and somebody disqualify me.
[00:04:30]  I remember when I had hair here and here and thought I was cool.
[00:04:37]  Bell bottoms.
[00:04:39]  Oh.
[00:04:39]  But you know what?
[00:04:40]  Those words changed America.
[00:04:43]  We didn't get afraid of the words.
[00:04:46]  We learned how to use them supernaturally.
[00:04:49]  And right now we're in one of those moments that the power, what they're trying to do is the Bible has the power to change the atmosphere.
[00:04:56]  Amen.
