Listening to Kenneth Copeland about the fast key...

God is cleaning up our mouth and our thinking so that he can raise up the power of our words when we speak them.

He tells about the story of a water craft (like a water motorcycle).  There are 2 keys.  There's a fast key and a slow key.  They used to have governors on cars to keep the car from going too fast.

The slow key is designed to keep a person from killing himself or someone else.  God does the same for our mouth.  Our mouths can bring life and death.  We need to learn how to use them.

When Jesus spoke to the fig tree, the fig tree died.  We can do the same.  Jesus said we would.  But we have to learn how.

Sin can not stay in the presence of pure holiness.  This is why the Lord told Moses that he would pass by, but not to look on him.  Moses was not a born again man.  He could not handle the power of the Lord.

On the day of Pentecost, the fire of the holy spirit came on them and they absorbed it.

God wants to give us the fast key.  Calling things that be not as though they were...

I declare today that:

I am feeling awesome today...  I am well, healthy, vital, and strong.  I love all people that God puts into my path.  I love the Lord, I live and breath his word, I say what my father says, I do what my father does, Jesus is my Lord, my example, my teacher, my friend...

People quote that the truth sets us free...  But the better translation is that the truth makes us free.  I need to compare that on scripture text :)

Knowing the truth is about continuing in the word which will allow us to know the truth, and be as free as Jesus is.

I've listened to parts of this message several times.  I understand what Kenneth is teaching.  I used to hate to hear him talk about our mouth and about how we say things like "pain in the butt", "pain in the neck", "I'm just sick to death", and the list goes on and on.  It felt so nit picky that he was trying to say that these things that just about everyone says is making us sick.  But try and stop!  Changing the words of my mouth has been the single most difficult think I've ever tried to do.  2 years into my new lifestyle and I'm still making a lot of mistakes with my mouth.  But I do feel a change is coming.  I KNOW that he's right.
