Amen. But the thing that we face is word strategy versus hustle strategy. How many hustlers do I have and people that are just trying to make it, you know, trying to get their hustle on? Listen. Here's what hustle strategy teaches you. Hustle strategy says do more, push harder, grind longer, but word strategy says align deeper. Are you hearing what I'm saying? It says obey quicker. It says trust more fuller or more fully. Hustle, I know this from experience, will burn you out, but word strategy will build you up. And I believe that God wants us to be built up in what he's called us to do. [00:19:56] (49 seconds)  #WordOverHustle Download clip

Joshua's success was not gonna come based on sword skill. It was gonna come based on his submission to God's instruction. The whole Torah, the whole book of the law, not just the battle verses, all of it. God is saying, if my word shapes your life, my power will shape your outcomes. If my word shapes your life, my power is gonna shape your outcomes. So let's get right to it. Here's my first point. What you don't speak won't sustain.

What you do not speak, you won't sustain. What do you mean, pastor Devin? I mean yeah. I still mean this. Silence starves success. What stays in your mouth will stay in your movement. Hear hear me good. If the word is never spoken, it won't be strengthened in your life. You have to understand this. In Hebrew culture, scripture wasn't just read. It was recited. Alright? The word on your lips means the word governing your confession. [00:26:22] (47 seconds)  #SpeakToSustain Download clip

Alright. So let me just give you a little bit of a working definition as we go on because I because I really wanna wanna drill this point home about this word strategy. Let me give you a working definition about what word strategy is. Here it is and you'll see it up on the screen. Word strategy is this, it's ordering your speech, your thoughts, and your actions under God's word so God's power can flow through your life consistently.

But listening to her talk about the importance of the family prayer and how it really aligns you to be able to really win destiny for your family. Joshua listen. Joshua could have defeated Jericho, and he still would have he still could have failed as a leader if his life drifted from God's instructions. You can be successful in what you are called to do or maybe your vocation and still be a failure. Listen. You can even be called to the ministry doing what God has called you to do and still fail if you're not letting God be God over your whole life. [00:17:32] (40 seconds)  #LetGodBeLord Download clip

Here's how they teach about meditation. People most people say, well, I don't know how to meditate. Let me ask you a question. Do you know how to worry? Jesus. I think you're playing preacher. Good. If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. Because when you're worrying, what are you doing? You're just replaying it over and over and over and over. Sometimes the thing that you're worried about hasn't even happened. You plan out situations about the worst case scenario, and it's just running. But now I'm telling you, instead of worrying it, intentionally ruminate. [00:33:42] (42 seconds)  #RuminateNotWorry Download clip

And then finally, what you don't practice, you won't produce. What you don't practice, you won't produce. Look at what it says. Keep this book of Allah. Always on your lips, meditate on it day and night so that you may be, here it is, careful to do everything written in it. Somebody say this, obedience activates outcomes. If you want the outcomes of Jesus in your life, be obedient. If you want what Jesus had, you gotta do what? Do what Jesus did. Don't look for the results when you haven't put in the work.

That's that's a real toolbox. Here's the thing. You can have tools. You can have resources. If I need help, I can call some brothers. I can call Chris. I can call brother Jefferson. I can call brother Milton. I can call pastor Ken. I can call Noah. I can call Tim and say, I need some help in in in in building something, and and and I can have people. I can have the tools, resources, and people. However, if I ignore the blueprint, What I run the problem of is building the wrong thing. Lord, I feel your presence right now. The word of God, my brothers and sisters, is the blueprint. Are you hearing what I'm saying today? And if we ignore the blueprint, we'll end up spending our life building the wrong thing.
