Pastor Darrell Harrelson

There is no such thing as the brotherhood of man. Every person born into this world is born as a child of Satan. Satan is there father because of Adam's sin. We do not become the children of God until we accept Jesus as our personal Savior and Lord. Then God becomes our Father and we are joint heirs with Jesus.

Our minds and our spirits need to be programmed just like a computer. Jesus said that out of the abundance of our hearts our mouths would speak. If our program is garbage, then that is what will come out of our mouths.

Very few Christians truly understand the Fatherhood of God. In this series of teachings Pastor Harrelson will reveal to us what fatherhood is and help us to understand our proper relationship to God, our Abba Father.

We must allow the Word of God to prevail in our lives. When we have the Word in our hearts in abundance, we will start speaking the Word. When we speak the Word, faith for the Word comes, allowing us to overcome in every area of our lives.

God wants us to prosper as our understanding of His Word prospers (increases). His Word says that whatever we put our hands to will prosper but we have to put our hands to something. God wants us wealthy to establish His Kingdom upon the Earth.

The prevailing word helps us to love. God's love is unconditional so our love should be unconditional.

Jesus took and bore our sicknesses and diseases so that we would not have to. If you can only believe, healing is already yours.

The Word of God needs to always be on our lips. It is safe for us to only speak the Word. The Word will change our lives. The Word helps us to love. Love was the prevailing power that ruled the early church.

Praise is extolling God for what He has done. Worship is extolling God for who He is. Clapping is not for God. Clapping is to remind the devil that we've won and he's a loser.

The Word prevails over our senses. Abraham against (natural) hope believed in (supernatural) hope that he would become the father of many nations. His hope served as the blueprint for his faith. Faith is what brings your hope into reality.

It is okay to lift your hands and your voice to praise the Lord. He is worthy to be praised. If we don't praise Him, the Earth will respond. The rocks will cry out. Aren't you better than a rock? Then be willing to give God more praise than He could get from a rock.

The spoken word will always have an affect in/on those that believe. Faith causes the Word of God to prevail. True faith calls things that are not as though they were. It does not call things that are as though they were not. For example, if you have a disease in your body, you don't deny that the disease exists but you call healing and health to your body by focusing on the Word and what Jesus accomplished through His death, burial and resurrection denying the the right of the disease to remain in your body.

Praise and worship is a type of prayer. In Psalm 22:3, David states that God inhabits the praises of His people. If you want to immediately involve God in your circumstances, start praising Him -- not for the circumstances but acknowledging that He has already given you the victory over the circumstances.

The Word of God when spoken by believers will prevail over any situation. Wherever the Word prevails, growth and increase (spiritual and natural) will occur.

When born again, spirit-filled Christians, speak in other tongues, they are speaking to God so no man understands - including them - what is being said. They are speaking the Word in a mystery or divine secret which cannot be messed with by the devil or man. They are speaking the perfect will of God.

Christians don't have weaknesses. They have strongholds. Praying the Spirit can help you get rid of strongholds.

The Word of God will produce whatever you need in life but you have to speak the Word. You will have what you say according to the Word of God. Train yourself to speak words of faith (God's Word) instead of words of doubt, unbelief, and fear.

Prayer, regardless of what type, is spiritual; which in turn affects the spiritual realm and the natural realm in which we live.

Everything you hear affects your faith either positively or negatively.

Hitting and missing the Word will affect your spiritual growth no matter how spiritual you may think you are. If you think that is ok to only go to church occasionally, you really don't want the Word and you really don't want to grow in the things of God so don't be upset when you are not experiencing the fullness of God's promises.

One way to show Jesus that you love Him is to be a doer of the Word.

God is looking for faithful and committed people. People who are not wishy-washy. You say you want to help in the ministry but your attendance is spotty. If you are not committed to the little things, you won't be committed to the bigger things.

God's Word is not only true but it is the Truth. If we truly believe that God's Word is final authority then we can receive the truth of His Word. For instance, by Jesus' stripes we were healed.

Pastors are accountable unto God for those who have chosen to be submitted to them - submitted to their authority. They watch for your soul.

You cannot build a person up spiritually on philosophies, theories, theories about the Word, or even on the history of the Word. We are only made spiritual by living in the Word and the Word living inside of us.
