Today, from guest teacher Kyle Eidleman.

So there's this vision that Ezekiel has, that's driving home, this rhythm that God wanted for Ezekiel's ministry in life and God wants for you,

that you listen to what God says, you speak what God says, you watch what God does.

You listen to what God says, you speak out loud what God has said.

With conviction and authority, you speak it out loud, with faith and confidence, you speak it out loud,

and then you watch what God does. You listen, you speak, you watch.

The words you speak out loud are more powerful than the thoughts you think.

Science is confirming what scripture is always taught that spoken words literally rewire your

brain.

Words of death will tear you down, but words of truth have the power to bring

life. Today on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram welcomes guest speaker Kyle Eidelman for a special

lesson on renewing your mind by taking control over what you say. First, here's Chip with some

background for today's study. A number of months ago, I was sitting on a porch with Kyle Eidelman, and we were talking about Christians living like Christians, and why so many people struggle, and our heart's desire to really help them in the areas where they're challenged and failing.

And he said, you know, I was assigned to write a book by my publisher, and I'm going to

talk about the role of thoughts, taking every thought captive, you know, Chip out of

2nd Corinthians chapter 10. I got a copy of the book. Then he taught it live, and I said,

Kyle, could we use this? This is what people need. I've been teaching about mind renewal,

but you've brought some things to this that I've never heard. Would you let us use your teaching? And of course, he said yes, and you are now the beneficiaries of this teaching. You're not just going to love it. It's going to change your life. Thank you, Chip. And now here's our guest teacher, Kyle Eidelman, with his message titled, Say It Out Loud. I want to start off my message by telling you something that's going to seem simple. And some of you're like, well, yeah, that's kind of your thing, Kyle. That's kind of what you do. Well, I know it's going to sound simple. It's going to sound simple enough that you'll probably think to yourself at some point in this sermon, Does this really need to be a whole sermon?

They'll probably sound simple enough that you're tempted to dismiss it and think,

ah, it's interesting, but I'll wait to hear what's next week. I just think that what we're going to talk about in these next few minutes, even though it's simple, has the potential to profoundly impact, not just your

relationship with God, but your whole life, your relationship with other people, how you see

yourself. Here's the idea. Again, it's going to sound simple. A word you speak is more powerful than a thought
