Because there is power in words, the things we say exercise great influence on people around us. Jesus' spoken word brought.re- sults, as in Mark 5:41-42. When Jesus found no early figs on the tree, He stated it was not to ever bear fruit. Next day they found the tree dried up from the roots. Words are powerful. When some- one says "Damn you" or "To hell with you", they are cursing that person to hell, although they may not realize it. Bezause a curse plac- es a negative inuuence on some- one, cults do this all the time. When a Christian speaks nega- tively to someone especially to children, the words influence the child, or person, negatively, so they will tend to believe that is what they arc really like. Jesus harshly rebuked this prac-' ticc when he said in Matthew 5:22 to call someone a fool is toput yourself in danger of hell. Chris- tians can speak against evil practic- es. Ask God to break up the evil business and evil workings. Chris- tians can ask God to expose and do away with corruption in govern- ment. After the disciples were surprised to sec the fig tree dried up, Jesus taught them on commanding in faith. You do not command God to Single vehicles in two of four crashes Two of the four accidents inves- tigated this week by officers of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police involved. only one vehicle.

But you can command a huge obstacle that stands in the way of God's will to be done to be removed. Jesus exhorted the disci- ples they must- believe, and be in God's will, to exercise spiritual au- thority to tell the obstacle to go. Sunday evening Doug Butler led the song service. Rev. Roger Ma- ggon ministered from .Mark 10:23 - In doing the kingdom work for God, the right workers have to be found. When Jesus told the rich young ruler he needed to give his riches away to the poor to enter the kingdom of God, he went away sor- rowful. Jesus then commented on how hard it was for a person who trusted in riches to enter God's kingdom.
