Hi and welcome back to the word power
podcast. This is Michael Duver,
and I got a inspirational
minute here for you.
I was, on the phone with a real
estate agent just now and I was explaining
how this word want
has killed
many different
real estate deals. People say that they want
to get it they want the real estate
deal to get closed.
A few years ago, in case in point,
there was it was a big deal. A
big real estate deal and there was a
discrepancy between the appraisal
and
there was
on both parties. They were like getting antsy
And the real estate agent who was listing
the house, I was representing this buyer,
okay, upwards of $1,000,000
and I said
he said to me on the phone, he
goes well Mike, you know we both want
it to close, don't we?
And I said, no. We don't.
He didn't hear me. He just kept on
talking.
Because in translation,
he just spoke out. He said, Mike,
we both lack are in an and are
impoverished
and are gonna fail at and are gonna
come short of the goal
of this closing. And I said, no. We're
not.
It ended up closing
perfectly.
The appraisal was adjusted
and
it went to close.
I was listening to my favorite preacher yesterday,
and this is over the years I've noticed
that
I can go into a church. I can
talk to
the people in the pews.
I can tell them about I shall not
want and they get it. The light comes
on.
Right?
Some people still look at me like a
deer at headlights,
but the majority are getting it. And then
when I go to the pastors
and try and explain this to them, it
goes right over their heads.
And they just don't get it and that
has puzzled me over the years.
What I think
is going on
is that, yes, they believe in the power
of words,
but they've got like this huge church where
they're getting money coming in.
Right?
And they think well what we're doing is
working for us so we don't have to
change anything
and they don't change.
I didn't I haven't been able to talk
to
many ministries
about this. Now Norville Hayes, when he was
still alive,
I got to spend a little time with
him, and he was helping me promote my
book.
And I was listening
to this preacher yesterday,
and they're on the they're on air. They're
saying God wants you to be rich. God
wants you to do well.
I want you to be
successful.
And you know, I tell you what, after
all of these years, even just that sentence
that I just said to you. Okay? I
and want
you to be successful.
It just grieves me on the inside because
I know exactly what I'm
what I'm saying. You know, when I when
I tell people this
and they just kinda look at me strange,
and I I would just immediately tell them,
I said, you know what? This absolutely
makes sense to your spirit, but your brain
is having a hard time figuring this out.
And that might be with you who's listening.
Right? Here I got a newsletter from, a
well known,
minister.
But here's here in, you know, and they
put a card in with the
newsletter and it says God wants you well.
Well does he really?
Do they under see they don't understand what
they're writing here and that's why I'm here.
This is why I'm exposing. This is why
I created the podcast and I wrote the
book because I'm trying to get this
and getting this truth out to the world.
Okay?
So let's look at that. God wants you
rich like I heard on the broadcast yesterday.
Okay?
And, you know, in this newsletter, God wants
you well. So what are they saying?
This is what they're saying.
God is deprived
of. God is deprived of. He is lacking.
He is coming short.
God is deprived of. He is he's lacking
you being well. He's deprived of you being
well.
He is coming short of you being well.
He's impoverished of you being well. This is
what that translation says. This is what the
translation says. Okay? Or like the pastor yesterday,
he said God wants you rich.
No. He doesn't.
Okay? Because what does what does God wants
you rich really mean?
It's it's the translation of the of the
definition of the word want.
Okay?
God
what they're saying is god is impoverished. He's
lacking. He's deprived of. He's coming short of
achieving the goal of you being
rich.
Okay? You being well.
God wants you whole. No. He doesn't. I
tell you what, when I when
I go to a church
and got and the pastors are talking like
that, I just have to sit there and
say, no. No. I don't wanna be rich.
I don't wanna be well. I don't wanna
be wealthy.
I don't
want favor.
Okay?
I don't want,
you know,
anything. Whatever they're saying, I'm canceling it out
because I know what they're saying.
Here is another
magazine I got from another ministry that I
support.
The
article was reading
let me flip back with it. How to
be oh, it's
born to be victorious,
and at the end
the author writes this.
Bottom line, the decision is yours.
Now listen to this.
Do you want
to walk with God in victory
or to be overcome
by the world?
K?
Again,
the word want means poverty, lack, and destitution.
It has never stopped
meaning poverty, lack, and destitution,
or producing
poverty, lack, and destitution. So the question that
is being asked you in this magazine,
and me, is do you lack
and are impoverished?
Are you impoverished
to walk in with god
in victory? Now most people without this knowledge
of the word want,
not meaning desire,
would answer
yes.
They want
to walk with God in victory.
Okay?
So that that was another example.
I gotta tell you as as well, the
other day, I have a a lady
real estate agent in my office,
Doris,
and I taught her how to talk. I
gave her a copy of the book. She
read the book. So she comes waltzing in
the office and she goes, I shall not
want. I shall not want. And I said,
Doris
do you want more listings? And she said,
yes.
And I go
it was a trick right? I'm trying to
teach her how to talk.
And so I said, Doris do you really
want more listings?
And she's like her the her eyes like
open wide, right?
And she go, no, I don't want more
listings.
Right? That's that's that is how we've been
tricked into
talking poverty
out of our mouths.
Okay. We got to learn how to use
that word the correct way.
And King James
is
the way that
we have
you know that that still to me is
the closest to the original.
Right? I know that there's the Geneva,
the Geneva Bible that came over on the
Mayflower.
See, I'm gonna I'm gonna touch on different
translations. And right now,
for example, in the book of John,
chapter 10 verse 29 for example,
and this is where the confusion comes into
churches, but pastors don't under stand this. And
I'm after
trying to reach pastors to teach them
to talk right.
K.
For example, they're promoting these translations of the
Bible that are written in air.
I wouldn't like to be those people that
translated these bibles on judgement day. No way.
For example, in John 10:29,
the new King James version.
Okay. New King James.
It says, you know, it's the man
who's talking to Jesus. He said, and he
wanting
to justify himself.
As if the word now means would like.
But in King James, it says what does
it say? He willing
to justify himself.
There's a difference. A huge difference. Right?
I will something
and versus the want word.
Okay? I'll get into more translations because it's
like every translation
out there
that I have come across,
except for King James,
have,
been translated
incorrectly.
Okay? Like,
I'll give you another example here.
Well the NIV
to begin with,
this is just my opinion but feel free
to just use it as
just throw it out.
Unless you're aware of this and you understand,
like in NIV,
for example,
Matthew 18:11
is missing from the NIV version. In King
James, it says for the son of man
has come to save that which was lost.
What is wrong with that verse
that NIV
has thrown it out?
I'm gonna jump on NIV again. Romans 10:10.
Okay. This is where
a man believes in his heart that god
raised him from the dead and shall confess
his with his mouth the lord Jesus, he
shall be saved. For with heart man
believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.
Listen how watered down the NIV is on
Romans 10:10. It says,
for it is with your heart that you
believe and are justified,
and it is with your mouth
that you profess your faith and are saved.
Well, there's a little bit of truth in
there.
K. But it's missing this whole thing about
salvation.
And, while I'm on the NIV, I'm gonna
go to Hebrews chapter 4 verse 1. I
talked about it before,
in King James it says, let us therefore
fear lest a promise being left us of
entering into his rest, any of you should
seem to come short of it.
In NIV,
it says, therefore,
since the promise of entering his rest still
stands,
let us be careful that none of you
be found to have fallen short of it.
Sounds almost correct. Right?
But let's
look at the word careful.
Okay. What does the word careful mean? This
is in my book too. This is another
word. I'll just give this to you as
a as a golden nugget here. I learned
this from Ken Copeland ages ago and he
said
he said and he talked about the word
care.
The word care is translated
mental pain.
And I like what Ken Copeland said because
he said,
listen to how the world talks
and then talk the opposite way. And what's
the what's the general greeting a lot of
people say even on the phone? Take care.
Take care, Mike. Take
care. That while they're hanging up on the
phone with me. Right? Take care. I'll hang
up, and I'll say, no. Thank you. I'm
not taking mental pain.
Because what is it? Peter says, casting all
your care on the lord for he cares
for you.
Now that word,
right, in Greek,
you go back up to when Jesus was
talking to Martha. He said, Martha, Martha, thou
art careful about many things.
That same word careful and care
all they they have the same meaning, mental
pain. Okay?
So here in NIV, it's like words don't
matter in NIV.
Here's here's another one. All these translations are
coming out. Right? I guess today I'm talking
about translations.
But all of these other Bible translations are
coming out of the woodwork.
Right? Now I have Jewish friends back in
Canada
and they've got the Torah.
Okay? They don't have the passion the passion
Torah. They don't have the new
Torah for everyday mothers.
They don't have the children's Torah. They just
have the Torah.
Okay. Nothing watered down.
Here in here's another word that I expose
in my book.
John 17:10
out of the Passion Translation.
It says,
for all who belong to me now belong
to you,
and all who belong to you now belong
to me as well. And my glory is
revealed
through their surrendered
lives.
Okay?
Surrendered lives.
Let's look at what King James says.
And all mine are thine and thine are
mine, and I am glorified in them.
Nothing about surrender.
The word surrender, I looked it up.
It means to give up as in as
in losing in battle.
And it's interesting
that I could not find in the King
James version of the bible, I could not
find the word surrender
at all.
Okay?
So, you know, that song, they surrender all.
See, I'm not even gonna say I surrender
all because I'm not surrendering.
Jesus said in Ephesians,
stand and having done all this to Christ's
demands, stand. Stand and fight. Fight the good
fight of faith. Fight. Fight. Fight. Right?
Okay?
So the word surrender
is not even found in the whole King
James version.
So what what do we do? We submit
to God,
resist the devil,
and he will flee from us.
I'm getting fired up here just talking. I'm
probably going over my time limit here.
Okay. Back to
Hebrews 6 17 in the NIV version.
Okay. Listen to this. Because God wanted
to make the unchanging nature of his purpose
very clear to the heirs of what was
promised, he confirmed it with an oath.
Okay?
There's there there's the word want.
God wanted.
They're thinking it means desire. They didn't translate
it right. What does it say in King
James?
Wherein god
willing
more abundantly to show unto the heirs of
his promise, the immutity of his council confirmed
it with an oath.
So
be aware. Be aware when you get a
newsletter from a ministry. God bless them. They're
winning souls for Jesus. Okay?
But
watch
what
your
mouth is agreeing to.
If you say that God wants you
rich,
that is an incorrect statement.
God does not want you rich.
Psalm 23 says, I shall not want.
Okay? But you listen to the world just
like Ken Copeland said decades ago. Listen to
the world.
Somebody says I that take care. I go,
no. Thank you. I'm not gonna take care.
And when you get these you go to
church and and the pastor from now on
says, god wants you healed. God wants you
rich. God wants you prosperous. God wants you
this, that, and the other. You just sit
there and just under your breath, just say,
no. He doesn't.
Not anymore.
Right? And he never did. It was it's
it's a lie. It's not true.
Okay? God does not lack you to be
rich. How do you get rich?
Alright? Well, you you you use your talents
and
confession is made unto salvation.
What what does what does what does the
word say? Let the poor say I am
rich.
K? Let the weak say I am strong.
And I mean, I love Norville Hayes because
when he taught people about, you know, getting
out of cancer, he would just he would
get them to just confess. I am strong.
I am strong. I am strong. I am
strong. I am strong. Right?
Anyways,
that's it for today.
And if you like to order my book,
