We've been learning about the power of words coming from God's children. As we speak His Word, He will perform it. Jesus was anointed by God to speak only certain things and because He only spoke God's Word, everything Jesus said came to pass. Jesus said in John 3:34 (Amplified), "For since He Whom God has sent speaks the Words of God (proclaims God's Own message) God does not give Him Him Spirit sparingly or by measure, but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit."
Most of us think that the things Jesus did, He did because He was God's Son. According to God's Own Word, things happened because Jesus spoke God's Word. God does nothing without His Word in this earth, according to John 1:1-4 (Amplified) which says, "In the beginning (before all time) was the Word (Christ) and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself." Verse 2 says, "He was present originally with God." Verses 3-4 go on, "All things were made and came into existence through Him, and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men."
Hebrews 1:1-3 (Amplified) tells us, "In many separate revelations (each of which set forth a portion of the truth) and in different ways God spoke of old to (our) forefathers in and by the prophets. (But) in the last of these days He has spoken to us in (the Person of a ) Son, Whom He appointed Heir and Lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time. (He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order). He is the Sole Expression of the glory of God (the Light-Being, the out-raying or radiance of the Divine), and He is the perfect imprint and very Image of (God's) nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty Word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the Divine Majesty on High."
God used the prophets of old to speak His Word into the earth. Once the Word was spoken, God could then move and bring that Word to pass in the earth. Genesis 18:17 (Amplified) says, "And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham (My friend and servant) what I am going to do? Since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through him, and shall bless themselves by him?"
God's prophets spoke His Word into the earth and He could then perform what He had declared or create what His Word had declared. It didn't matter whether Abraham or Jesus spoke God's Word, once His Word is in the land, God could create and bring His Word to pass in the land, like in the beginning. When God spoke forth the heavens and earth, there was no one else to speak His Word into the earth. Once He gave the power and dominion over into the lives of Adam and Eve, God needed someone else to speak it into being.
Genesis 1:17-18 (Amplified) says, "So God created man in His Own Image, in the Image and Likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them and said to them, be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it (using all its vast resources in the service of God and man) and have dominion over the fish of the sea; the birds of the air; and over every living creature that moves on the earth everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied (it) Amen (so be it)."
Did you notice how God only confirmed the Word they preached? God confirmed "the message and Word by the attesting signs and miracles" Could it really be that we don't see many "signs and miracles" following us because we don't speak or preach His message and Words? God only confirmed what His Word said and then signs and miracles were the result of their salvation.
What are we saying in our own Christian lives? Are we speaking His Word over and into our lives or are we speaking other things? If we would simply watch over our conversation to establish what God said and speak only according to His Word, would things begin changing in our lives? I believe so!
God used to speak to us by His prophets, but now, in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son Jesus, Who is His Word. God uses His Word to create all things His people need, including miracles, healing, peace, deliverance and power. His promise has covered all these things if we speak in line with His Word.
