Jesus, the Word, brought about the Creation of everything, along with the new creation (us) and the Law of the Spirit of Life which is in Christ Jesus. God's Own Word will uphold all that He has said for it to do, but we must appropriate what has been forever settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89 tells us that "God's Word is forever settled and stands by its Own authority in heaven and cannot be altered." When we choose to speak and act on God's Word, it cannot fail.
Romans 8:2 tells us that the Law of the Spirit of Life, which is in Christ Jesus, is God's Word. When we speak it, it is Life. When we walk it, it is Life. When we preach it, it brings Life. God "watches over His Word to confirm it by attesting signs and miracles," according to Mark 16:20. God isn't obligated to fulfill our words, unless they are His Words. We've constricted God's willingness to move on our behalf,by contrary or willful speech that opposes His Word.
When we pray or speak in the Name of Jesus, we must understand that Jesus and the Word are One and the Same. You cannot separate the two, so when we pray in the Name of Jesus, we are praying the Word and will of God. God's Word and His will are the same thing. When we know what God's Word says about something, we can know what God's will is about that thing. When we know it's His will and His Word, then we can have the confidence found in 1John 5:14-15 (Amplified), "And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him' (we are sure) that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His Own place) He listens to and hears us. And if (since) we (positively) know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know (with settled and absolute knowledge) that we have (granted us as our present possessions) the requests made of Him."
We new creation people, we are called to walk as Ambassadors from our Kingdom of God, into this kingdom of darkness. We don't conduct ourselves only by the laws of the land, but supersede them by a higher law. When we pray in the Name of Jesus or walk in the Name of Jesus, we must understand that Jesus and the Word are One and the Same. Using His Name, without knowing His Word, can and will negate our prayers and short circuit our usefulness for Him.
When we use the Name of Jesus, without knowing His Word, then He has nothing to bring about as far as confirmation. When we think and believe that He is unable to heal, bless, work or bring about the things His Word said, we have negated His ability to move on our behalf. That is because He and the Word are still One. 1John 5:7 (Amplified) says, "So there are three witnesses in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these Three Are One."
We can't pray in the Name of Jesus, in contradiction to the Word (which is the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus) and expect what we pray to be confirmed and to fruition. As new creation citizens, we haven't learned the Laws that govern our new citizenship, but continue trying to find success by the old standards of life. These laws do not work in our new life and citizenship of the heavenlies. It's possible to be living in America, without knowing the laws that govern our nation. You can still be a citizen and not have things work for you, as they were intended. You can also be a citizen of America and try imposing your own set of rules or laws , resulting in trouble and difficulty.
We find that many have come here to America, who fail to assimilate to our laws and customs, resulting in trouble. We cannot impose what we want the laws to be, onto what God has declared it shall be. His Word, or His laws that govern, are established in heaven for all eternity. It doesn't matter how hard we cry or try begging God to do something, if we're not asking according to the laws that govern, then He will not change it. Isaiah 59:21 (Amplified) says, "As for Me, this is My covenant or league with them, says the Lord; My Spirit, Who is upon you (and Who writes the Law of God inwardly on the heart) And My Words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your (true spiritual) children, or out of the mouths of your children's children, says the Lord, from henceforth and forever."
If God altered one part of His Word, even for us, then we would never be sure that He wouldn't altar another part for some other reason. This would bring about the uncertainty of His Word and our not trusting it from henceforth. The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, is the Law of God's Word to the new creation man. We are to know Him by His Spirit, to where we only "speak what we hear the Father tells us and what the Father says," just like Jesus did. This is the law of the new creation.
