Creative Power Of God’s Word

Words are the most important things in the universe.  The Bible has a lot to say about words that we as Christians need to know and understand.  Words were the instruments by which God created all things.

Hebrews 11:3,   Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God…

God’s word is powerful and filled with faith.

Nine times the words, “And God said” appears in Genesis chapter one. Each time God spoke something was created, formed, or made. The worlds came into being, were beautifully coordinated, and now exist by the command of God.

Hebrews 1:3,   …Upholding all things by the Word of His power.

Hebrews 1:3 Amp. …upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power.

Luke 1:37 (ASV).  For no word from God shall be void of power.

God’s word is full of power, creative energy, and life. When God created the universe, He used His word like a carpenter uses his hammer. God builds with His word. When God speaks, His word carry out His every bidding. His word is controlling this universe.

Isaiah 55:11MSG  So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.

Psalms 33:6-9,   By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth…For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

Psalms 119:89-91,   …Thou has established the earth and it abideth.  They continue this day according to thine ordinance; for all are thy servants.

Jesus’ word is powerful and filled with faith.

God is a Spirit.  He wanted us to see Him, to know Him, and to see how to operate in the earth, so He sent a representative of Himself, Jesus Christ, the Son of God!

Hebrews 1:1-3,   God…Hath in these last days spoken to us by His Son…Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His Person…

Jesus is the representative of the substance of God. When you look at Jesus and His life you get a picture of what the Father is like. God wanted all of Himself to be in His Son.

Colossians 1:19,   For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell…

John 3:34,  …He whom God hath sent speaketh the Words of God…

John 8:26, 28,   …I speak to the world those things which I have heard of Him…But as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things.

John 12:49-50,   For I have not spoken of myself but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me commandment what I should say and what I should speak.

Throughout the life and ministry of Jesus, He only spoke the creative, life giving words of His Father. People saw and recognized the power and authority of Jesus’ word.

Luke 4:32,   And they were astonished at His doctrine for His Word was with power.

Creation was established by God’s Words and responded to the words spoken by Jesus. With faith filled words Jesus calmed the raging sea. With faith filled words Jesus raised the widow’s son. With faith filled words Jesus called Lazarus from the tomb. Jesus spoke creative words to the man with the withered hand. Jesus spoke healthy words to the woman with the spirit of infirmity. To the paralytic Jesus’ words were, “Take up thy bed”. In Matthew 8:5-13,  the centurion knowing the authority and power of Jesus’ words proclaimed,  “Speak the Word only and my servant shall be healed”.

The power of God’s word on your lips.

Genesis 1:26-28,   And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness…

God made us in His image so that we could act like Him. To be a Christian is to be Christ like.

Ephesians 5:1,  Be ye therefore followers (imitating, walking like, talking like, acting like) God.

Psalms 8:5NKJ  Thou has made him (man) a little lower than God and did set man over the works of Thy hands.

God gave man dominion over the works of His hands. This dominion was to be exercised through man’s words. Authority in any area is exercised through words. God created all things by His word. Creation responded to those words spoken by Jesus. Jesus says creation will respond to those same words spoken by us.

John 14:12,   ….The works that I do shall you do also…

Matthew 17:20,   …If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Luke 17:6,   …If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

Mark 11:12-14,   …And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves…And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever…And in the morning…they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots…And Jesus…said unto them, Have faith in God…Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall  have whatsoever he saith.

Jesus only spoke what He heard from the Father. God has given us the authority and ability to change things so that we can control and remove anything that stands in the way of the will of God being done.

Mat 18:18-19 CEV  I promise you that God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth, but he will not allow anything you don’t allow.  (19)  I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

Rom. 8:19.MKJV  For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

God performs the words of His servants.

Isaiah 44:24-26,   Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer…I am the Lord…That confirmeth the word of His servant…

Confirm is defined as to make good, perform, establish, make to stand, to make effective, to bind by some formal or legal act, to substantiate, to affirm as having substance, to demonstrate, to verify. Perform is defined as to make prosperous, make good, carry out or execute. Execute is defined as to carry into effect, to fulfill a command, promise, of undertaking, to carry out an order, or to carry through a plan or program. God didn’t say I confirm the word of apostle, evangelist, prophet, pastor, or teacher.  He said, “I perform the word of My servant”.

Job 22:28  You shall also order a thing, and it shall be fulfilled to you; and the light shall shine on your ways.

Joshua commanded (with words) the sun and the moon to stand still. God performed Joshua’s words and stopped the universe.

Joshua 10:12-14, Then spake Joshua to the Lord…and he said…Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.  And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed…

Elijah stopped the rain for 3-1/2 years with words.

1 Kings 17:1,   And Elijah the Tishbite…said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

When your words are God’s word or are in agreement with God’s word, they do not return to you void, but they accomplish that which you and God please and prosper in the thing whereunto you and God send them. Jesus said,  “We are one”.  Therefore, when your words agree with God, they become one with God. When your word agree with God, they become lord over the situation. God works with His word and brings them to pass when spoken in faith!

Mark 16:20  And going out, they proclaimed everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word by miraculous signs following. Amen.

Jeremiah 1:12,   Then the Lord said unto me, Thou hast seen well:  for I will hasten to My Word to perform it.

The word of God must govern your every utterance. The word of God is a weapon we can use against the onslaughts of the enemy and win. The word of God is the Sword of the Spirit. The word of God on your lips is the key to victory and success. The word of God spoken from your heart releases God to work on your behalf. You don’t have to perform it, God will!! When man in faith speaks God’s word that speaking by man becomes God speaking through man. God’s Word on your lips when spoken in faith is just as creative and powerful as God’s Word on His lips.

Matthew 10:20,   For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Revelations 12:11,   And they overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and the Word of their testimony.

Put God’s word in your heart and mouth. When you do, you program yourself for success and victory. Make your testimony line up with God’s word. Speak the desired results in faith and you will see come to pass the result you desire.

 Joshua 1:8,   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou must meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Testimony:

Several years ago my wife began to suffer with abdominal pain that persisted for weeks. When examined by doctors, they found seven fibrous tumors. They told her that she would need surgery to remedy the problem. She decided to go the way of prayer. We got in agreement that God would heal her and that there would be no need for surgery. For thirty days, sometimes four or five times a day, we cursed those tumors and told them that they would have to leave God’s property. We told them to dissolve or disappear, we didn’t care how but leave her body. We reminded satan that he was eternally defeated and that we had authority over his works in Jesus’ name. There was never any fear in us , only faith in God and His word. Thirty days later my wife returned to the doctor for reexamination and they found her body to be free of tumors. Not one was left because God watches over His word to perform it!

 God’s Word Works!
