What do you name the people and situations around you? 🗣👥
Did you know you have the power to create and destroy, just in your words?!
Did you know you have the ability to bring change or keep things the same, just in what you say?!
Let’s go back to the Garden of Eden-
Here’s the Earth 🌍
Here’s the water 🌊
There’s plants 🌱 and trees 🌳
There’s fruit 🍎 there’s vegetables 🌽
Flowers 🌺 sun ☀️ moon 🌙 stars ⭐️
There’s fish 🐟 there’s birds 🦅 there’s land animals 🦓🦍🐆🐑🐫🦌🦚
And now, there’s someone to keep it all running smoothly- his name is Adam 👨!
Adam is the first humankind Son if God to be created (Luke 3:38).
Now picture this-
All these things exist, these animals are alive- but they have no idea who they are!
They don’t know their name. They don’t know their personality. They don’t know what to eat. They don’t know how to act.
Genesis 2:19-20 says this-
“Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field.”
Genesis 2:19-20 ESV
Adam, a man, a son of God is given the right to decide how these animals are supposed to act. He decides what to call them, and what he calls them is what they are!
Adam, at some point, runs into a dog 🐕
Now, remember, this animal has no personality yet. It has nothing but form.
The name Adam gave this animal is (in Hebrew) Kellev “Kel-Leave”. It is translated “dog” but it’s defined as “whole hearted, faithful, and devoted”.
So Adam says to this “dog”-
“You’re faithful! You’re devoted! You’re a whole hearted, life long companion animal!”
Even today, dogs are known as “mans best friend” and life long companions!
Woah! Check that out!
Now check this!
The Word tells us in Proverbs 18:21 that life ✨ and death 💀 are in our words!
Job 22:28 tells us that what we say 🗣 is what becomes reality!
So what are you saying? What names are you calling out? What are you speaking?
If you say “they’ll always be that way”, then guess what? They’ll always be that way!
If you say “Gods moving in them and breaking those chains ⛓”, then guess what? Those chains will be broken! ⛓ 🔨
What you say is what becomes reality!
So, what do you say?
