Title: The power of words
Apostle Isaiah Tzedek
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and all creation came forth by the use of words.
Hebrews 11:3 NKJV
[3] By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Spoken words carry immense power to either bring life or destruction. We have been programmed by life to not believe that the words we speak are not important, yet when it comes to our faith, words are central.
Jesus declared, "the words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." When we lack faith, we speak carelessly because we do not honor the weight of words. Words are one of the things that destroy a lot of people's lives.
Our words reveal who we are; they must be thoughtful, truthful and gracious. Words can be a fountain of life, or means we use to dig our own graves. God desires that we use words to redeem what has been lost, for all creation groans, waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.
We tend to personalize our journey around our problems and challenges, forgetting that it is God who preserves our lives. It is God's will, power and purpose working in us so that His glory may be revealed.
Romans 1:17 KJV
[17] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
God is righteous because he is governed by law. He will not move sovereignly without being held by his word. It is important that we take God's word seriously.
Matthew 12:37 NKJV
[37] For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
The spirit of faith operates when you speak the word of God in faith, and it can change an atmosphere when you declare the word. Words are powerful, they could even erase your prayers.
True confession is agreeing with God's word. Everything God has done for you was to set you up to be a witness. We have to witness the truth of God's word. Don't agree with a situation that doesn't agree with the word of God, because words carry spiritual force.
Words are couriers of images. Speak the word of God, begin to see that word, meditate on it, and it will the give you the image that God wants you to see. Faith is the ability to conceive God's word. It was words that brought Jesus here on earth. Isaac and John were also a product of words.
Romans 1:15 NKJV
[15] So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
The issue of preaching the gospel is about lifestyle. Don't be reckless with your words. God will do anything in honor of his word.
