| Words make a difference. The Truth is the Truth whether it is spoken or not. But, its power is released when it is spoken.
In the first occurrence of the word 'word' the Lord clarifies His preferred relationship with man.
In the second occurrence of the word 'word' the Lord clarifies who the heir of the promise was:
And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.  Isaac is promised. |
He further clarifies His relationship to us to be communicated among us:
!insert 19:61
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. |
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? |
For the word of the Lord is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  |
Jesus answered and said unto them, Truly I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done. |
The Word Of The Lord is powerful. When we speak the Word Of The Lord with the authority of the Holy Spirit it accomplishes God's will.
We are the Lord's voice and hands in this age of the world. If we don't speak, if we don't touch, there is no power released to change lives.
Let Christ manifest through you! Speak to Him. Speak of Him.
All words have power, even the words of Satan and his children.
When we were unregenerated we were at the mercy of all words whether good or evil.
The Truth sets us free from the power of words which conflict with the Truth.
Cruelty, pride, one-up-man-ship and outright hate are not going to disappear. Our only defense against such is the knowledge of the Truth.
→ I am accepted in the beloved. → I am complete and secure in Him. → I need no one else's approval, support or encouragement.
Each of us must enter into the strength of standing in Christ Jesus or we will be at the mercy of the unregenerate who use words to steal, kill and destroy at their father's behest.a |
