Speak the Word

 

The Word of God says, “Just as the rain and the snow come down from the sky and don’t return there without watering the earth, making it conceive and yield plants and providing seed to the sower and food to the eater, so is My word that comes from My mouth; it does not return to Me empty. Instead, it does what I want, and accomplishes what I intend.”

(Isaiah 55:10-11 CEB)

The Word of God holds inherent power. That is, God’s Word cannot be separated from Who He is, His character, His nature. God is His Word and His Word is Him.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

(John 1:1CEB)

When God speaks, power is released and whatever He says will accomplish its purpose, make no mistake about that.

God said, “Let there be light.” And so light appeared. 

(Genesis 1:3 CEB)

And having been created in God’s image and likeness (Genesis 1:26), we reflect His nature therefore, when we speak God’s Word, in faith, power is also released and that power can change our circumstances.

Your reward depends on what you say 

(Proverbs 12:14 GNT)

You see the Word is truth and the truth sets us free (see John 17:17 & 8:32); free from bondage, sickness, depression, fear, loneliness, temptation, bitterness, anger, doubt, despair, worry, addiction, loss, and other negative circumstances in our lives. All these may be the facts that plague our lives, but the truth is more powerful than any negative facts we may be experiencing.

Beloved, even if your life is great, speaking the Word will only make it so much better.

I am the Lord! The word that I speak is the word that I will speak! It will happen and be delayed no longer. In your own days, household of rebels, I speak a word and make it happen. This is what the Lord God says!

(Ezekiel 12:25 CEB)

The Word is like a seed that is planted every time we speak it, and God promises that it will fulfill its intended purpose.

This seed is God’s life-giving and enduring word.

(1 Peter 1:23 CEB)

So, speak the Word, declare God’s truth into your circumstances and over your life, and see your life transform.

Amen †
