*THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD*
_As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it_ . Isaiah 55:10-11(KJV).
The integrity of the word of God cannot be questioned or disdained. Every word that comes from God’s mouth has power and authority. The word that I speak to you, they are life and they are spirits (John 6:63). There is power in the spoken Word of God, and this power produces unspeakable signs and wonders. The entire universe was formed by the spoken Word of God (2Peter 3:5, Gen. 1:1-5). The word is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is the word(John1:1).
When we make a declaration or a confession, it is an expression of our faith. The Lord, through the prophet Isaiah, uses the example of rain. He said in the same way that it falls from the sky and waters the ground, so that seeds yield fruit for the one who sowed them and bread to the eater, so is the Word that comes from the mouth of God. It will not return to Him empty, but will accomplish everything He wants it to and will achieve the purpose for which He sent it. The Word of God is a messenger that cannot return until it has fulfilled His mission. When you make a confession, it becomes a decree. As you confess it, you are activating it in the spiritual realm.
In the same way, if someone speaks a negative word, that word is activated in the demonic spiritual realm. This allows the demonic powers to follow you, so that everything you are said comes to pass. On the other hand, if you declare the promises of God, you are activating the angelic realm that will come to your aide so that you can reach everything you desire in your heart. Solomon said, you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth (Proverbs 6:2,). The sort of declarations you make will be reflected in your life, whether it is a positive word or a negative word. Decide to speak words that will build you up and strengthen your faith in God. Until you believe in the word, there would be results. Therefore, we must give more earnest heed to the spoken Word of God emanating from genuine men of God. Many people have missed their miracles because they mistook the Word of God for the words of a pastor. They fail to realise that God will not come down to speak His word, but He speaks through His genuine servant. Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper(2Chr 20:20, Hosea 12:13) How then can one identify a word as being genuinely spoken by God through His servants? The written word, which is the Bible, authenticates it and must be aligned with the spoken word (John 16:13, Galatians 1:8). After you have ascertained that the source of a spoken word is clean, and that the word is directly from God, it is your responsibility to believe it. Only then you will receive the miracle you so much desire from God, The scripture speaking and said, He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. The centurion knows the power in the word) Matthew 8:8).Elijah, spoke concerning the shameful death of the wicked, kkng Ahab in 1kkng 21:19, the wonder working power of the spoken word produced the negative effect of Ahab’s death in (1Kings 22:38).
The spoken word of God which came to the widow of Zarephath through Elijah in (1 Kings 17:14) was fulfilled.
We see the power in this spoken word, working positively in (1King 17:16). I pray the word of God will work mightily in your situation in Jesus name. Shalom!!!
*SHALL WE PRAY*
Father in the name of Jesus,
grant me grace to live my life in you mighty word.
