Words Create Worlds

God’s words created Earth.

Jesus's words hushed the storm and healed the sick.

Just like his words hushed the storm, drove out the demon, and healed the sick, our words have power to do the same.

Jesus spoke often of the power of our words. Jesus is the Living Word, The Voice, The Manifestation of the Father. If the Living Word lives in us and his power is given to us as his followers, the words we speak create the world we live in.

If we are focused on death and destruction how can we be ambassadors of life and hope to those who need it?

Every time we declare who we are our mind believes us a little bit more. We do well to take care with the words we speak about ourselves.

If we speak who God says we are, we join our voice with his and our identity becomes entrenched in his truth.

If we declare that we are moving toward wholeness we give ourself permission to pursue wholeness and encourage others to find it too.

Every time we declare a promise of God, we make a prophetic declaration. We declare what will be even if we don’t see it now. We declare the promises to come, even if right now they seem far away.

Every declaration increases faith and our capacity to hope.

This is the what Jesus modeled to us and his disciples.

Mark 4:39

He got up, shouted words into the wind, and commanded the waves.

Jesus: That’s enough! Be still!

And immediately the wind died down.

Hebrews 11:3

Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words!

He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.

James 3.9-12

Ironically this same tongue can be both an instrument of blessing to our Lord and Father and a weapon that hurls curses upon others who are created in God’s own image. One mouth streams forth both blessings and curses. My brothers and sisters, this is not how it should be.

Does a spring gush crystal clear freshwater and moments later spurt out bitter salt water?

My brothers and sisters, does a fig tree produce olives?

Is there a grapevine capable of growing figs?

Can salt water give way to freshwater?
