Word Up

John 1: 1- 5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

In Genesis Chapter 1 we can document about nine “God saids” and in the passage above, we are told that every word that was spoken at creation is Jesus. “Through Jesus all things were made and without Him nothing was made”. Jesus is the Word, the Word that our Father used to create goodness out of nothingness and void. According to the passage as well, we see that Jesus is Life; the Word is life and through that Life, through Jesus, light shines (Thy word [{Jesus} is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path Ps 119:105) and because we are of the light we understand it, but it is misunderstood by darkness.

A verse in John chapter 1 excites me, makes me wonder and desire to totally grasp because I know there is wealth in fully understanding the verse, and I know by the grace of God, I’d come to that place of complete understanding and increased knowledge… the verse I speak of is verse 9 “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” The fact that we have been given the right to become children of God does not mean that we always exercise that right (ask the prodigal son’s brother), some of us don’t know how to act like sons of God or what comes with the territory, some others have exchanged that right for servitude as if we are angels or servants… we are sons, what is it to be a son of God?… let me not digress completely.

Some of us read the bible but have no idea that the words in the bible are in fact Jesus, when God says in Joshua 1:8 that we should study, meditate, hide in our hearts and apply the word of God, He is pretty much saying allow Jesus to completely rule your life, study Him, don’t let Him go, hide Him in your hearts, think about Him all the time, and then you’d know me because He is me after all, and then you’d have good success

We’ve heard that we cannot get to the Father except through the son… but of course… Since Jesus is the word, the only way we can know God well enough is through the word… hmmm!

One of the rights that we as sons of God should exercise is that of declaration, just like God our Father, we can speak life into deadness, create something out of nothing or change craziness into soundness. In Romans 4:17 we are told that God gives life to the dead and calls those things that be not as though they were … As a child of God, you have the power to give life and to speak those things that are not as though they were just like your father did and still does. The only way that is possible is by speaking Jesus; the word; God himself.

When we speak the word of God into any area of our lives, we experience life and newness. We can create what we want or what should be there.

I know that my Father will honor his word… after all He says that every word that is spoken will not come back to Him until it has accomplished its purpose. So go into the word, and dig out all those promises that you want and begin to confess and claim them. Be assured that there is no better way to be in God’s will that to give Him back His word.
