THE POWER OF OUR WORDS 3
"By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen."
Hebrews 11:3, NLT
Main Text:
Today, I want to you to take a closer look at our reference text; Hebrews 11:3, KJV: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the words of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. There are two words to consider here, they are; Worlds and Framed. The word, World in Greek is AION. The word is not just referring to a period of time or a dispensation here; it has deeper meaning than that. The word AION speaks of the structure and administration of a life. I.e. how things go with you. A people or a situation; how things work around/affect you from day to day including how they affect your hopes and aspirations especially at a time like this in the world when there is pandemic virus ravaging the globe. We need to speak life and counter the negatives. We need to bring hope to our world to counter the fear that has grappled the world. Beloved, the virus Corona came with word and it is our word of life that can deliver at this time.
The Greek word for Frame is Katartizo. The idea is found in architecture implying; have an intention or purpose, decide on a course of action for a desired change. Take action by; fashioning, putting together to bring into completion. Beloved, God has made design for our lives, it is for us to use the right word to build on the architectural design, frame our world.
The media saturated the world with panic and fear over the pandemic but you and I can use the right word to frame our desired world.
In genesis 1v3 God declared, let there be light and there was light immediately.
In Proverbs 23:7, the Bible says, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. In this moment beloved, what are the dominants thoughts in your mind? Is it a thought of possibility of victory or defeat? The power in your words can change your situation. Declare the victory, speak life into your situation and you will come with testimony.
Confession; I am a Child of God, therefore I speak life into my situation. My words will not fail nor fall into empty ground
Prayer: The word of life will always proceed from my mouth
