Things - Words
I heard Dr. Creflo Dollar on Kenneth Copeland’s Believer’s Voice of Victory television program say: Words are things. In the Hebrew language, there is the same Hebrew word for “words” and “things.” We see this in Psalm 145:5 and 1 Samuel 3:17.
Psalm 145:5 KJV
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. In the footnote for the word “works,” it says Heb. things, or, words.
1 Samuel 3:17,18 KJV
And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee. Once again, in the footnote for things we see: Or, word.
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. The footnote for every whit says: Heb. all the things, or, words
When I say a word, I release a thing but I don’t physically see the thing when I say it. I hear the thing before I see the thing. Once it’s spoken, it’s got to work its way into the physical realm so I can see the thing I said.
What I heard from Dr. Dollar triggered the following:
You give birth to the word you speak.
In Hebrews 11:1 we see that faith is the substance of things (words)…. Faith is the spiritual substance that creates the physical substance. Faith is having the CONFIDENCE in God to do His Word for me. Jesus was able to see faith (Matt. 9:2), just as we are able to see physical things with our physical eyes. So, also, we can see faith with our spiritual eyes when we are in the spirit. Faith is substance.
God is the ultimate Creator Who created us as His speaking spirits. Faith is believing and trusting God-----His Word activates His ability to create the physical substance. We are creators with Him in the sense that the way He set up His Kingdom of God system was to teach us how to speak as He did and see things created. He spoke—it became. So He wants us to speak, and then have the confidence that what we speak comes to pass, because He, our Father, is backing what we say, when it is His Word we are speaking. We speak the Word-------He makes it come to pass, puts actual physical reality to His Word which we speak. The Word is the raw material we give God to release His power to create for us.
The whole Word of God is what He has given us to live very successfully and wholly on this earth.
This Word is our supply basket. Out of the supply basket of the Word, we take out whatever we need for that time. So, faith is the connector between the Word and its actual producing an earthly reality. The Word is my toolbox. I pull out whatever tool (Word) I need to get the job done. My faith is what uses the Word tool like my hand is what uses an earthly tool, like a hammer or a screw driver.
This whole Bible, the Word of God, is ours, given to us by our Father, its usage demonstrated by His Son, Who is called the Word of God. Jesus showed us the way to live. When we believe the Word of God to the point that every word in there is full of the life of God, waiting to be activated by His Holy Spirit, Who came to dwell in us and guide us and teach us, then we will see great results in our lives. We will have a freedom that draws others to come and see what it is that we have that makes us so successful and happy in this otherwise miserable world of sin and lack.
God’s Word is the answer to anything we are facing today. What we have to do is immerse ourselves in Him and His Word until everything else dims into the distance and all we have before us is Him and His Word, forever engraved on our hearts and minds.
