The Word Made Flesh

Today we are going to talk about the Word to start our new year. I know you know the Word, but what better way to start the year. Before we do that, let’s take a look at a prophetic word by Kenneth Copeland at the Eagle Mountain New Year’s Eve service. Since I take shorthand, I got most of it. It is not necessarily word for word toward the end but fairly close for content.

Kenneth Copeland Prophecy 12/31/06
New Year’s Eve Service

As you’ve known it in the past is over forever. We stand on the threshold of an adventure that is beyond all human imagination. For this is the time that the Lord has prepared. This is where the Garden of Eden was headed all the time. This is the place that the Lord God has established in His blessing and in His power and in His mercy and His goodness. So rejoice in the Lord. Know that it is so close—not the end—no, the beginning is so close—it is at hand and in preparing in these final moments and the grand beginning of the glory of God forevermore and the time I promised I would put satan in his place and remove him from human contact. And we are so close, so close, so close. And before the end of the year you will think this really must be it because this year is going to be so glorious and so wonderful. It is the work of the Lord and it will be marvelous in your eyes.

Now, let’s look at the word of God. Psalm 33:6 & 9 tell us that the heavens and all that there is came into existence by the breath, the Word of God. He spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.

Then we see in Psalm 34:15 that God’s ears are listening for our cry, proclamation, declaration of His language, His Word, His voice of faith, the language of His Kingdom. He respects faith. God loves to hear what He says. He’s listening for His Word spoken. He listening for our speaking His Word, our worship, our praise.

Then, of course, we must talk about John 1:1-4. Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, the Word of God, the eternal One, made everything. Christ, the Anointed One and His anointing, is called the Word of God. He is eternal—unchanging, forever, never deviating, the same, producing the same, consistent results.

Listen to it in the KJV, Amplified Bible and then in the New Living Translation.
KJV
John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Amplified
In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ) and the Word was with God and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of Men.

New Living Translation
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created* (nothing that was created was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything.) and his life brought light to everyone.

The Word of God Himself created everything so everything responds to the Word. That is why it is so important in 2007 to continually dwell in, abide in, speak, confess, meditate, study the Word of God. It is our very substance of existence, of protection, of prosperity, of health, of life itself.
