Words And The Kingdom of God
Yesterday we talked about the Kingdom of God and its operation here in this earth for us as God’s children.
Today let’s talk about the way that Kingdom operates. Everything God did, He did with words. As we all know, we see in Genesis 1 that each time there was another part of creation, God spoke it into existence from inside Him. In each verse we read the words “God called,” “God said,” and it became. It all started with one small phrase: God said: Light be. He was in essence saying this: That which I am; that which is in me; come forth. I am Light and Life and Love. I speak all of that into the atmosphere which will become earth.
When God spoke those first words into the earth, He was speaking forth what was inside Him, and it became. When He created man, He spoke man into existence by His Words of creation. God created man in His own image. And since we are created in His own image, we follow our Father’s example. He created by words and still does. That is His system. So, it follows the pattern that we create by words. Every day we are creating by what we say. It started as a thought and was lodged in our spirits and minds until one day we spoke it and it created. What we all must understand, though, is that not every word we speak creates. It is only the words that we have pondered and thought on and meditated that have taken root in our hearts that create. If we think something long enough and speak it out often enough, that thought will take root and create words, which come out of our mouths and create. That is why Jesus said that out of the abundance of the heart we speak, and that a man is justified by his words, whether for good or for evil.
You and I must think on, ponder, meditate only God’s Word, which creates good thoughts, which creates good conversation, which creates good things for us as we speak. People are not aware of their thought patterns nor their words that they speak, unless someone brings it to their attention. It is like breathing. You don’t think about breathing. You don’t say to yourself: Breathe. Neither do you say to yourself, watch what you say, unless you have been made aware of it.
Thinking and speaking is what creates your environment around you. The Word of God says that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. That is a powerful statement.
So, what are we to do? Take the Word, Who is God, and declare it as if He is speaking because He is speaking through you. When you take the name of Jesus, you are speaking (acting also) in His place. He has authorized you to speak and carry on business in His place while He is gone from earth in visible form. You are His representative, representing Him. He has given you full legal authority to make decisions, act on His behalf, and carry on the work and the daily life and activities of His Kingdom here on the earth. And it is all conducted by words.
God said in Genesis 1: Light, Be! Be fruitful! We follow His example and say: Be healed! Be made whole! Be prosperous! Be blessed! It’s a statement of Truth, final word of authority which commands and demands action to bring about what has just been spoken. Now it’s Truth and established once it is spoken. This is a growing process where you develop your trust, your belief in God and His Word. You are not an overnight wonder. It is a gradual change. It didn’t take you overnight to get to the place where you are with speaking the world’s words and the world’s way of doing things. Even so, it will not take you overnight to speak God’s Word and believe it will come to pass in your life.
Where do you start? Start with one scripture verse and meditate on it day and night until it becomes real to you, so real that you know that it is operating in your life. Then take another and do the same thing. What are you doing? You are changing your thought patterns, which will change the way you speak. Don’t start at the wrong end by trying to control your speech. It doesn’t work that way. Whatever is in your thoughts and your heart in abundance is what you will speak. So start filling yourself with the Word of God day and night. It is a consistent lifestyle, not a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. God’s Word produces God results. Let’s get started today.
