Jesus
started with the word and will end with the word. An understanding of
how powerful Jesus' words are will give you peace and victory in life.
It will make you a master over the enemy and challenges of life.
In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through
Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made - John 1:1-3 (NKJV)
He
is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the
out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and
very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power... - Hebrews 1:3 (AMP, emphasis mine)
And
I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His
army. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh - Revelations 19:19, 21 (NKJV, emphasis mine)
Jesus Christ is the Word
John
1:1 and Revelation 19:13 tell you that Jesus is the word of God. You
can't separate Christ from His word. Jesus is the word of God that
became flesh and dwelt among men - John 1:14
An
understanding of this truth will help you realize that the scriptures
from Genesis to Revelation speak Christ. For example the lifted brazen
serpent in the time of Moses represented Jesus on the cross - John 3:14.
Everyone that looked upon the serpent was healed of the snake bite and
lived - Numbers 21:9. So also, anyone who believes on the lifted Christ
will not perish but have eternal life - John 3:15
Furthermore,
Christ also confirmed it in John 5:46-47 (NKJV), when He said, "For if
you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if
you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" The
scriptures and Christ's words are one. Christ is the word of God and all
the books of the bible, including the books of Moses, talk about Him.
An understanding of this will give you clearer meaning of what is
written in the scriptures.
Created the world by His word
God
created the world by His word. Throughout the history of creation, you
will keep seeing 'God said... and it was so' - Genesis 1. God spoke the
universe into existence; by His spoken words, everything came to be. All
things were made through Christ (the word), and without Him nothing was
made that was made (John 1:3), whether visible or invisible, thrones or
dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through
Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16). Read more...
