“By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth” (Psalm 33:6).
The human body is a limitation of divinity. Let me explain this to you. When Jesus was in human flesh, there were things He couldn’t do, because He was in the human body, even though He’s Himself God. For example, He couldn’t continue every day, every hour, without getting tired; He had to sleep. He couldn’t even minister beyond Israel, as much as He loved the whole world; He was limited because He was a Jew. Even the Samaritan woman didn’t want to listen to Him. She said, “How can you ask me for water! You’re a Jew and I’m a Samaritan; we have no dealings with each other…” (Read John chapter 4).
The limitation of the human body is the limitation of divinity in you, but the essence of the human spirit—the human personality—is not the physical body; man is a spirit and God designed divinity to be released through words! When Jesus was sleeping, the ‘Word’ wasn’t sleeping because words are illimitable, they go into the realm of the spirit. You can speak from where you are and have things happen all over the world. That’s the power of words! You can speak from your closet, and it will have impact in heaven.
Now, I need you to understand this: words are powerful, but the Word of God is all-powerful! Anybody can say anything and have it produced results, whether or not he’s a Christian, because man was made in the image of God, and in His likeness. However, 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” When a man is born again, he’s born of the Word. You’re the offspring of the Word, if you’re born again; you live by the Word. Your life is built by the Word; you dwell in the Word! What does that tell you? It means that you don’t just speak words, you speak the Word.
Genesis 1 tells us how in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. He did it with words! When Jesus ministered, He ministered with words; He changed things with words. Every word He spoke came to pass. When He spoke to blind eyes, they opened; when He commanded deaf ears, they were unstopped. Once, He said to a man with a withered arm, “Stretch forth thine hand”; the man did, and his withered arm was perfectly restored (Matthew 12:13). Even when He raised the dead, He did it with words.
Words! How important your words are! When your spirit is in sync with the Holy Spirit, your words become spirit and life, like the words of Jesus (John 6:63). So, when you have a situation to deal with, when you have changes to effect, meditate on the Word; soak your spirit in the Word until only the Word comes out of your mouth!
