THE WORD
The most powerful entity on this earth is the words that comes out of the mouths of a man or a woman, as the bible says in the book of Proverbs chapter 18 : 21 that death and life is in the power of the tongue, so, all we got to do is just speak the word with authority believing what we`ve said and it shall come to past.
In Genesis chapter 1 beginning from verse # 1 it says: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
First; let’s look at the word Created.
The Hebrew word for create is b`ra`ya` or in the English Baraiah, which the meaning of the word is “Yahweh has created.”
But see the shorter version of the word, ba`ra` meaning Create or Creator or can refer to creating from nothing as well as to reforming existing materials or it can also be used for “to cut down.”
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, this means that He did not speak the words that allow the building of the heavens and the earth, it was created in the mind of God. And to create means that you have in your mind “first” that which you intended to be revealed of yourself, and to reveal it, it must be spoken either by hand gestures or audible words.
In the process of creation, God’s spirit hovered above the surface of the waters, to hover, is to levitate or to cruse in mid air.
The second verse said that, the earth was without form and void.
Without form means, that it is formless or without mass.
Void means, emptiness’ or without order or in chaos.
So here we see that the earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness.
Now, where ever the spirit of the Lord does not dwell, there is chaos and mayhem.
Then the third verse said. Then God said, let there be light, and there was light. We see that he spoke the Word. The light is the Word that proceeds out of God’s mouth, the first was Let; in the Hebrew” Let” is pronounced as “salah.”
The light is the Word that proceeded out of the mouth of God, and when He spoke, the Word went fourth to accomplished that which God commanded it too do, and so he did.
Now let’s look at the book of John chapter 1 and verses 1 to 15.
1) 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 anything that was made
4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5) And light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7) The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9) That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into this world.
10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not
12) But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name;
13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
What did we learn from the statements of these five verses? We`ve learned that it is the same and only “God,” creator of the universe; he is expressing or revealing himself in the world of darkness by his Word, the only Word of light and perfection, the only word He have to offer, and that’s his only Word that was made flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, full of unfailing Love and faithfulness.
Let’s look at John chapter 8 verse 12.
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life.
Here he is plainly stating that he is the same Light or the Word that Creator spoke when he said, let there be Light, in the book of Genesis chapter 1 and verse # 1 and the book of John chapter 1 and verse # 1.
In the 42nd verse Jesus is correcting the Scribes and Pharisees, about their misconceptions of God as being their Father.
Jesus said unto them, if God were your Father, you would love me; for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
So here we see that God sent His Word out to accomplish what He sent it to do, and so He obeyed.
And here Jesus is saying directly to the Jews who He really is.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am.
The word “I am,” in the Hebrew means; Self Existence.
Last but not least, in the book of 1 John chapter 5 verses 6 to 12.
6) This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8) And there are three that bear witness in the earth, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree as one.
9) If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he have testified of his Son.
10) He that believes on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believes not God had made him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son.
11) And this is the record, that God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Let’s book of Hebrew chapter 1 and verse 3.
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the Word of his power, when he by himself purge our sins, sat down on the right hand of Majesty on High.
And in the book of Colossians chapter 1 verses 12 to 17.
12) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13) Who hath delivered us from power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of his dear Son:
14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in the earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Let’s turn to the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 4.
4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus` sake.
6) For God, who commanded the Light to shine out of the darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
And the last two verses we will look at in the book of Revelation, first chapter 19 and verse 13.
13) And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Chapter 20 verse 4.
4) And I saw thrones, and they that sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they reigned with Christ a thousand years.
