God created mankind by speaking and created us to be like Him, in His image – to function like He does. Then, He put us in charge of His creation.
Genesis 1:26-28 And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. (NKJ)
Subdue=kabash=force, bring into subjection, bound by the word. Dominion=reign, subjugate, rule over.
John 1:1-14 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 was not anything made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all 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 gives light to every man coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as the Only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. (NKJ)
There is difference for you to make something and something be made of you. God cannot be separated from His Word. He cannot deny Himself.
Colossians 1:15-17 Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in Him (Jesus) all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities all things were created through Him and for Him. He (Jesus) is before all things, and in Him (Jesus) all things hold together.
God is a spirit. Jesus is a spirit who became flesh.
Hebrews 1:1-3 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom also He made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His (God’s) powerful Word (Jesus). After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. (NKJ
God gave man the power to speak things into existence at creation. Man did not speak Jesus into exitance because Jesus was there at creation before man ever existed. God used man to bring Jesus out of the spirit realm and into the flesh realm by speaking because of the authority He had already put into man’s hands. That is the same way He works today.
Romans 4:17 As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead, and calls those things which are not as though they were. (NKJ)
How does He call them? Through someone’s lips.
Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. (NKJ)
Isaiah 53:5-6 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. (NKJ)
God has chosen to use people to bring His Word into effect. For that to happen, it must be spoken. The Word was written so it could be spoken. Choose to speak His Word. Bring His will into your life. Speak it out in Faith!
