Speaking God’s Word

In the beginning was the Word…

God created this planet and the entire universe by speaking it into existence.  As believers in Jesus Christ, and therefore as children of God, we can, like earthly children, imitate our heavenly Father by saying what He says. We have the honor and privilege to use what God has said about a matter to create a life that falls in line with His plan for us—an abundant, overflowing life (Romans 10:8; John 10:10). That abundance includes having children and raising them to know that God loves them immensely and wants them to enjoy an abundant life (Psalm 102:18, 28).

 

We can activate that abundant life and change our current circumstances by declaring God’s Word. He gave us His Word to empower us so that we don’t have live in bondage to infertility any longer! Over and over again, God shows us in the Bible that it is important to speak His Word because it is powerful in shaping our lives. God said that His Word would go forth and return to Him with results that please him (Isaiah 55:11).  The method by which His Word returns to Him is through us speaking it out loud in faith.  Everyone knows that God’s name is holy and should be respected and honored.  But did you know that He has exalted His Word even above His name (Psalm 138:2)? That means we should believe His Word, trust it, and value it as something precious! It also means we can act on it with confidence.

 

Speak God’s Word and be encouraged that it is working and will work on your behalf. Believe it and continually speak it in faith (2 Corinthians 4:13). Speak the Word with confidence because it is the foundation for God’s language of faith.
