WORDS ARE SPIRIT
MY THOUGHTS
The World Formed By Words
Words rule the World. Man is a creature of The Word. You were created by words. God spoke and the Earth and its creatures came into existence. You came into Being by the spoken Word. The Process of conception continues generation after generation due to the power of the spoken Word. God spoke on e but Creature continues running by the power of His Spoken Word. The Bible says " God sustains all things by the power of His Word. When you can harness the power of the promises of God in the Bible, nothing shall be impossible for you.
Whenever you accept any promises as the truth and speak it over your life and situation, it is God actually speaking through your mouth. Your destiny is created, shaped and transformed by the words you speak daily. The words of others also affect your reality when you believe these words and take them to heart. Job asked an important question in his travail; this statement of Job formed the basis for this mini-book.
The "WHO " behind every spoke word is the backup of the Word. If the King of England assigned the Prince of Wales to do a presentation on his behalf. And the Prince of Wales makes certain declarations during his speech. The declaration made carries the power and authority of the King of England. WHY? The Word spoken were the Words of the King of England and not just the words of the Prince of Wales
Words are spirit and have the power to change a life, situation to accurately portray the spoken words. Elijah spoke to a Nation that had abundant rainfall " There shall be no rain excerpt at my Word! A nation with abundant rain become a Land of famine because rain stopped falling for three (3) years at the Word of a Man. Elijah spoken but his word was backed up by an unseen invisible Mighty called The Almighty God.
You must keep watch over the words you receive from others. For it is not all who claims to speak from God whose speech and utterance is actually from God.
Every promise of God is given through either spoken or revealed/ written words. Even your dreams are products of words. Dreams are word reproduced in pictures. It is like the films you watch: Production of movies are words grouped into sentences; then formed into pictures and produced to motion pictures.
YOUR WORDS ARE IMPORTANT
The importance of words cannot be overemphasized. I was trapped for many years by words that came out of my mouth. Instead of enjoying the freedom purchased by the Blood of Christ, my utterance ensnared me. I had the habit of speaking the following words in the place of Worship: " God, You are the Most patient Being in the Universe and l am not like you, l don't have your patience.". This statement sound like a worship iyric but it's a word that is contrary to the Word of God in the Bible.
The Bible says l have been redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and l am formed in the image of Christ; I have the Spirit of Christ and His nature has become my nature. The personality of Christ has been birthed in my spirit and my life. ' As Christ is, so l am!
I can tell you that instead of overcoming impatience in my life, instead of overcoming anger and harshness, it got worse. l was a tongue speaking believer yet controlled by the sinful nature. It continued until l learned to open the Bible and speak directly Bible verses that promises freedom from all those vices that held me bound. Freedom and deliverance only came to me when l learnt to confess what God said about me.
The three major sources of the utterances of a Believer are: God and His Word, Satan and his controlled circumstances and yourself. You must determine the source of the Word you speak because words are spirit and have the ability to metamorphize into material elements that can seen.
For example if you keep on saying to yourself " I am surrounded by prosperity because l am wealthy as Christ is". Your faith and confession in the prosperity given by God releases the power of the Holy Spirit into your situation and changes it to become your confession. Divine ideas pour into your thoughts and opportunities begin to spring up everywhere around you. You must first seen wealth before your possess it.
On the other hand if your confession is " The Nation is tough, things are diffcult, the economy is not favourable to business, you don't know if you will breakthrough". The Bible says a man is ensnared by his/her words. This utterance shut up opportunities and releases the invisible forces of darkness to shut up the atmosphere on you.
You must learn to determine the source of words that comes out of your mouth. If words of fear, sickness and fear, know it is not from God, rather it is the Evil one that inspires such words.
I pray your life shall be transformed and you shall enjoy the abundant life that the LORD Jesus Christ has purchased with His blood for you
CREATED BY WORDS.
God is rightly called Elohim ( Glory to His Name Forever) He is the Begining and End of all things. He created everything that can be seen and things that cannot be seen. He dwells in the heavenly but His essence and Glory fills the Earth and our LORD Jesus Christ is the exact representation Of Father. "Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.
Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
Colossians 1:15-20 NLT
Everything Created Through Christ
"He created all things visible and viable by His Words. I will give three witness to these truths. The Scriptures says by two - three witnesses a testimony is confirmed.
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone."
John 1:1-4 NLT
Jesus Christ is The Word of Life. Everything Created was created through Him
God Spoke And Things Materialised
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens."
Genesis 1:1-4, 6-7 NLT
The Earth was filled with darkness, formless and without shape, though the Spirit of God was present and moving on the face of the water nothing happened until God spoke creative words into the darkness. The Word and the spirit works together. Wherever the Word exist, the Spirit will materialise.
Darkness dispearsed when the spoken word appeared. The formless and empty deep waters took the shape of the spoken words from the mouth of God. Darkness turned to light because God said "Let there be Light". Psalm 104 reveals that the Holy Spirit is the Executor of the Will of the Father. The present of the Holy Spirit on the empty deep was intentional. He is the Creative Presence of the Living Word. Wherever the Word is spoken, the Spirit is present. "You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die And return to their dust. You send out Your Spirit, they are created; You renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the Lord endure forever; May the Lord rejoice and be glad in His works—
Psalms 104:29-31 AMP
The Promises of God Has Power!
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. You will live in joy and peace.
Isaiah 55:8-11 NLT
Thoughts are powerful, they are the unseen forces which shapes a man's reality in the outside World. The Book of Proverbs rightly said " As a MAN' thinks so he is. Meaning your thoughts is a true reflection of who you will eventually become in Life
The Believer is assured of continually victory in all endeavours when You can master the art of making the thoughts of God, your thoughts and then the ways of God can become your ways. Of you know what is thinking, then easily you have received light that will guide your path.
Naaman, a mighty man in the Syria Enemy came to Elisha, a representative of God in Israel. He wanted healing and his thoughts was different from the thoughts of the Man of God. Naaman would have missed his opportunity to be healed if he had not allowed the thoughts of the Elisha to become His own thoughts. Elisha's thoughts for Naaman's healing was for the Captain to dip in the pool in Israel. The thoughts of Naaman for his healings was for the Man of God to stretch out his hands to Naaman.
The Word of God is the thoughts of God on every matter under the Sun. You walk in the ways of God when you renew your mind with His Word.
A Woman's Word Carried Power and healed
"Now, in the crowd that day was a woman who had suffered horribly from continual bleeding for twelve years. She had endured a great deal under the care of various doctors, yet in spite of spending all she had on their treatments,
she was getting worse instead of better. When she heard about Jesus’ healing power, she pushed through the crowd and came up from behind him and touched his prayer shawl. For she kept saying to herself, “If I could touch even his clothes, I know I will be healed.” As soon as her hand touched him, her bleeding immediately stopped! She knew it, for she could feel her body instantly being healed of her disease!
Mark 5:25-29 TPT
Jesus Christ is within your heart and in your Church if it is faith believing Church. You received from Christ based on your thoughts, your faith and what you say about that situation. The faith of your Pastor can help secure the miracle but you need your faith to sustain the blessings.
David Countered Fear With Faith Words
Again the Philistine said, “I defy the battle lines of Israel this day; give me a man so that we may fight together.” When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
1 Samuel 17:10-11 AMP
"When the words that David spoke were heard, the men reported them to Saul, and he sent for him. David said to Saul, “Let no man’s courage fail because of him (Goliath). Your servant will go out and fight with this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight him. For you are [only] a young man and he has been a warrior since his youth.”
But David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and attacked it and rescued the lamb from its mouth; and when it rose up against me, I seized it by its whiskers and struck and killed it.
Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted and defied the armies of the living God.” David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
1 Samuel 17:31-37 AMP
WHOSE SPIRIT SPEAKS THROUGH YOU
Satan and his demons has been known to express their thoughts through the mouth of men. Peter spoke to our LORD Jesus Christ but the LORD identified the true source of his words; they were not his original thoughts.. The disciple opened his mouth and made an utterance but it was the Enemy called Satan who inspired him to speak. "When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you.
You did not learn this from any human being.
Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”
From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead. But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!” Jesus turned to Peter and said,
“Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.” Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:21-24 NLT
"With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? James 3:10-11
King David gave a command that the numbers of fighting men in Israel be determined. Truly, it was King David that spoke out that instruction but it was the Devil who Inspired his actions. The Enemy wanted to hurt the people of God, and he knew that God protects his beloved and will never allow any harm to come to them. So Satan went to the Leader of the people of God- King David and made him carry out an action that will make God jodhe his people.
Satan was able to harm the people of God by influencing their leader. "Satan rose up against Israel and caused David to take a census of the people of Israel. So David said to Joab and the commanders of the army, “Take a census of all the people of Israel—from Beersheba in the south to Dan in the north—and bring me a report so I may know how many there are.” But Joab replied, “May the Lord increase the number of his people a hundred times over! But why, my Lord the king, do you want to do this? Are they not all your servants? Why must you cause Israel to sin?” God was very displeased with the census, and he punished Israel for it. Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly by taking this census. Please forgive my guilt for doing this foolish thing.”
1 Chronicles 21:1-3, 7-8 NLT
Thoughts and words can be introduced into your soul through dreams and words I jectes into your mind as thoughts. A man intend to accept this thoughts as their own thinking and some go ahead to carry out the instructions contained in the thoughts For example, a man who was reading his Bible and heard the following words " Daniel was throw into the Lion's den and God rescued him. Go, throw yourself into the Lion'den in the Zoo and God will rescue you.". The man stood up and accepted those thoughts as coming from God He went to the Zoo in the City of his residence and enter the Lion cage. The Lion's jumped at him and torn him into poeces. The City Daily News publicised his foolishness and deception.and you will be made to believe it's your thoughts and utter this thoughts through your lips.
Another man received an instruction in his dreams that God told Prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute, therefore he should go to the brothel near his house and propsoed to a prostitute. The Voice told him God will reward his obedience. The man accepted these thoughts as truly from the Spirit of God and went to speak to one of the ladies who works in the brothel as a prostitute .
Eventually he got married to her. But one day during an argument in the house, the lady murdered him and ran away from the town. Truly, God asked Hosea to take a promiscuous woman as wife. But that woman was an Israeli , a descendant of Abraham who was unfaithful to the Law of Moses which forbids prostitution. In the New Testament, the wife of Hosea will be a born again Christian who is a fornicator. She will be a child of God who is still held bond by thechains of sin. The man thought he heard God but a spirit of error spoke to him. Every Believer must learn to identify the aoute of every thoughts that entered their minds.
The LORD recognized the source of the spoken words of Peter and immediately rebuked Satan who was the author The Word from God always bring hope and not condemnation. Even if they are words of rebuke, ( they bring a godly remorse that results in repentance and not a sorrow that overwhelms your soul.) God will always guide you through leadings that agrees with his principles in the Bible. Always seek for two witnesses of any Bible passages in the Bible. The instruction given to Hosea was a singular prophetic actions, there is not confirming scripture in the Bible.
Men have the supernatural ability to inject thoughts to your mind and these thoughts do not necessarily has to be negative thoughts. The LORD taught me a lesson that it is not everything that is 'goof' that is necessarily right and the perfect will of God.. For example; If a young man likes a young lady and he is praying about it. Let's assume the content of his prayers is thus:
"Heavenly Father, l like Adeyunka as a marriage partner. I am in love with her and believe she will be a good partner for me. Father, your words says " the desires of the righteous shall be granted". Your Word also says whatever l ask in prayers according to your will shall be granted."
"Father let Adeyunka know that l am interested in her as a marriage partner, and let her develop loving feelings for me"
The above prayers is Scriptural sound and has the backings of the Word of God- Will God answer such prayers? Yes. Because the Scriptural references given for the prayers on the side of the man is sound. But there is no guaranteed that Adeyinka will agree to marry the young man though the young lady may begin to develop feelings for the young man because of his prayers.
Though the prayers of the young man is sound and scriptural, the young man though a tongue speaking believer may not be the right marriage partner for Afeyinka- He is a good man but it possible the young lady' life preparation does not suit marrying such a young man. When a lady is not prepare for marriage to a particular man, it means they are not compatible. They are noth Christians, but the test of compatibility must be observed.
Adeyinka will only be able to test the best what she is receiving in her soul if she has shapen the skill of hearing the voice of God. She must rightly discern if what she is receiving in her soul is as a result of the prayers of other people or if it is the LORD giving confirmation that the said youngman is the right person for her. The leading of the Holy Spirit is meant to take of such contingency. There is always ' The Best Choice" in every situation you may face.
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
Psalms 32:8 NLT
This method of verifying the source of every thoughts that entered your mind is useful for every aspect of your life Peter had good intentions: he did not want the Saviour to die a painful death. Obviously he cared for our LORD Jesus Christ, but though his care was "good" it was against the will of God for The LORD
King David wanted to have accurate knowledge of the fighting men in His army. The thoughts entered his mind and he saw nothing wrong with it. But the thoughts was placed in his mind by the devil and it was against God's procedure for taking a census in Israel. God's instruction for census is that a sacrifice must be offered by each man before the census takes place.
"Then the LORD said to Moses, “When you take a census of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the LORD a ransom for his life at the time he is counted. Then no plague will come on them when you number them. Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD.
You must know that some men/women have the supernatural ability to introduce thoughts into your mind without any face to face interaction with you. The thoughts are not introduced into your mind because you read a book written by them or becauae you listen to their messages/sermons on any platform. Thoughts are introduced into your mind supernaturally.
You must also know that both Christians and non Christians can do this: introduce thoughts into your mind that you may accept as your own thoughts or as thoughts given to you by the Holy Spirit. How can be protected from this problem?
PROTECTION FROM FORIEGN THOUGHTS
1. Ask For Help From God.
We could write ten steps to determining the source of the thoughts in your mind and without the help of the Holy Spirit; a man may still be deceived by the Enemy. WHY? Satan has the ability to disguise as an angel of light. "For they are not true apostles but deceitful ministers who masquerade as “special apostles” of the Anointed One. That doesn’t surprise us, for even Satan transforms himself to appear as an angel of light! So it’s no wonder his servants also go about pretending to be ministers of righteousness. But in the end they will be exposed and get exactly what they deserve.
2 Corinthians 11:12-15 TPT
The joy of every believer is that the Holy Spirit will always bear witness with your innerman to that which is the truth and which is from God. But you don't perfect the art and acts of distinguishing the thoughts from God from your own normal day to day thoughts from Day one of your New birth experience. You have to learn to hear God's voice as a new born baby learns to differentiate the voice of their parents from others. It will take constant fellowship and faith in the Word to recognize God's voice this way.
But you can access this ability by faith. The Book of John 10 gives the key for hearing God's voice by faith.
"The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice. They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”
John 10:3-5 NLT
Faith in the LORD Jesus Christ gives you the right to hear His voice. He became your Shepherd when you became a child of God. You can claim this promise of heraing God by faith even as a new convert in the faith.
PRAYER OF FAITH FOR HEARING GOD
"FATHER, I believe that Jesus Christ, your Son is LORD and Saviour. I receive Him into my Life today as Saviour and my Shepherd for forever.
Because l am His sheep, l declare l hear His Voice, recognize His voice and follow His voice at all times and for all decisions and actions in Jesus Name.
I proclaim that l never hear the voice of strangers, l do not obey their voices, l do not recognize their Voices.
I do not hear and recognize any voices that trys to guide me out of the perfect will of God forever. I so not hear or recognize any voices that is contrary to the Word and the will of God for my Life.
I so not follow the voice of the wicked and walk in their ways forever. Thank you for this blessing and honour in Jesus Christ Nam
2. Fill Your Mind And Spirit The Word Of God.
Listen carefully, my dear child, to everything that I teach you, and pay attention to all that I have to say. Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. Then, as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being. Proverbs 4:20-21.
You can recognize the leading of the Holy Spirit and discern the thoughts from God when your mind is renewed with the Word of God. You must read, study and filled your mind with Biblical truth- Bible passages must be memorised. This is what keeps the Believer safe from deception from men and the Enemy. When your Heart and mind is saturated with the Word of God, hearing God becomes easy.
3. Guard Your Heart
So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life. Avoid dishonest speech and pretentious words. Be free from using perverse words no matter what!
Proverbs 4:20-24 TPT
You must learn to protect your heart from thoughts which introduces fear, disease, sickness and other evil elements. Our LORD Jesus Christ said " what defiles a Man comes out of his mouth ." Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “Listen,” he said, “and try to understand. It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
Matthew 15:10-11 NLT
The Word that comes out of your Word defiles you, can condemn you, will ensnared and trap your destiny.
IMPORTANT QUESTION
Where Does your Mouth gets the Words it speaks.?
"A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." Luke 6:45
What you speak is from what is stored in your heart. Your eyes and ears are gateways into your heart, mond and spirit. If you allow negativity, worldiness, ideas that are contrary to the Scriptures enter your heart through the movies you watch, the books you read and the music you listen to, your life and testimony will be full of negativity because that is what your mouth will speak and your heart will believe
