The Word
Part I

Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author   Close Window

In this study I pray that God opens your eyes and gives you revelation knowledge of His Word (Amen).

In the following study we will find out two important facts about the word “Word”. First in John 1:1-3, 14 we find out nothing was made without the Word. And the Word became flesh and was and is Jesus.

So all was created by words, in the beginning God said and it was.

ary agreed with the angel and by the word she was made pregnant.

This person was cleansed by the word.

And by this word unclean spirits (demons) were cast out. So by the spoken word creation came to be, demons are cast out. Mary became pregnant, and people were and are healed.

And as we go further in this study you will learn how important it is to watch what you say. As you are created in God’s image. And the earth and all about it is to act upon words, we sometimes find ourselves in the very same fix we feared. And if you look back you can see where you spoke it and it happened. You see faith and fear act on spoken words. All fear is, is twisted faith. So fear like faith acts on what is heard. Having a hard time with this are you ? Well, then what about the old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”. Think about that saying, now how many times have wars started over words. A fight with friends or family over words. And how often do our words cut to the very heart of someone’s soul. And how many children have recovered from beatings, but still suffer from verbal abuse. No, my friends words do hurt and more than sticks and stones. Most of the time the word is actually a message. What is a message but a string of words. And how often does a string of words hurt more than just a word. In the following verses I have placed message in each verse along with word.

So if the message or word live in you, it will always if it is The Word (Jesus) make the truth known to you. And by the truth you know you will be made free in that area.

Why do so many have trouble with the word or message of Jesus and salvation. Because they have been fed the lie so much and so often. That now the truth is hard to understand. If you hear something enough, and from enough people without anyone showing the flip side, you start to believe. And that is what has happened to so many, we have allowed the lie in every area of our life and no one has contested it until just in the past few years.

So what was the message (word)?

Also if you understand that Christ is a Greek word which in English means The Anointed One. Then you will know that by Luke 4:18 Jesus was saying He is the Christ. The Anointed One. And just what is the Anointed One:

And what will the anointing of the Anointed One do?

The Jews had been waiting centuries for the Anointing. Can we have the anointing? Yes.

So why was Jesus saying if the message or word does not live in you, you will not have eternal life? Three reasons, first because the word is Jesus. (John 1:14) . And Jesus is the door, and without the door you can not enter. Second without the word you are in darkness, and in darkness you can not see to find your way. And then you are lost and fall into the pit. Third because only in THE WORD can truth be found. And if THE WORD does not live in you to overcome the lie, you will be lead astray. If it were not for Satan this would not be needed. But since Satan is and does exist, we have to have a light to make it through the darkness. And the Word is the light that lights our path.

In the above two verses the word is a comand, and by following it, Peter got a great catch and the Centurion’s servant was made well.

The message or word is revealed or comes by revelation.

In the above Jesus named Simon Barjona “Peter”, which means a piece of the rock. And then Jesus says upon this rock, which is the rock. I will build my church. So based upon Simon Barjona receiving a revelation from God, or revealed truth of who the Christ (The Anointed One) is, is what Jesus builds His church. So by the word or message come revealed knowledge or revelation.

Did you notice in the above two verses some came and brought a message that was of fear? But Jesus said do not be afraid. Don’t allow fear to choke off what your faith can produce.

The above verse is another way to choke the message.

In the above three verses is a good example of how Satan will try to give us thoughts that are not of faith and God, but of fear and Satan. Jesus shows us what we should do and that is rebuke such thoughts and never speak them.

So by the message (word) that comes from your mouth you are saved or condemned. Not by God, but by your own mouth. Here, look at an example Jesus gave.

So how do we control our words and our message?

By our faith and our faith comes by what we allow to come into our thoughts and our spirit. If it is of God, then our message and words will be of life. If it is of the world, then of death and destruction. It is your choice, so you choose, but I suggest you choose life.

y prayer for you is that the words of your mouth are of life.(Amen)
