The Word of God spoke creation into being (Gen. 1:3 – “And God said ...”). This particular use of “word” comes from the Greek “logos” which means a living voice has called forth or decreed something.
John 1:3 reads: “All things were created through Him (through the Word).” That is to say that Jesus – the Word – birthed life.
Hebrews 4:12 describes the Word of God as “living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Words have power – our words have power. Many of us often feel as if there is little, if anything, we can do to change the world, but there is. The power of prayer is the greatest and most powerful gift God has given us by His Mighty Spirit.
“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective,” James 5:16.
