Word Potential

“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing

was made that was made.”

John 1:3

Can you imagine what it must be like to be full of great ideas and

have no way to express them? Imagine if you had an invention,

but the world would never see or hear it because of your inability

to speak and write. While non-verbal communication is possible,

it is not productive. To this end, have you ever wondered what

it would be like to live in a world without words? Have you

considered the dead sound echoing throughout the unframed

galaxy before the silence was broken when God released His

spoken Word? At the sound of His voice, the worlds came to be

and the universe was framed. When released, words are assigned

to fulfill a specific purpose in this life and beyond. Words are so

important to God that He honors His Word above His name.

Words are so important to Him that He used words to frame

the worlds and the written Word to govern it (Hebrews 11:1-3).

Before there was a world, there was the Word. “In the beginning

[before all time] was the Word ([a]Christ), and the Word was with

God, and the Word was God [b]Himself. 2 He was present originally

with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through

Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come

into being.” John 1:1-3 AMP

Everything we see around us started as an idea in the mind

of God. The world, as we know it, is framed by the words first

spoken by God and repeated by men. God thought, He said, He

saw. In His image and likeness, He created us speaking spirits.

Therefore, as the God class of being, we think, we say, we see.

Words are containers. Buried inside of a single word is the

ability to reproduce new words. All words have an origin. The

root to each word is in its original purpose, and while we build

on its original intent, the origin of the word never changes. In

fact, word is derived from the Greek definition of spermi, which

means life. By this we know that words are life and, when rooted

in the human heart, they are incubated to produce by the time

we release them from our mouths. There are words and then

there is the Word of God. The Word of God is spirit and life.

The spirit of His Word is what accomplishes His purpose for

our lives.
