To every member of God’s elect there must come a time when the truth of the power resident within the word of God to us dawns as the morning on the meadows of our consciousness. With all confidence I tell every person who reads these lines that prophecy (prophetic utterance) is not fulfilled simply because God foreknows what is to happen. God does indeed know all things, for “known unto God are all His works from the foundation of the world.” Truly He knows the end from the beginning and nothing is hidden from Him! The grossest darkness is bright as the noonday sun to the all-seeing eye of the Lord our God. We could say that because God knows what will happen He is able to speak beforehand precisely what will come to pass and therefore that is prophecy. That seems altogether logical to the natural mind. But I do not hesitate to tell you that that is not the reason prophecy comes to pass! Prophecy is not fulfilled on the basis of God’s foreknowledge. Prophecy comes to pass because the life of God, the ability of God, and the power of God are in that word to perform all that it speaks. Again I say that the word of God is not just a spoken foreknowledge, for the word of God is itself CREATIVE ENERGY!
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM, AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANYTHING MADE THAT WAS MADE. IN HIM WAS LIFE; AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN” (Jn. 1:1-4). God did not say, “Let there be light,” because He knew there would be light; rather, He said, “Let there be light,” so there would be light!” And the power that created the light was The Word. That is the difference. We stated above that there must come a time when every one of God’s called and chosen elect is thoroughly possessed of the understanding of this great and eternal truth concerning the power resident in the living word of God. This is unerringly true because we are called to be the proclaimers of His Word. As the sons of God go forth into spiritual warfare to smite the nations, the Living Word of God is our sword! –End Quote—
As we are led by THE SPIRIT and FATHER instructs us to speak according to HIS Will, whether by prophecy or to deal with a current situation, those Words contain HIS creative power to bring them to pass.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 13:
10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.
12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”
13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
In Matthew chapter 9, Jesus spoke:
2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”
3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”
4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
7And he arose and departed to his house.
8 Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
And in John chapter 5:
5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
The Word of GOD is not just a spoken foreknowledge, for the Word of GOD is itself CREATIVE ENERGY. Jesus specifically operated in this creative power and energized each of the three people in the above passages. It mattered not that they had been in their condition for eighteen or thirty-eight years, The power in His Words exercised the appropriate energy and power to correct their conditions. Without His Words of power, they would have continued in their current state.
In Hebrews chapter 4, it is written by THE SPIRIT:
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
As the Sons and Daughters fully grasp and embrace this reality, we will not only tap into this power but will walk in It without restriction.
