Faith that Moves Mountains: The Creative Force of the Tongue
Welcome to Word of Life Study Series- Faith that moves mountains! We see in Scripture an amazing pattern with God that is repeated many times. It appears that God does not do anything without saying it first. His creative all powerful words framed this present universe; established natural and spiritual laws and boundaries. Since humanity was created in God’s image, we speak words as well. As children of God our goal is to learn to speak after what our Heavenly Father has already said- that is a simple definition of Biblical confession- speaking the Word of God, Heb. 3:1.
1. Spiritual Laws
Just as there are natural laws that govern the course, and operation of the natural world, there are spiritual laws that govern the course, and operation of the spiritual world. The spiritual world has always been in existence, because God is a spirit being, and always pre-existed. The spirit realm is more real than the natural realm. The more we meditate on, and learn to operate in the spiritual world of God’s Kingdom, the more real those laws will become to us.
2. Words – A Creative Force
God’s Word that is conceived in our heart, then formed by the tongue, and spoken out of our own mouth, becomes a spiritual force releasing the ability of God within us. The spoken Word of God is creative power. The kingdom of God responds to faith filled words. God never did anything that He didn’t say first. He said it, then He did it. The power to do it was in the spoken Word. One translation of the Bible (concordant literal NT) puts Luke 1:37 this way, “It will not be impossible with God to fulfill his every declaration.”
3. Not Made out of what was Visible
Words are unseen to the five senses but they are real. We cannot see electricity, but it has power to bless or destroy. We cannot see atoms but they are the building blocks of the universe. As human beings we get so hung up on seeing it first before we believe it. But there are a lot of things we cannot see, but we see the affect they have on us, and the world we live in. Heb. 11:3, “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
4. The Law of Genesis
The law of Genesis was established by God as a fixed law from the very beginning of creation. This law operates in the spiritual realm as well as the natural. The law of Genesis is this, “Everything produces after its own kind, and the seed is in itself.” It works this way all the time; it’s an absolute law. If we take vegetables for example, the seed to produce more vegetables is found in the vegetable itself. In the act of creation, God made the vegetable first with seed in it in order to perpetuate it from then on. Therefore the age old question of , “which came first, the chicken or the egg” is already answered by the Bible- the chicken, carrot, flower, tree, animal, fish, and the man came first. Within God’s creation was the seed to re-produce itself from then on, and forever.
5. The Dynamic Kernels
I would like to share an incredible illustration that I found from “Believe It Or Not” by Ripley. It will illustrate the law of increase for us. This principle has been so powerful for humanity when we worked it in the natural, just imagine how powerful it is going to be for us when we use the Word of God as our incorruptible seed. The harvest will just blow us away. Instead of just reaping wheat and cotton, we will start reaping new births, healings, prosperity, peace and love!
