Matthew 12:37 “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Words are CONTAINERS. They CARRY POWER! Adam was given total authority to rule over every living creature on earth. When Adam sinned, he gave his authority over to Satan, who became the “god” (small “g”) of this world. (2nd Cor. 4:4). God needed someone to do His Will in the earth, so He made a covenant with Abram (changed his name to Abraham), This covenant gave God LEGAL ENTRY into the earth. It was to Abraham and his seed as well as the seed after him. God continued to release His Word through His covenant and JESUS CAME INTO THE EARTH!
God releases His faith with His Words. the Words He speaks are alive and full of power. they are active today because they are eternal, settled in heaven forever (Psalm 119:89). The Word was given to the prophets to make the people free. The word was given to Moses to release Israel from bondage. The WORD WAS MADE FLESH TO MAKE MANKIND FREE.
John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The WORD IS TRUTH, and the WORD THAT YOU KNOW (not just read) WILL MAKE YOU FREE!
