Just like in the beginning, God spoke and created our world so also we who are reborn in and through Christ Jesus our Lord can speak things that are not as though they are – meaning we can call things into being by faith and they will show up or manifest. But, the things we call forth have to be approved and/or allowed by God so it brings HIM glory and praise. Also, the motivation for calling forth these things has to be love for others and not just for ourselves. In short, because of love we should say and do things for others just like Christ did when HE walked the earth (including praying for miracles, asking for healing and/or changes for others lives etc). For the next couple of weeks, we will share words and verses that will reveal what God says about expressing Love and creating things in our world via the words we say. Your comments are welcome:
Let all of us be very careful not to speak hurtful things about others, Dont gossip or help spread rumours James 4:11, 2 Corinthians 12:20, Proverbs 12:18, Ephesians 4:29. Also, please do not judge or condemn others or over criticize them Matthew 7:1, Luke 6:37. As you do unto others, the same may be done to you Galatians 6:7. Rather let praises and encouragement come from you as you esteem others higher than you esteem yourself Philippians 2:3, Romans 12:10, Hebrews 10:24-25, Hebrews 3:13.
May God help us be more like HIM in Jesus name, Amen.
