Speak the Word

The awesome power of the spoken word of God is superior to anything man could ever fathom. The word is quick(or alive) and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword comprised by man's skillful craftsmanship. Worlds were created be the mere utterance of God. Christians should meditate upon this, until it reverberates in their hearts. In the following text we will be shown the dynamic power of God's spoken word.
    We read in Matthew 8:5-13 about the healing of a certain centurion's servant. How the centurion would not let Jesus come to his home ,but insisted for Jesus to just "speak the word." We see that Jesus marveled at this Gentiles faith and granted his request for his servant to be healed . There are many things about God that can be revealed through this passage.
    First, the centurion realized that Jesus was the Christ or Anointed One. Thus he realized that Christ had full authority over sickness, sin and death. The man understood that Jesus had been anointed of the Spirit without measure. He truly believed whatever Jesus said would be accomplished.(see v.8,9)We as Christians need to realize that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth. What He says is final. (see Eph.1:20,21) We have just discussed the milk of the text, so now let us move on to the meat of the word, and how to apply this lesson to actual life.
Look at the following verses of scripture:
John1:1,14
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us,(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)full of grace and truth.
    These verses need to be meditated on heavily. In this scripture we can see that Jesus is the Word and the Word is Jesus. Jesus will not speak anything contrary to the will of God.(John 12:49) You may be wondering what the will of god is ,but the answer is simple. The Word of God reveals the will of God. Just like Jesus shows us how to be like the Father, because He is the Word in the flesh. Everything the Bible says, Jesus is, and everything Jesus is ,the Bible declares, Hallelujah!!! Well, what does that have to do with the centurion and his servant? Everything!!! You see the centurion believed Jesus' word ,that his servant was healed. That's great ,but "what has Jesus said to me ?"you may be wondering . He has actually said a great deal, hundreds of promises. They are all in the Bible , we must read and study the Bible to realize what belongs to us in Christ. "Faith cometh by hearing "( Romans 10:17) We as Christians must know the word in order to believe it.
    The centurion asked Jesus to come and heal his servant. We as believers need to ask Jesus to meet our needs .(Matt.7:7) We are not to merely ask, we should believe that we receive when we ask.(Mark11:24) The reason we do not receive is because we do not believe. The reason we do not believe mat be because we have not heard the word.
    We as the Body Of Christ should renew our minds daily with the word of God.(Romans 12:1,2) This means to have the word so engraved on our heart that we will know and believe the word of the Lord.(Pro.3:3) Then, and only  then, will our words truly express what we believe. Exactly like the centurion did. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.(Matt.12:34) For we as Christians are commanded to call "those things that be not as though they are."
    Thus this is the conclusion of the matter, we need to know what the Bible promises us to equip us to receive from the Lord. Many come to Jesus like the centurion, but they do not have the faith to believe that Jesus can speak to there situation . You really must realize He actually has given us the WORD to speak.
