God means what he says and says what he means.
Then the Lord said to Moses, "I have heard the Israelites' complaints. Now tell them, 'In the evening you will have meat to eat, and in the morning you will have all the bread you want. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God. That evening vast numbers of quail flew in and covered the camp. And the next morning the area around the camp was wet with dew. When the dew evaporated, a flaky substance as fine as frost blanketed the ground.'' *Exodus 16:11-13*
Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them. *Isaiah 55:10 -11*
2. Jesus is the word of God
God's word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood.
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him... John 1:1
So the Word became human and made his home among us. John 1:14
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2
3. God and his word are one
To believe God is to believe his word. The integrity of God is dependent on his word.
I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. Psalm 138:2
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. John 1:1
4. God's word is God's power
Everything God will do in and for you will be done through his word.
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. Hebrews 4:12
who being the brightness of [His] glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high Hebrews 1:3
Now I'm turning you over to God, our marvelous God whose gracious Word can make you into what he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need in this community of holy friends. Acts 20:32
5. We live by God's word
God's word is the substance of a Christian's life; our values, ideals and actions must be shaped by his word.
Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:3
And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed. Joshua 1:8
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and [they] are life. John 6:63
6. God's word is for you
God had you in mind when he gave the word. Your identity is defined by it. Your duty is to find your word and meditate on, declare and insist on it.
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." Luke 4:20-21
Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:16
On finding God's word, there are general and specific words for you.
All the promises of God are for you (2 Cor 1:20), so while finding and working on your specific word, get a hold of your known promises and put them on your mouth.
Let's try one now
Lets declare God's promise from Isaiah 60:1-3.
'I arise, I shine; For my light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon me. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over me, And His glory will be seen on me. Nations shall come to my light, And kings to the brightness of my rising.''
And we keep saying it until it comes to physical manifestation.
7. God cannot lie to you
God is faithful to his word, he cannot deny himself. What he has told you will surely come to pass. Wait for it.
God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good? Numbers 23:19
If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is. 2 Timothy 2:13
We often times see 'God cannot lie' as a choice God is making not to lie (like humans).
For instance, if we can all see a white chair and we ask God what the colour of the chair is? If God says blue, then who is correct?
Of course, we will all say God because we want to assume that God must be seeing something in it that we are not seeing (religion).
The truth is all you need to do is to look at the chair again and it will have turned to blue.
His words have the inherent power to change the colour of the chair to conform with what God says. God cannot lie because his words create what he says.
So hold on to his words it will surely come true for you.
