Words have Power

I was going over some old Chuck Tracks today, and for those of you who don't know what they are, Chuck Tracks are recorded teachings for Chuck Smith. A brilliant man who was extremely gifted with teaching the Word of God and the founded Calvary Chapel Bible Fellowships and the Calvary Chapel Bible College. But as I was looking one over I came across a section talking about how God had created the world with Words. The fact that God contained so much power that at His Word, as He spoke, The light was created in the darkness and with the next two sentences He created land and water to be formed into existence out of nothing and for there to be a separation of heaven and earth. I DONT KNOW IF WE WILL EVER FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS! God just said let there be light and “BAM!!!!!!!!!” there was light! Its easy to read that and just move right over it to the next part, but stop and imagine this. God, in the infinite expanse of nothing and darkness, decides to speak and in the time it takes Him to say "let there be light," every star in the sky burst into existence! Try this, speak that sentence out loud right now. Let there be light. How long did that just take you? How much effort did it take to say those words? What happened when you spoke them? With the same effort God spoke them and the entire plain of existence was forever changed...

 

I already told you with His next two sentences He separated the heavens and the earth and He created dry land and oceans to be formed. Its similar, God again only spoke, and they were created. God created matter with the expelling of wind and sound. Words. Words contain Power. "Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. " — Pearl Strachan Hurd. With the creation of matter came the creation of atoms, for atoms lay in the heart of all matter. Do you know what is contained at the center of every atom? Protons and Neutrons, positive and neutral electronic charges. Many of us at one point in life if not more than once have taken a magnet and tried to stick it to another magnet with the same polarity. Some magnets are so strong we cant do that, other magnets we can stick together but it takes effort. We usually have to force them together and us force to hold them together, or they will repel away from each other. At the heart of an atom there are any number of protons but as of right now the largest element atom contains 92 and is uranium and the smallest is hydrogen with 1. Why am I teaching you this strange science lesson you might ask? Keep reading and let me tell you. If we were to take 1 teaspoon of protons and put it at the north pole and 1 teaspoon of protons at the south pole, that's positive electric charge. It would take 30,000 TONS of pressure to hold them that close. Any less pressure and they would ricocheting into space, like a bucket of bouncy balls dropped from the empire state building! This is huge!

 

God binds all of these protons together at the center of each atom! Using way more force than I mentioned above to hold them together and created everything out of them! And how do you think He did it? With words! He spoke and it was. There was no delay or God getting His hands dirty, He simply said it and it was done. “Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.”— Yehuda Berg. That is the Power of Words. Words contain an amazing amount of weight. They are so immensely important to us as humans and can make a huge change in our lives for the better or the worse. But to God they contain more power than we can ever imagine!

John 1:1-5&14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."

We know from this passage that Jesus was the Word of God incarnate, in the flesh made to walk and talk with us as a man. Nothing was made without Him. It was through Jesus all of this was made, light and darkness, the heavens and the earth, water and land. God did it all with Jesus. The man of the hour! The man whose words healed the sick and lame, whose words set the captives fee, whose words set us free from transgressions and sins, whose dying words were "Father forgive them!" Another quote that I could not shake as I wrote this comes to mind. “Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.” ― Patrick Rothfuss. Jesus spoke and people wept, they turned there lives in a whole new way. People who did not know Him followed after Him at being simply asked. They gave up everything to be with Jesus, because He was the living Word and as I have stated all through this blog Words have Power!

I hope that this was to you what it was to me, a whole lot of fun to think about. This blog has taken me 3 days to write due to so much thought and so much joy discovering and researching Gods amazing Word! Please comment or message me with your thoughts or comments or questions. I would love to know your honest feed back and to hear your honest thoughts and feelings on this.

Much love,
