Words Govern the Realm of the Spirit • Deshen Daily

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Heb. 11:3 KJV)

The profound power of words extends far beyond their physical impact. While it’s evident that words can shape emotions and relationships in the physical world, their true potency is unveiled in the spiritual realm. In this domain, governed by God’s own words, the impact of speech is transformative and eternal.

Scripture reveals that God spoke the universe into existence, a concept that may seem unfathomable to the secular mind. Yet, by faith, we grasp this truth: the entirety of creation, seen and unseen, was formed by the divine utterance of God. It is a mystery embraced through faith, often misunderstood by those not spiritually inclined.

In the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the authority of words was manifest. He calmed storms with His command (Mark 4:39-41) and asserted dominion over demons through spoken word (Matt. 8:16). He taught us to speak to life’s obstacles as if conversing with a mountain, commanding it to move.

Embracing this power involves more than refraining from negative speech; it’s about actively declaring truth and life. God has entrusted us with His Word, empowering us to shape our reality by speaking things into being, mirroring His creative essence.

Meditate

Reflect deeply on [Hebrews 11:3]. Whisper it, then proclaim it boldly. Affirm that your life aligns with the powerful and life-giving Word of God.

Apply the Word

Begin to speak out actively. Proclaim God’s truths over your life (Ps. 2:7). Be mindful of your words, recognizing their spiritual weight. Speak life, not death, into your circumstances.

Pray

Express gratitude to God for the gift of His Word. Ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance to understand words’ profound influence and use your speech to affirm life and truth.
