THE WORD OF GOD WILL BRING "IT" INTO EXISTENCE!
“… He (Jesus) had a
name written, that no man knew … his name is called The Word of God…”
(Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).
*
“…The heavens are telling the
glory of God; they are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship. ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT). Some of
the visual manifestations of God are the heavens and they SPEAK. All of creation, in fact, speak about God; his
goodness, his wisdom, and his power.
King David, the psalmist, says the heavens
SPEAK and TELL of God’s glory through the WORKS of creation. The heavens TELL,
without a single written or human word, that God is infinitely GREAT, good, and
powerful. The heavens SPEAK through the spacious sky, the sparkling stars or
vast astronomy, the various planets, the sun, and the moon. “…The heavens are … a marvelous
display of his craftsmanship. ….”
(Psalms 19:1 NLT).
The heavenly displays are DECLARING ,
PREACHING, TELLING that God exists. “…The heavens are telling the glory of God. ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT).
Creation is a LANGUAGE that speaks to all
nations and tongues. “…The heavens are telling …[and]… are a
marvelous display of his craftsmanship. ….”
(Psalms 19:1 NLT). “… Day
unto day [they] uttereth speech, and
… sheweth knowledge…” (Psalms 19:2-3 KJV).
The CREATION is a LANGUAGE written by the
WORKS of the Holy Spirit and it SPEAKS knowledge, nonstop, without a single
human word. “… Day unto
day uttereth speech, and night unto
night sheweth knowledge…” (Psalms 19:2-3 KJV).
It can be read and understood without
skills in any particular spoken or written language by humans. “…There is no speech nor
language, where their voice is not heard…” (Psalms
19:2-3 KJV).
The Creation language
is always speaking through its glorious heaven, its magnificent earth, its
perpetual fruitfulness, its nourishing vegetation, its common and rare animals,
its manifold benefits, and its sustaining operations.
“…The sun lives in the heavens where God placed it and
moves out across the skies as radiant as a bridegroom going to his
wedding, or as joyous as an athlete looking forward to a race! The
sun crosses the heavens from end to end, and nothing can hide from its heat…”
(Psalms 19:4-6 NLT).
The author of the
creation language is God and he SPEAKS through every WORK that can be SEEN by
what has been MADE. “…Since
the CREATION of the world God’s INVISIBLE
QUALITIES … have been “CLEARLY SEEN”,
being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV).
“…Then
God SAID, “Let there be light”; AND THERE WAS LIGHT…” (Genesis 1:3
NASB).
As CREATOR, God is discovered through the
revelation knowledge of a LANGUAGE spoken by his creative WORKS.
This CREATION is an example of the POWER of the
WORD OF GOD. “…BY THE
WORD of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of
His mouth all their host…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).
The WORD of GOD is PROOF that creation did
not happen by chance or a big bang, but was MADE or came into existence by a
UNIQUE POWER; God himself!! “…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …”
(Genesis 1:1, 31 KJV).
“… BY FAITH (by depending upon God's powerful Word) we understand that THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at
God’s command (WORD), that what we now see did not come from anything that can
be seen…” (Hebrews 11 NLT).
CREATION is PROOF of a LANGUAGE spoken by God and ACTIVATED by the WORKS of the Holy
Spirit. The CREATION is PROOF of a HOLY language that SPEAKS ALL things INTO existence. The WORKS of the Holy
Spirit was ACTIVATED by the WORD OF GOD, which reveals God's presence through his acts of goodness. “…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 came into being through Him,
and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being …
(John 1:1-4 NASB). “…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made…” (Psalms 33:6
NASB).
The CREATION is PROOF of a
LANGUAGE spoken by God and ACTIVATED by the WORKS of the Holy Spirit. It REVEALS God.
God’s WORKS speak,
which means what God does or his actions speak for him. When God’s WORKS speak
it REVEALS who he is.
Jesus was a creation or workd of God.“…so you
have made ready this body (earthen
vessel) of mine …” (Hebrews 10:4-8 NLT).
Jesus SPOKE and REVEALED GOD. “…The only begotten (specially created) Son (Jesus, the WORD), of the
Father, he hath declared (explained or REVEALED) him…”
(John 1:18 KJV).“... He (THE WORD) is a light to reveal God to the nations...” (Luke 2:32 NLT). “.. A Light of revelation...” (LUKE 2:32 NASB).
Thus, God’s “HOLY” NATURE is also revealed
through HIS “GLORIOUS” WORKS. “…God’s … DIVINE
NATURE …[is]…“CLEARLY SEEN” … FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…”
(Romans 1:20 NIV).
God’s glorious WORKS speak of his glorious
NATURE. “… “I AM WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…The invisible [GOD]…from the creation of
the world is …clearly
seen, being understood by the
things that are MADE …” (Romans 1:20
KJV). “ ... All things came into being (was created) through Him, and apart
from Him nothing came into being (was created)
that has come into
being…” (John 1:3 NASB). “… I am
He...'"
(Isaiah 41:4 NASB). “… I am the first
and I am the last…”
(Isaiah 44:6 NASB). "… I am the Alpha and the Omega," …"
(Revelation 1:8 NASB).
God’s glorious NATURE is “clearly” revealed
throughout creation because it is filled with his glorious WORKS. “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (his divine nature; his powerful works)…”
(Number 14:21 NLT). “… “I AM WHO I AM … who is …
who was and who is to come, the Almighty (the holy nature;
the holy power)…" (Exodus 3:14-15 & Revelation 1:8
NASB).
God’s glorious nature and works, in the
world, is HOW GOD makes himself KNOWN to mankind. “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (his holy presence in the goodness of his holy acts) (Isaiah 6:3). “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (his holy presence revealed in the goodness of his holy acts)…”
(Number 14:21 NLT).
God’s holy works say “I exist” or I am real. His HOLY NATURE is realized through CREATION, which is PROOF of a Godly language. “…Since the CREATION of the world God’s
INVISIBLE QUALITIES—… HIS DIVINE NATURE—have been “CLEARLY SEEN”…” (Romans
1:20 NIV).
“…HIS DIVINE NATURE—have been “CLEARLY SEEN”, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS
BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV). “…God who
created all things…” (Ephesians 3:3-4, 9 NASB). “… there
is but one God, the Father, from whom are all
things …” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB).“..Worthy
art Thou, our Lord and God … for Thou didst create all things…”
(Revelation 4:11 NASB).
God is love. Love introduces himself
through CREATION.
CREATION says God is POWERFUL, MAJESTIC, GOOD, LOVING, SOVEREIGN, a PROVIDER,
A GUIDE, and is DEPENDABLE. . “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (his holy presence witnessed in the goodness of his creation)…”
(Isaiah 6:3). “…the earth is filled
with the LORD's GLORY (his holy presence witnessed through the goodness of his holy, creative actions)…”
(Number 14:21 NLT).
From the very beginning the CREATION is PROOF of the power of the WORD of God revealed, to you, through the WORK of the Holy Spirit. “…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 came into being through Him,
and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being …
(John 1:1-4 NASB).
The CREATION is PROOF of the POWER of the Word of God and is a HOLY, SPIRITUAL, and
LIVING message, which reveals God TO THE NATIONS. “... He (THE WORD) is a light to reveal God to the nations...” (Luke 2:32 NLT). “.. A Light of revelation...” (LUKE 2:32 NASB).
For example look at his HOLY nature, HOLY word, and HOLY power of God in the CREATION :
“….Now the earth was formless
and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters…[In the
beginning was the WORD. Therefore,] God said
(SPOKE), “Let there be light,”
and there was light (the Holy Spirit
CREATED)….God
said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to
separate water from water.” …God made
the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And
it was so. God
called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there
was morning—the second day. God said,
“Let the water
under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.”
And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” …God
said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants
and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to
their various kinds.” And it was so. The
land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and
trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. …God said,
“Let there be
lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night,
and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let
them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was
so. God made two
great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern
the night. He also made the stars. God
set them in
the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the
day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. …God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly
above the earth across the vault of the sky.” …God
created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the
water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every
winged bird according to its kind. …God
said, “Let the land
produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock,
the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according
to its kind.” And it was so. …God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds,
and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds…” (Genesis
1 KJV).
“…the
invisible things of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN…”
(Romans 1:20 KJV).
“… HE Himself GIVES to all people LIFE and BREATH and all things…”
(Acts 17:25 NASB).
“…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …” (Genesis 1:1, 31 KJV).
“…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …” (Genesis 1:1, 31 KJV).
“…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of
His mouth all their host…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).
The CREATION continues to SPEAK through
the sustaining WORKS of the Holy Spirit. AND the Holy Spirit continues to DO whatever the
Word of God instructs by bringing THINGS into existence or creation.
“…BY THE WORD of the Lord … All things came into being … and
apart from [the WORD] nothing came into being that has come into being … ”
(Psalms 33:6 NASB & John 1:1-4 NASB).
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE SOURCE OF IT ALL!
