At the very start, the first verses of the bible say; “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1v1) this was the beginning of creation, but it wasn’t the beginning of God, He is outside of time and space, and He dwells in eternity. Long before He created the heavens and the earth, only the spiritual realm existed, this physical world we live in today hasn’t always existed, it was created.

How was this physical world created, you may ask, and the answer is, by God’s words, when God said, “Let there be light” His words, slung this universe into existence from the image that was inside God. Those words of creation were filled with God’s faith, He and His words are the same.

So there is a common denominator between the world of the spirit and this natural created world. When God created man, He created him to be like Himself, and that is to be a living speaking spirit with the ability to create with words. Isn’t that incredible, God’s plan is for us to create with our words, just like He creates with His words.

The book of Genesis also tells us how man gave away his ability to speak things into being, Adam bowed his need to a spiritual outlaw, satan and this broke the connection between heaven and earth. There was now no one who could connect back to heaven, the Word that linked heaven and earth was broken, and therefore the communication between God and man was also broken.

God didn’t abandon us; He puts into motion His plan of redemption, which he had in mind even before He created the world. Forty-two generations later, God’s words came to pass, His word became flesh in Jesus, who came to restore God original plan for man. In John 15:7 Jesus said, “If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you”. How is this possible? You might ask, it’s because the connection between heaven and earth is restored through Jesus.

God Himself intends His Word to bring to pass whatever we speak the moment our words of faith are released, the link has now been reconnected between heaven and earth.

When you receive what Jesus has done, you have become a son or daughter of God, and just like the first man Adam, you are reconnected by the power of the living word.

Concluding with a Gospel message: Being born again in the image of God is the choice that replaces the sin nature, with God’s nature.

Salvation is a free gift that God offers us all because of His unconditional love through the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf: “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8).

Salvation is not something we deserve, nor is it something we can earn. It is a gift that was purchased and paid for by the blood of Jesus. Through the cross, God laid the punishment for our sin on Jesus so that we might have right-standing with God through faith in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21).

It’s important to realize that there is only one way to God, and that is through Jesus Christ, the Lord, and Savior of the world (John 14:6). The Word of God says if you believe with your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and confess Jesus as your Lord, you will be saved (Romans 10:9–10).

God bless you,
