"All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." John 1:3 Can you imagine what it must be like to be full of great ideas and have no way to express them? Imagine if you had an invention, but the world would never see or hear it because of your inability to speak and write. While non-verbal communication is possible, it is not productive. To this end, have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a world without words? Have you considered the dead sound echoing throughout the unframed galaxy before the silence was broken when God released His spoken Word? At the sound of His voice, the worlds came to be and the universe was framed. When released, words are assigned to fulfill a specific purpose in this life and beyond. Words are so important to God that He honors His Word above His name. Words are so important to Him that He used words to frame the worlds and the written Word to govern it (Hebrews 11:1-3). Before there was a world, there was the Word. "In the beginning [before all time] was the Word ([a]Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [b]Himself. 2 He was present originally6 Dr. Tony V. Lewiswith God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being." John 1:1-3 AMP Everything we see around us started as an idea in the mind of God. The world, as we know it, is framed by the words first spoken by God and repeated by men. God thought, He said, He saw. In His image and likeness, He created us speaking spirits. Therefore, as the God class of being, we think, we say, we see. Words are containers. Buried inside of a single word is the ability to reproduce new words. All words have an origin. The root to each word is in its original purpose, and while we build on its original intent, the origin of the word never changes. In fact, word is derived from the Greek definition of spermi, which means life. By this we know that words are life and, when rooted in the human heart, they are incubated to produce by the time we release them from our mouths. There are words and then there is the Word of God. The Word of God is spirit and life. The spirit of His Word is what accomplishes His purpose for our lives.
