Word Potential: Essays on the Faculty of Spoken Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997948370)

"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 originally

with 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.
