[John 6:63 “… The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.]

In our opening verse, Jesus said His Words are Spirit and life. This means the Word of God has spiritual power to produce what it talks about. In every situation, God expects us to use the Word to determine the outcome. In Mark 4:35-41, the disciples were sailing across the sea while Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat. Then they encountered a dangerous storm that the boat was almost sinking. So the disciples in panic woke up Jesus and He simply spoke this words to the storm “Peace, be still!” and the storm responded – the storm ceased! How, the Word He spoke carried spiritual power to what He said. However, this is not limited to Jesus. After He spoke to the storm and the storm ceased, He asked the disciples “where is your faith?” This means Jesus expected them to do what He did – speak to the storm just as He did. This means just as the Words Jesus speaks carries spiritual power, when we speak the Word which is His Word, the same Word carries spiritual power to change every circumstance of life. So no matter the situation that is confronting you, begin to speak the Word of God to that situation, believe what you say and Mark 11:23 says “you will have what you say.” The Word will produce what you say for the Word of God is spirit and life.
