Words spoken by God

 God’s words…

Through all the ages, there has always been an attack on the words spoken by God.

Right at the beginning of creation, the devil questioned the words of God - a command that God gave Adam: ”Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Gen 2:16-17). He won Eve over with these words: “Did God really say…” and  “You will surely not die, but become like God” (Gen 3). 

When Jesus was on the earth, God the Father’s spoken words was questioned: God said of Jesus after his baptism: “This is my Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased” (Matt 3:17), but these same words were questioned by the devil when Jesus was tempted in the dessert: “If you are the Son of God…” (Matt 4:3,6).

Today, the credibility of God’s spoken and written word (the Bible) are still being questioned, and even more severe than ever, because Bibles cannot be burnt any more, and the life and death of Jesus did happen…  

Questioned often voiced are:  

Was Jesus really born from a virgin…? 

Did Jesus really live a sinless life?

Did He really rose from the dead?

All that the enemy wants is for me and you to agree with him, away from what the Bible proclaim as the truth. But, in these last days, let us not be ashamed of the truth written in the Word of God when confronted by these questions that wants to provoke doubt.

Even in our personal lives, the spoken words of God are frequently questioned by 

“Did God really say…?”

“There is no breakthrough, why do you still hold on to God’s words?”

“Why do these things happen to you…?”

Again, all that the enemy wants is for me and you to agree with him, to doubt God and walk away from the words that God spoke to us! 

I want to encourage you to stick to the Word of God- to the words God spoken to you, the words God spoke over your situation! Let us counter thoughts of unbelief by speaking God’s word(s) in faith over our lives!  Write them down and meditate on them! Faith pleases God and in the end, all things work out for the good for those who love God! (Rom 8:28)
