The Unstoppable Power of God’s Word

It was -10°F in Fairbanks a few mornings ago.
It was 0° this morning. It’s snowed more days than not in the last couple of weeks, and there are three feet of snow in my yard. Instead of the springy, slushy, sunny, melty April we expected, we’re basically repeating March.
But I know that even though it looks and feels like winter will never end, spring can’t not come. Whether the snow is here for another three weeks or six, at some point, the heat of the sun will overcome those icy crystals and grass and flowers will appear once again.
GOD’S WORD CAN’T BE STOPPED
As I reflected on this truth this morning, I was reminded of God’s promise found in Isaiah 55:10-11: “As the rain and snow come down from heaven and stay upon the ground to water the earth, and cause the grain to grow and to produce seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry, so also is my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It shall accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it” (TLB).
Sometimes, the manifestation of God’s Word is delayed, as we see in the story of Daniel’s delayed answer to prayer (Daniel 10:12-17).
But ultimately, His Word can’t not produce results. Just like snow that can’t withstand the heat of the sun, no problem can withstand God’s Word; His Word will produce fruit in our lives.
However, often the manifestation of God’s will does require our cooperation. We must also speak what God has spoken.
The Bible teaches that what we say can draw us toward life or toward death, toward joy or toward depression, toward purposefulness or toward aimlessness. For example, Proverbs 18:21 tells us that “the tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences” (Proverbs 18:21 NLT).
There is power in the words we speak, and there is supernatural power when we speak God’s words.
SPEAK THE TRUTH
So, whether the truth feels true or not, keep speaking it over your life:
You are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).
You have gifts and callings that are irrevocable (Romans 11:29).
You can do anything through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13).
You are God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).
You are loved (1 John 4:9-10).
Speak whatever God has spoken to you, and don’t give up until you see your victory break through!

...Is it time to say goodbye to something in your life? Leaving can be hard because it can feel like losing—and sometimes it does come with a loss.
But so often what we let go of is vastly outweighed by what we gain when we open our hands in trust...
