In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God. . . .
Book of John
Jesus, the Word, encompasses all the words in the alphabet—Alpha as the classic Greek alphabet’s beginning—and Omega, the last.
Jesus is the ultimate Wisdom because not only does He have the right things to say, but because He, Himself, is the Word needed to unlock mysteries and uncover revelation.
When prophetic words are expressed with pure anointing, they become the incarnated Word Himself. The Spirit of prophecy makes the Word dwell among us.
Who inhabits your words?
Ahhh. What does the Bible say? “He inhabits the praises of His people.” Inhabit: to permeate, ride in, live in (Merriam-Webster).
Purified words of wisdom are inhabited by Jesus’ essence.
They become healing. They administer strength to the weary, especially during trials and waiting. They provide understanding to the seeker. They comfort the hurting. They deliver the oppressed.
On the other hand. . . .
There is a counterfeit word that wants to compete with the Word. His name is satan. A wannabee antonym of Jesus (a mere wannabee because he can’t be pitted against the Lord). He can’t stand a chance though he tries. After all his name is “lie,” while Jesus is the Truth.
Satan uses words to kill, steal, destroy (John 10:10). He is the word that dwells among fear, doubt, unbelief, anxiety, worry, murder, and jealousy, among others. In other words, he inhabits unfruitful deeds of the tongue that only lead to death.
That’s his other synonym: death. While Jesus is the Life.
Words are in the power of the tongue.
Not because of words per se but because of the spirit that inhabits them: is it of satan? Or is it of Jesus?
Satan wants so badly to be the Word. To be a god. That’s why he manufactures vocabulary and language to build his own kingdom.
But only the Word of God endures forever.
So, how do you want your words inhabited today?
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweet and delightful to the soul and healing to the body.
— Proverbs 16:24 (AMP)
