Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
The Word of His power! Pastor Ken Babington said when he first read that he that He thought it was a typo, it should have been the power of His word, but no, Jesus IS the Word of His power.
The Word comes from, and is a part of God the creator!
Psalm 33:6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
The Word is the breath of God. It is with Him and is a part of Him, and if we believe in Him it’s a part of us as well.
2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,’
The God made it flesh to dwell among us!
John 1:14 ‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.’
The verse above breaks all the man made rules and limits of effective writing, yet it rules and makes my personal life effective. The Word changed me. Reading the Bible helped, also known as the Word of God, but that’s not what changed me. What radicalized my life was the Word Made Flesh, Jesus. Now He talks to me through His Word, the Bible, but my Saviour is Jesus.
As stated in John The ‘Word made flesh’ (Jesus) is God, is with God, and was from BEFORE the beginning (eternal, meaning no beginning nor end)
John 1:1 ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’
It’s funny that the modern, ungodly worldly slang uses the word ‘Word’ as a good thing. Word means right or correct! A man who keeps his Word is an honest, honorable man. I have never heard the Word in a negative context. In fact the person who’s Word isn’t good, is the worst kind of person. Christians should be KNOWN as a people group who keep their Word.
The Holy Trinity is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are also mentioned in the first chapter of the old testament as well (which the Jewish people’s Bible)
Genesis 1:1 ‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.’
God spoke, using the Word. The Word is Jesus. The Word is all powerful.
There is power in the Word. We have to believe, respect and reverence it, because it gives us life, and salvation. God spoke and everything you know and see was created. Jesus spoke raising the dead and calming the seas. Yet He chose not to speak when they were condemning Him (good thing for you and me).
We are told to hold in reverence what comes out of our own mouths as well. Exodus 20:16 “Thou shalt not bear false witness” basically means lying. I think our words as believers have power too. That’s why we are told to pray (using words to talk to God)
James 5:13 ‘Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. ‘. We are told to pray for the sick and for our own sickness using words. God says in His Word we have not because we ask (with words) not.
So why is there so much suffering around the world?
James 4:3’yet ye have not, because ye ask not.’
The Bible goes on to tell us in Proverbs 18:21 ‘Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.’
The reason God tells us to bridle our tongues, watch our Words, is because we CAN do so through Him.
James 3:8 ‘But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.’
Man can’t but God can.
Proverbs 10:19 ‘In the multitude of words there lacketh not sin, but he that restraineth his lips is wise.’
I think the reason that many of our prayers don’t work, and our prayers seem to not help problems in this world, is because of how we pray. Do we doubt when we pray? You can not pray and doubt at the same time. We have to do everything possible to have unmoveable faith when we pray. Many times that means changing things in our own lives.
For example, If WE don’t tell the truth 100% of the time, we think other people aren’t good to their Word either, even God. If we know that we sometimes exaggerate or say something that isn’t true we can’t trust everything that comes out of our own mouths. As we learn to pray better and with more faith, our world will be much better.
We teach the children here at Pureheart Pre-k and PureHeartFeedingCenters to pray by our examples. We pray with them and for them. All children love it when you pray for them. Most non-believing adults don’t, because they don’t believe in the power of the Word anymore. They don’t revere it, so it has no power to help them, nor keep them from sinning.
We stress the power of the Word, with faith, as much as possible with our toddlers.
Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
speaking of Words, I am trying to put together a book of our experiences down here but do not have a clue how to do it, the following only has a third of it contained
any and all comments, good and bad, happily received

Palabra
Hebreos 1: 3 Quien fue el resplandor de su gloria, y la imagen expresa de su persona, y defendiendo todas las cosas por la palabra de su poder, cuando purificó nuestros pecados, se sentó a la diestra de la Majestad en la mano derecha. alto:
La Palabra de Su poder! El pastor Ken Babington dijo cuando leyó por primera vez que creía que era un error tipográfico, debería haber sido el poder de su palabra, pero no, Jesús es la palabra de su poder.
Juan 1:14. Y la Palabra se hizo carne, y habitó entre nosotros (y vimos su gloria, la gloria como del unigénito del Padre), lleno de gracia y de verdad.
Este versículo rompe todas las reglas hechas por hombre y los límites de la escritura efectiva, pero rige y hace que mi vida personal sea efectiva.
La Palabra me cambió. La lectura de la Biblia ayudó, también conocida como la Palabra de Dios, pero eso no fue lo que me cambió. Lo que radicalizó mi vida fue la Palabra hecha carne, Jesús. Ahora Él me habla a través de Su Palabra, la Biblia, pero mi Salvador es Jesús.
La Palabra, como se dice en Juan es Dios, está con Dios y fue desde ANTES del comienzo (eterno) Juan 1: 1,’En el principio era la Palabra, y la Palabra estaba con Dios, y la Palabra era Dios’.
Es gracioso que la jerga mundana impía y moderna use la palabra “Palabra” como algo bueno. Palabra significa correcto. Un hombre que guarda su Palabra es un hombre honesto y honorable. Nunca he escuchado la Palabra en un contexto negativo. De hecho, la persona que tiene la palabra no es buena, es la peor clase de persona que existe.
La Santísima Trinidad es Dios el Padre, Dios el Hijo, y Dios el Espíritu Santo. Jesús y el Espíritu Santo también se mencionan en el primer capítulo del Antiguo Testamento (la Biblia del pueblo judío)
Génesis 1: 1 En el principio, Dios creó el cielo y la tierra. 2 Y la tierra estaba sin forma, y vacía; Y la oscuridad estaba sobre la faz de lo profundo. Y el Espíritu de Dios se movió sobre la faz de las aguas. 3 Y dijo Dios: Sea la luz; y fue la luz. Dios habló, usando la Palabra.
La Palabra es Jesus. Hay poder en la Palabra. Tenemos que creerlo y respetarlo, porque nos da vida y salvación. Dios habló y todo lo que ves fue creado. Jesús habló resucitando a los muertos y calmando los mares. Sin embargo, Él optó por no hablar cuando lo estaban condenando (algo bueno para ti y para mí).
El nos dice que también respetemos lo que sale de nuestras propias bocas. Éxodo 20:16 “No darás falso testimonio” básicamente significa no mentir.
Creo que nuestras palabras como creyentes también tienen poder. Es por eso que Dios dice que debemos orar (usando palabras para hablar con El). Nos dice que oremos por los enfermos. Dios dice en Su Palabra que no tenemos porque no pedimos. La Biblia continúa contándonos en Proverbios 18:21 ‘la vida está en el poder de la lengua, y los que la aman comerán su fruto.’
La razón por la que Dios nos dice que pongamos freno a nuestra lengua, cuide nuestras palabras, es porque PODEMOS a través de Él.
Santiago 3: 8 8 Pero la lengua puede ningún hombre domesticado, es un mal ingobernable, lleno de veneno mortal.
El hombre no puede, pero Dios si puede.
Proverbios 10:19 En la multitud de palabras no faltan los pecados, sino el que restringe sus labios es sabio.
Creo que muchas de nuestras oraciones no funcionan porque si no decimos la verdad 100% del tiempo, pensamos que otras personas no son honestos en su Palabra tamp, ni siquiera Dios.
Si sabemos que a veces exageramos o decimos algo que no es cierto, no podemos confiar en todo lo que sale de nuestras bocas.
Enseñamos a los niños aquí en Pureheart Pre-k y PureHeartFeedingCenters a orar, orando con ellos y por ellos. A todos los niños les encanta cuando oras por ellos. La mayoría de los adultos no creyentes no tanto porque ya no creen en el poder de la Palabra. No lo veneran, así que no tiene poder para ayudarlos, ni para evitar que pecen.
Hacemos hincapié en el poder de la Palabra tanto como sea posible con niños pequeños.
Salmo 119: 11 En tu corazón he escondido tu palabra, para no pecar contra ti.
