Romans chapter 10 Verse 8 says: “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.”
You frame your life with words. The word of Salvation, and the word that brings you help is right inside your mouth, but what does it say, he says the word is near you, It is even in your mouth and in your heart, That is, the word of faith which we preach, then he explains it, the next verse “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus” did you notice that? “That if you would confess with your mouth…” To confess Jesus means to declare Jesus, to affirm Jesus into your life.
The Bible says, “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9). To confess the Lord Jesus means to declare, affirm, and confess Jesus as Lord with your mouth. If you would declare that Jesus is Lord of your life, believing in your heart that He saved you. You will be saved the Bible way.
A lot of people have been trying for so long to be saved, it didn’t work out so they went back to sin; they tried to serve God, It didn’t work, so they went back to sin; That’s because they didn’t do what God said, God said if you would declare confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord of your life believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead, He says that salvation is for you, and once you have done that you don’t say okay now so I believe in my heart and I confess that Jesus is Lord, so I’m waiting for salvation, No, he says if you do that, salvation is the result it Says thou shalt be saved.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear (Hebrews 11:3).
The Greek word translated “framed” in the opening scripture is “Katartizo”, which is to repair, frame, perfect, mend and restore. This lets us know that by applying the right faith principles, you can “frame”, repair, restore or recreate your world. Through faith, we understand that God framed, mended, restored, and perfected the material world. He framed the visible world from the unseen, revealing to us the power of faith.
Another word to study in our theme verse is “world”, which is translated from the Greek word “aion”. “Aion” refers to the structure and administration of one’s life; how things go with you from day to day, including how they affect your hopes and aspirations. It also refers to the world’s system with respect to socio-economic structures and environmental management of a period in human history, including its arts and sciences.
Bringing this home to your personal life, you can frame how things go with you from day to day by speaking forth God’s Word. God made the whole world by speaking forth words, and as His kids, we have the same creative power inherent in us because we’re made in His image and in His likeness. There’s a creative force in us to frame the kind of life and environment we desire. We can alter our destinies and change the course of events in our world through faith-filled words.
This is the key to recreating your life and fulfilling your dreams. Speak forth today what you want to see in your life, and frame your “aion.” As you utter those words of faith, the Holy Spirit will incubate on them and make them a reality. It makes no difference what has happened in your life in the past; there’s hope for a change. The power for that change is in your mouth. Speak words of faith, blessing, and power and recreate your world! Perfect, mend and restore everything in your “aion!”
“And He said to them, ‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.”
The Lord Jesus appeared to His disciples many times after His resurrection. On one such occasion, He appeared to them when they were returning from an unsuccessful fishing trip. The disciples, who had gone back to fishing, had toiled all night at sea and caught nothing. When Jesus appeared to them in the morning, He asked them if they caught anything, and their reply was negative. Jesus then said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some” (John 21:6).
Now, if there was one place the disciples weren’t expected to find any fish, it was around their boat, as they had troubled that area all night. The fish must have fled from there. But the Bible says, “…they threw the net out and could not pull it back in, because they had caught so many fish” (John 21:6 TEV). Question: “Where did all the fish come from?” They came from the Master’s Word!
The Bible says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen…Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God” (Hebrews 11:1-3 KJV). The fishes were framed by the Word of the Master! 1 John 4:17 says, “…as He is, so are we in this world.” Our words, just like His, have creative ability. So, keep talking the Word and calling real what God has said concerning you, irrespective of circumstances. That’s how to effect any change you desire in your academics, family, health, or character.
