Derrick was an inspiring Christian rap artiste; he’d released two smash-hit singles and begun to get some recognition from other performers in the secular world. They approached him, advising that he should, (since he was becoming famous) now release songs that were different from the message of Jesus Christ to gain more popularity. Derrick refused all that, because he knew where his inspiration had come from—the Lord Jesus. He’d been given the innate ability to compose and rap verses of inspiration and heavenly praise, and he wasn’t about to perform words inspired by the world!
Jesus tells us in the verses above that everything that He said came from the Father. He also said, “…I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak” (John 12:50). Amazing! In John 20:21, He said, “…Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” He wasn’t only talking to Peter, James, John or the other Apostles, but to us today. Thus, the same way He spoke the Father’s words, words from heaven, we’re to speak heavenly words; divine words.
Hebrews 13:5-6 says, “…He Himself has said…So we may boldly say….” Don’t speak from yourself, speak His Word. Be a master of words like Jesus. He said, “I don’t speak my own words.” That’s why He was a victor at every count and had the forces of nature under control. He lived the life of heaven on earth.
God designed divinity to be released through words! Words are unlimited because they go into the realm of the spirit. You can speak from your closet, and it will have an impact anywhere in the world. Therefore, when you have a situation to deal with, meditate on the Word; soak your spirit in the Word until only the Word comes out of your mouth—divine from heaven. Hallelujah!
Confession
My life is the testimony of God’s grace. His mercies and compassion surround me every day! I walk in His glory and perfection today, manifesting His righteousness, and exercising the dominion of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
