In memory of Leo Ramos
Words have power because they CREATE. Our spoken words create visions, dreams, joy, sorrow, pride, shame, fear, boldness, love, hate, war, peace, doubt, faith, life, death.
I’m trying to think of the most powerful word in the universe. Is it “God”? He is our CREATOR. Some say, yes because “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…All things were made by him…and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” (John 1). Scripture testifies that the Word is God, even if one does not believe in Jesus, the word “God” may still be the most powerful word to that person.
To some, the most powerful word is “DEATH” because they’ve concluded that there is no God, that death is the end of all other powers. But to a believer in God, whether a believer that Jesus is Lord (God) or not, “God” is the most powerful word because God cannot die….that even if God were to chose to experience death, God would rise from the dead to prove that death is not the most powerful word… hmmm.
That is exactly what the “WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us” DID! Jesus rose from the dead! Which brings me to a word that I believe is the most powerful word coming out of the mouth of the most powerful WORD: “LIVE.” (Ezekiel 16:6), and because God is speaking, “LIVE”, the implication is to “LIVE FOREVER.”
God Lives! <—the two most powerful words in the universe!
