And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
EPHESIANS 3:9
Another unfathomable treasure we have obtained as believers is the revelation of the immeasurable power of God’s Word. This revelation begins with understanding that God “created all things by Jesus Christ.” Like the “fellowship of the mystery,” in these few words we are presented with a truth that is foolishness to the natural mind.
All of creation is the work of Jesus Christ because He is the living Word of God, and God created all things by His Word. John the apostle began his account of the Gospel with this same truth:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
JOHN 1:1-3
JOHN 1:1-3
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.
JOHN 1:14
JOHN 1:14
Jesus is the Word incarnate, and God continues to create all things through His Word, Jesus Christ. As John says, “Without him was not any thing made that was made.” When God spoke, it was the Word, Jesus Christ, who caused God’s intent to come into being, and that is true today.
When God speaks, it is the Word who causes miracles to happen, the sick to be healed, the sinners to be forgiven, the demons to flee, and the weak to be made strong.
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
God speaks from the invisible realm and the Word brings forth a visible reality. We were not a people—not a Church—until Jesus Christ spoke the intent of God into existence and said, “Let there be.” The same creative Word that created light in a dark void created salvation in a heathen heart!
To those who marveled and wondered, How can this be that God would include Gentiles in His plan? Paul said, “It is by the same power that God created the world out of nothing. The Gentiles were brought in and the Church was born out of the mouth of God.”
God sends His Word and His Word causes things to come into existence that were not previously seen or known. God sent His Word in the form of flesh-and-blood humanity into this world and by Christ Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, He caused a Church to be birthed that had not existed before.
God spoke in your heart the truth of Jesus Christ, you believed in Him, and you were birthed again in your spirit. God spoke and the Holy Spirit filled your being so that you entered a new realm of existence—you in Christ and Christ in you forever.

When God speaks, reality happens! His Word is full of grace and power, fully effectual to bring about anything He desires. One of the main reasons we praise and worship God, one of our motivations and greatest joys, is this fact that God continues to create life and wholeness and purpose out of things that seem dead and broken and void of purpose. We are what we are today because God spoke His Word and made us and remade us and continues to remake us. Everything we need, desire, hope for, and believe for is created and will be created by the power of His Word. Nothing is beyond the power of God, and that power is expressed and manifested through His Word.
Whatever He desires to exist, He speaks it into existence! And we partake of the unsearchable riches of Christ when we speak and proclaim His Word in the earth today. When we think and act and speak in accordance with God’s Word, all the forces of nature, every demon, and even the angels of heaven must obey because God’s Word is the final authority in all matters and in all situations! Every knee must bow to the name of Jesus, who is the Living Word.
In Hebrews 1:3 we read that Jesus Christ is, even today, “upholding all things by the word of his power.” When God speaks, His Word has power embedded within it to do what God sends it to do and it will sustain that work forever.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
ISAIAH 55:10-11
When you speak what God speaks and you speak it according to His will, His Word prevails over any attack and destroys any obstacle the enemy presents you with. When you live according to God’s Word and believe, all things are truly possible. Now, that is unfathomable wealth!
