0:02 Most people think words are just sounds,
0:05 just communication, just noise.
0:09 But Jesus never spoke like that. When he
0:12 spoke, sickness left, storms stopped,
0:15 bread multiplied, reality rearranged
0:18 itself. And here's the uncomfortable
0:21 truth. Most people never learn. Jesus
0:23 didn't change the world by effort. He
0:27 changed it by logos. Once you understand
0:31 this, you'll never speak the same again.
0:33 Let's get started. Before we go any
0:36 further, there are two foundational
0:38 principles you must understand. If you
0:41 miss these, everything that follows will
0:44 sound interesting, but it won't work.
0:46 These are not opinions. They are
0:48 patterns scripture reveals from the very
0:52 beginning. Principle one, the visible
0:55 world was created through words. According
0:56 According
0:59 to the Bible, the world you see, the
1:01 physical three-dimensional reality we
1:04 live in, was not created by effort,
1:07 force, or struggle. It was created
1:09 through words.
1:11 Genesis does not say, "God wrestled
1:14 chaos into order." It says, "God said,
1:18 and it was so." Light appeared because
1:21 it was spoken. Order emerged because it
1:23 was declared.
1:26 This establishes a foundational truth.
1:29 Words are not commentary on reality.
1:31 They are instruments that shape it. From
1:33 the very beginning, scripture shows us
1:37 that speech is not passive. It is creative.
1:38 creative.
1:41 Principle two, words carry the nature of
1:44 the one who speaks them. In scripture,
1:47 words are never neutral. They carry
1:50 intention, authority, and the inner
1:52 state of the speaker. This is why the
1:55 same words spoken from fear produce
1:57 nothing while words spoken from
2:00 alignment produce change.
2:02 A word is only as powerful as the source
2:05 it comes from. This is why the Bible
2:08 says death and life are in the power of
2:12 the tongue. Notice something important.
2:14 Scripture does not say the tongue has
2:17 some power. It says it has the power.
2:20 The power to release life or death. Why
2:22 would the Bible place that level of
2:25 weight on the tongue? Because words
2:28 don't just express what you think. They
2:31 release what you are aligned with. The
2:34 tongue reveals the inner world and the
2:37 inner world determines the outcome. So
2:39 listen to this again carefully. The
2:41 Gospel of John opens with a sentence
2:44 that changes everything.
2:46 In the beginning was the word and the
2:50 word was with God and the word was God.
2:52 John 1:1.
2:55 That word word is not speech. It is
2:58 logos. John is writing in Greek. So he
3:01 uses the word logos. But the idea did
3:04 not originate in Greek philosophy alone.
3:06 Jesus was Jewish. His listeners were
3:09 Jewish. Their thinking was shaped by
3:11 Hebrew language and scripture. In
3:14 ancient Hebrew thought, the closest root
3:18 concept to logos is daba. Daba does not
3:21 mean a word as a sound. It means word
3:24 and action combined. In Hebrew
3:27 understanding, a word is never passive.
3:30 A word is something that does. That's
3:32 why in Genesis, God doesn't describe
3:35 creation. He speaks and creation
3:39 responds. God said, "And it was so." In
3:42 Hebrew thinking, a word carries
3:45 intention, authority, power and outcome.
3:48 A word is not information. It is force
3:51 released with purpose. So when John says
3:54 in the beginning was the logos, he is
3:57 saying before creation there was divine
3:59 intention. Before matter there was
4:02 divine order. Before form there was
4:04 meaning with power to act. And that
4:08 logos was not created. It was God. This
4:11 means Jesus did not merely speak words.
4:13 He expressed the active order of God
4:17 itself. When he spoke, reality didn't
4:20 respond to sound. It responded to
4:22 authority aligned with creation's
4:25 design. That is logos. And once you
4:28 understand this, you begin to see why
4:31 Jesus spoke the way he did and why his
4:33 words changed everything. If you pay
4:35 attention to scripture carefully, you'll
4:38 start to notice a pattern. Jesus never
4:41 begged, never panicked, never spoke from
4:44 lack. He didn't say, "God, please heal
4:48 them if you can." He said, "Be healed."
4:50 Why? Because Jesus never spoke toward
4:54 God. He spoke from God. His words didn't
4:57 come from need. They came from union.
5:00 Jesus' inner state was already settled
5:02 before he ever opened his mouth. There
5:05 was no uncertainty in him about the
5:08 father's will, power, or presence.
5:10 That's why scripture records him saying,
5:12 "The words that I speak to you are
5:16 spirit, and they are life. Spirit first,
5:18 then life."
5:20 Jesus wasn't using words to persuade
5:23 heaven. He was releasing what heaven had
5:25 already authorized. He didn't speak to
5:27 create alignment. He spoke because
5:30 alignment already existed. That's what
5:33 made the difference. When Jesus spoke,
5:35 reality didn't hear desperation. It
5:38 heard authority. So, here's the question
5:41 we have to ask ourselves. Could this be
5:44 why when most of us pray, we feel like
5:46 we're pushing words into the air? Could
5:48 this be why we keep explaining our
5:51 problems to God and having no tangible
5:54 outcomes? The difference isn't volume.
5:57 It isn't passion. It isn't sincerity.
5:59 It's position. Most of us speak toward
6:02 God hoping something will happen. Jesus
6:05 spoke from God knowing it already had.
6:08 And until that shift happens from need
6:11 to union, from effort to alignment, our
6:13 words will sound religious, but they
6:16 won't sound authoritative. That's the
6:20 gap. And this is how to close that gap.
6:23 Step one, settle the inner state first.
6:25 Jesus never spoke first. He rested
6:28 first. He withdrew. He prayed. He
6:31 aligned. But Jesus often withdrew to
6:35 lonely places and prayed. Luke 5:16.
6:37 This detail matters more than most
6:40 people realize. Jesus didn't withdraw
6:43 because he was weak. He withdrew because
6:46 authority requires alignment. Before
6:49 miracles, before commands, before
6:52 confrontation, Jesus returned inwardly
6:55 to the Father. not to ask if God would
6:57 act, but to remain grounded in who he
7:00 was and what the Father was doing.
7:04 Before you speak, be still. Stillness is
7:06 not silence for silence's sake. It is
7:09 the act of settling the inner world. If
7:12 your heart is anxious, your words will
7:14 be fragmented. If your mind is
7:16 scattered, your words will be diluted.
7:19 If your spirit is unsettled, your words
7:21 will lack weight.
7:24 But when the inner world is calm, when
7:26 fear has quieted and trust has taken its
7:28 place, your words carry authority
7:32 without effort. Stillness aligns you.
7:35 And alignment is what gives words power.
7:39 Stillness comes before speech. Step two,
7:43 speak from identity, not need.
7:45 Jesus never spoke as someone trying to
7:47 get something. He spoke as someone who
7:50 already had authority.
7:52 Father, I thank you that you have heard
7:55 me. John 11:41.
7:58 He said this before Lazarus came out.
8:01 That detail is not poetic. It's instructional.
8:03 instructional.
8:05 Jesus thanked the Father before the
8:07 outcome appeared. Not because he was
8:10 pretending, but because he already knew
8:13 the Father's will. This is crucial.
8:16 Jesus didn't speak to change God's mind.
8:19 He spoke to release what was already
8:22 decided. Need-based speech sounds like
8:25 striving. Identity based speech sounds
8:29 like certainty. A beggar asks hoping to
8:32 be noticed. A son speaks knowing he is
8:34 already heard. This doesn't mean
8:38 arrogance. It means relationship. When
8:40 you speak from need, your words ask for
8:42 permission. When you speak from
8:44 identity, your words carry authorization.
8:46 authorization.
8:49 Speak as a son, not a beggar. Because
8:51 authority does not come from how badly
8:54 you want something. It comes from
8:57 knowing who you are and where you stand.
9:00 And when identity is settled, speech
9:04 becomes effortless and effective.
9:08 Step three, call don't describe.
9:10 Most people describe problems Jesus
9:14 called outcomes. description keeps you
9:17 anchored to what is. Calling aligns you
9:20 with what is meant to be. Jesus didn't
9:23 narrate the storm. He didn't analyze the
9:25 wind. He didn't explain the danger. He
9:29 said, "Peace be still." That matters.
9:31 Description gives power to
9:33 circumstances. Calling gives authority
9:36 to truth. Scripture says, "Call those
9:39 things which do not exist as though they
9:43 did." Romans 4:17.
9:45 Calling is not pretending. It is not
9:47 denial. It is agreement with heaven's
9:50 perspective. You are not ignoring
9:52 reality. You are speaking from a higher
9:56 one. Fear reports what it sees. Faith
9:58 declares what God has already
10:01 determined. When you call, you are not
10:04 forcing an outcome. You are aligning
10:06 your speech with God's intention. You
10:10 speak what God sees, not what fear reports.
10:11 reports.
10:15 Step four, let words match walk. Jesus
10:18 words carried power because his life
10:21 matched them. There was no contradiction
10:23 between what he said and how he lived.
10:26 No divided allegiance, no hidden resistance.
10:28 resistance.
10:31 Scripture warns, "A double-minded man is
10:34 unstable in all his ways."
10:36 James 1:8.
10:39 Double-mindedness weakens words. When
10:41 your mouth declares one thing, but your
10:44 habits, decisions, and actions declare
10:47 another, your speech loses weight.
10:50 Reality responds to integrity, not
10:52 vocabulary. This doesn't mean
10:55 perfection. It means consistency. Your
10:58 walk doesn't need to be flawless. It
11:00 needs to be aligned. When your actions
11:03 agree with your words, your words stop
11:06 sounding hollow. They carry credibility.
11:09 And when credibility is present, reality
11:12 listens. Logos is alignment made
11:15 audible. If this resonated, type I
11:18 speak. It moves in the comments. Because
11:22 once words come from the right place,
