The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God’s Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father’s] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal]. When He [Himself and no other] had [by offering Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin] accomplished purification from sins and established our freedom from guilt, He sat down [revealing His completed work] at the right hand of the Majesty on high [revealing His Divine authority],
Hebrews 1:3 ( Amp )
I would like to focus on the word “upholding all things by the word of His power”.
Jesus, the exact representation of God upholds the universe by His powerful word. If His word has the power of upholding this universe, imagine, then why in the world should we be worrying about anything at all? This Great awesome God, came down to this earth just for our sake to be sacrificed for our sins and set us free from sin and condemnation. By His one word this universe was made. Gen 1 and chapter 2:1.
In John 18:1 Jesus says all authority has been given to Him in heaven and on earth and in Mark 16:17 & 18 He passes on this authority to those who believe in His name. So,when we are in Christ it means we have the same authority and power that Jesus has, He has equipped us by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
This means that the WORD of God is actually Jesus. That is why the enemy does not tremble when you go to church, sing a few songs or do a few exercises. He trembles when you dig deep into the word. Satan knows the word has power. (1 Cor 1:18) The enemy knows that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32)
His word can set you free from sin, completely change you, transform you and your life. The word of God is like fire and a hammer that breaks rocks in pieces. It can destroy every obstacle in your path. It is this spoken word that brought dead Lazarus out alive and kicking, it cannot return void ( Isaiah 55:10-11), this word healed, delivered, cast demons out. This is why the Centurion said just speak one word and my servant shall be healed. ( Matt 8: 8)
But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Matt 22:29
So, imagine if this word can uphold this universe then what you could do with the word in the name of Jesus Christ. You will literally experience the power of God!! Hallelujah!!
Prayer
Loving heavenly Father, thank you for your only Son Jesus Christ who died for our sins, rose again and is seated in the heavenly realms. Thank you for the word of God that is like fire and a hammer that destroys the powers of darkness and every assignment of the enemy upon our lives. I pray that everyone who reads this will grow in the word of God, walk in your power and their lives be transformed from glory to glory in Jesus matchless name I pray. Amen!!
