God's WORD spoken in faith by a man, so God spoke again to a man named Abram. He oŸ ered this man a deal that would open the way for Him to operate on the earth again. How did God establish this deal? He gave the man His WORD. He made a covenant with him and said: I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed…. I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies (Genesis 12:3, 22:17). Abraham believed what God said, and God's WORD prevailed in Abraham's life. His enemies were never able to put him in bondage. His descendants, however, had a diŸ erent experience. They did eventually go into bondage. They became slaves in the nation of Egypt and wound up suŸ ering there for 400 years. God eventually raised up Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. But here's the shocking reality: They could have been free the whole time! As descendants of Abraham, the Israelites were just as free the fi rst day Pharaoh enslaved them as they were the day Moses led them out of Egypt. God's WORD would have worked for them the fi rst day as well as it did the last. But they didn't know what God had said. And without His WORD, they didn't have any way of tapping into His power. Consequently, it was not active in their lives. They would cry out to God and complain to Him about their circumstances, then they would make more bricks for the Egyptians. They'd get beaten up again by their captors, complain some more and say, "Oh, when is God going to do something for us?" God had already done something for them— more than 400 years earlier! In His covenant with Abraham, He'd given His WORD that they would possess the gates of their enemies. The problem was, the Israelites had forgotten that. But God, however, had not. Therefore, "it came to pass in process of time, that…the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham" (Exodus 2:23-24). So, He spoke again to a man named Moses. Moses' entire ministry was on behalf of God's WORD in the earth! God essentially told him, "Here's what I said to Abraham. Write it down. Here's what I said I'd do for him and his descendants and what they're to do in response. Write it down." God continued that pattern all the way through the Bible. He would call a prophet and tell him, "Here is part of what I'm saying in the earth. Write it down." God's WORD Is Still Alive Today Every word you see in the Bible is still as fi lled with the faith of God as it ever was. His words are as alive today as they were the day the Spirit of God released them into the heart of a man and they were penned on paper.
