The Power of His Word | Wednesday
Devotional
In the town of Nain, Jesus confronted humanity’s ultimate enemy: death. Standing before a coffin, He did
something remarkable. He spoke. “Young man, I say to you, arise.” Simple words, yet with authority that death itself could not resist.
This wasn’t a lengthy incantation or elaborate ritual. It was just words—but words spoken by the One who
created all things by His word. The same voice that called light from darkness in Genesis now called life
from death in Nain. And death had no choice but to obey.
We often underestimate the power of Jesus’ words. We read them in Scripture, perhaps even memorize
them, but do we truly grasp their authority? Every promise, every command, every word that proceeds
from His mouth carries the same power that raised that young man from his coffin.
When Jesus speaks into your circumstances—your fears, your doubts, your seemingly impossible
situations—His words aren’t mere encouragement. They’re declarations with the power to transform reality. The question isn’t whether His word has power, but whether we’re positioning ourselves to hear it
and believe it.
Today, consider what Jesus is speaking over your life. His words sustain the universe, calm storms, cast
out demons, and yes, even raise the dead. Nothing—absolutely nothing—can resist the power of His
spoken word.
Bible Verse
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by
his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty
in heaven.” – Hebrews 1:3
Reflection Question
What situation in your life seems beyond hope, and how would it change if you truly believed that Jesus’
words have the power to transform even that circumstance?
Quote
When Jesus speaks, things happen. When Jesus speaks, even death has to listen. When Jesus speaks, Satan has no power. He has no control.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, I stand in awe of the power of Your word. You speak, and even death must obey. Help me to
trust the authority of Your promises over my life. When circumstances seem impossible, remind me that
nothing is impossible for You. May I listen for Your voice above all others and respond with faithful
obedience. Amen.
