Where the Word of a King Is – There Is Power

Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, “Where the word of a King is, there is power.” We have a King, and His name is Jesus. The question is, where is His word in our life? Is it on a bookshelf collecting dust or is it in our heart and flowing out of our mouth? If His word is on a bookshelf collecting dust, then the power of it is not working for us.

For the word of the King to work by the power it has in it, then it must be in our heart and coming out of our mouth. We must believe that the word is true in spite of what we see or feel. We must remember that we have been translated from the kingdom of darkness and placed into the kingdom of God’s precious Son Jesus, the Son of His love where all things work together for our good.

God has exalted His word above His own name, and He watches over it to perform it. Therefore, when He hears His word coming from our mouth, He is bound to perform it. As for us, we must hold fast to what we say until the results are seen.

As born-again believers, we are in Christ; the King and as He is, so are we in the world. Many Christians believe that they are in Christ, but they are not experiencing good results in their lives. The most likely reason is; they are expecting the Lord to do everything for them. They are not praying His word which is a grave error, they are not using the authority that they have in the name of Jesus, and they are not pleading the Blood of Jesus. The Blood is vital in getting prayers answered. It is a vital weapon in God’s arsenal that He has given us to use to resist the devil.

It is OK to speak our words to the Lord but what we say must be in line with what He has said in His word, then the power of the King’s word will show up in our life. Jesus said in Mark 11:23-24 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask, when you pray believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” So we can see from the scripture that we need to say. We have been given the authority in the name of Jesus to decree a thing, and it will be done. It is not God’s will that we cry out to Him and beg Him for anything but unfortunately, this is what many of us are doing. Begging God is a sign of a weak Christian, and this is not His will for us. He wants us to be strong and assured in Him. For us to be strong in Him, we need to be filled with His word.

There is power in the word of the King to produce, but it requires our right believing and our right speaking. God will not alter His word to accommodate our lack of knowledge; He cannot do that no matter how much we plea.

We have an adversary who steals. He will take God’s answer to our prayers and place it in his kingdom of darkness, but we have the King’s word concerning that; Jesus said in Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” We can use this authority to command the devil to restore, and when the Blood of Jesus is applied against him, he will flee. He cannot stand in the presence of the Blood nor can he penetrate it or cross over it. He hates the Blood because there is life in it; the life of God.

There is absolute supreme power in the word of the King which no foe can withstand, and His word will not return to Him void.
