What's Going to Last? Understanding the Eternal Power of Words (Matthew 24:35)

 

What’s Going to Last? (Matthew 24:35)

    My question for today is: what’s going to last forever? A lot of things that we place great emphasis on are only temporary and have no eternal value. They are not everlasting; they are just temporary. As the song says, "Build your hopes on things eternal." The things we can see are temporary, but the things we cannot see are everlasting. Jesus said to them, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." So, even heaven is temporary. I know people talk about the walls of jasper, the streets of gold, and the crystal sea, but Jesus said heaven is temporary. Scripture speaks of an old heaven and a new heaven if there's an old one and a new one, it means heaven must be temporary. Many times, people put all their energy into dying and going to heaven, or they focus on the belief that when Jesus returns, we'll go to heaven.

    But heaven is not everlasting; it will pass away because heaven is a physical place, and anything physical will eventually pass away. Not only did Jesus say heaven would pass away, but the earth would also pass away. The earth is a physical place. Despite the beauty of the earth the flowers, trees, oceans, landscapes, and mountains it is still temporary. It is physical and will eventually pass away. Anything you can see with your eyes, feel with your hands, smell with your nose, taste with your mouth, or hear with your ears is temporary. It will pass away. But Jesus said that what won’t pass away are His words. Words are spiritual.

An open Bible with luminous words rising towards the sky, symbolizing the eternal nature of God's Word as referenced in Matthew 24:35.


    Heaven is physical, earth is physical, but words are spiritual. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit that gives life, and the words I speak to you are spirit and life." When you speak words, you enter into the spiritual realm. Words are spiritual. That’s why He said that when He leaves, the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, will come and bring all things back to your remembrance of the words He has spoken to you. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word will stand. "The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the Word of our God will stand forever." Do you have a word from God that has not yet been fulfilled? Let me tell you, you’re not going anywhere until it is. God’s Word will not return void; it will accomplish what it was sent to do. You can’t go anywhere until every word, every prophecy, every promise of God spoken over your life is fulfilled.

    So, I’m telling you: words are eternal. Words are everlasting. Be careful with the words that come out of your mouth because you can’t take them back once spoken. Words are spiritual, and you enter the spiritual realm by telling them. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." So, pay attention to what you’re saying today. Are the words you’re speaking building people up, or are they tearing them down? Do you want the words you speak to last forever? Be conscious of what you are saying because by our words, we are justified, and by our words, we are condemned. The Word of God framed the world.

    Even when our loved ones transition, they don’t truly pass away because we still have their words—we still have what they said in our hearts and minds. Words will never pass away because they are spiritual. The words I’m speaking right now are spiritual.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
