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.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

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...
