What Backs Up God's Word?
Imagine a lead singer without a backup,
What ensures God's promises and Words come to pass?
Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?” (Ecclesiastes 8:4 NIV)

Hey everybody, welcome once again to deep this audio Yes, and this is episode 12 of deep things of his word. So you're really thinking so don't want to level. Good job. Now this is 12, so let's dive into it. So to look at a very important topic. But before we look at that topic, we have a very special guest. Wait, before I introduce you, there are little things of victims I want to see about him. OK. He is currently the ex officio of CNDENTHA doctor. Excuse me? Depends the perspective looking at this from.
OK. He's a worded man of God, and it's very humble too, because he might not accept it in public. I came without further ado. I'd like to welcome. OK, my name is Mohammed Nasir Gandhi. Don't believe everything I said. I was sweet. I actually don't know anything. I, you know, it's really all right, that's good. So I'm in Nasir gallery. We're very happy to have you. So today we're looking at the very interesting topic. What backs up God's word. So do you think God's word backed up by something? You think there's a certain degree of backing up that goes on need?
Do you think that when you speak the word, there's something that needs to be activated for it to come alive? Well, there's one we find out. We'll let our guest explain everything to us. So, Muhammad Nasir Galli, tell us what you have to say about this, everything you have to say about this. Thank you. All right, so thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be here to discuss and to also learn from the feet of the master. Also, at some point I was like, I'm nobody to be here. You know, I I saw some wonderful teachings from many of us and I was like God.
I like to be like them. So today we are going to look at the topic before us that what box of ghosts would you know, and how can we encounter the backed up word? So ball, before we begin this talk, you know that there are some things that I want to, you know, bring to our attention. They believe God is leading us into this way. You know, one of the things that comes to your mind when you hear the backed up word or when you hear that something is being backed up, you know, is likely the guarantee that is placed on something.
You know, the power that has been placed on something. You know, popularly for most of us that have bought gadgets, normally the gadget comes with a backing, a warranty that if this thing does not work, return it to us and then we are going to work on it. But deep into this, we are going to see some things. I want us to understand the concept of God, who he is, because we want to understand the fact of word. We need to understand the word. We want to understand where is it coming from, You know, how does the person speaking, you know, affect the word?
And so that's one of the things that I want us to look at. So first of all, God is a king. And when we say that God is a king, the Bible highlighted him as, you know, as the King of kings and also as the Lord of Lords. You know, he says the heavens he has given to himself, and the eight, he has given it to the sons of men. So God is a king. He's the highest authority over heaven at an old world. He rules over his Kingdom. The heaven and the earth and old world are the things that he has placed under his feet.
His old binds over his Kingdom, the people, the spirit and every single thing that lives in that Kingdom because he is God, the words of God are lost because the words of a king are also lost. They are decreased, they are irrefutable and they must achieve the purpose why they are sent. So an understanding that God is God, there is nobody that puts him into power and he owns the authority and every single power in heaven and on earth should make us also understand, you know what makes his words to be backed up and we are going to look at that briefly.
The second point is that we to also understand God as a Lord, and we say that God is a Lord. It means that he owns the whole world. You know, He's a spirit. And it's very, very important that we understand that. The Bible said in the book of Psalms, the earth is the Lord and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. For he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. And so we said that God is Lord. It means that he is an honor. A Lord means an honor, OK, He owns every single thing and how did he acquire the earth is 1 because he created it and two, his power over his establishment.
And so God is an honor. He own everything in heaven and adds the people and all the spirits that live within this realm. The next thing I want us to understand is the Trinity of the word that if you check the book of Genesis chapter 1 from verse one to three, you see that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth is void, was void and empty and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the tip. And God said the first mention of the Trinity was at the beginning of the Bible.
The Bible began with the Trinity, so it says in the beginning God, which is God the Father. And then the Spirit was moving over the surface of the deep which shows us the Holy Spirit. And then the next thing we could see is that God began to speak and the word began to come into into the picture. And so when we understand that they say God and then they say Spirit and they say word, it's, you know, help us to understand the power that comes with the word of God, that this word, it's origin is from God.
And you know before the word even comes that this is Spirit, you know, an atmosphere, his presence, his Spirit, the Holy Spirit, God, the Holy Spirit. And later we are going to understand what the Holy Spirit means, like why the Holy Spirit is very, very relevant for us to understand the backed up word and everything. And so we need to understand that, you know, Jesus is the Word, the Word is the Spirit, and the Word is God. And in the book of Genesis we saw this Trinity playing together. And so for the world to find an effect in a pressing, these three entities must be in agreement the word, the Spirit and God.
The next thing we are going to look at sorry for this, you know, little, little doctrines. The next thing we'll look at is the Trinity of man. You know when God created man, he created him in his own image and after his likeness. And so God created man as his spirit. All right, that has his soul, and that soul lives in a body. Now understanding that man is a spirit because when God first created man, he has not yet created the physical body yet the Bible says, and let us make man in our own image and after our likeness.
And the first thing we know about God is that he's worth his spirit. And so man was also created to be a spirit. And then next we saw in chapter 2 of Genesis, and God formed man out of the dust, showing us where the body came into place. And so for the Word of God to produce results in our lives, these three entities of man must also be in agreement. So if the spirits and the flesh are totally opposite direction, the world will not produce any results. So the world contains all the elements of God, the power and authority and its sovereignty.
Because, you know, starting with the fact that God is a king, to show us the illustration, like what it means for the words of a king to be powerful. Many of us grew up in democracy and we have not understood the concept of what it means, the concept of the Kingdom and what it means and what the word of a king really, really means. In democracy, a president can say something and the judiciary and the legislature can come up and say something else, you know, counteract the word. But in a Kingdom, whatsoever the king says, the word of a king had decreased.
You know, when the ministers came to Darius, they said the decrease of their irrefutable, they cannot be changed. Do you understand? So understanding the Word of God and understanding God in this perspective would change our narrative of how we see the Word of God and be able to maximize its power. Now the Word of God is spirit because what we have to understanding that God himself is a spirit, the Word is a spirit and his spirit, God the Holy Spirit is also a spirit and that Jesus is the world and that all things we created through the world, which is Jesus all right.
So the world as the spirit, we are going to look at our engagement with the world, all right. So our engagement with the world is basically through the spirit, all right. So this is how God communicates with us. God is a spirit and he created us as a spirit beings because for us to be able to understand a spirit and what a spirit is saying that person, that entity we have to become. We have to, you know, be spirit and God design us to be so. And so God relates to us. He speak his words, which is spirit and the whole the Holy Spirit carries the word of God and communicate it with our spirit.
So it is our spirit that is in contact with this word. Amen. And then the second one is that we also have contact with the written word. You know, the written word also is the written word is spirit is it is encap the spirit of the word is encapsulated by the written words. And so most of the time, I think there was a podcast here that described the encrypted word and I was so blessed from it. When we engage with the with the written word, we must press harder to ensure that we have encountered the spirit of the word because it is only spirit that, you know, make contact with the Spirit.
And the first entity in US that should encounter the word is the Holy Spirit. And then the Holy Spirit will begin to find execution with the agreement of our mind and also our body. All right, so the Bible said, who also has made us sufficient as ministers of the New Covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit giveth life. So our engagement with the world is through the Spirit, and it is through our Spirit with the Spirit of the world. Then the next one is that the Holy Spirit is an indispensable component of this process.
So when we understand Him as the messenger, as the decoder, as the interpreter and the executor of the world, it makes more meaning and also makes more effect. And also he comes with power, which is able to cause a change, transform and cause things to happen in our lives. You know, he's a searcher of the hidden things of God. I wanted to say deep things of God. OK, so we have also understand that the word of God is encrypted, you know, and that's why Ephesians chapter one verse 17 is a cry that God will give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation, the Spirit.
Do you understand? Take note of that very, very well. So our engagement with the word is true, the Spirit, and it is only the spirit that can break open the content of the word for us. So there are some key things that I will just mention and go in the passing before we now look at what backs of God's world first. We first created our spirit and then put inside a body. So it is our spirit that communicates with God. The flesh has no business here. The Bible said it profits nothing. Three, God made us ministers of the spirit.
That means we engage with the world through the spirit. And then four, we communicate with God through our spirits with his spirits, and then the spirits with God. Then five, only spirit can understand spiritual things. Six, only the Holy Spirit can decode spiritual information sent from God to our spirit. And seven, spiritual understanding leads to transformation of the mind and the heart. And then 8 the heart governs our action, and if it is transformed by the Spirit, it begins to produce life.
And that's when we come to understand that the world in which the Spirit became flesh and begins to dwell among us. Do you understand? So that's where we understand, you know, the efficacy and how the world can begin to produce results in our lives. So what parks of God's world, which is the original topic that was given to us and we have used most of our time talking about, you know, the first part of it. You know this this is a podcast. I wish it was a teaching will have you know, gone deeper, have a proper understanding of who God is and you know the power of his word.
Then we can now be able to understand what backs up Gods word. And there are three things that I wrote here to are from God, are on the side of God. And then the third one is on our side. And I pray that God will give us understanding our revelation into his word as we look at it. So the first thing that I will talk about about the backing, you know, of God's word is that God backs his word with power. You know, power is the ability, you know, to do things, the ability of the word of God to do things.
And second, God also backs his Word with his integrity, his reputation, and His name. And so you see that these two are coming from God's end. But there is a third one, which is one of the things that I really want us to pay much attention because the problem is not from God. The problem is a man problem. The problem is from us. Most of the time the word of God carries on it all these characteristics, the power, you know, the integrity of God, the reputation of God and his name. You know the the Bible said that I honor my word more than my name will see that verse.
But why is it that this word does not produce effect? It's also a question which I would like to answer later in this podcast. But you know, the problem has always been a man problem and not a God problem. So whenever you see a challenge, whenever I see a problem, most of the time, all the time the problem is a man problem. It is not a God problem because if really spiritual things are engaged with this ritual protocol of engagement, result is supposed to be the outcome. And so let's look at some of these scriptures that betrays, you know, the power, integrity and reputation and the name of God.
The first one is Ecclesiastes chapter 8, verse 4. It says where the word of a king is this power and who may say to him, what are you doing? You see, that's one of the reasons I I spent a little time, you know, highlighting God as a God and as a Lord, you know, and also as a king from this Ecclesiastes chapter 8 verse 4. It shows that the word of God is powerful because where the word of a king is his power. The next one is Joshua chapter 21 verse 45. He says not a word fail it of any good things which the Lord has spoken to the House of Israel.
All came to pass. That shows that the word never fails. You see that the problem is always the man problem and not the God problem. And so if there's anything I want us to take from this podcast is, you know, going back to God with sincerity and repentance and, you know, look up to him for the transformation of our heart so that the Word of God will begin to find results in our lives. The next Scripture is Isaiah 55, verse 11. It's a social my word be that God's fought from my mouth. He shall not return to me.
For you see, when God is speaking like this, when you have an understanding of him as a king, that when he speaks, his word is irrevocable. It must produce results shows that the word of God never fails. Then the next scripture I want us to read is some wanted it verse 2. I will worship towards your holy temple and praise your name for your loving kindness and your truths. For you have magnified your word above, above all, your name. Why did he say all in me? Whatsoever name you know about God, His word is magnified more than that's name.
So if you know God as protector, as healer, as sovereign, omnipotent, omniscience, the God himself, you know, for example, I say I regard my word more than my name. I regard more than my reputation. So God has placed his reputation on his word. So the sovereignty of the word of God, he regards it more than his name and another scripture to buttress this point is Hebrews chapter one verse three, who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his pressing and upholding all things by the words of his power when he had by himself.
Pojo has since sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. So every single thing, the sovereignty of the world means that every single thing is upheld by the world. So the power of God's word, there are many things, because I believe most of us the most, the major thing we understand about the power of God's Word is its ability to, you know, to make things happen. You know some of us who quote Genesis chapter 1, how God created the earth by the power of his words. Yes, that's one of the functions of the Word of God.
You know, the backing that power, one of the power of God's word is the power to transform. When man fell, all right, we acquired a different nature apart from the nature of God. So we acquired a fallen nature. And so when God, you know, sent his Son, Jesus Christ, he restored our spirit and restored that relationship with him. But our our hearts, you know which is desperately wicked needs a lot of transformation in order to be able to confirm to the image of his Son of Jesus. And so the journey into Christianity is to journey into becoming like Jesus having the mind of Jesus.
The second thing is the power to change lives when which is just a single encounter with the word of God. It can transform an armed robber into a St. You can look at second Timothy chapter 3 verse 17. The word of God is God's breath and it is profitable for doctrine, for the proof for correction and instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, totally equipped for every good work. So the power to change lives and equip us for Kingdom service. The third one is the power to direct the Bible say your word is a lamb to my feet and a light to my part.
So the word of God has the ability to direct and in Proverbs chapter 3 verse 5, say trust in the Lord with all your heart, with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding all your ways. Acknowledge him and he will make your part straight. How through the world. Of God and the next thing is, which is the 4th is the power to reveal God. So when we look at the word, it gives us the revelation about God. The fifth one, the power of God's word is to make us fruitful. We can see that in Psalm one verse 3 to 5.
It said that passage shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water that bears his fruit in season. God has created all things the Bible said and all things we created for thy pleasure, for his pleasure. And so when we understand our lives into this direction, we'll focus more on God. The way in Bible said, seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these other things. When we have an understanding of the Kingdom and the king and the responsibility of the king, we'll find out that there are so many prayer points that are not relevant.
Do you understand? So the journey is towards understanding the Kingdom, understanding the king and being right with the God is not created for us. He was not created Points number six, the power to revive. You can look at some 80 verse 18 and the the last one is the power to cost things to help. This is the last all right, you know, healing deliverance. The Bible say he sent his word and it's he let them, you know and deliver them from their destruction. So here we can see that the Word of God, you know, causes healing, you know, it causes deliverance and so on and so forth, and many other benefits to us that you can attach to it, and it is scattered throughout the Scripture.
Wow, thank you so much Sir. That was this is really deep. Do you know every single thing he said cuts across all the episodes of deep things of his word. See if you have not listened to episode 1 to 11 all these things will be hearing be like it will sound new to you. You see this thing he did he but dressed heavily on the importance of God's Word and he even showed us broke it down a. Stain with scripture. Line upon line, precepts upon percepts. Because of our time, we are going to be having a Part 2 series for this, so you don't want to miss it.
OK, so till then, see you later. Bye.
