Dutch Sheets: Life-Giving Power Flows Through God's Word (John 6:63)
Dutch speaks at Kairos Transformation Ministries on 7/22/2023 in Atlanta, GA. John 6:63 says, “The words I have been teaching you are spirit and life…” Quotes: “He calls His Word a seed, or seeds. 1 Peter 1:23, “You have been reborn—not from seed that eventually dies but from seed that is eternal—through the word of God that lives and endures forever.” Jesus is saying, in effect, that there is power – multiplying, life-giving power, in His Words. If you plant them and take care of them, they will literally reproduce something – they will grow something in you.

God was teaching me the power of decreeing His Word, 
His Words, saying what He says.
We know God's words are powerful.
We know He created the universe with them in the
first chapter of the Bible - Genesis one, "let there be."
Jesus was the one speaking those words,
based on the book of John 1, Colossians 1
"He is the Word, all things were made by Him.
Without Him, was not anything made tha was made."
Hebrews [1:3] actually says "He holds it all
together with His Words, everything He created."
His Words were so powerful that He spoke
and it released power from Holy Spirit.
Everything we see came from those words.
Hebrews 4:12 says "they're powerful, says they're alive."
They have life in them.
When He spoke those words in Genesis, seeds came.
So, it wasn't just like a onetime creation.
His words went forth and something was deposited in the earth,
that had the power of those words still in them.
They could multiply, because the life was still there and the power.
That's how powerful His Words are.
He said in John 6:63, "My Words are spirit and life."
We know that He spoke to things...
When He was here, functioning as a human,
He still operated somewhat like that.
He didn't have to create anything from nothing
but He did talk to mountains, didn't He?
I mean, He spoke to storms.
Did you think, if you'd never seen this before
how weird it would be.
I mean, when they came to Him in the boat [Luke 8:22]
and the storm was raging, and if you look,
if you read Luke's account, this is not just
like these guys were being tossed around
a little bit and fearful, the disciples...
the boat was filling up with water.
These guys were fishermen, they made a living on that lake.
If they said we're in real trouble, they were in real trouble.
They knew that lake. They probably spent more waking hours
on that lake than they did on land.
Luke says it was filling with water; then the latter part of the verse
says they were in real danger. Well Jesus got up
and He didn't ask the Father to do something.
He didn't go into prayer. He did something that's very foreign
to us, understandably. He talked to an inanimate object.
That obviously couldn't hear Him in the sense of,
you know storms don't have ears to hear. So what's the deal?
He understood how to release power and authority.
That's released out of the mouth.
He didn't get him to come down on earth and make things.
He spoke things and that's how He released his power.
And He did that throughout His whole ministry on earth.
"Be healed." [Luke 5:13] "Lazarus come forth!" [John 11:43]
He understood something that most of us
don't understand, and that is that authority and power
is released through our words, out of our mouth.
It's also released by touch. But one of the primary ways, in fact
the most predominant way in scripture
that power and authority are released is here [our mouth].
So, Jesus did that, He spoke to storms.
By the way, when He said to them, "Why are you afraid?" [Luke 8:25]
Unless you understand the Word He used
when He got up to rebuke the storm...
When you understand the Word He used
when He said "why are you afraid?"
It doesn't make any sense, because I know why they were afraid.
The boat was filling up with water.
And they were going down if something didn't happen.
But He didn't say, why are you "phobos,"
the Greek word for fear as in phobia.
We get the English word phobia from this Greek word.
He didn't say that word. He used a different word, "delia."
Delia is a word for timidity or timid or insecure.
It's also the word Paul used talking to Timothy
in 2 Timothy 1:7 "God hasn't given us a spirit of "delia,"
fear, timidity, insecurity, timid.
