Spoken Word

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63)

In the Old Testament Hebrew, it is called, “Ruwach”. In the New Testament Greek, it is called, “Pneuma”. Both are defined as wind, breath, or spirit.

The words that Jesus speaks are spirit. The breath and wind of the spoken word are the very spirit of that word spoken.

Ruwach and Pneuma aren’t restricted to only Jesus.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." (Proverbs 18:21)

Our words are flowing from our spirit. They are our spirit.

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” (1 John 5:14-15)

When our spirit is His spirit, then our will becomes His will, then our words are His words. God hears and abides by His own words.
