The Kingdom Principles of Faith and Words

Episode Summary

Picture yourself looking up at a massive iceberg, amazed by its height and beauty and your relative smallness. You can’t imagine it growing any taller. It’s hard to believe you see only a fraction of what lies beneath the surface. 

That's how many of us approach faith and the power of our words. We see a glimpse, but there's so much more depth that remains untapped. 

In this episode of As In Heaven, Bryan Elliot, Chantal Fowler, and Matt Davis talk about the surprisingly significant impact that faith and spoken words have on shaping our realities. 

They dive deep into understanding the Biblical terms logos and rhema - how God's words not only created the universe but also invite us to co-create with Him today. 

The episode addresses a critical question: How can we access the hidden power of our faith and words to manifest heaven on earth?

Key Takeaways:

1. Logos vs. Rhema: The logos refers to the written word of God, while the rhema is the spoken word, alive and active through faith.
2. Faith Is Action-Oriented: True faith goes beyond intellectual agreement - it compels action, as seen throughout the Bible, from Noah to Jesus' disciples.
3. Words Have Power: The words we speak either empower the Kingdom of Light or the Kingdom of Darkness, making it crucial to speak life.
4. Stewardship of Faith: Even a mustard seed of faith, when stewarded well, can lead to incredible outcomes. Faith grows through trust and action.
5. Faith and Love Are Interconnected: Galatians 5:6 shows that faith is perfected through love, meaning that faith is deeply tied to a relationship with God and others.

Pull Quotes:

1. "Faith says, 'I'll see it when I believe it.' The unseen realm is the superior realm, the realm from which everything is created."
2. "When we speak the word through faith, we are co-creating with God. His Word in our mouth is as powerful as His Word in His mouth."
3. "Faith looks to God, not to man or our own strength. As faith becomes activated, the realm of the impossible opens up."
