It begins with an opening prayer and a reflection on the power of words, urging listeners to be cautious about what they say. The message centers on the transformative power of Jesus Christ, who, as the Word of God, lives within believers, enabling them to manifest blessings, healing, and divine miracles through faith and proclamation.
Socrates references Genesis, John, and Revelation to illustrate the eternal nature of the Word and its creative and restorative power. Practical advice includes reading the Bible aloud to activate faith and bringing God's promises into reality.

Socrates shares personal testimonies of prayer experiences, including miraculous events during family worship at Clearwater Beach.

The message concludes by reiterating the necessity of faith-filled declarations and engaging with Scripture for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing.
This message encourages believers to embrace their God-given authority, rely on the Holy Spirit, and live as vessels of divine power and love.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
