Spiritual Law (Part 4) (Romans 10:6-10, 13; Mark 11:22-24)

The Bible

Laws

Everything is governed by laws. There are laws of physics; scientific laws; and laws that govern the universe. Unlike the laws of men, for the enforcement of civil obedience, something that is innately a 'law', does not change or vary. It is always, 100% of the time, the same, and has a certain 'cause and effect', so that if a certain action takes place, like an apple falling from a tree, the law of gravity dictates that the apple will hit the ground, unless it is superseded by another 'law'. Planes are stationary on the earth, but when a combination of laws of thrust, in concert with inertia, and lift, are put in place, the plane, weighing several tons, soars through the air, with seemingly minimal effort.

Spiritual Law

Spiritual laws far surpass any 'natural' or scientific law, when a greater spiritual force is exerted upon them. It is the reason that Jesus could walk on water, as though liquid water were in a solid state; why physically deteriorated tissue can be replaced in a blinded eye, to where the blind individual can now see; how a limited amount of bread and fish can be multiplied to feed thousands; and how someone 'dead' to these realities, can be 'born again', and receive the Lord Jesus Christ, and experience a dramatic transformation of character and purpose, becoming a new creation, in Christ Jesus, though the outward appearance may not have changed at all.

Words

One of the greatest spiritual laws is the force and effect of words. In relation to salvation, not just being 'born again', but salvation, or deliverance from disease, sickness, poverty, lack, devastating situations, spiritual death, etc., [Salvation (sozo), 4982, is an all encompassing word], is affected by our spoken word [when we are spiritually aware, and have full confidence in the spiritual reality in which we are operating; that's called Faith].

Romans 10:6-10 says:

"...the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, 'Who shall descend into the deep?'(that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead). But what does it say? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe [have faith] in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes [has faith] unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation".

Born Again

A person is 'born again' or 'born of God', by speaking words with their mouth, that they believe in their heart. With the heart, they believe, or have faith, and they speak with their mouth, what they believe in their heart, and they are saved, delivered, healed, set free, etc., for "...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Rm.10:13).

Paraphrase

Mark 11:22-24 says:

"...Jesus answering, said to them, 'Possess, hold onto, keep, the faith of God, the God kind of faith (11:22).

What I am telling you is a solid, unshakable, unmovable, forever established fact, an unquestionable reality, that anyone, it doesn't matter who they are, that will say to this literal mountain, 'You, be lifted up from the ground, and suspended in the air, and you be violently thrown, with force and intent, into the sea'; and shall not doubt in his/her heart, the very core of their being, but be totally focused, and solely committed to the spiritual reality, of the authority of their words, and shall have the God kind of faith, because, those things which they have thought out and formed into a specific confession, or declaration, of what they know to be true, what they say, will immediately come into existence, and happen, that instant, in the spiritual realm, and what they say with their mouth, will manifest, and come into physical reality, in the natural (11:23).

Therefore, because of this, I am saying to you, right now, Whatever you ask for personally, for yourself, and even demand it, because it is your legal right to claim and assert your right of ownership, when you make this bold, confident, assertion, confession, or declaration of your faith, have the God kind of faith because you immediately will receive, in the spirit realm, what you have declared with your mouth, and those things you have declared with your mouth, will manifest in the natural, physical realm, because you have already created them in the spiritual realm (11:24).
