1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
God’s will • Word • Spirit
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Explain man’s creation
The Supremacy of the Son of God
The Supremacy of the Son of God
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
Who is Jesus? - He is the Word of God
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
The Deity of Christ
The Preincarnate work of Christ
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
“Suddenly the invisible eternal Word takes on visible form.
1:1 The Logos is the source; everything commences in him. The initial reports concerning him that have reached our ears, and which we indeed bore witness to with our own eyes – to the point that we became irresistibly attracted – now captivates our gaze. In him we witnessed tangible life in its most articulate form.
(The Logos – the 1Word. To touch, 2psallo, to touch the string of a musical instrument, thus resonance.)
1:2 The same life that was face to face with the Father from the beginning, has now dawned on us. The infinite life of the Father became visible before our eyes in a human person.
(Again, as in his gospel John 1:1, he uses the Active Indicative Imperfect form of the verb 3eimi, namely aen [ἦν] to continue to be, [in the beginning ‘was’ the Word etc…], which conveys no idea of origin for God or for the Logos, but simply continuous existence, “I am.”
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
1:14 Suddenly the invisible eternal Word takes on visible form! The Incarnation! In him, and now confirmed in us! The most accurate tangible display of God's eternal thought finds expression in human life! The Word became a human being; we are his address; he resides in us! He captivates our gaze! The glory we see there is not a religious replica; he is the authentic begotten son. The glory is again fully unveiled! Only grace can communicate truth in such complete context!
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
When Jesus calls Bible the Word of God - Message direct from God - the source is God - message from God . the Word - All God’s Words
Scriptures- means literrally: that which is written - written for us.
Born again believers - You are born according to the Will of God and by the Word of God
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
We were with God even before we were conceived in our mother’s womb
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,
18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
The new birth doesn’t start with you , it starts with God
Believer’s Spiritual Development
1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews written to Jewish believers who had the advantage at that time over all other people because they had known the Scriptures of the Old Testament for many many generations.
4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
God's Word is a lamp, a light that illuminates the darkness.
God’s Covenant is His Word
15 Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, 16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, 17 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Healing Covenant
26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
God heals unbelievers by mercy. Believers healed by training in the Word of God and Faith so that we can be used by God.
7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
God’s Medicine Bottle and personal testimony
20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.

Faith comes
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Confession
In Romans 10:10, we see in capsule form God's law of faith: "With the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
In seeking anything from God, we must first believe in our heart, because the Word said it. Then we must confess with our mouth that it is so.
There is no faith without confession. Confession is faith's way of expressing itself.
Confession is stating something we believe in our hearts. It is giving evidence to something we know to be true. It is testifying to a truth we have accepted- Kenneth Hagin Sr.
You must to continue be in the Word, meditate, confess, declare and maintain an attitude of gratitude to achieve healing and ultimately health
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
