The Scriptures contain inexorable power to unleash the kingdom of God all over the earth. The Scriptures must be fulfilled, and nothing can stop their power.
The word Scripture is graphe in Greek which specifically means writings. Scripture is the writings of God. Throughout the New Testament, the word Scripture is used many times to refer to God’s written words.
Jesus often quotes Scripture, showing that it is the basis for his life. Scripture should be the basis for our lives as well.
All Scripture is breathed out by God (2 Timothy 3:16). No other books in the world besides the Bible are written by God. Many books are written by men, and a few books are written by demons. But no other book besides the Bible is written by God. Therefore the Bible contains spiritual power that no other book has.
All Scripture is written by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20). It is perfect and makes no mistakes.
Jesus surrounded his life with the power of the Scriptures. He often talked about the Scriptures. He quoted the Scriptures. He referred to them as completely authoritative.
When the devil attacked Jesus, he quoted the Scripture to defeat him (Matthew 4). The Scripture contains divine power to hurl down Satan.
Jesus told Satan, “It is written.” After hearing Scripture, Satan ran away. These written words from God contain power to chase away fallen angels.
Jesus said the Scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35). It’s impossible to break the power of God’s word. God preserves these writings in the earth, and we have them perfectly handed down to us today.
Jesus settled arguments by quoting the Scriptures (Matthew 22:29). The Scripture is an insurmountable bulwark against Satan that destroys the vain arguments of men.
Jesus said that Scripture would outlast heaven and earth (Matthew 5:18). The smallest letter will not pass away from the Scripture until everything written down happens.
The Scriptures must be fulfilled. Whatever God wrote down in the Bible has to happen. It’s impossible for it not to. There is unstoppable spiritual power operating through the Scripture to bring whatever it says to pass.
The potential power of God’s word is released when people step into it and fulfill the conditions for its operation.
When Jesus began his ministry, he stepped into a spiritual environment that had been prepared for him by the word of God. Centuries before, Isaiah wrote down Scriptures which contained potential power that was waiting to be fulfilled and released on the earth when the Christ came.
Around 30 AD Jesus stood up in his hometown synagogue and read a passage from Isaiah that described the ministry of Christ. He would heal, preach good news, and set free captives. Jesus said TODAY this Scripture is fulfilled (Luke 4:16-21).
This Scripture from Isaiah contained potential power that was accessed when Jesus, as the Christ and the spotless lamb of God, stepped into it. When Jesus stepped into these ancient prophetic words of the Scriptures, they were fulfilled. The awesome power of God began to reverberate through Jesus into the earth, and he went around proclaiming the arrival of the kingdom of God.
The power of Scripture continues to operate today when people step into the spiritual place that is created by the Scriptures.
There are many Scriptures that need to be fulfilled at the end of the age. Many of them pertain to God’s people. When God’s people step into the position prepared for them by God, the Scriptures will be fulfilled, and God’s power will operate. By obeying his word, God’s people will be carried along supernaturally to their destination, and through them the glory of the bride of Christ will be revealed to the world.
In our lives, when we submit to God, we are under his authority. This happens as we obey the Scriptures. These Scriptures must be fulfilled, and they contain power to manifest their fulfillment. This infinite spiritual power must operate. This power of the Scriptures will be released through God’s obedient saints.
