1 Corinthians 4:20 “For the [kingdom] of God is not in [word], but in [power].” Commentary: This scripture may at first seem contradictory until we break down these bracketed Greek words. So what and where is the kingdom? It is a royal dominion world without end! God ruling within the human heart! It is a everlasting eternal kingdom! It never gets old or diminishes with time! Time only confirms it! God wants to rule the earth through his people! Satan wants to rule in the hearts of men for their destruction! This is the basis for all conflict between good and evil! The word of God is an intelligent word! We have the spoken word and the written word. God spoke the worlds into existence! The recorded spoken words of God are in your Bible! The word power used in this verse means one with great ability! Capable to will his purpose in the earth! One who exercises dominion and authority with strange and marvelous works! Power to heal the sick and raise the dead! His will is expressed by the power released through his word! You could leave your Bible on the night stand for twenty years and collect dust but the power of his word would never be released! Why? Because the written word when spoken releases the power of God! You can read your Bible but until you speak the word power is not released! How shall we hear without a preacher? Political correctness and cancel culture is all about muting speech about God! Happy Holidays not Merry Christmas? They do not want the name of Jesus uttered from your lips! The churches are burned and members assaulted to produce fear so you will not name the name above all names! They threaten court action and prosecute you if you identify with Christ in the market place! You can now lose your job if you work for a corporation that supports the counter culture! It is an attack on your first amendment rights! The first amendment is first because our Founding Father’s understood what would come to try to destroy our nation! The power of good or evil is released by words! Truth or lies! After Hitler wrote his Mein Kampf was quoted as saying until I spoke the words of my book to crowds the words had no power over the people! Words are either truth or lies! Satan told Eve surely God has not said? Children in our public schools are worshippers of Darwin! There is no God! A lie! Only evolution! We are answerable to no one! We make ourselves God and decide who lives and dies! Then rebellion and revolution are in our streets! No law and order! We make our own laws that oppose the Kingdom of God! Life is no longer important! Abortion is great! Destruction is their theology! Death is their creed! If you read and then speak the word of God you bring life to men! The word of God exposes lies and establishes truth which brings redemption to men! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
