God’s word does not return void, we should speak God’s word to a lost and dying world.
Num. 23:19-20
19God is not a man, that He should lie,
nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He spoken, and will He not do it?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 *See, I have received a commandment to bless,
and He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. [1]
Isa. 55:11 11 *so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
it shall not return to Me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. [2]
Jer. 1:12 12 Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well. For I will hasten My word to perform it.” [3]
Speak God’s Word
Lam. 3:37 37 *Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass,
unless the Lord has commanded it? [4]
John 12:48-50 48 *He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him. The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 *For I have not spoken on My own authority, but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 *I know that His command is eternal life. Therefore what I say, I say as the Father tells me.” [5]
