标 题：神命立就立
经 节：我口所出的话也必如此，决不徒然返回，却要成就我所喜悦的，在我发他去成就的事上必然亨通。（以赛亚书五十五章11节）
当神一开口说话，没有一件事能再保持原状。在时间的起头，神一开口，就由无变有，创造了整个宇宙。神照着一个模式创造天地：祂先说，事件接着成就，最后祂看所造为美好（创世记一：3～4）。神这个模式遍及整本圣经。每次祂显示自己的计画，事情就照着祂所说成立，祂看事情的结果为美好（腓立比书二：13）。神并非给建议，而是断然地说出，然后看着祂所说的实现。
每回耶稣一开口说话，祂所说的事就发生。痳疯病患发现，耶稣的一句话就等于是身体得洁净（路加福音五：13，十七：14）。瞎子知道，耶稣的一句话就等于是重见光明（路加福音十八：42）。借着一棵不结实的无花果树，门徒们看见，耶稣的一句咒诅就等于是毁灭（马可福音十一：20）。罪人借着耶稣的一句话得到赦免（约翰福音八：11）。耶稣尝试多少次才让拉撒路死里复活？只有一次（约翰福音十一：43）。耶稣一开口，没有一次不照祂所说的成就。
如果耶稣向你说话，那会发生什么事情呢？你是否研读圣经中耶稣的话语，却从未经历祂改变的大能？耶稣责备法利赛人，因为他们认为圣经的知识会带给他们生命。他们满足于话语的本身，却不去经历发出话语的那位（约翰福音五：39）。神的话在你生命的影响是何等强而有力！当你读经祷告时，倾听神在你身上的旨意。
When God Speaks, It Is So
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
When God speaks, nothing remains the same. At the beginning of time, God spoke, and a universe was created out of nothing. God followed a pattern when He created the earth: He spoke; it was so; it was good (Gen. 1:3–4). This pattern continued throughout the Bible. Whenever God revealed His plans, things happened just as He said, and God considered the result “good” (Phil. 2:13). God doesn’t make suggestions. He speaks with the full determination to see that what He has said will come to fruition.
Whenever Jesus spoke, what He said came to pass. Lepers found that a word from Jesus meant healing (Luke 5:13; 17:14). The blind man discovered that a word from Jesus meant sight (Luke 18:42). Through a barren fig tree the disciples saw that a curse from Jesus meant destruction (Mark 11:20). The sinner experienced forgiveness through a word from Jesus (John 8:11). How many attempts did it take Jesus to raise Lazarus from the dead? Only one (John 11:43). There was never a time that Jesus spoke that what He said did not happen.
What happens when Jesus speaks to you? Have you been reading the words of Jesus in your Bible without experiencing His word that transforms everything around you? Jesus condemned the Pharisees because they assumed that knowledge of the written Scriptures would give them life. They were satisfied with having the words instead of experiencing the person who spoke the words (John 5:39). How powerful a word from God is to your life! As you read your Bible and pray, listen to what God has to say to you about His will for your life.
