The word of the day is word...
Metaphysical meaning of
Word (rw)
Word--The agency by which
God reveals Himself in some measure to all
men, but to greater degree to highly developed souls; the
thought of
God or the sum total of God's
creative power. The
Word gives
order and regularity to the movement of
things and is the
divine dynamic, the
energy and self-revelation of
God.
The
Word of
God is
immanent in
man and all the
universe. All original
creation is carried forward by and through man's
conscious recognition of this mighty One.
Man is the consummation of the
Word. His
spirit has within it the
concentration of all that is contained within the
Word.
God being perfect, His
idea,
thought,
Word, must be perfect.
Jesus expresses this perfect
Word of
God as
spiritualman. "The
Word became
flesh, and dwelt among us" (
John 1:14).
Word, creative--The
creative idea in
Divine Mind, which may be expressed by
man when he has fulfilled the
law of expression. All words are formative, but not all words are
creative. The
creative Word lays
hold of
Spirit substance and
power. When
Jesus said with a loud
voice to
Lazarus, "Come forth," (
John 11:43) He had contact with the
creative Word. As spirituality increases we
fulfill the
law. Our
word has
power and is
creative.
word, healing--As
man is quickened with
spiritualfaith his
word is endowed with
power. It becomes so charged with
spiritual energy he is enabled to
heal all manner of diseases, even at a distance. "The
supplication [word] of a righteous
man availeth much" (
James 5:16).
word, reproving--A
word of authoritative command; a
form of vigorous
denial that reaches the
errorbelief behind the
disease. "And
Jesus rebuked him, saying,
Hold thy
peace, and come out of him" (
Mark 1:25).
words--The vehicles through which ideas make themselves manifest. Words that have in them the
realization of perfect, everywhere-present, always-present
divine life, and our oneness with this
life, are dominant in the restoration of
life and
health.
When
spiritual words
abide in man's
consciousness, the
word or
thought formed in intellectual and sense
mind must give
way to the higher principles of
Being. The whole
consciousness is then raised to a more
spiritual plane. Affirmations of words or of
Truth realized in
consciousness bring the
mind into just the
rightattitude to receive
light, and
power, and
guidance from
Spirit.
