       The Word of God has a great deal to say about many things, and there is no shortage of help when it comes to aiding us with our individual problems in life. Remember in Ephesians 5:1 that the Apostle Paul told us, “…be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Now, if we turn all the way back in our Bibles, back to the very beginning, we find ourselves in Genesis chapter 1. We will find that God is creating the Universe, the sky, the earth, and everything that we see. But what I want you to note today is how God does this. He does this by ‘speaking’ things into existence. This is his method by which he creates new things. As we just talked about, Paul told us to be imitators of God. Well, we cannot speak new things into existence—things that have never existed in the literal sense; we just don’t have that power like God does. However, we can speak God’s own Word to our lives, to our situations, to our problems. We can speak the things he has already spoken and the power behind his Word can help us with our issues.
