Incarnation John 1:14

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

This part of scripture is hugely powerful. It not only reveals God Himself having come as one of us, but a kingdom principle that God intends for us to live by. Simply stated: Every word God speaks, He intends for it to be made flesh - or manifest!

Many people have become frustrated to a lack of manifestation in their lives as it pertains to the Word of God. They hear and believe the Word of God, but are still waiting on the promises to manifest in their lives. We misunderstand what the Word of God is and how it manifests in our lives. Manifestation is really the revelation of what was there all the time - it just wasn't visible. Manifestation is a two part process that involves both God and man. God initiates the process by providing the spiritual substance of the thing, then man is responsible for doing what is necessary in the natural to prepare a place for it to manifest. Without both there will be no manifestation.

"Now faith (the Word of God) is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1). This scripture reveals that God has provided the substance of all things we hope for through His Word. Our ability to see what we're hoping for is dependent upon a place being prepared in the natural.

This is more clearly seen in John 1:1 and John 1:14. It reads, "In the beginning was the word' ... 'And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." The Word has there all the time. However, when God decided to make His Word flesh or to manifest it, He had to find a "prepared place" (Mary's womb) for the Pre-existing Word to manifest itself. Man now could see what had been there from the beginning. We first receive a thing by our hearing before it can pass through our hands.

Every provision God has given man has come from His mouth. We continue to look for things at the mailbox, another person or through a job, when the authorized means of manifestation begin in the Word. God has done His part - He given us His Word. We must receive and prepare to see what He has said.

Thank God that His Word became flesh! Even more so, I am glad that His Word has found a prepared place in me and become flesh!

Happy Incarnation......
