Breaking the Miracle BarrierSample

 The Power of Sound

God created the universe with words—with sounds. We create our worlds with words—with sounds. Put another way, while our thoughts fuel our inner lives, our words shape our outer lives.

Our words can agree with God or with the enemy. When we make “God sounds”—when we speak His words—we are creating (or re-creating) our realities. We are setting the stage for breakthrough. God’s Word always accomplishes His will. And we can send God’s Word to accomplish His will through sounds from our holy mouths. God wants us to say the same thing about our lives that He is saying—even if our lives do not currently match the promises.

God’s perspective is different from ours. He sees us through the saving blood of Jesus Christ. He sees our ending from our beginning. If we want to tap into the sound of now, we have to say the same things that God is saying about our lives. The power of life in our words can move God to create whatever it is we need to fulfill His promises in our lives and bring us into breakthrough. The sound of now shifts realities.

Keep this in mind: Sound never dies; it just grows fainter. The sound of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech is still out in the universe; the sound waves are just too indistinct for the human ear to hear. Likewise, the sound of your prayer never dies. George Washington’s prayers for America are still in God’s ears. Your grandmother’s prayers for you are still before God’s throne. God does not exist in time. Everything is present with God.

Scientists tell us there is a sound barrier—and it can be broken. That is what creates a sonic boom, when objects travel through the air faster than the speed of sound. In the realm of faith, the sound of now breaks a spiritual barrier. Understanding the dynamics of sound is important to the sound-of-now revelation. If we fail to comprehend the importance of the dimensions of sound, we will not fully engage (at least not knowingly) in the benefits sound offers to those who lift up their voices and cry aloud.
