The Omnipotent Power of Prophecy: The Battle of Words

By Vernon Cole�Truth

This book, THE OMNIPOTENT POWER OF PROPHECY, was chosen by God to reestablish the royal priesthood of Christ in all its power. In Matthew 10:20, the secret of the power is revealed, wherein the Lord said, "For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you." And in 1 Corinthians 12:6, the anointing teaches that "there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God that works all in all." The Spirit of God speaks "the word of wisdom." He speaks "the word of knowledge." Then God confirms the words with the gifts of the Spirit. Let us pray that the message in this book brings the ultimate Speaker back to our assemblies so our Father can "hasten His word to perform it" "and confirm the word with signs following."

Preface

Purpose of This Writing: The Royal Priesthood

Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ (The anointed Word), and they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (Revelation 20:6).

Those who are anointed of God in this life will also be anointed after the order of the Royal Priesthood throughout the millennial reign of Christ. The priesthood is identified in 1 Peter 2:9 as the Royal Priesthood.

This priesthood began with Jesus Christ when He was baptized with the Spirit and with fire in the Jordan River. And Christ is our High Priest now and forever. Our Lord conducted His ministries from the office of a prophet. Ezekiel prophesied, and fry bones were added to them, God speaking through them and confirming His word with signs following.

Christ told the apostles and disciples the key to the power of the Royal Priesthood when He said, For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you (Matthew 10:20). This scripture is explaining the means by which the twelve apostles represented the kingdom of heaven.

This writing will reveal the operation of Christ’s priesthood and the reason why all power in heaven and earth were His to perform the Father’s will concerning the church. I pray that everyone who reads this book and prays the ten prayers within it will receive the anointing in all its power. Until all the earth is filled with the glory of the Lord, let us submit to the Father’s Spirit speaking from within our hearts and planting the incorruptible seed of the new birth.

Chapter 1

How the Father Always Works

The Father has worked the same way since creation. He imagines in His heart what He wants to exist, He speaks words that correspond to the image, and His perfect faith causes every seed-word to produce the desired harvest. It is very good. Our Father would want all His sons and daughters to speak His word, believe His word, and get the comparable results He achieved in the earth during the six creative days. The key is to speak His Words and not our own. He only promises, I will hasten MY WORD to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). And this text is written to prove that anointed sons and daughters can have the Father speak through them as He spoke through His Son and our Savior and then work mighty signs by the authority His Word provides Him.

Code to the Power of God

We see the key to God’s great power as we combine these four scriptures:

The Lord has prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord you His angels, that excel in strength, that do His Word, heeding the voice of His Word (Psalm 103:19–20).

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, says the Lord. As for me, this is My covenant with them, says the Lord; My Spirit that is upon You, and My words which I have put in Your mouth, shall not depart out of Your mouth, nor out of the mouths of Your offspring, nor out of the mouths of Your offspring’s children, says the Lord, from that time forward and forever (Isaiah 59:20–21).

For I have given to them the words which You gave Me; and they have received them (John 17:8).

And now, Lord, listen to their threats: and grant to Your servants, that with all boldness they may speak Your Word, which stretches out your hand to heal, working signs and wonders in the name of Your Holy Son Jesus (Acts 4:29–30).

When we understand that the anointing is the Father speaking the Word of Truth through the mouths of anointed sons and daughters, we can see how these foregoing scriptures relate to the power of God. When God speaks, the glory of heaven and the angelic host perform His words.

This writing will prove that all the great miracles performed in the Old Testament and the New Testament were the manifestations of the hand of God after He spoke. As Scripture says concerning God, I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it (Ezekiel 36:36b). And again, Then you shall know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, says the Lord (Ezekiel 37:14b).

Chapter 2

The Word Comes Down from Heaven

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud: So shall My Word be that goes out of My Mouth: it shall not return void (of fruit), but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing wherein I sent it (Isaiah 55:10a–11). God, who at various times and in different manners SPOKE to the fathers by the prophets: Has in the last days spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1:1–2b).

This scripture proves that the words of the Bible were recorded after God spoke through anointed servants, who obeyed the commandment of prophecy.

God Was Always the Speaker

It is extremely important for us to note that the Father was the speaker of all the words of the prophets and God was the speaker through His Son. And we know that the sons and daughters in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost also prophesied as the Spirit gave them utterance. And the same Father is looking for sons and daughters today through whom He can speak, then hasten His word to perform it. The Father speaking, then working is the anointing. And it is the release of His power. This is only accomplished through the gift of prophecy, which was sent to us to empower us to fulfill the great commission.

We Too Are Called to Be Creators

When we speak the Word and get very good results, we are fulfilling the scripture and quotation of our Savior, who said, If you doubt not in your heart, but believe the words you say will come to pass, you will have whatever you say. So Jesus (Yahshua in Hebrew) was revealing the reason why His words carried the dominion of heaven in them, as He said, in essence, the Father who dwells in
