The Problem of God — Part 7.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:2 (KJV).
The earth perfectly created by God was now barren, without any form of life; it was under a roaring ocean covered with darkness. But the Spirit of God was moving over the water. Water represents the word of God.
Here are some passages from the Bible that show water to represent God's Word.
Ephesians 5:26-27 "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
Ezekiel 36:25 "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you."
Hebrews 10:22 "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."
What is so significant in the problem God faced was that the Spirit of God recognised where the solution was, the waters. The answer you seek is in the Word. All things were created by the Word and for the Word. Your situations and the solutions are both made by the Word.
God spoke the Word by calling those things that are not as though they are. God declared the solution. He did not spend time rebuking the problem. God was faced with darkness. He needs light. He called forth light. The darkness could not comprehend the light. The situation could not comprehend the solution.
You waste your precious time concentrating on your problems instead of analysing them and deriving the solutions. God did not ask God for the answer. God wants you to meditate. God analysed the situation and understood his desires. He desired light and not darkness, so he called forth the light.
Mark 11:24 " Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
"It is important to understand that your desires must first exist as conscious ideas before they become physical realities." — Jefferson O Imgbi "The Power of Image Nation."
