Has anyone had a dream about playing monopoly and then building with lego? Did you know this is a biblical dream of liberty from God’s precious Holy Spirit to help us carry out God’s plans for humanity?
It’s all about the power of our words – and Jesus tells us we are going to give account for all our words – even the little idle things we say. Because we are made in God’s image, as children always take after their parents – so we create with our words. God wants us to create good, health and well-being and not bring evil by our words.
Monopoly literally means “the right of exclusive sale” – we are bought with a price. But we are bought outright and not even a fragment of us now belongs to anyone but the loving Father God in Jesus Christ. He paid for our sin nature with His death. This is a good thing because it keeps us from the evil one, who is the one who steals, kills and destroys.
But lego may seem a strange “game” to be engaged in for believers in Christ until you look at the Greek meaning of the words, “to speak, to say, said, etc”.
It is “legō” in the Greek. So, when John 14:6 says, “Jesus said, ‘I am the Way the Truth and the Life,” that is what we build our new born clean life on. We are “in Him” made righteous. Now we are empowered to build good things.
In so many places this little word “legō” (in various forms*) appears in the original language of the Greek New Testament. There is a key here because Jesus tells us in Mark 11:22-24 that we can have what we say when we trust Him:
‘ So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
As His royal priesthood we can command sickness and disease to leave people’s bodies, just as Jesus did in His day. We are meant to be His operation in the earth. His death and resurrection have paid the price of sin and re-instated us as God’s sons and daughters. We have the dominion given back that was lost in the Garden of Eden.
We thank God that He works in us; it is not our strength or words we declare, but His. And His word is set even above His name. Sickness must leave.
Thank you Jesus for all you have won by Your amazing sacrifice for us!
