Frame Your World
Through faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do appear
(Hebrews 11:3).
The verse above is so powerful! To get the full
import of its message, let’s take a closer look
at some of the key words. The first one is “worlds,”
which is translated from the Greek word, “aion.” Aion
refers to the course of life: how things go with you and
how they work around you. It refers to the world as
it is: its systems and directions—the different eras, like
you’d say, “the life and times of Mr James,” or “The
era of the Roman emperors,” the age, or successive
ages of men or societies.
Another key term is “word,” which is rendered
“rhema” in Greek. Rhema refers to the Word that God
speaks, which He addresses directly to the human
spirit. It’s different from the “Logos” of God, which
created the world: “In the beginning was the Word
(Logos), and the Word (Logos) was with God, and
the Word (Logos) was God” (John 1:1). Our opening
verse, however, isn’t talking about the creation of all
things. It says, “Through faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of God….” This is
talking about your life and your “aion”: using your faith
to frame, repair, arrange, or fashion your life and your
world to synchronize with God’s perfect will.
This was what the great elders of faith did: They
“framed” their world by the Word (Rhema) of God.
That’s another key word: “framed,” which is from the
Greek, “katartizo.” It means to mend, to fix, to set in
order, to arrange, and to fashion. The elders of faith
received the “Rhema” of God, and corrected, fashioned
their times with “Rhema”—the spoken Word. The Lord
Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”
(Matthew 4:4). That’s “Rhema.” When God speaks His
Word to your heart, He’s giving you “Rhema” and He
expects you to declare it. Use it to frame your life and
your future.
Confession
The Lord has given me control over everything that concerns me.
I refuse to be a victim, but live in the victory and authority
I have in Christ. My faith grows strong as I give my heart to the
Word, making me unshakeable and immovable at all times.
Hallelujah!
