Consider this thought and the Scripture it refers to. When our hearts are filled with the Spirit of God and out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, where are those words coming from?

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Luke 6:45

Are our words as powerful as God’s words if the Spirit of God is involved?

If we are speaking God’s Word quickened to us by the Spirit of God, then yes, those words carry the same authority and power. That’s part of our commission is to speak the Word of God. The Gospel of God that we preach is the power of God unto salvation. Proverbs 18:21 says that we have death and life in the power of our tongue.

We make alive, and we can create a death environment by the power of our tongue. Paul says in first Thessalonians 2:13

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

So what Paul is saying is, when we preach the Gospel to you, you don’t receive it as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God. If we go back to Romans 10, it is the word of God, and it has the same impact. It works effectively in those who believe.

So yes, our words can carry the same authority, the same life that they did when Jesus spoke them, or when the Spirit gave them to the various authors of the Bible.
