| At Creation, the Lord spoke and things happened as His Holy Spirit just effected what was spoken. There was other player, only the Word and the Spirit.
But once the Lord created man and gave him dominion over the earth He initiated a new way of operating - at least in the earth.
That new way of operating involved man at every turn:
The Word was delivered to man to speak by the Holy Spirit.
It pleases the Lord when we, by faith, partner with Him in His work on earth. He doesn't need us to accomplish things, He just enjoys the relationship, seeing us grow as we enjoy being partners with Him.
He Sent His Word but we must deliver it to those who are in darkness, those who are in bondage, those who are sick. It is a partnership.
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. |
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. |
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. |
