THE POWER OF THE WORD
Memorise:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. .. Hebrews 4:12
Read:
Psalm 119:105-112
Message
The word of God is not just a collection of stories or moral teachings; it is a living and active force. It has the power to create, to transform, to heal, and to deliver. In the beginning, God used His word to bring the universe into existence, and that same word is still sustaining all things today.
When you hide the word of God in your heart, it becomes a shield against the attacks of the enemy. It serves as a compass that gives you direction when you are confused. The Psalmist said, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Without the word, you are walking in spiritual darkness.
The word of God also has the power to cleanse. As you read and meditate on the scriptures, the Holy Spirit uses the word to wash away worldly thoughts and sinful desires. It renews your mind and aligns your thinking with the purposes of God. A person who is full of the word is a person who is full of faith.
To experience the power of the word, you must do more than just read it; you must believe it and act upon it. The word only works for those who mix it with faith. When you stand on the promises of God, even when the circumstances look contrary, you are setting the stage for a miracle. God is bound by His word, and He will never let it return to Him void.
Beloved, make the word of God your daily bread. Don't let a day pass without feeding your spirit from the scriptures. As you prioritize the word, you will see it manifesting in your life in the form of breakthroughs, peace, and spiritual growth.
