POWER IN THE WORD TO SAVE
Memorise
It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
Read
Hebrew
4:12,
12 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.
KJV
MESSAGE
Just as physical
energy is generated by physical food, spiritual energy is generated by looking
into the Word of God. The Word of God is the source of life. Without the Word,
there is no way we can cultivate a good relationship with the Almighty God. The
Word of God is the secret of every hidden treasure, and until you engage the
Word, you will be operating at the level of ‘ordinary’. Those that are in the
flesh will always be under the power of the carnal mind but those that are in
the spirit will always allow the Word of God to guide and direct them. It is
the Spirit of God that brings the body to life through His Word. It is this
Word that gives us an understanding of what one must do to be saved from the
destruction to come. It is with this Word that you defend yourself against
every arrow of the enemy. It is with this Word that you engage the devil under
any situation and circumstance. The amount of God’s Word you have in you is how
much of God you carry and when you carry God inside of you, then you have the assurance
of victory on all fronts. There is so much power in the Word to save and to set
one free from every bondage and satanic oppression.
“For the Word of God is quick and powerful, and
sharper than any two-edged 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.”
Hebrew 4:12
The Word of
God as the shepherd staff should not be rejected or compromised if the sheep
will not be lost finally without remedy. There are many people today who do not
allow their lives to be governed by the Word of God and they also live to see
the consequences of their decisions. An Apostle of Jesus Christ wrote that all
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness. When we open our
lives to the Word of God, there is salvation for us from every path of
destruction, because the Word will redirect us to where we will find safety for
our lives.
When we open
our lives to the Word of God, we are corrected, rebuked, warned and guided away
from the path of perdition. With this, we are saved from the hands of the
wolves of this world that are looking for those to devour. There is great joy in
the Word if we are disciplined enough to hold onto it. As long as we look unto
that Word of liberty, there will be no fear in our hearts because He that
watches us is committed to delivering us from the horrors of sin and death. How
do you gain access to the Word that guarantees salvation from the destruction
of life? It is by reading and meditating on the Word of God,
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth”
2nd Timothy 2:15
To study is
to work at what you have read with the purpose of understanding, retaining and
utilising the information. There is great depth in the Word of God. The Word
creates (Genesis 1:3). I decree
into your life; every area where darkness has interrupted the plan and purpose
of God for your life will be flooded with light in Jesus’ name.
Key Point
It is the Word that you honour that delivers.
