SPEAKING THE WORD OF GOD

” ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED BY GOD AND PROFITABLE FOR TEACHING, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS; SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE ADEQUATE, EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK.” 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17

” DEATH AND LIFE ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE, AND THOSE WHO LOVE IT WILL EAT ITS FRUIT.” PROVERBS 18:21

The Word of God is a very powerful roadmap for our lives. Every word within its boundries was breathed by God himself. God gave us his word for a very important reason; to grow spiritually. The Holy Spirit works through the Word of God to rebuke and correct us when do wrong. He uses his word to train us up in his righteousness, to equip us to do his will and to grow us into his image so that we can become effective representitives for the gospel. As we continue to read his word, the Holy Spirit will continue to show us what direction we are to go. As we learn about the Word of God and his many promises, we should be confessing and standing on his promises. The words that come out of our mouths come from our heart. So, what have we filled our heart with? Have we filled it with doubt, worry and fear? If we have negative thoughts and apply negative words, the devil will use these against us. However, if we become entrenched in God’s Word and speak with authority, his words will be strengthened in us and our hearts will be filled with love, peace and his many promises. He will fill our lives with many good and loving gifts. We will then be living our lives through Christ and not the ways of the world. PRAISE THE LORD ALWAYS!
