The Word of God is Powerful

by with No Comment Uncategorized

The Word of God is powerful because it is God speaking and not man. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart - Hebrews 4:12 NKJV There is so much that we can say about the Word of God, we can’t cover it all in one Blog post.

The benefits of knowing the Word of God

All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 2 Timothy 3:16-AMP 

God’s Word is like a life map or GPS to us. It gives us direction directly from the mouth of God. Without it, we would be so lost and deceived by the enemy. Hosea 4:6 AMP says; “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will]". The ignorance of the truth of God keeps us bound by the devices of Satan and leads to destruction.

God’s people must know His Word. We need the Word of God to build our faith in Christ. So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17. Develop a habit of reading or listening to the Word of God every day. Just like our physical bodies need food and water, our spirit man needs the Word of God for growth. “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 4:4

God’s Direction

I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you - Psalm 32:8 AMP. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJV. God’s Word is the ultimate wisdom we need to live in this life. We should always ask for the Holy Spirit to lead us. Jesus said in John 16:13 NKJV - However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come.

The Word of God is a Weapon

The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit – Ephesians 6:17. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart - Hebrews 4:12 NKJV. The Word of God is a powerful weapon for deliverance against the forces of darkness.

How Jesus Defeated Satan

When the Lord Jesus was attacked by Satan in the wilderness He used the spoken Word of God (see Matthew 4:1-11) to defeat the tempter and deceiver. He quoted what is written in God’s word and was victorious over the enemy.

The battle in the mind

Speak the word of God when the enemy attacks your mind with evil thoughts, read it to yourself, or if you know it by heart speak it out loud.  The Word of God is a perfect weapon to fight intrusive thoughts. Any thought that does not align with the truth of God should be cast down by speaking the Word of God to silence the lies of the enemy.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled - 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV.

Testimony

I went through a difficult time in my life and I encountered the transformative power of the Word of God. Despite trying various solutions, nothing seemed to work. One day, I decided to pray to God alone and asked for help. God led me to read Deuteronomy 18: 9-14, and as I finished reading, I felt a heavy weight being lifted off me. It was a transformative deliverance experience that freed me from the influence of demonic spirits and ancestral worship. My body felt so free and light after that. This encounter marked the beginning of my life in Christ, and I found a local church through prayer and guidance from the Lord.

Conclusion

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God - John 1:1. There is no other foundation we can build on but the Lord Jesus, who is the Word of God. May the Lord Jesus bless you.

Power in the Blood of Jesus

There is Power in the Blood of Jesus

Many testimonies prove that there is power in the blood of Jesus. The Word of God in Revelation 12:11 says, And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

The Forgiveness of Sins

We must be forever grateful for what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross. The blood of Jesus was shed to reconcile man with God. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace – Ephesians 1:7. 

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith – Galatians 3:13-14.

The Overcoming Power in the Blood of Jesus

In the Old Testament, we see the foreshadowing of the power in the blood of Jesus. In Exodus 12:13, we know how the children of Israel applied the blood on their doorposts to prevent the angel of death from striking them. We also read about how the high priest used the blood of animals to sprinkle on the Most Holy Place for sanctification (Hebrews 9:1-28).

The name of Jesus is the most powerful, Romans 10:13 says, For “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The blood of Jesus is a powerful weapon that is available for God’s children for cleansing and deliverance. Pray and apply the blood of Jesus and secure victory over your battles. Jesus came up, and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me - Matthew 28:18-20 AMP.

Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you – Luke 10:17-19.

Testimony

While in prayer one morning, I received a song about the Blood of Jesus. I then sang that song, and later that night, I had a spiritual attack in which I saw an enemy who had laid a trap for me. I kept reciting the words of that song, “Blood of Jesus cover me, Blood of Jesus fight for me,” and the trap turned around and caught the enemy, causing them to fall into their own trap. I give all the glory to the Lord Jesus; without Him, we are nothing.
