The Words of Life

Too many people do not realize how alive God’s Word is and how it can make the difference in any man or woman’s life.

Hebrews 4:12:
For the word of God is quick [alive], 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.

The power that Jesus Christ demonstrated was not manifested with weapons but with words that He believed came from His Father. He implemented the Words of God to do His battles. Remember how Jesus Christ dealt with the devil when He was tempted coming out of the wilderness? In Matthew 4:4 He said the following to the devil who tempted Him to make stones into bread.

Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

The written word comes alive when we believe it. Our challenge is not to be taken in by the fears of the world. We trust in the promises of God, knowing that the written word believed can overcome anything the world throws at us.
