The Word of God Revealed Part 2

In the previous blog, I talked about the word of God being the greatest force in the universe. Everything in heaven and earth are held together by the word of God. Without the word of God nothing can exist. The city of Jerusalem is the centre of the earth and in the centre of Jerusalem is God’s temple. In the centre of the temple is the holy of holies; in the centre of the holy of holies is the Ark of the Covenant. In the centre of the Ark of the Covenant is the covenant itself which contains the word of God. The word of God is the centre of the world; if it is taken out then the world cannot stand.

Until the word of God is revealed to us, it will be difficult for us to know its power and how the word of God works in our lives. Revelation comes from the Lord himself by the help of the Holy Spirit. It is when we come to Christ in total submission, that the veil preventing us from understanding the word of God is removed from our eyes. Turning to the Lord is more than responding to an altar call. It is total dependence and reliance on God.

If we continue to be tied down by religion and traditions, then we are placing ourselves under the law that Christ has delivered us from. Doctrines of men blind their eyes and it becomes difficult to comprehend the word of God which can only be comprehended by the spirit of God. When we study the word of God in a legalistic way, then the same veil that covered the eyes of the Jews under the law will also cover our eyes. However, when we read the word of God with the eyes of faith which comes by the grace of God, then the veil covering our eyes will be removed to see the mysteries, power, wisdom, riches, goodness, sweetness and many other blessings in the word of God. The psalmist says “taste and see that the Lord is good.”

2 Corinthians 3:15-18 (New King James Version) “But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

Once you get hold of the word of God, hold on to it as a lion holds on to its prey. Keep saying it, keep talking it and do not let it be erased out of your mind until your desires are met. The word of God is like a light shining in darkness. Keep holding onto it until darkness disappears and every area of your life is flooded with the light of God’s word. You then begin to walk in the light of God. Maintaining your life with the word of God now becomes easy because every part of you is filled with his light.

Peter 1:19
(New King James Version) “And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”

Let the word of God dwell in you richly. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Open your mouth and continue to frame your life by the word of God. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. You reap the fruit of whichever you choose.

The Word of God Revealed

The word of God is the greatest force in the universe. Everything in heaven and earth are held together by the word of God. Without the word of God nothing can exist. Do you know that the city of Jerusalem is the centre of the earth? In the centre of Jerusalem is God’s temple. In the centre of the temple is the holy of holies; in the centre of the holy of holies is the Ark of the Covenant. In the centre of the Ark of the Covenant is the covenant itself which contains the word of God. The word of God is the centre of the world; if it is taken out then the world cannot stand.

Hebrews 11:3 (New King James Version) “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”

The worlds were framed by the word of God. This includes all things that exist on the surface of this earth. You and I are not exceptions. It is high time we began to frame our lives according to the word of God. You don’t need to wait until things become pear shaped before you start speaking the word of God into your life and into the lives of your loved ones.

The word of God is available for your use in your mouth and in your heart. Start confessing what the word of God says about you. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you. Allow him to help you to pray. The more you pray in the spirit, the more the revelation of the word of God that comes to you. Revelation of the word of God makes the word of God become part of you. The word of God becomes sealed in your heart where the enemy cannot steal it.

John 1: 1-3 & verse 14 (New King James Version) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Jesus Christ is the word of God and he holds all things together. He is the only one who would put your broken life together if you allow him. If he holds the whole world together then it is a wise decision to place your life in his hands. Allow him to be the centre of your life and your life will conform to the will of God for you. A life without Jesus is an empty life.

Psalm 23 (New King James Version) “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures.”

The most important thing is to allow our Lord Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Saviour. He is the only one who leads a man as a shepherd leads his sheep. You become his sheep when you begin to follow him. He is the one who makes a man to lie down and relax in the truth of his word. The place where a man lies has become his home, his resting place, a place of comfort and shelter. The lying down position is a position of absolute reliance and surrender.

This is a position of faith in the word of God and his promises. Stop struggling to make yourself lie down in the green pastures of his word. It is the Lord himself who makes you do this as you rely on him and not on your own ability.

Relax in the Lord and allow him to bring revelation to you through his word. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. You reap the fruit of which ever you choose out of the two. Start today by framing your life with his word. All the years that the locust and the cankerworms have eaten will be restored back to you.
