Power in the Word of God: 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.
