Want to walk free from sin? Free from doubt, unbelief and failure?
Want the wisdom of God in every situation...at work, at school, at home?
Someone once said your life will be the result of the four people you spend the most time with...why? Because you are soaking your mind with their speech and their beliefs.
What if you spent time with Jesus?
That sounds great, but how would you do that, exactly?
By spending time in the Word...Jesus IS the Word!
He IS the WORD! All of it, manifested in flesh and blood.
'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has cone into being. In Him [The Word] was LIFE, and the LIFE was the LIGHT of men. The LIGHT shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
'And the WORD became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.' [John 1:1-5,14]
'He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called THE WORD OF GOD. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From HIS MOUTH comes a SHARP SWORD...' [Revelation 19:13-15]
That's why 2 Corinthians 1:20 can say that every promise, or word, of God is YES in Him...because THEY ARE HIM!!! And we are one Spirit with the Lord...and WE are IN HIM! [1 Corinthians 6:17]
1 Corinthians 1:5 tells us that '...in everything you were enriched IN HIM...'
Okay. Now What?
Here are some of the reasons it's important to read the Word every day, to speak the Word every day, to meditate on the Word throughout the day:
'Establish my footsteps in Your Word, and do not let any iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.' [Psalm 119:133-135]
'The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.' [Psalm 19:7]
'This book of the law shall not depart from your MOUTH, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to DO according to all that is written in it; for then YOU will make your way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have SUCCESS.' [Joshua 1:8]
"It is the Spirit Who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the WORDS that I have spoken to you are SPIRIT and LIFE." [John 6:64]
'And do not be conformed to this world, but BE TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind, so that you may PROVE what the WILL OF GOD is, that which is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT.' [Romans 12;2]
An interesting aside...did you know that unclean spirits come out of the MOUTH of the dragon? Check it out...Revelation 16:13,14.
Why? Because words are spirit, period. In Deuteronomy 30 we are told to CHOOSE life and prosperity or death and adversity...how do we choose? Proverbs 18:21 explains that death and life are in the power, or hand, of the TONGUE! We choose with our mouths!
Hallelujah!
