THE WORD OF GOD IS VERY POWERFUL

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Hebrews 4:12

“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.”

Additional Verses

📖 Genesis 1:1-31; John 1:1-18; 2 Timothy 3:15-17

“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” (John 1:1). It is the Word that created Heaven and earth and the human being. From Genesis 1, it was a matter of the Word which said, “Let there be” and things came into existence. All things were created from nothing. This is evidence of how powerful the Word is. The Word of God causes changes to people’s lives when they are open to receive whatever the Word says. The reason why the Word causes changes is because the Word is Jesus Christ Himself. Your heart becomes the Spiritual reservoir to receive the Word of God. When you open up to receive the Word, it pierces right into your soul. Whatever situation may have been bothering you, it is the Word which pierces right into that situation to bring life. Once you receive the Word into your heart, in order for changes to take place in your life and your world, you must speak out that Word. It is your responsibility to tell the world that you now belong to Jesus Christ just as Paul reminds every believer in Romans 10:9 when he says, “But if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is LORD, and in your heart believe (adhere to trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Likewise, whenever you realize that you have sinned and you feel this heaviness in your heart that something has really gone wrong, it is only when you speak the word of confession with your mouth that the oppression of sin will be lifted from you. When talking about confession of sin we are not talking of whispering to yourself in the inside, but you have to really use your mouth to talk yourself out of the bondage of that sin. Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Did you know that when things are not going right for you, or that when you are sick or you have fallen into sin, there will actually be a division between your soul and the spirit which makes you a child of God? The authority in the name of Jesus Christ is in how much the Word you have in your heart which you can use to cause changes in your life. It is only when you apply your faith by declaring the Word of God to change your situation. This is why in the above text you are being reminded of the power that is in the Word of God. Remember the Word of God is not just word but it is extraordinary as it is the Spirit of God that makes the impossible, possible. Because you are full of the Word, in times of crisis, the Word will overflow to counter any challenges, because Jesus Christ rules in you. So whatever situation you may be in right now, begin to confess the Word of God and you are going to see and experience positive changes in every area of your life. Alleluia!

Prayer

Almighty God, I thank You for Your Word which causes changes in my life as it is sharper than any two-edged sword. Help me to always be open to receive the Word and fill my heart. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, Amen.
