USE THE WORD OF GOD!
To use the word of God, we need to understand what the word of God is!
If I say to you: “I would like to spend time with you, let’s meet at 2 pm in the garden which is in front of the river.”
The words I spoke to you are thoughts of my mind, that came to my mind as a result of certain motivations and desires, influenced by the willingness of my Heart.
Therefore, my words are thoughts in my mind, translated into spoken words of a specific language, in order to communicate the thoughts of my mind with your mind. But for this to happen, we need to have the same language!
In order to have an agreement in our thoughts, we must have a common willingness in our hearts to do what we agree about! Which according to the given example, to meet each other in the garden!
The same thing is what God is doing by sharing his Word with us! Many people study the word of God but they are not willing to act on the word of God! Their relationship with the Father is not stable, because their lives are full of knowledge but are not developing this knowledge into life!
The Lord Jesus said that his words are full of Spirit and life! This means that His words are the thoughts of Life that have been spoken by the Spirit of God!
When you understand it and agree with it, by acting on the same common desire that God has for you, these words will fill your soul with the life-giving Spirit of God.
Therefore, God’s word is God’s thoughts shared with Us, which are the plans and intentions of God’s heart, and his will to do in our lives! However, we must accept his thoughts in our minds, being aware and conscious about its Truth and Reality! So we can allow our souls and lives to move and meet God, and allow God to do all that he is thinking about us! For All his thoughts are perfect and Good! Otherwise, we cannot have it, without having a common agreement with him, meeting him in the work of the atoning sacrifice of Christ.
He wants to meet us there always! That is the place for Him to share all the Promises that he has with us! And reveal to our souls the Eternal Secrets of his Heart (Which even the angels desire to know) It will cause us to have an intimate relationship with God!
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3: 16-17 NIV.
As Paul explains above, the word of God allows us to destroy all knowledge that surpasses it. It is good to correct, teach, rebuke, and build!
“ The Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” Jeremiah 1: 9-10 NIV
The work of God’s Word is to harvest, tear, clean, build, and plant. God needed Jeremiah to do and teach the Word on the earth so God could act according to his thoughts and manifest himself to humanity.
God Is Waiting For US to Keep His Word!
Should We Act?
We all know the story of raising Lazarus from the dead by the Lord Jesus! But let’s discover the secrets of the Kingdom of God in it!
“Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” John 11: 39-43 NIV.
There were a lot of hopeless believers surrounding The Lord Jesus, but the Lord’s actions were against the mindset of everyone! Which caused everyone to think that he was Crazy! However, the Lord Jesus was free from the wisdom of their mindsets! Jesus used to act through the Spiritual Mind of His Father, which is against the Spiritual Mindset of the Darkness that covered the earth!
When we put the Word of God into action, the resistance and criticism will appear through many people, who can be very close to us, as happened with Jesus through Martha & Mary! The sisters of the dead man!
The Lord Jesus revealed that the formula to see the Glory of God is Believe – Act – See God’s hands moving! In practicing this formula in our lives, we will allow the Glory of God to shine, as a light in the darkness of resistance!
“So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
The reason that the Lord Jesus prayed in front of the people, was to bring their consciousness to the awareness of the living God, who was alive among them, but none were aware of him!
The Lord Jesus is the Word of God in Action!
Many times we think that God is far! But the Bible tells us that God never left the Earth! However, the soul of humans separated from God because of their sinful life!
Although, Jesus was living in complete harmony with the Father, in an inner conversation in the secret place of the soul about everything in life! Once he was always conscious of the Presence of God and in agreement with every thought that comes from God, acting on it, because they were united in thought, heart, and action!
“When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” John 11: 43-44 NIV
This is the Glory of God! It is not about to pray that God shows His Glory without Us taking the risk of resisting the darkness!
Many believers in Jesus want Lazarus to come from death into life! Considering it as a matter of Luck!
The whole process of the Formula is very important to the Lord and to us! It is equal to the importance of the need for the Miracle to happen! Because this is what brings our souls back to God, resisting the unbelief, and facing the challenge of the Serpent in the head of the people, so the leg’s of Jesus can come and crush the head of the Serpent, to the manifestation of God’s Glory.
How can we use God’s Word to accomplish His will, and change our lives?
We must learn to apply the word of God in every situation in our daily life!
God’s word says:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22: 37 NIV
Rearrange your life specifically, and put God at the Top Priority. Invest your time in praising God, study the Bible, put all your daily thoughts and strengths into loving Him, and staying in His presence.
“He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” Mark 16: 15 NIV.
Evangelize and teach the Words of Truth to everyone! Apply them to all who need salvation and growth in the Kingdom of God.
Donate, invest in the word of God through His servants who serve you and those in need, with the pure intention of love, not with the intention of giving to receive!
Pray! God’s word says that in order not to enter and be influenced by Satan’s temptations, we must pray; Because when we pray, we are filled with the Spirit of God, who is leading our hearts and our thoughts to all the truth!
Allow the Holy Spirit to hold your soul & overcome the Spirit of this World.
Those who learned to live by the word of God, living through the Spirit of the Father who spoke and wrote His Word throughout the lives of his people, as the Lord Jesus taught, and did (practicing the scriptures, not only teaching it for others) so the word of God will be a lifestyle! Expressing the nature of God in practical acts. This is Love! Love is an Action of sacrifice!
Let Us become the fingers, hands, feet, and arms of God.
After all, this is what all creation is waiting for! The manifestation of the hidden Christ. Our lives are hidden in Christ! Our Love for each other is what prepares the ground of our hearts, releases the word of God into acts, becoming like Jesus! A living word of God, in the human lifestyle! As Jesus is, so we become in this world!
“For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed” Romans 8: 19 NIV
Meditate in the presence of God …
About which stones you need to remove in your life, to cause the Glory of God to bring the sealed promises of Christ to your life?… From inside of the cave out to the Glorious Life!
See Luke 14; Matthew 28; John 14; Matthew 5; Matthew 11; 1 John.
