THE WORD IS POWER

1 Kings 17:1-6< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

ÒBut the Word is very near in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.Ó (Deuteronomy 30:14) Anyone who is having the word in their mouth and in their heart will do the word. The ones who know to do the Word will undoubtedly know how to call on the word for use whenever challenges are demanding. Psalm 107:20, He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.Ó The same word of God that was sent is the same that is near our mouths and we are to use it as a weapon for defense against all that the enemy brings in our direction. ÒIn 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.Ó (John 1:1-3) The word of God is God. The word has never stopped coming to us since the beginning. Jesus, the living word of God, also declared His availability in John 10:10 ÒÉI have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.Ó The word that has been made available will only be available if our hearts have been available for the word to reign and rule. The word of God is true and is power. The Word will work for those that walk in it while living in this world of wickedness. Hebrews 4:12-13, ÒFor 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. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.Ó This is the same word that Elijah operated with a consciousness when he called on rain to cease for three and half years. The word of God is not without power to those who know to walk and to stand in the Word of God. When Elijah encountered Ahab, the king of Israel, all that was in his power was the living word of God. 1 Kings 17:1, ÒAnd Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, ÒAs the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.Ó What you eat is what you will become. If you will let the word of God be your daily bread and meditate on it day and night, the word will become of you and you will also be able to stand in declaring it when challenges demand it. Be a carrier of GodÕs word and His word will not fail in carrying you.
