FAITH CAPSULE: Just a word from God will terminate your entire struggle.

John 11:38-44

The psalmist declared, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”(Psalm 107:20) The word of God is power to deliver and to preserve. The Bible also recorded, “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 were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3) The same word that is being referred to is the same yesterday, today and forever. The book of revelation pointed out, “He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” (Revelation 19:13) There is no other one that was clothed with a robe dipped in the blood than Jesus. He came in the form of man through the Virgin Mary about two thousand years ago. Jesus is the reason for celebration because there is life in Him. Do you believe in the living Word of God? In the world today, there is trouble everywhere. However, when trouble gets to the heart it becomes evident that there is lack of believe in the heart. Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1) Yes, there is trouble everywhere but guard your heart from getting troubled by believing in the Word of God that gives life where there is death. Celebrating the birth of Jesus is not elevating one’s self in the word. You are still struggling, you are constantly overwhelmed, and you are not getting what you’ve been hoping for, because you are not getting into the Word. For so long you have been constant and conversant with the Word of God, but your problem is that the Word is not entering into your life. The Word of God is true and it is life. For four days, Lazarus was dead. His body was stinking, and there was no way in scientific understanding for Lazarus to have life again, but when the healing healer stepped into the situation, He brought Lazarus back from death. John 11:43 says, “He cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth! And he who had died came out of bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, loose him, and let him go.”  Jesus is alive; the issue that is causing you to struggle and that is constantly overwhelming you are far from taking your life. Just a word from God breathed life back to Lazarus. Scripture tells us, “Take the word as life not as letter because the word gives life but the letter kills (1Cor.3:6).”  That same word that located Lazarus will terminate your entire struggle. Just a word from God will terminate your entire struggle. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the word to sound in your direction.
