John 1:1 (KJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Many times, I have seen God’s people continue in His Word, receive His Word of Truth and be free. According to John 8:31-32, one of my own foundational Scriptures. The Truth is everything. Lies bind, kill, destroy and contort peoples lives and the Lord has given me eyes to see the Truth in every situation. I praise Him for this, it is a gift and I’m forever in awe of the Lord.
Another one of my life Verses is Isaiah 50:4 NASB- 4 The Lord [a]God has given Me the tongue of disciples, That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
Being a disciple (a taught one), is imperative when giving or receiving the Word of the Lord and discerning if the word is actually from the LORD or not.
Seeing and Hearing His voice, I wait on Him to provide His Wisdom and Revelation because it is His Word and His Holy Spirit combined that are His Prophetic Word. A Word in due season is like a well formed arrow that hits the target every single time. One Word from the LORD changes a person’s life forever.
Recently, I have seen people veering away from the Word of God. As if the Word of God isn’t enough for them, their substituted words somehow carry more weight. The Words spoken are their own and don’t even align with God’s Holy Scripture. This breaks my heart.
It has become evident to me to abstain from every form of evil and cling to His Word. Personally, I pray every single day that the Lord will open the eyes of my understanding, shine His light and allow me to see His Truth. I do not want to be led away by a silver tongued theologically schooled individual who wants to impart his or her words into my life.
If Jesus is taken out or left out, if the word spoken does not align with The Word of God – which is Jesus then it will come to nothing. People will be defeated and discouraged, and they will truly believe that God let them down. When the Truth is that a silver tongued theologically schooled individual spoke into the life of another without the anointing of the Word of God and Holy Spirit, thus producing nothing.
It is the responsibility of the hearer to know the Word of God and thus not be deceived. We are to weigh the Words that come forth prophetically and allow God to confirm them. If you know the Word of God, have established a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior, been baptized by the Holy Spirit and yielded your life, then you will continue in the Word and the Truth will be revealed and the Truth will make you free.
John 8:31-32(NASB) The Truth Will Make You Free
31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
LORD, we come before You today and repent for anytime we have been a silver tongued theologically schooled individual who has spoken our own word into the lives of another. A word that did not align with Your Word and was not anointed by You. Forgive us LORD.
LORD, we come before You today and repent for anytime we have received a word from a silver tongued theologically schooled individual who spoke into our lives their own word and we could not see that it was not the Truth. Purge any word spoken into our lives that was not Your Anointed Word. We choose to forgive these silver tongued theologically schooled individuals and we pray that they will repent and receive a relationship with Jesus Christ and be filled with Your Holy Spirit and receive the Truth and become free.
LORD, we come before You today and receive Your Holy Spirit a fresh and ask that You anoint our eyes to see and ears to hear Your WORD. We receive Your Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Wisdom, Revelation, Counsel, Might, Knowledge and The Fear of You Oh LORD. Baptize each of us freshly and impart Your WORD into our hearts.
LORD use each of us. Make us well formed arrows that hit the target every time.
LORD we align with Your Word in Hebrews 4:12 and our desire is to be equipped and anointed by Your Word Isaiah 50:4. Wake us morning by morning with ears to listen as a disciple. In Jesus Name. Amen
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Isaiah 50:4 (VOICE)
4 The Lord, the Eternal, equipped me for this job—
with skilled speech, a smooth tongue for instruction.
I can find the words that comfort and soothe the downtrodden, tired, and despairing.
And I know when to use them.
Each morning, it is God who wakes me and tells me what I should do,
what I should say.
Isaiah 50:4 (NASB)
4 The Lord [a]God has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
