Energized by the Word
The Bible lets us know that the Gospel of Christ (the Word of God), is the power of God.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18
In other words, the power, or the energy of God is communicated to our spirits when we listen to, or hear the Word of God.
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
In other words, the Word of God communicates the power of God to our human spirits, and it also communicates faith to it.
Could it be that these verses are trying to basically communicate the same event or process to us?
When we have less faith, we might know the right things to do, but still find ourselves not doing them. We find that we are procrastinating, putting off, postponing, forgetting or giving one excuse or another for doing what we actually know we ought to be doing.
When more faith comes, we find ourselves doing these same things. We see ourselves acting on what we knew we should have acted on. We see ourselves, speaking our faith, preaching, speaking out, not giving reasons for not doing acts of faith any more, but just acting out the Word of God, moving and doing these things
Just like 12 spies where 10 of them gave reasons why there was no need to act out God’s promise of the promise land being theirs now, but Joshua and Caleb, filled with faith, said they have to do it now, we see ourselves being so eager to go out and fight, speak up, go out and win, go on and give what it takes.
More faith seems to naturally give us more energy, more power.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:17
The communication of the Word of God stirs up faith in us. Faith causes God’s energy, God’s power, to rise up in our human spirits. This power affects our words, our strength, our actions, and even other things and people around us.
The faith of a father can keep his wife and kids healthy. The faith of a mother can keep her kids and even her parents and siblings safe.
Faith can protect, heal, bless, save and increase. It can make us do the things we knew we should do before, but we did not feel the strength to do.
However, it all comes from the power, the energy, the Word of God causes to rise up in us.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30
Christ Jesus is the Word of God made flesh – John 1:14.
If there’s anything you are planning, and you don’t know how to go about it, the Word contains the Wisdom and the strength – the energy – you need to about it!
You need power to accomplish your goals. Yes. Without enough power, you will fizzle out.
The Word of God contains all the power you need to accomplish your goals and plans.
Just get into the Word!!
