#63 “Understanding the Power of the God’s Word”
(The Word - Pt.1)

For 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”
[Hebrews 4:12]
King James Version (KJV)  

Welcome to the next session “Understanding the Power of God’s Word.” Over the past months we’ve covered numerous topic by now we should have a clear understanding of what pray is and what our role is in prayer. Now we should know how to properly enter into God’s presence and what barriers will keep us from getting our prayers answered by God. All of this is necessary in order understand that we are God’s mediators here in the earth realm.  It’s very important for us not to have anything occurring in our lives that would hinder or block our prayers. It is equally important to understand the real power backing our prayer: God’s Word, the power in the Name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Let’s start this session with “The Word.” We have spoken many times regarding prayer being our asking God to intervene into the affairs of earth. “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,” We’re asking God to fulfill His plans and purposes here on earth and in the lives of mankind. In order to help you understand this better we’ve talked about:

*       The importance of praying God’s Word
*       Understanding who God is
*       Understanding God’s Will
*       Knowing God’s Promises
*       Knowing Your Legal Authority in the Earth
 
Once we understand that we have been given dominion to rule over the earth; therefore, we should be able to move freely in our God given authority here on earth. We should not take this dominion for granted nor should we thank it is to be used for selfish gain or power. This authority was not given to us for personal gain but to be used for God’s glory.  It is because of man’s selfish greed that the earth is in the state it’s in now, but Christ came to restore the balance back into the hands of mankind.  When God created earth and mankind He created them to coexist harmoniously together each one meeting the needs or the other. However after the fall of man this hormonious rhythm was disrupted and through Christ Jesus mankind and creation now can once again function as God intended for the beginning. 

Then we understand who we are and our God given purpose, then God’s will; becomes the central driving force or all our prayers. It is only then that we can declare God’s predestined purpose for the earth and its inhabitants.  When we pray in accordance to God’s predestined purpose then there should be no doubt that we will receive an answer to prayer! Is there any wonder selfish prayers go unanswered? With the heart of God as the center of our prayers then God has free course to move in this earth realm and effect eternal change. This is why prayer is really so very simple, we just try and complicate it but it’s not. We simply say what God has said, when God say’s too.  So since God has already given us His word we just need to understand the proper handling of the Word. “Study to show yourself, approved unto God, a workman that need’s not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word Was God...” always keep in mind that it is God spoken Word that we pray, we are praying the very essence of God’s presence His spoken Word, which cannot return to Him empty!  It is the Word of God that reveals His true nature to mankind; He is not a liar what He says He will do. “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?(Numbers 23:19) It’s through God’s Word that we learn His true nature and then through our own experiences. We first take Him at His word, believing He will perform what He promised and He does. As we study the word of God, we study God. The more we learn about the more we trust His integrity.  

My Prayer: “Father God, thank You for the Word, which is a lamp unto our feet, and light unto our path, thank you for leading us into all truths. Thank you for your revelation knowledge the opens our eyes to Your truth. Thank You that as we study Your word daily we find deeper understanding of your truths keep us in your truth. We know that your word Lord 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. Father know our hearts by your words we ask this in Jesus name we pray Amen!”

Have A Bless Day…Go in God’s Peace!
