It's All About The Word

Today, I want to read from the book of John, chapter 1, beginning in verse 1 as we get into the subject, "It's All About The Word". Say that to yourself out loud where you are, "It's ALL About The Word!" Say it again. The question the world would have for a statement like that would be, "WHY is it all about The Word?" Because it's the Word that has made everything possible for us to be here today to experience the divine sovereignty of God.

When you really think about it, take the time to step back and look at the picture of the world today and our own lives, you will see that everything that has come to pass, big or small, has been a direct result of the Word of God. And if you don't realize that, I suggest you seek the Lord in prayer and ask Him to open your eyes because the enemy has surely placed blinders in your life that make you unable to see the hand of God moving everywhere you look.

So, let's look now at the book of John chapter 1, beginning in verse 1.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Will you pray with me? "Heavenly Father, we come to You today in the Name You have set above all other names, the Name of Jesus Christ, to pay homage to You and give You praise, honor and glory for Who You are, what You are and how mighty You are in all the world. We pay homage to You, Father God, for all You have done in our lives and continue to do even to this day. Father, we ask You together in one accord to open our eyes, our ears, and our hearts today. To see, to hear, and to receive the perfect Will of God into our lives today. It is in Jesus Holy Name that we come to You, thankful, grateful, and humbled to You for all the goodness and mercies You have shown us even now in this dark time in the world. But, David said in the book of Psalms 23 that though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death itself, we will not be afraid. Because You are with us, Lord Jesus! You have watched over us and interceded to the Father for us. And continue to do so today. Even though we do not deserve it, You do it anyway. Because that's how much You love us, Lord. And we are so thankful that You do. We are so thankful, Father God, that You have sent Your Son, Jesus, into this world to take our punishment for us so we might live and not die. That we might come home to You in Heaven when the day comes and live in joy, peace and happiness forever. Anoint us today, Lord Jesus, to hear the Word of the Living God today, let it ring in our hearts and minds for all time, let it take root in our hearts and yield a harvest of peace and happiness today. In Jesus Name we pray and ask it in faith, believing and expecting for it to come to pass. Amen and amen!!! (Give God praise where you are today before reading on. Amen?)

In the beginning was the Word. The bible says that the Word was with God and the Word was God Himself. And that Word that was in the beginning of all creation, not just man and all living things, but ALL of creation. And that the Word BECAME flesh and lived among you and I. There is no question to any of us that John is referring to Jesus in this passage. Jesus is the Word that became flesh and lived among mankind. Jesus is the Word that came to this Earth and lived as one of us. And it's this same Word that laid His life down on the cross to die in our place for the sins we committed in the past and still commit to this day.
