Sinking Into God’s Word
Psalm 119:105:112
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
I have entitled this today: Sinking In God’s Word
According to Hebrews 4:12, “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”.
As A Christian, according to Heb 6:5: And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
The Word of God is something that we, as children of God, are able to taste.
Psalms 119:105 says Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The only lamp in the world that produces true spiritual light is the Bible.
The writer of this Psalm swore he was going to perform what it said.
We need to have a made up mind that no matter what happens, we are going to take our Word, (Bible) and do what it says to do.
1 Peter 1:23 says: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
We are Born again not by corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
John 1:1-4
John 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 any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:14 says:
John 1:14 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.
There will be times in this walk of faith where we will be afflicted, and there will be times that God will test us.
There will be times that our walks will not be easy, but remember we have the Word of God, if we have the Word then we have a hold of Christ Jesus and we will be all right.
According to Psalms 119:110, there will be times that the wicked will lay snares for me, but when they do stay focused on the Word of God.
The Word of God is your strength and you will make it through.
Pr 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Church, we need to learn to run to the Word, run to the Lord and there will be safety.
Psalm 119:111
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:
Gods Word has not died off; Gods Word endureth to all generations.
The testimonies come from what is recorded in the Word of God.
If God revealed Himself to some in the Word: then why not me, why not you?
God showed up in the fiery furnace, God showed up in the lions den, God showed up when some were even in prison and set them free.
The Word of God has not changed but we have.
Psalm 119:112
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
To “perform” in Hebrew means to do.
Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Luke 1:1-4
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Church, we need to be doers of the Word and not hearers only.
The instructions have been given to us, and through His Word we will be able to stand no matter what happens in our lives.
In the Word of God there were eyewitnesses, there were ministers of the Word that were revealed.
We need to know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Dream 4-15-09
I dreamed that I was observing a woman. The woman was going through a tough time. I noticed a life size Bible that was in front of her. The Spirit of God opened the life size Bible. I knew that the Lord was about ready to give her a Word. The woman walked over to the life size Bible and started to read the Word that God was giving to her. As she read the Word she was standing on the Bible, she, you could say, was standing on the Word. I then noticed that she literally sunk into the Word. I walked over and I looked inside the life size Bible and I knew that this lady was going to be alright because she was in the Word.
Interpretation
An observing dream, a message dream
This woman was going through a tough time and I notice a life size Bible.
The Spirit of God opened the life sized Bible. I knew that the Lord was about ready to give her a Word.
The Lord was giving her a sure Word of Prophecy.
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
The woman walked over to the life size Bible and started to read the Word that God was giving to her.
As she read the Word she was standing on the Bible, she, you could say was standing on the Word.
God wants to give us a Word this morning: Read the Word and stand upon the Word of God.
2Co 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
God has a sure Word of Prophecy for us. In order to receive it, we have to be willing to dig into the Word of God.
If God has made a promise to us, we stand upon the Word of God and don’t be moved by obstacles that are placed before you.
We are given exceedingly great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Lust for this world will tear us away from where God is trying to take us to.
In the dream, I noticed that she literally sunk into the Word.
Maybe what we need to is sink into the Word of God.
Maybe we need to sink into the Bible!
I walked over and I looked inside the life size Bible and I knew that this lady was going to be alright because she was in the Word.
Church, if we stay inside the Word we will be all right.
John 15:1-8
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Notice verse 7, If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Church, as long as we are in the Word and living the Word, we will be all right.
Maybe this morning you are going through a hard time and you need a Word from the Lord.
Psalms 119:105 says Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The only lamp in the world that produces true spiritual light is the Bible.
As a Christian, according to Heb 6:5: we have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
If that is the case, then we need to sink into the Word of God, for He is our answer this morning.
Maybe you need a sure word of Prophecy that God will give you.
I know, at times, people will speak a Word that they hear from the Lord, but I also know that He will speak to me if I am willing to listen.
I listen by sinking into His Word that has been given to me.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Jas 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
God has a life size Bible for you this morning. He wants to open it up for you and He wants to give you a Word from Him.
He wants you to stand upon the Word that He has for you.
He wants you to get in tune with Him and sink into what His Word says to do.
The Bible was life size, because it’s your life!
