Recap very Quickly we have the ownership of Gods Word and Jesus went back to be the Word.
Joh 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Joh 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
Joh 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Jesus went back to the Father to His former Glory, Before Jesus was manifested on Earth He was the Word of God. Jesus has returned back to be the Word and the Power of the Word. This Book we call the Bible is Like Having Jesus Christ in Our Midst.
The specific Works of the Word of God for our Lives;
Foundational Scripture;
2Co 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore
have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
The way of life in the Word of God is receiving His Salvation and living by His Name, or His Word.
Psa 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
Psa 116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
Psa 116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Psa 116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Psa 116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Psa 116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
Psa 116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Psa 116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? (What can I do for the Lord who has saved me???)
Psa 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Psa 116:16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
Psa 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
Psa 116:19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
1. It works (Eph. 1:13).
Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth (Received it as truth), the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (The Holy Word of truth(God)is the Gospel of Salvation.)
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
True Salvation is More then Confession its believing,….
True Salvation is receiving for a Truth, the Gospel message or the WORD of
God and then living by it. Yes your saved by Grace. But we are talking about Living a Completed Spiritual Life. Not about living a Life of Chaos, Confusion, and Despair. But becoming all that you possibly can, because that is your true destiny.
People have a natural driving force to become complete and full, Now Listen the only place that this desire is quenched is living and operating in the Word of God.
Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Listen what is the Law of God except it be the Law of life in Christ Jesus that has made me free of the Law of Sin and death.
Gods righteous Law or His Words Is the Power of Life, the scripture in Psalms Teaches us that
1 those who find the Word of God a Joy, blessing and a way of governed life (Ref. Jesus the manifestation of Gods word said he was the Way, truth and life.) Will, they’ll do what?,
1. They Will or Shall, that means positive experience is going to happen and nothing can stop it…. But hey will be planted in the river’s of water, aka.. the Spirit of God.
2. All that is yours and you are capable of having and producing will come to pass, in your life or your fruit in your season;
3. You shall never be spiritually weak, that means you’ll always have the power for what ever area of life you are going thru.
4. Are you ready for this,….. Whatsoever He doeth, What ever area of his life that he applies His self to… weather it be Work, Family , Marriage, It shall prosper and that means Become totally and securely rich in every area The Person of God operates in.
1Pe 2:1 Therefore laying aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings, and all evil speakings, (1Pe 2:1 ERV. So then, stop doing anything to hurt others. Don't lie anymore, and stop trying to fool people. Don't be jealous or say bad things about others.)
1Pe 2:2 desire the sincere milk of the Word, as newborn babes, so that you may grow by it;
1Pe 2:3 if truly you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1Pe 2:4 For having been drawn to Him, a living Stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect, precious with God;
1Pe 2:5 you also as living stones are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1Pe 2:6 Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him shall never be ashamed." (Isa 28:16 ERV Because of these things, the Lord GOD says, "I will put a rock--a cornerstone--in the ground in Zion. This will be a very precious stone. Everything will be built on this very important rock. Anyone who trusts in that rock will not be disappointed.)
1Pe 2:7 Therefore to you who believe is the honor. But to those who are disobedient, He is the Stone which the builders rejected; this One came to be the Head of the corner,
1Pe 2:8 and a Stone-of-stumbling and a Rock-of-offense to those disobeying, who stumble at the Word, to which they also were appointed.
THE WORD OF GOD IS A STUMBLING STONE TO THE DISOBEDIANT, AND THE INCOMPLETE.
Everyone Has been Appointed to live totally by the Word of God.
I mean come on how Can A true Child of God Have the Mindset of Christ if the Words of Christ are not with-in them.
Did you know it’s impossible to have the Financial freedom or the Perfect health that God Has promised you, if you don’t follow the Biblical instruction in God’s Holy Word on How to Have them.
Many ppl who have, came to be born Again often backslide and turn away.
Claiming that Christianity is a lie and doesn’t work, but the real reason it didn’t work was because they didn’t get into.
The Word is the Key to Being a Person of God that you have been called to be.
Ref. Gods Ppl perish for a lack of knowledge,…… In the last days there shall be a famine not of bread and water but of the Word of God……..
A last day Encouragement for the Church
2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come……………………………….
………………2Ti 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Psalms
Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Jas 1:18 Of his own will (Mindset) begat he us with the word of truth(Jesus Christ) that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Jas 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,( Able to receive, and believe asSound Doctrine) slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jas 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Jas 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls the (Word saves our souls)
.
Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Jas 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed
And Paul explicitly says that we are saved through this Gospel (, 1 Cor. 15:2).
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
I’am going to Give an account one day, Gods Going to Look at me and Say Pastor Junior, did you preach my Word, and I will say quickly, yes.
Then God will turn to You and say did you receive what he preached and you will have to give a account.
He calls it a to everyone who believes (Rom. 1:16). Paul was not ashamed of this Gospel because it was not his concoction, but is rather the Gospel of God (Rom. 1:1), and therefore it possesses God's power, power for a specific purpose.
The last and final purpose is to save. is an inherent capacity or potency of the Gospel, and the Gospel possesses this power to save anyone, also the "Greek" who represents all who are outside the covenant.
How does this dynamis ( Engrafted Word) save us? It saves us by revealing God's righteousness, the righteousness which avails before God. The Gospel saves because it delivers and justifies the sinner. On occasion the Gospel is equated with salvation itself.
When Paul writes (1 Thess. 2:8) that he imparted the Gospel of God to the Thessalonians, he means that he has imparted salvation. It is significant that to the Old Testament is attributed this same power to save. (1 Tim. 3:15) Why because it’s the Complete Words of Life, for all those who really believe.
