The Power of God's Word

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

Now there is a powerful Truth that will allow us to walk in the fullness of God’s victory and peace through Jesus Christ, we are to study to show ourselves approved unto God. But here is even a more powerful Truth, we are not alone in our studying. No loving parent ever leaves the education of their child solely up to the child. And God has not left us alone, we have Jesus with us, He is empowering us and strengthening us to rightly divide the Word of Truth, and because we are one with Him, we will never be ashamed. “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.” John 15:5 The same Spirit of power that God gave to Jesus, His Holy Spirit, has been given us, to strengthen us and help us in studying and in living God’s Truth. Through Christ we are definitely never alone! “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom that Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring to remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26 Notice here that our Father will teach us all things, there is no limit with God, and we can know all things by the power of the Holy Spirit that is now within us! That is one of the major Truths of Salvation that we will be going over and over again, we are not limited, our Father is with us, and nothing is impossible when God is involved. Matthew 19:26

So knowing that there is a blessing when we study the Word of God, and knowing that our Father is right here with us strengthening us and leading us in all of His Truth, let’s begin to study His Word! Let’s study His Word together, and praise God let’s study His Truth when we are alone. Through the power of Christ let’s live to see the glory within our Father's Eternal Word! The Holy Spirit will cause us to desire it, long for it, dwell within it, and desire to glorify others with it! Jesus will empower us to be sowers of God’s precious seed, His Word, the Word of Life. We can never do this alone; we absolutely need God to be the Head here, if He isn’t than we have nothing to offer the world except lies and deception. With God, and only with Him, can we become workmen that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

Right now I ask our Father, in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to lead us and guide us in the paths of righteousness. Father teach us all things, and glorify us with Your presences and Your knowledge and wisdom. Father give us all of the things that pertain unto life and unto godliness. We praise you Father for making us one with Your Word, we thank You that it flows from us as rivers of living waters, as freely and as powerfully as it flowed from Jesus. We thank You that You cause us to use it in complete and total love, that it is You Father within us fulfilling Your will in every aspect of our lives. We know that You will never leave us or forsake us, and that with You Father, everything is possible! We praise Your Holy Name and A-men!

"The Words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." Psalm 12:6

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1

"For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and morrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

"If ye abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7
