God's Word Empowers Us

Our Father's Word is so empowering that Jesus proclaimed: "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

Jesus never hesitated in speaking this Truth. He never qualified it, Jesus just flat out said, "Ask what ye will, and it will be done unto you!" There were never any doubts with Jesus. There were no problems or concerns, and no hesitation whatsoever, in His bold proclamation. This verse shows us clearly the power of our Father's Word working within us. It shows us all of the Word's power and glory. Jehovah's, our Father's, Word is absolute and it is defining. God’s Word is sharper than the sharpest sword. It is eternal, it is quick, and if you abide in it, and it abides in you, there is an answer to every situation that will ever come your way! Our Father's Word gives freedom that the world can never provide. No bank, no doctor, no consultant, can even begin to touch the power and abilities of a person who has become one with God’s Word. Our Father is not a respecter of persons, this power is available to all who have been born again!

As we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to study to show ourselves approved unto God, workmen who are not ashamed, I want you to consider the clarity of what we read in the Bible. Look at how our Father so freely uses words like all, every, whatever, whosoever, perfect, holy, powerful, quick, and now. When you read these bold and powerful statements never qualify them with human abilities. If our Father intended for a but, or a maybe, or a word such as sometimes, to be included in the scripture, He would have included them. Man and satan want such words to be added to the Living Word, but not our Father.

Man will say that we are to look at our flesh, our circumstances, others in the church, and only then will we will see what God truly means. Absolutely not, through the power of Christ we look at the Word. The Word of our Father is quick, sharp, powerful, and the Word is complete. We do not add to God’s Word and we do not take away from what it says. We come to our Father's Word as little children.

"Truly I say to you, whoever does not accept and receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a little child [does] shall not in any way enter in it [at all]." Luke 18:17 Amplified Bible.

If our Father said all, He meant all. If our Father said whatsoever we ask, He meant whatsoever we ask!
