A Quick And Living Word

Word of the Day
My Word is a living word, a quick word, an active word. Every Word was and is breathed by Me, given by Me through the Holy Spirit. Each and every verse is like a finely crafted instrument in the hands of a master surgeon. Each verse is designed specifically for a purpose and contains an essence of whom and what I am. Fathoms of revelation are contained with the depths of each Word and can never be exhausted of their truth and beauty. My Word, like Me, has no beginning or end. It goes on and on and on . . . waiting to be revealed and understood by a seeking heart.

So deep is My Word, there is not enough time or enough adjectives to relay the intensity and power of each syllable contained within. Suffice to say, each verse contains volumes upon volumes with the capacity to fill limitless libraries. I and My Word are one. We contain all you need.

Through the circumstances of life, your experiences and by the very fact you are born with a sin nature, you have in a sense become infected with a type of bacteria. It can only be destroyed—have its power removed from in your life—by the blood of the Lamb, My “Living Word” and your submission to it.

Of course, the first action needed in all cases is salvation through the life-giving work of My son, Jesus, on the cross (John 3:16-18, Romans 10:9-10). From the point of salvation you are a new creature, a new person and old things have passed away. You must come to a revelation of this and appropriate it by making decisions each and every day to let go of old ways (2 Corinthians 5:17).

When old ways, thoughts or habits try to infiltrate and spoil the new wine of our communion, you must refuse to accept them as what they really are. Replace them with the truth and do as I have instructed.

Renew your mind with the Word and your thoughts, motives and actions will follow.  It all starts in the mind with thoughts you either given into or take captive.  Cut all wrong thoughts and attitudes off at conception. Use My “Living Word” in a proactive way to cut asunder all oppositional lies of the enemy and like a garden after a spring rain, you will grow by leaps and bounds, reaping the fruit of salvation and sanctification.

“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12 NIV).
Prayer
Father, open my eyes to see the fullness, wonder and power of Your Word. Cause me to see it as a living Word with power to reveal the very essence of Your being to me. Take me into depths of revelation such as I have never experienced before. Lord, I submit myself and the things of the flesh to the power of Your Word and I choose to become obedient to it. Your sacrifice, Your blood has cleansed me from all unrighteousness and I continue to bring my flesh in subjection to the Cross and Your sacrifice.

Cause me to be quick to see when old ways and habits try to spoil my walk with You. Each temptation to walk according to the old man loses its power as I submit to the Word and believe all the promises You have spoken over me. Help me to be quick to see and hear before I make choices which are unprofitable for me and others. I choose to take my thoughts captive and walk according to the Spirit. As I do this, cut away every oppositional lie of the enemy and insert the truth about who I am in You. Water the garden of My heart and I will grow. Amen

Reflect and Journal

1. What areas of your life do you need to turn over to the Master Surgeon and let Him cut away, cleansing you with the washing of His Word?
2. What habits or old ways cause you to struggle and thereby bring condemnation to your heart? Take time to write it out and find a corresponding antidote in the Word. Choose to use your time wisely and confess these truths audibly over your weakness and as your mind is renewed you will receive an engrafting of faith to view yourself differently. When you view yourself differently, you act different.
