God’s Word 

Matthew 4:4 NKJV “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

God’s word is the truth and has the power to make you free when you believe and act on it (John 8:32, James 1:22). There are things you must know and believe about God’s word (the Bible): It is life changing. In the parable of the Sower, Jesus said, “The seed is the word” (Luke 8:11). You may not understand the power within a seed, but you know that when you sow it in good soil, it will spring to life; it will not just sit there and do nothing, it will produce fruit. Likewise, your Bible is “the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe” (1Thessalonians 2:13 NKJV). It works. “My word…will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11 NIV). Note the word “sent.” Every word God speaks is on a mission and is guaranteed to accomplish it in accordance with His will, His strategy, and His timing. It is creative. “By God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed” (2Peter 3:5 NIV). God’s Word was powerful enough to create everything that exists. God did not strive or sweat, He just spoke, and it was accomplished. So, speak God’s Word! It is authoritative. “They were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority…they were all amazed…saying, ‘What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out” (Luke 4:32, 36 NKJV). The forces of darkness around you today must recognize and submit to God’s Word, so stand and act on it!
