Live By The Word!

‘but He (Jesus) replied, it has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God’ (Mat 4:4).

God’s Word is our life and we live by it because it has the Life!  We need to feed our spirit man with the Word of God.  Our spirit is bornagain through the incorruptible seed of the Word of God.  The Word of God sustains us.  Proverbs 4: 20-22 says, ‘My son, give attention to My words; incline your ear to My sayings.  Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.’ 

Jesus said in John 6:63, ‘it is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.  The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life.’  God’s Word in our mouth is spirit and life.  We speak God’s Word over our spirit, soul and body.  We speak over our circumstances and effect changes. God’s Word will never return back to us void but will produce results. Isaiah 55: 10,11 says, ‘For as rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and do not return there but water the earth and make it bring-forth and bud; that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.  So shall My Word be that goes forth shall not return to Me void; but it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.’

We live by the Word by walking in the Light of the Truth.  God’s Word is our standard and final authority.  God’s Word is available to use at any time for any situation.  Whatever your challenges may be, take God’s Word for it is trustworthy.  Determine to live by it; not just reading the Word, but studying it, memorizing them and meditate them.  Joshua 1:8 says, ‘this Book of the Law (The Word) shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate therein day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.  For then you will make your way prosperous and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.’

Confess : God’s Word is my life.  God’s Word is exalted in my heart, above every thought, desire and belief.  My success is unstoppable because I made God’s Word my meditation.  Amen!  Hallelujah!
