Why Declare God's Word?


Although the Bible was written many years ago it is still relevant and powerful for us today. The Bible is the Word of God. It is God breathed and God inspired and was written over many years by many different people under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for the benefit of God’s children.  

The following scriptures demonstrate how important the Bible is to us.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timmothy 3:16 –17)

The Word of God is living and powerful, sharper than a two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  (Hebrews 4:12)

The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. (Ephesians 6:18)

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17)

This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it 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 will have good success. (Joshua 1:8)
Your Word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against you. (Palms 119:11)

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. (John 15:7)

Receive the word with all readiness and search the scriptures daily. (adapted from Acts 17:11)

The grass withers and the flowers fade but the Word of God stands forever. (Isaiah 40:8)

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. (Deuteronomy 11:18)  Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.  (Deuteronomy 12:28)

The Battle Zone

  This is a sermon that I preached.. We have all heard sayings such as “Life wasn’t meant to be a bed of roses” or “life ain’t easy”. Well, they are true. Life isn’t easy; it is filled with many challenges. (This may shock you, but God says life is meant to be that way) Sometimes as Christians we think that when we get saved and give our lives over to Jesus that life will change and that we will no longer have challenges.   WRONG! It is quite the opposite actually.   (John 16:33 tells us that in the World we will have tribulation.) When we become born again, we change teams – we move from the devil’s team (the defeated side) and into God’s team (where we are guaranteed victory, but not with a fight.) The problem is (not really a problem at all when you know the truth) when we change teams the devil no longer sees us as ‘safe’ or a non-threat.   When we dedicate our lives to Christ, we become his enemy and he sets out to do everything that he can to disarm, di...

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.  Matthew 7:1-5 We’ve all heard the saying don’t judge a book by its cover but what does that really mean?   In a simple way it means that we shouldn’t judge something by the way it looks or seems to be.   It is only natural as human beings to make judgements about things.   We constantly make assumptions about things from what we see, hear and experience.   But what about when we make judgements without looking deeper than surface appearances?   W...

The Greatest Miracle of All

 When Jesus was about to go to the Father, He spoke to His disciples in John 14:23.  He said Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works I do he will also do: and greater works he will do, because I go to the Father. As individuals, we can't really do more than Jesus did as He had the Spirit without measure, we are not more powerful than Jesus. But, as the body of Christ, we have the opportunity reach and help more people than Jesus and His disciples were able to during their time on earth.  Jesus performed many miracles during His three years of ministry. more than could be counted. Many people remember his miracles, but we do not always stop and think about the importance of His teachings.  Jesus came to bring us life, life more abundantly. He came so that we might come to know the Father, that though Him, we might have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Jesus came to reveal God to us.  Most importantly of all He came to bring us salvatio...

God Gives Us Knowledge Wisdom and Revelation

I'm not really a fan of scripted prayers. They can become monotonous and ineffective if we are not careful.  This prayer, is more like personalized scripture.  I have taken scriptures straight from the Bible and written them in first person so that you can use them in prayer.  Read them in your Bible, meditate on them and ask God to give you a personal revelation of His Word.  I pray that as you read your Bible, that the Word will come alive to you and you will gain a deeper understanding of what God wants to teach you. Dear God, I come to You in faith, believing that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than I could ever think or ask. I pray that I may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that I may walk worthy of You my Lord, fully pleasing You , being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You; strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power,...
