Psalm 119:133 “Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.” 

The Word of God is His will for mankind.  It is written down in a book that has stood the test of time for thousands of years.  The Bible is the Lord’s personal instruction manual to His people.  It tells us what He thinks on every subject imaginable.  It chronicles the history of the human race and records our victories and defeats.  It warns us of things to come and promises us a bright and hopeful future.

If we read and comprehend the Holy Scriptures we will discover the Lord’s wisdom and revelation for every conceivable problem and perplexity that we might ever face in our lives.  If we heed His advice we will make fewer mistakes.  We will always derive meaning and purpose from His guidance and direction to us.  We will be empowered, as never before, and be able to embrace our divine destinies.

The words of almighty God are powerful beyond our mere human comprehension.  With words, He created the entire universe, and by them He will destroy all wickedness and evil off the face of the earth.  If we apply ourselves to study God’s Word, we will become all that the Lord has designed us to be.  If we say only what God says and do what He tells us to do, we will change the fate of all mankind.

Ezekiel 12:28 “Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.”

Our words that line up with God’s words have real, tangible power and authority and we must learn to be careful in how we use them.  We can never speak rashly or we could see devastating results generated.  We will have to obtain divine knowledge in the critical days that lie ahead.  We can and we will impact all of mankind with our faith-based words that correspond to God’s very own.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached to every man, woman and child in every race, tongue and nation.  No one who is receptive to its message will be denied the free gift of eternal life.  We will baptize countless numbers in Jesus’ name and gather in the full end-time harvest of souls that is necessary.  No one will perish for lack of knowledge in the Word of almighty God.

We will challenge all world governments to eliminate war, violence and conflict and establish peace and unity.  We will eradicate poverty and lack by persuading men to share with those in need.  We will decree God’s will to all of creation so that plants and animals are in harmony with one another and subject to man.  There will be no natural disasters that cause devastation and destruction.

The very words that we speak will be our weapons of warfare.  We will heal all those who are sick and afflicted in any way.  We will cast out demons that hold men in bondage to temptation and sin, and free them to the glorious liberty of the sons of God.  We will even raise the dead back to life once again.  We will overcome all evil with good through the power of our words.

Our faith must always be built on the Word of God.  The Bible is our final authority in all matters that pertain to righteousness and godliness.  It settles all disputes in our relationships with God and with one another.  Faith comes only from a thorough knowledge of the Word and will of almighty God Himself, as it is written in the Scriptures.  We should feed on God’s words until they sink deep within our spirits and come out of our mouths to change what we see manifested into reality.
 
The Word of God is powerful for revealing lies and deception.  It drives out chaos and confusion, dispels all darkness and destruction.  It creates life, peace, hope and joy in those who are exposed to it.  It destroys demonic strongholds that would oppress us in any way, and has the ability to save our souls from eternal condemnation and punishment.  God’s words will change our lives as nothing else can, so that men can be all that they were intended to be from the very creation of the world.

In the days to come, we will share our faith in the Word of God and speak all that He tells us, so that many others can be saved to eternal life.  The entire earth will be evangelized and we will see the Kingdom of God introduced to all of mankind.  Jesus Christ will soon return to us for His eternal rule and reign.  We will be appointed kings and priests of God and judge both men and angels.  The Lord will share His honor and glory with all those who have magnified His Word above all things!  
 

Jesus Christ is the Word of God made man, the only Son of almighty God Himself.  He was present with the Father from the foundation of the world, and by Him, all things were made.  He created the entire universe simply by speaking and actualizing the very thoughts and words of our sovereign God.  With powerful words spoken out of His mouth, both heaven and the earth were established. 

His words alone were His tools of creativity.  The Lord uttered only those things that would be positive and constructive to His purpose.  He did not waver in His faith, nor hesitate in His declarations.  He simply decreed what He wanted to see and it came into manifestation.  Everything that was made came into being because He vocalized it.  He designed the entire universe; nothing happened by accident.

The Lord spoke words of light and life to the dark void that existed and totally changed His environment.  His words were powerful and beneficial for generating life in all of its various forms, as we know it today.  Plants, animals, and even man himself, resulted from what the Lord spoke into reality.  He put pure love, wisdom and power into action and started a chain of events that impacted all of eternity.

Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

Man was created in the very image and likeness of God Himself.  He was a spirit being given human form, but like God in all other respects.  The Lord named him Adam, gave him a mate and placed him in a literal paradise to enjoy for all time.  However, man eventually sinned and rebelled against God.  He lost his right standing with his Creator, and forfeited his power and dominion over the entire earth.

The first man brought sin and death into the equation to spoil God’s perfect plans for us.  Because of his disobedience, the entire human race has had to suffer.  We are estranged from God and require salvation for our sin guilt.  None of us is righteous in our own strength.  All of mankind needs to be restored to its original relationship with almighty God, or face eternal condemnation and punishment.

The Lord knew all this and developed an alternate plan for our express benefit.  He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth to redeem all mankind once and for all time.  The Law required death as a penalty for sin.  It took one perfect man to act on our behalf to serve as our substitute and return righteousness, power and dominion to us, so that we could be set free to inherit all the blessings of eternal life.

2Corinthians 5:19 “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

Jesus Christ is God in all respects, yet He voluntarily chose to come to this earth in human form to save us from all of our transgression.  He did not come to condemn us, but to restore us to right standing with God for all time.  His mission was to redeem all of mankind and to teach us God’s way of doing things.  Our Lord and Savior actually took on all of our iniquity and sin debt as if it were His very own, and died a horrific death just for us, so that we do not have to suffer the penalty of death. 

It is only through a sincere faith in Christ, as the living Word of God Himself, that we can be set free from all of our sins and receive the gift of eternal life.  We must believe that Jesus came to this earth, suffered, died, was buried, and then rose again from the dead, so that we could be permanently reconciled with our God.  If we believe what the Word tells us, and speak it out of our mouths, we will be born again in our spirit man and become eligible to enter into the everlasting Kingdom of God.

There is no way that any of us can be saved without a genuine faith in what God tells us.  If we do not accept the truth and believe in Jesus Christ and all that He did for us, we will be eternally punished.  If we are ignorant of the Word of God and continually rebellious, we will be cast into the lake of fire.  There will be no second chances given to anyone.  We must know what God says and believe it with all our hearts or perish.  Our eternal fate is dependent upon our obedience to the Word at all times.

John 14:23 “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

We must give the Word of God the honor and prominence that it deserves.  It is God’s express will for all of mankind.  It reveals His explicit instructions, so that we can live our lives according to His perfect way of doing things.  The Word is a gift to us and lights our paths, so that we no longer walk in darkness and deception.  It encourages us in our faith and gives us hope and confidence for our future.

The Lord’s feelings for man are revealed in His Word.  He has a deep, abiding love for us and He desires that we be in intimate fellowship with Him.  However, He cannot abide with evil because He is all holy.  We need to totally sanctify ourselves to be in His presence.  His words show us the way to achieve true righteousness and godliness.  They will help us to enhance our relationship with our Creator.
