Jesus, The Word of God
I have been instructed by the Lord to spend some more time, possibly the rest of the week, talking about our words, our confession in our lives.
In John 1:1-4 we read these words:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life and the life was the light of men.
Then in Revelation 19:11-16 we read these words:
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: AND HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD.
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Psalm 107:20 tells us that He (The Father) sent His Word (Jesus) and healed us and delivered us from our destructions.
So we can see from these three passages of scripture that Jesus is called the Word of God. God sent Him to this earth to deliver us from destruction. What destruction is He talking about? It is the destruction that satan has brought. Remember that John 10:10 tells us that the thief (satan) comes to steal, kill and destroy. He is the author of destruction in our lives. What is trying to destroy you today? The author is satan. You need the author of life, Jesus, the Word, to bring liberty, deliverance, life, wholeness to you. In order to do that, you turn to Him, the living Word, and learn of Him through His written word that He has given us to read, study, confess and learn of His ways, so that we can walk as He wants us to walk. It is a walk of victory 24-7 when we renew our minds to His Word.
Do you see now why it is so important to dwell in this written word, to confess this written word? It is God’s thoughts, His way of doing things, written down on paper for us to follow. In a sense, it is Jesus written down on paper so that all of us can see how to live.
Every day we must spend time with Him and His written Word so that He becomes so one with us that we walk in healing and prosperity in the midst of anything that satan tries to throw our way. Then when we go about our daily business and are no longer in our devotion time, it is also important that we ponder on, meditate, think on Him and His Word, not on the problems and junk that is attempting to rob from us. It is all about what we think and what we say. Even doctors and scientists are proving that today with their so-called scientific experiments. I could have saved them a lot of time and money by telling them to go to the Bible. It already tells us that. We are today what we thought and spoke yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.
You may be saying to me right now: But, Kialeen, I have been doing it the wrong way for so long. Is there any hope for me? Absolutely. I wasn’t saved until I was 32 and then I really didn’t learn how to walk in faith until I was in my 40’s. And as far as I am concerned, 20-some years later, I am still just touching the tip of what God has to reveal to me. I had a lot to undo of doubt and unbelief and wrong thinking and talking. I did it. So can you. Take one scripture today and purpose to think on it the rest of the day. Practice until it becomes a part of you.
