Unlocking The Power and Potential of His Word

Day One: The Power of His Word

His Word to His Children
“I want my children to know and love my Word, to love it, love devouring it, to
love learning it and living it. Faith comes by hearing, or by hearing and
understanding my Word. I want you my son—and those who hear you—to be
Bible learning and living junkies; who so love searching for and receiving the
treasure in my Word—treasure that changes everything—that they’re willing to
put all other distractions aside. For those who do this, I will not only open my
Word further to them, but I will bless them and elevate them and make them
leaders in the Kingdom Movement that’s about to change everything on this
planet.

Every seed needed for the transformation of everything is in my Word, and

each seed carries the vision and blueprint for that change, and power needed
to produce the change! Son, it’s like me handing you, a perfect business idea,
the business plan to make it happen, along with all the funding, favor,
provision and blessing needed to make it wildly successful. My children need
to stop seeing my Word as just a religion or Faith thing; it’s meant to shape
everything I envisioned for you and the planet. If my children see it as the
foundation, and blueprint for everything, that contains the power and blessing
to bring that blueprint into reality, maybe, they’ll stop giving it a small amount
of their time—the time they relegate to their Faith—because they’re too busy
taking care of all the other parts of their lives. No, my Word is the KEY to
everything in this life, and that everything, is all beyond your imagining! I’m
looking for those who will lead the way!”

In order to transform you and to be a leader in expanding the Kingdom (a

planet transformer) you need to love, pursue, learn and live His Word!

2 Timothy 3:14-17 (ESV)

14 But as for you, continue (abide, John 15:7) in what you have learned
and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how
from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are
able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All
Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof (proof,
evidence), for correction (restoring to an upright state), and for training in
righteousness, 17 (YLT) ...that the man of God may be fitted (perfectly
furnished, Hebrews 13:21)--for every good work having been completed.

The word translated “continue” is the word translated “abide” in John 15:7:

John 15:7 (ESV)

7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and
it will be done for you.

Acts 17:11 (ESV)

11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they
received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see
if these things were so.

Examining: to scrutinize, i.e. (by implication) investigate, interrogate,

determine: — ask, question, discern, examine, judge, search

Love His Word, Learn His Word, Meditate on and speak His Word

James 1:21-25 (HCSB)

21 Therefore, ridding yourselves of (put off) all moral filth and evil, humbly
receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.
22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23
Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man
looking at his own face in a mirror (2 Corinthians 3:18). 24 For he looks at
himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25
But the one who looks intently (def.) into the perfect law of freedom
(James 2:12) and perseveres (def.) in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but one
who does good works — this person will be blessed in what he does.

James 2:12 (ESV)

12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of
liberty.

the One He sent. 39 You PORE OVER (search, investigate, examine) the

about Me. 40 And you are not willing to come to Me so THAT YOU MAY
HAVE LIFE.

The Word and the Teacher in us, transforming us!

the hope of glory.
