“It is written.”
Three powerful words the Savior of the world used to defeat the enemy. Ezekial told the dry bones to “hear the word of the Lord!” Christ’s powerful word brought the dead (more than dead, rotting) Lazarus back to life. These are just a few examples in the Bible of using God’s word to overcome darkness, raise dead things to life, and breathe hope into situations.
But it’s one thing to know God’s word and something completely different to use the sword of God’s word. When we decide to stand on and profess His word in our lives, we are broadcasting our faith in the One who said it. As the Hebrew writer emphasized, “By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Hebrews 11:3
It is through God’s written word that we become familiar with the Author, learn to trust the Maker’s abilities, and stand firm on His promises even when we don’t see them coming to fruition.
Every word of God is flawless. Spotless. Perfect. Unbroken. And reliable. Join me as we take refuge in the spoken, unbroken word of God to unleash His power.
