“ The Importance of the Word of God in the Believer’s life “

Note: We can go to churches that have beautiful sanctuaries , awesome choirs, the Preacher got the catchy phrases, they prophesy on your life but NO WORD, NO HEALTHY DOCTRINE.
Note: The Word of God is the believer’s SOURCE of life
Job 23:12 (KJV 1900)
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Matthew 4:4 (KJV 1900)
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Note: You see we will pray and don’t have no problem praying but we want STUDY God’s WORD.
Because studying God’s word is how God operates on us.
It’s thru God’s word that He REALLY gets to speak back to us
Note: But also the word of God should have the FIRST & FINAL authority in our LIFE.
Note: Now remember, the TRUTH is always rejected because the Devil don’t like TRUTH.
John 8:42–46 MSG
““If God were your father,” said Jesus, “you would love me, for I came from God and arrived here. I didn’t come on my own. He sent me. Why can’t you understand one word I say? Here’s why: You can’t handle it. You’re from your father, the Devil, and all you want to do is please him. He was a killer from the very start. He couldn’t stand the truth because there wasn’t a shred of truth in him. When the Liar speaks, he makes it up out of his lying nature and fills the world with lies. I arrive on the scene, tell you the plain truth, and you refuse to have a thing to do with me. Can any one of you convict me of a single misleading word, a single sinful act? But if I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Anyone on God’s side listens to God’s words. This is why you’re not listening—because you’re not on God’s side.””
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭42‬-‭47‬ ‭MSG‬‬
Note: To REJECT God’s word is to REJECT God and not the messenger
Isaiah 59:21 (NIV)
21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.
1 Samuel 8:7 (KJV 1900)
7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
[ The Word Of God To The Believer’s Life ]
The word of God is like : RAIN, SNOW, WATER, NOURISHMENT, MILK, MEAT, FIRE, MIRROR, LAMP, HAMMER & SWORD
Note: So when you are praying you should ask God to let all of this attributes of the word be in your life.
Isaiah 55:10–11 (KJV 1900)
10 For as the rain cometh down, And the snow from heaven, And returneth not thither, But watereth the earth, And maketh it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: It shall not return unto me void, But it shall accomplish that which I please, And it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Ephesians 5:25–26 (KJV 1900)
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Psalm 119:9 (KJV 1900)
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.
Jeremiah 23:29 (KJV 1900)
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Jeremiah 20:7–9 (KJV 1900)
7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: Thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, Every one mocketh me. 8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; Because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, And a derision, daily. 9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, Nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
1 Peter 1:23–25 (KJV 1900)
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
1 Peter 2:2 (KJV 1900)
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Note: We should GROW in the word but not grow FROM the word. That’s why Peter says “ as NEWBORN babes “ the more the baby grows he/she grows away from the milk so Peter says stay in the word like a NEWBORN BABE.
1 Corinthians 3:2 (KJV 1900)
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
Psalm 119:105 (KJV 1900)
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.
Ephesians 6:17 (KJV 1900)
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV 1900)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
