How to Use the Word of God
How to Use the Word of God
1 Once when he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret, the crowd was pushing in on him to better hear the Word of God.
2 He noticed two boats tied up. The fishermen had just left them and were out scrubbing their nets.
3 He climbed into the boat that was Simon’s and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Sitting there, using the boat for a pulpit, he taught the crowd.
4 When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, “Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch.”
5 Simon said, “Master, we’ve been fishing hard all night and haven’t caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I’ll let out the nets.”
6 It was no sooner said than done—a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity.
7 They waved to their partners in the other boat to come help them. They filled both boats, nearly swamping them with the catch.
luke 5:1-7
without the word they couldnt catch a minnow
With the WORD they were able to fill 2 boats to capacity
5 As Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a Roman captain came up in a panic and said,
6 “Master, my servant is sick. He can’t walk. He’s in terrible pain.”
7 Jesus said, “I’ll come and heal him.”
8 “Oh, no,” said the captain. “I don’t want to put you to all that trouble. Just give the order and my servant will be fine.
9 I’m a man who takes orders and gives orders. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes; to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 Taken aback, Jesus said, “I’ve yet to come across this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know all about God and how he works.

USE THE WORD TO SPEAK - REPLACE YOUR LANGUAGE WITH GODS LANGUAGE
36 Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously.
37 Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.”

4 Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.”

17 as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
Use the word to call things into existence
5 THINGS THAT MAKE THE WORD OF GOD POWERFUL
35 Sky and earth will wear out; my words won’t wear out.
MATT 2
1 THE WORD OF GOD IS ETERNAL IT WILL NEVER WEAR OUT
1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 THE WORD of God IS GOD
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
john 6
4 THE WORD IS spirit and life
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
heb 4:12
5 WORD IS ACTIVE AND ALIVE
THOUGHTS HIGHER THAN YOUR THOUGHTS
Mat 12:
28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”
21 So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.
22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
James 1:
The Word Principle
Hear the word
Accept/Plant the word
Practice/Use the word
