Daily Bread – February 4, 2022 (The Sixth Day – Genesis 1:24-31) 1 Thessalonians 2:13 – Because of this also, we give thanks to God continually that when you received the Word you heard from us, you received it not as the word of men; but as it is in truth, the Word of God – which also works mightily in you that believe. Part 1 ~ God Has Revealed His Will Through His Word Everything we know about the will of God and the authority He has given us is revealed through His Word – which was delivered to us as the Bible. If we fail to believe the Word of God, we are left powerless and faithless. God has given us the authority of His Word to speak; and then from that word of faith to have signs, wonders, and miracles take place. Some people choose only to believe parts of the Word of God, but if we will believe everything God has said in His Word, all He has promised will be ours! The seed of God’s Word has been planted in us, and will bring forth its fruit if there is an obedient and yielded heart to what God has said. So many people fail to yield. Instead, they stand around all of their lives questioning rather than acting. When the Word of God comes into our lives, it produces the miracle of salvation transforming our lives. The miracle of God’s Word produces a new heart and a new spirit and makes us one with God. Can there be any greater miracle than a transformed life? Can there be any greater faith than to believe we should be raised from the dead to life eternal? Why then would we fail to believe for those things necessary for preaching the Gospel and representing the power of Christ Jesus right now? If you will believe, then the same miracle-working power of God’s Word will be in your heart and in your mouth to declare those things which God has commanded – and demons will have to flee. When the Word of God is spoken with the authority He has given, the crippled will walk, the blind will see, and the dead will be raised to life again. God’s Word is working mightily in you, just step out and start doing that which seems impossible. God’s Word is so verifiable that we can risk everything believing it, for all the authority of God is contained within it. It can never pass away, it is spirit and life, it is powerful and living – now start to speak. We may have to confront many things that would oppose the Word of God; but if we stand, we will surely see its works! Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
