Daily Bread – February 5, 2022 (The Seventh Day – Genesis 2:1-3) 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 2 ~ The Word Of Authority The Word of God produces within us the ‘erga tou Theo’ (the works of God). The Word of God produces more than just the works a natural man can do; it produces the mighty works that only the power of God can bring to pass (Acts 6:8; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 1 Corinthians 2:4,9-19,14). If we think as mere men, then we will never step beyond the boundaries and limits of a natural world and the confines of what we as men can do (1 Corinthians 3:3; Luke 24:45; Mark 8:17-21). The Word of God will not be of any profit to us for the healing of our bodies if we fail to agree with it, and then allow faith to work through it (Hebrews 4:2; Romans 10:17). It will never be the word of authority in our mouths commanding demons to go and deliverance to come (Luke 4:30-36; Mark 1:25-27). Mountains will not be moved, storms will not be calmed, and the dead will not be raised to life again. The fruits of “whatsoever we ask” will never be witnessed through our lives, and the will of God will not be accomplished (John 15:16; Matthew 21:22; 1 John 3:22). Joshua spoke with the word of authority – and the sun and moon stood still. Jesus spoke and the wind and the waves obeyed. Paul spoke and commanded the crippled man to walk, and he stood upright on his feet. We have believed, and we also speak – for Christ Jesus has given us His word of authority to do His works (2 Corinthians 4:13). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
