"The Word is Alive.....

.......and it cuts like a Sword through the Darkness!"

(My title and the above is a line from the song 'The Word is Alive' by Casting Crowns...)


A Beautiful Song!

And such truth in that line alone!

Words have such power, whether we are Christians or Non-Believers, words have power, but the 'The Word' as in 'The Word of God' is the most powerful tool ever written...

And if taken in, and we educated ourselves in the Word , we are prepared for any situation that may come our way or that the Father delivers us into...

It is a guide to live by, history, a rock to lean on, and a testament of the Father's love for us......

There are so many components that the Father wants us to know, he wants us to put on our armor everyday, he wants us to Praise him, he wants us to fellowship with others, he wants us to show his glory, and he wants us to be able to share the word to all, whether it be to believers or non-believers, he wants us to spread the Gospel!

Scripture even says that a mere whisper of the name Jesus makes the power of darkness tremble...

We need to 'arm' ourselves, equip ourselves with the word, and always be prepared...

Words have power in themselves, what we say about each other, or about events etc have power we are meant to uphold people, bless them, not curse them or speak death into their lives....

And so if we are armed with the right words we will be prepared, whether to share our faith with others, praying, or embarking on Spiritual Warefare as I have found myself doing lately......

The way I see it is like this, we can have our armor all on etc, but if we lack the knowledge of the Word how can we ever be prepared to go into 'battle'? In battle it is not all about the physical side of things, but mentally we have to be there....

I always thought 'oh well I sort of know about the bible, I really don't need to read it much, I am still a Christian so ya...'

I was wrong and foolish, I still needed that nourishment and knowledge for my soul, and my brain LOL!

"With A Message Of Life To The Hopeless And Afraid
Breathing Life Into All Who Believe..."

(another line in the song)

The Word is Life, Jesus is the living Word, and he did breathe life into us, and the way I see it we need to keep nourishing ourselves with that word, and to keep on breathing...
