God's Word Will Change you!


I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart (Psalm 40:8)

     

The Bible is filled with creative power. It has the power to change your desires, to move you to change your behavior and life focus. David went from being an adulterous murderer to a person who delighted in God and in doing His will. What made the drastic change? The Word!

    

The Bible contains in it the very power of God! Jesus said the words that I speak are spirit and life. Paul was preaching in Ephesus and a revival broke out. People were saved and Spirit-Filled. Many were set free from occult practices, burning their witchcraft wares. Paul remained there in Ephesus a good while and noticed what caused the great change in the city: So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed (Acts 19:20). The Word affected change in a whole city!

     

The Word dwelling in you can change any area of your life from being flesh dominated to being spirit controlled! The catalyst is you and your will. Time spent ingesting the word will produce dividends of great change in your life and lifestyle. You could begin your own personal revival just by becoming involved with the Word! Draw near to God and He will draw near to you!


Back in the mid 1970’s I submitted my life to Jesus, and began a practice of reading and meditating in the Word of God every single day. I found myself being challenged to change in so many ways. This Word of God will work its way into your life if you let it. 


The Word became a change agent in me when I got serious with it. My thoughts began to change. What I allowed my mind to dwell on began to change. My emotions had less control over my actions and words. What I wanted to do with my spare time began to change. The people I wanted to associate with began to change. What I thought about myself began to change. Physical habits began to change. Attitudes began to change. Now, all these years later, I am simply not the same person. The Word brings life change!

     

Notice the change the Word will bring as noted by these verses: How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word (Psalm 119:9).Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You (Psalm 119:11).The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide (Psalm 37:31). Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth (John 17:17). That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word (Ephesians 5:26). And we also especially thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of mere men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe, exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it (1 Thessalonians 2:13-Amplified).

 

Nothing has the power to change you like the Word of God. The enemy knows this and seeks to keep you occupied with other things so the Word is choked and doesn’t bear fruit. Outsmart him today! Get in the Word when you first awaken, then meditate on it throughout the day when you have idle mental time. You’ll find the superhuman power of the Word of God creating in you strength, ability, wisdom, love, and godliness. Loose the power of God in your life today by being a person of the Word!
