The Word Our Food

The Word is Food to Us, Lets Dig In…

The word of God is food to our born again Spirit!

The word of God is life to us as sons and daughters of God!

How long have you gone without food? It is not a pleasant experience especially if this is not intentional. You would be absolutely famished with no strength to just get through the day and I can assure you, no reserve to face any challenges that would come your way.

The branch of a tree carries in itself the same life that the stem carries. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. We carry the same life in our Spirits that He carries. This life is in his word. When we cut ourselves off the word, when we stop reading it, hearing it, speaking it, we are effectively cutting ourselves off and we get withered and cannot bear fruit!.

I have been speaking to Father God, I have said to Him, daddy I want to be fruitful for you. I want to walk in the realities of the promise.  Scripture says these signs will follow them that believe, that in the name of Jesus we will cast out devils, we will lay our hands on the sick and they will be healed, we will cleanse the lepers and we will raise the dead….(permit me to scream her,e Aaaaaargh!….the word excites me) okay I’ll carry on. We cannot experience this if we are not filled with the word. We would be malnourished and unproductive. It is the spirit man, the spirit man who is alive to God that will do greater works. This is is why we cannot starve him.

 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Colossians 3:16

These scriptures stirr me so much. Hmmm Daddy  I want to see this daily, I want to see this Lord. I want to see people healed, I want to see people saved. I must stay on the word.

I am exposed to seeing the effects of sickness and disease as a medical doctor, it looks like a hopeless situation for so many people, people I do not know and people close to me, but I know there is hope in Christ. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus bore once and for all our sickness and removed our diseases and all we have to do is receive these Matthew 8:17 and Mark 11:24. People are still being healed today, all manner of sickness and diseases are being healed, because sons of God have chosen to believe God.  What about you and I? There are people in our network who are dependent on us taking authority and declaring the counsel of God over their lives. We are the Jesus they will ever see. Lord this is my hearts cry.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

John 14:12

Father God has made it clear to me, to be able to bear fruit, to be able to do greater works , to be able to do what the word says we can do, WE NEED TO FEED ON THE WORD.

Our Spirit man needs the word like food to the body. When we continue in His word diligently, then we will know the truth. Revelation and illumination comes to us and faith will be built to do the works.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

John 8:31

The word of God is life!. The word of God is alive!. The born again spirit man was born by the word, by the incorruptible seed of God’s word. So it makes perfect sense that we can only grow, and live by the word. It is our life. It carries in it the life of God. We are nothing without the word of God.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1Peter 1:23

20. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Proverbs 4:20-22

Muscles do not grow overnight. Let us not wait for adversity to start searching out God’s word. It is the word on healing, prosperity, peace etc. that we have fed on overtime that we will believe, thereby generating the faith required to prevail.

Daddy, I have committed to paying attention to the word, help me and my readers to stay focused on your word, that we may live. Help us to feed our Spirit man and not starve him, so we can be fruitful as the sons and daughters of God we are.

Beloved, Now are we the sons of God.

1John 3:2
