Not Just By The Book!!
The word in your head Is the word that you Know, but the word In your heart is the word you live by.
The man that God chooses to ordain and utilize must be totally filled with the word of God.
You are not filled with the Word of God since you have read the entire Bible. You can even take in the entire book of scriptures by heart and still not be filled with the word of God.
God has picked you to be His abode, if you are eager. The God who created the universe isn't awed with our structures and holy places.
"This is what the Lord says:
“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word
Isaiah 66:1 – 2
The Lord is searching for a man who is modest before Him and who considers His assertion important, even to the point of obedience. God and His love will live within this individual.
You were created for love. You are made in the picture of the God of love. Your purpose is to give love and get love. God made you in His picture with the goal that you could encounter His love. God wants to have the most close association with you conceivable. That is, you in God and God in you, joined in love. This is the reason Jesus came to earth so He could reestablish our definitive purpose of a blessed association with God
Because you know the Word doesn't imply that you are filled with the Word, to know the word and be filled with the word are two different things.
If you are filled with the Word, at that point you will live by it. There is a difference between the Word that is in your mind and the Word that is in your heart.
Every one of you who need to be people of God, let me disclose to you something: the manner in which you live in the word and how the word is dynamic in your life, decides how far you'll go in the otherworldly world, how high you will climb and the amount you will gravitate toward to God.
Ephesians 3:16-19
pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
God wants to fill us with the fullness of Himself. In the entry above we see the procedure of how Christ goes into us. First we should get control through the Holy Spirit to be able to get Christ into our heart. This is God's grace whereby He takes the necessary steps in you. Second is the passageway of Christ into your heart by faith. We generally get from God by grace through faith. Grace is God's part and faith is our part. The Holy Spirit in you is evidence of God's affection for you. By this we realize that we dwell in Him, and He in us, since He has given us of His Spirit.
1 John 4:13
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
Despite my inclination and situation,i urge myself to read the Word and to go further in it, notwithstanding when I don't have a craving for doing as such I influence myself to do it.
You need to constrain your bones to get established in the word of God; not simply to read it, but rather as you read to get divine revelation through the Holy soul.
Prayers without the learning of the word of God isn't finished. It resembles having water for soup without other ingredients, if you have water for soup it won't be delicious.
It's a similar way if you have a considerable measure of the Word without prayer,it resembles a dry cabbage plate of mixed greens with no dressing.
It's vital to realize that without the Word of God you can't have the intensity of God.
For I am not embarrassed about the gospel of Christ, for it is the intensity of God to salvation for everybody who believes,for the Jew first and furthermore for the greek. For in it the nobility of God is uncovered from faith to faith;as it is said in the scripture
Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
