The Word of God is the Source of Your Power

We all need power in order to live well in the world. There is no one who can survive without some level of power. There are many kinds of power:
• scientific power
• political power
• spiritual power
Of all types of power, the most important power is spiritual power. This is because whatever we see in the physical exists first and foremost in the spiritual realm. The science of today is trying hard to make us disbelieve this fact but it remains unchangeable.
To be able to succeed in this physical world, you should have a spiritual backing. That means you must seek spiritual power. If you rely on the physical, you will fail. The bible tells us that the arm of flesh will fail. You must seek spiritual power.
Sources of spiritual power
There are two sources of spiritual power. The source where you seek the power determines which power you get. If you seek power from the devil, you will get devilish power. Many people are after such a power.
They go to various places for it.
• Occult masters including what I call the Christian occult: lodges, and secret societies
• Fetishes and shrines
• Oracles and seers
When you visit these places for power you will get negative power. You will have to sacrifice your soul for such power. Because this type of power promises quick results, most people including Christians visit such places.
People kill others including their own children for this kind of power that does not last. This kind of power will leave you on the way.
The word of God, the true source of power
There are two basic forms of the word of God: as “Logos”, the word of God is that everlasting and eternal power from which all other things were made. The Logos is the word of God full of power. But this power, although mighty, is very passive. In the Logos is the full potential of Gods power. The Logos is God Himself.
The word of God as “Rhema” is the spoken word that makes the power in the Logos to become active and explosive as described in Heb 4:12. The Rhema is the manifestation of the word of God in a creative form. For us this is where we put the word into action.
The logos is the true source of power, the rhema manifests this power.
That is why the bible says in Deut 30:14, and Romans 10: 18 that the word is in your mouth. The true source of power is in your mouth as the logos. You must put it into action to see its power. Speak the word.
The work of the Word of God
The word breaks. Jeremiah 23:29 says the word of God is like fire and a hammer. It will break open all doors, breakdown all strongholds. But you must speak it to the situation. There is no situation that defies the word of God, unless you are praying against the will of God.
The word is like a fire. Nothing can resist it. It consumes. That is why no weapon fashioned against you will stand, so long as you have the word of God in you.
It is only by the word that you can defeat the devil. The Word of God silences the devil. The authority of God goes out with the Word of God. In the wilderness, during the temptation, the devil was silenced by the word of God.
Action
Get the word into your system. Don’t let it depart from you. Wherever you find yourself, the word must be near you.
Speak the word to the situation that confronts you. Don’t mind which versus you don’t know. Even if it is only one verse you know, that verse is enough to change your situation.
