Living It Up
Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is
quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to
the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (13) Neither is
there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are
naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (KJV)
Thayer’s definition for ‘quick’:
2198
zao-
1) to live, to breathe, to be among the
living (not lifeless, not dead)
2) to enjoy real life:
a) to have true
life that is worthy of the name
b) to be active, blessed,
and endless in the kingdom of God
3) to live, that is, to pass life, in the
manner of the living and acting of mortals or character
4) living water, having vital power in
itself and exerting the same upon the soul
5) metaphorically, to be in full vigor
a) to be fresh,
strong, efficient,
b) as adjective:
active, powerful, efficacious
Strong’s definition for ‘powerful’:
1756 energes (en-er-gace'); from 1722 and
2041; active, operative: KJV-- effectual, powerful.
Now stop for a moment and ask yourself
this question, if the word of God is living and powerful, then what does
that make the people who believe and have His Word working within
them? Ahhh, yes, no wonder the enemy
does all he can to get you distracted from spending time in the Word daily,
and entering into the Lord’s rest or realm and ceasing from your works.
This same Word that created the heavens and the earth, the whole universe
in fact is alive and real and available to all that have ears and take the
time to hear this life giving life changing Word of God which is quite
effective to say the least.
Luke 7:12-15 Now when he came nigh to the
gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of
his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
(13) And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto
her, Weep not. (14) And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare
him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. (15) And
he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his
mother. (KJV)
This same living, powerful Word that
brought life to the dead during our Lord’s time here on earth, yeah, it is
there for the taking, ready to bring life to any situation you speak to
with words that are Spirit and are life. It’s up to you Church, to keep
yourself renewed in this life giving Word so that you can allow this
powerful, effective, and yes living Word to work on your behalf this day.
God bless and hold fast that profession of faith without wavering.
