I believe that the Word is life; it's everything. And as we align our spirits with the Word and become that Word, that's where authority, anointing, blessing, favor, everything of God is there. And so we line ourselves up to that. And we refuse, in a sense to come down here, and battle, sickness, circumstances, all this other stuff. That is a complete distraction, for those who walk by the Spirit. I was reading something this morning in Romans eight, there's an obligation upon us to walk by the Spirit. To me, what that means is, there's an obligation to me to be continually in His Word. And it's not out of religion or anything like that is a revelation that the Word is living, it's the lifeblood. It's a commitment in your heart by revelation. This is my life. And it's this deep core thing, that the Word is everything. It is life.
Ken
The reality of the Word is when it's living. And a dead letter is as good as a lie. There's a lot of people speaking the word, but is it alive? Is it a living Word?
Roger
But what is the Word? Because everyone really thinks they hearing the Word. Everybody lays claim to that. So what it comes down to is what is God speaking to us now? That's the Word that matters. Are we hearing what He's speaking right now to us individually and as a body? That's the Word that must be heard. Because when we say that, I can say when we say the Word, that mean does mean different things to as many different people who hear it. So it comes down like what Ron, you were saying, we must be led of the Spirit, by the Holy Spirit, to hear what is God speaking to us right now? What is the Word as is being manifested among us now? That becomes the big test, if you will. Jesus says My Word will judge. So when the Word begins to come, it becomes an issue of those who hear it, and those who don't. But God has spoken a living Word, but who was heard it? Well, God is speaking to us now. are we hearing it? And that becomes the plumb line, I guess you could say; the separating factor. Are we hearing now? What Word are we hearing? Not just the Word, but what is God speaking to us now?
Ron
Are you hearing a Living Word? To me what that means is when you hear a Word is Christ's being revealed to your heart? That's to me is what a living Word is. Christ is being revealed to my heart. Because if it's not, it's just a doctrine. It's a dead word. I can agree with it mentally. That's a that's a truth. When God speaks, He doesn't speak as humans speak. He's not speaking my intellect. He's Spirit and Spirit speaks to spirit. So when He speaks to me, He's creating something. It's not up for my mind for debate. When you speak a living Word, you're not speaking for people to say, Well, that was good, that was bad. Not if you're aware of who you are. You're a channel and your Christ is speaking through you. And as He does, He's creating. The recipients of that, they can receive that impartation that change. It's a change.
Dale
See the battle, hath God said. The way that battle doesn't even exist, is if you know what God said. God speaks a Word. Well, what did He say? He's brought a Word to my heart, Well, what did you get? I think there's a level of maturity. And that's how you know, it's a Word from God. There's something here that wasn't there this morning. Wasn't there yesterday. If you're in battle you made one mistake and getting into battle. Back up and find out? Is this the leading of the Holy Spirit? Or is this Satan coming against me? If it's a leading of the Holy Spirit, you, give yourself to it. Because we're His workmanship. If it's not the Holy Spirit, and you're coming into battle, back up, did you choose the right thing? Lord, I'm going to follow you. I am giving you myself. And like Roger says, you are right now God, speak to me. Lead me, I'll follow you.
Ron
If you have a set of heart, and the determination and understanding what the Word of God is to you, it just keeps bringing you right back to His perfect will. It keeps bringing you right back and in line with the Holy Spirit. You go through your day, good day, bad day, make mistakes, don't make mistakes. That's not the important thing. The important thing is you're clinging to the Word.
Dale
Man was defeated when he gave up the Word. But God brought restoration by our Lord Jesus Christ believing The key to making the Word alive, is believe it.
Ken
You cannot leave the Spirit out of the Word. The Word becomes reality because of the revelation by Spirit to your heart. And if you don't have that, all the words in the world about God and teachings about God mean nothing to you.
Jim
When you get a Word, and you know, it's a Word, it's your Word. It's just such a precious thing.
Ron
There's a drive, not to have new revelation that tickles our ears. There's a drive to become; by that Word. The Living Word doesn't become old, it's Christ!
