Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Jeremiah 23:29 says that "God's word is like fire...."
FIRE ..........
1) Removes darkness (the word of God removes spiritual darkness)
2) It gives light and warmth (word of God is a lamp to our path and warms our Spiritual life)
3) It burns the rubbish (word of God helps us get rid of sin by revealing it to us)
4) It spreads (So does the word of God. No man or power can stop the word of God spreading to the ends of the earth)
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John the Baptist preached:
Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:"Jeremiah 20:9, ” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not."
May His Word be like fire in us and may His Word change us and make us the 'people after His own heart.'
Our Lord's looking for a generation who will be on fire!
He's looking out for people who will stand up boldly and speak up the truth of the gospel.
Carman writes in his book "Raising the Standard"(one of my all time favorites, don't miss to read this)
"..... we are blood-bought members of the most powerful army that ever walked the earth. We are filled with the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. We are to be champions."
JESUS WANTS US TO LIVE A HOLY, SANCTIFIED LIFE FOR HIM. Even as the world around gets darker and darker, He's looking for a generation that will be His light..!II Timothy 2:22 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on Jesus from a pure heart.I John 2:14 …I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Even when the enemy comes like a flood, our Lord has promised He will raise our standard against him.Isaiah 59:19b"When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him"
