Alive & Active
Isaiah 55:10-11
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
I want to share my personal experience. When I was in primary school my teacher in the catechism class taught us some small prayers which I didn’t know that they were from bible at that time but learned them as prayer
For Example:
- Jesus, son of David. Have Mercy on Me (Mark 10:47)
- Lord, Increase our faith (Luke 17:5)
- For nothing will be impossible with God
These were some of the prayers we learnt. I used to repeat these several times a day while going to school during recess period or lunch time
At that time I never knew that power in The word of God. But I used to sincerely follow the instruction of my teacher
Later After my marriage with two children, we were buying a property , we paid a very huge amount to the seller and on the day of registration my husband was bit tensed called a priest asking him to pray. He did not pray but gave a verse from Psalm 46:10
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD
My husband and I repeat this verse several times that day . Everything went on well & we got the documents at the earliest. After this experience I used to repeat this verse whenever I was troubled & worried. Within no time, I was made comfortable , because I believed that I have a God who is all powerful and it is his task to calm the storm and I will be still. This worked wonders in my life .
Hebrew 4:12 says
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double edged sword it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit
When we repeat and recite the word of God it will work . Deu 8:3 says Man does not live by bread alone but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord
Gen 1:3 says “Everything was created by the word of God”. And when you believe in word of God it will be a great blessing. Is 55:11 says so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Word Of God never return empty till it accomplish its purpose.
As I read Bible everyday I pick up verses from Bible and more than my personal prayer and recite it several times a day
Prayer:
Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Lord , let me treasure your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you. Amen
