Living Words – Food from God
Are we confused – How can words be Food….??
Let us get into the depth of the same to understand how words are
- Eternal Truth,
- Strong Mountain and
- Powerful refuge
Luke21:33 says Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away
Words are living and are not just words, comments, sentences, paragraphs of a Holy Book – Bible
Word was not written in the current form of verses, chapters and books (66 in bible)
But most parts of them were written as a Letter, Events narrated by disciples and prophets but still guided by Holy Spirit.
When Living words are guided by The Holy Spirit – we need to understand that the depth of such powerful
- Commands,
- Instructions,
- Guidance,
- Learning,
- Promises,
- Teachings and
- Blessings for Eternal Life
Commands :There were 10 commandments given in the Old Testament as Law_ Which Pharisees and Sadducees followed with complete discipline_
Law gave us the understanding of sin_
New Testament : No more sacrifices or burnt offerings as Holy Blood on the cross has cleansed us and given us Eternal life_
Instructions to lead a Christ Life Parables in the New Testament are full of those instructions once meditated and understood in detail_
Parables were narrated by Jesus in real life situations of those times to make them easier to understand and always added – Let them hear who can_
Guidance :Life of people in Old Testament from Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Esther, Ruth, Saul, David, Solomon, Nehemiah, and Prophets helps us understand how to lead a good life full of challenges in life_
There is lot of guidance when we study and understand what all they went through recorded honestly in details in the old testament_
Learning : Healings and Miracles in New Testament gives us good understanding .There is learning in every miracle and healing. Women with 12 years of Blood oozing out was healed by Faith and even Jesus told her – Daughter – your faith has healed you_
John5:1-9 – Man near Pool at Bethesda got cured as he was there for 38 years_ Jesus was not even his age but knew that he needs healing as he was watching him from heaven_ Later when Jesus told him in John5:14 – Sin no more – we understand that due to his sin he was at pool for 38 years and God can heal a sinner however long he is a sinner_
In John2 Learning is that when we do what God asks us to do obediently – HE can turn water to wine and that too
Unique best quality wine– However dirty water and down we are in life – When we are obedient to His words- HE is able to turn our life to Best and prosperous ONLY for His glory and Praise_
Promises :No limit – Huge number of promises in the complete Bible – What do we do…..???? – Do we believe them as take them as Amen, Hallelujah or Sigh as ok_?
Teachings : Jesus taught his disciples that by Faith they can walk on water, calm the storm, feed 5000 and 4000 people; and even pay taxes from Fish caught_
Blessings :Obedience and Faith with Hope on the unseen can result in blessings already planned by the Almighty_
When we seek spiritual blessings and grow in the Lord – Material blessings follow them as HE can check what is in our hearts_ God cannot be mocked_
So as we have understood what all Living words can do_ Let us understand if Words are Food from the God_????
Even John1:1 says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God_
If word was and is GOD – How can we eat this as Food….?
We look at Old Testament in the Holy Book – Bible which is Basic instructions before leaving Earth_
Jeremiah15:16 says When your words came, i ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.
So we can eat the word but it should be treated as Bread of Life as per
John6:47-51 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Matthews4:4 says Jesus answered, “It is written: „Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God
So Living Words is the Food from God for our daily consumption to nourish our Souls and should always be our first priority and preference in our daily Life. God bless you all with His living words every day_ Hallelujah
