Hebrews 4:11-13
The word is sharper than any two edged sword.
Have you ever been speaking to an individual about this topic or that? A scripture comes to mind but you don’t speak it. You bury it instead because you don’t want to sound like “one of THOSE people.”
What we have done in the above situation is taken the power the Father uses to change lives and muffled it. Let me quote from John 1:1. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. When we speak the word in any situation we are bringing the living God, the great I am, our Father into the conversation. We don’t have to quote scripture and verse. But when words of scripture come to mind in a conversation don’t let fear of man control you. Speak the words. Don’t make a big deal out of it. Don’t make it a big production. Our Father will take care of that in their heart. Our only role in a conversational situation is to speak the word in the situation that Father has placed us in. All we have to do is speak his word and the lives of those who hear it will be touched. Those around us will have healing offered to them by the one who created them. The spirit of God himself abides in his word. When his word is spoken the power that goes out is so powerful that countries fear it. If we have so much power available to us why then do we fear to speak it.
Perfect love cast out all fear.
Go in peace
Michael
