The word works!

The word works!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Thessalonians 2:13
For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

The Bible is not the word of men, it's the word of the living God. It's important we give great honour and respect to God's word.

The word will work for anyone who will believe it. For the word to work, we must receive it. To receive the word simply means to agree with it and give it first and final place in your life. Our attitude should be : If the word says it, then that's it. Give yourself to the word of God where the word governs your thinking, your speech, your behaviour, your decisions and every aspect of your life. As you give honour to God's word and receive it, the word will work in you.

When you receive the word, the word goes into your spirit and begins to work in you. Just like medicine, the word starts working. Glory! The word will build you, strengthen you, empower you and create in you godly desires, changing the way you see life and live life resulting in immense prosperity and joy unspeakable, full of glory! Every time you read or hear the word, say, 'I believe the word of God and I receive it. The word is working in me and I am growing in the fullness of the stature of Jesus Christ.'
