How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

One of the signs that the message comes from God is the sweetness it brings to our hearts, even if it has a purpose of reprehension. It is life and shows what we need to live according to the Scriptures, far away from the enemy’s grasp and ready to practice righteousness at all times. In the Word, we learn our rights in Christ, the commandments that make us prove that we love God and that His promises will bring us complete victory.

What the Lord says encourages us to fight and obtain what we need. His words never come to condemn us, but to warn us if we are in the wrong path, and at the same time, to bless us with strength so that we may be delivered from the enemy’s work. The Word is the Son of God Himself, because He was with God during the creation and He is God (John 1:1). It takes the place of Jesus in us, and when we listen to it, we put the divine power into action. Do this!

Everyone can understand if what they are listening to is coming from the Lord or not due to one reason: man was created in the Word, for it and by it. However, when Adam sinned, God departed from man, who was left with an empty spirit. When we listen to a message from the Father, something makes us feel good with it. Sometimes, we have the sensation that we already knew it. Accepting Jesus is accepting the Word!

There is no comparison between the Word of God and the word of any religion or person, because the Word of the Most High is pure and a shield to those who trust Him (Proverbs 30:5). You will never be in trouble if you follow it, and it will never lead you to sin. Whoever fulfills the commandments loves the Father, and is loved by Him and Jesus. God always fulfills what He says (Psalm 89:34)!

After you receive the Word of the Lord, you are enabled to be used by Him with His power. But the fact that the Word guides your life makes you ready to use the divine power. Therefore, the Bible called ‘gods’ those who used His Word in the past (Psalm 82:6; John 10:34). Therefore, never be afraid of fulfilling what it says, for the entire Word that has been sent by God brings power to operate what it announces. 

Be careful with those who falsify the Word, who are cunning and do not reject the things that are shamefully hidden. The truth is that the Most High will always honor what He said. Whomever believes in Him must live as an example of good conscience, honesty, and fear of God before all people (2 Corinthians 4:2). The Heavenly Father wants you to manifest the Truth.

The great definition of the Word of God can be read in the letter to the Hebrews: 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 (Hebrews 4:12). Those who have been born again were recreated in It. Halleluiah!

In Christ, with love,
