The Word of God SHOULD be our FIRST and FINAL authority! John 17:17 tells us that God's Word IS TRUTH! If it does NOT line up with God's Word, then it is NOT Truth, no matter how REAL it may appear! God's Word is POWERFUL to produce what He intends for it to produce! Hebrews 12 says in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan say this:
12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
AMEN! Hebrews 12 goes on to say this in verses 14-16:
14 Inasmuch then as we have
a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in
Him]. 15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to
understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with
our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the
assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we
are, yet without sinning. 16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly
draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us
sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help
in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just
when we need it].
AMEN! JESUS has left us all so very well equipped to handle anything and everything that we face! He has called us MORE than CONQUERORS (Romans 8:37)! When we come into His presence boldly to receive the help that we need, HE shows us the way through! HE knows the problem AND the solution! AMEN! Trust Him! Here is Hillsong with "Here's To The One":
Shalom in Him!
