IT IS WRITTEN….

Kenute P. Curry

The Word of God. Beloved, there is nothing like it to spiritually grow you up, and set you on a path that Jesus had all along intended for you to walk.

Matthew 4:4

1. WE SHOULD COME BOLDLY WITH CONFIDENCE BEFORE THE FATHER, THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS, INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD (Ephesians 2:18; Hebrews 10:19).

2. GOD WILL STRENGTHEN OUR HEARTS AND LISTEN CAREFULLY (Psalm 10:17). BEFORE WE CALL, GOD WILL ANSWER. WHILE WE ARE STILL SPEAKING, HE WILL HEAR (Isaiah 65:24).

3. WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO PRAY AT ALL TIMES IN THE SPIRIT; WITH ALL PRAYER AND EVERY REQUEST; IN ALL PERSEVERANCE AND INTERCESSION (Ephesians 6:18).

4. THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER, OF A RIGHTEOUS PERSON, IS VERY POWERFUL IN ITS EFFECT (James 5:16).

5. JOHN WROTE HIS GOSPEL SO THAT WE MAY BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF GOD (John 20:31). THE WORD OF GOD SPIRITUALLY GROWS US UP (Acts 20:32). ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED BY GOD, PROFITABLE FOR TEACHING, FOR REBUKING, CORRECTIONG, AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 Timothy 3:15-17).

Deuteronomy 8:3; 1 Chronicles 28:8; Psalm 119:140; Isaiah 34:16; Malachi 2:7; John 5:46; 10:35; Acts 24:14

6. GOD WILL BLESS THE ONE WHO LOOKS INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF FREEDOM, PERSEVERES IN IT, IS NOT A FORGETFUL HEARER, AND ONE WHO DOES GOOD WORKS (James 1:25).

7. NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE COMES FROM ONE’S OWN INTERPRETATION; MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (2 Peter 1:20-21).

8. WHEN WE LOOK TO THE WORD OF GOD, WE WILL TEACH AND ADMONISH ONE ANOTHER IN WISDOM, SING PSALMS, HYMNS, AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, WITH GRATITUDE IN OUR HEARTS TO GOD (Colossians 3:16).

Beloved, let God plot the course of your life through His Word. Then you will know what true living really is!
