All Scripture is God-Breathed...
Did you know that the Bible is God-breathed?
What is the breath of God?
The breath of God is LIFE - "the breath of the Almighty gives me life"
The breath of God CREATES - "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host."
The breath of God is PURPOSE - "So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose"
The breath of God is WISDOM - "But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding."
God's word is like invisible power packets,
Like a wireless charging.
Similar to a phone sitting on a wireless charger,
The act of reading God's word fills us with His life-giving power packets.
To be unplugged from God's word,
Is to NOT get fed spiritually,
NOT to get spiritual recharged
Which means we're STARVING spiritually,
We're operating on low or dead SPIRITUAL battery,
Not cool.
Remember, it's a spiritual WAR.
Satan's pulling no punches to distract us,
He is tricking us into NOT reading God's word,
He is telling us that's it's ok, no big deal,
Satan is convincing us that we're NOT spiritually starving when we ARE,
Which leads to death.
A cell phone unplugged, uncharged eventually leads to a DEAD battery,
It's the same with us.
Satan was talking to Eve in the garden...
"'You will not certainly die,' the serpent said to the woman."
Satan is saying the same thing to us today.
If you don't read God's word DAILY,
"You will not certainly die."
He keeps whispering...
It's ok,
Look how far you've come without reading God's word daily,
It's not necessary,
"You will not certainly die."
Keep going,
Just the way you are,
There's too much to do,
You don't have time to read God's word daily,
"You will not certainly die."
You're too busy,
Get to work,
It's more pressing,
Reading scripture daily is no big deal,
"You will not certainly die."
The TRUTH...
I don't know one person that is spiritually mature that doesn't feed on God's word daily.
And I'm not just talking Youtube and podcasts,
But reading God's word daily.
If you don't know where to start,
Start here.
Just read 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 once a day for a week,
It's the LOVE chapter,
God is LOVE,
So you can't get simpler than that.
Set aside 5 minutes to read it daily,
I double dog dare you,
Do it for 1 week straight,
See what happens.
"the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"
When you feed on the word of God which is God-breathed,
When you feed on God's word which is LIFE, CREATION, PURPOSE and WISDOM,
Tap into God's power and see what happens.
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."
Stop using the wisdom of the world,
That says we must wake up and hustle,
That there's not enough time for Jesus,
That the Bible is boring,
It's not for me.
Instead, make Jesus a non-negotiable priority,
To read God's word even for 5 min NO MATTER WHAT,
And watch the kingdom of darkness crumble before your eyes.
Watch the demons in your life fall like lightning,
By reading God's word.
"so that [you] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
God's got great plans for you,
But it requires you to FEED on God's word daily.
Don't be like a phone that was forgotten to charge overnight,
Don't be like a solider that refuses to train,
Don't make excuses to why you can't read God's word.
It's not an option to be equipped in a war,
It's not an option to read the Bible in a spiritual war,
Get your armor on!
"Dear Heavenly Father,
Help me realizing how powerful Your word is,
Help me realize that is breathed by You,
Help me realize that it FEEDS my soul,
Help me see how spiritually malnourished I really am,
Help me realize how much I need You.
Train me,
Correct me,
Feed me.
Prune me,
Raise me,
Use me.
In Your word,
In Your Spirit,
In Jesus name, Amen."
Cheers to breathing in God's breath everyday without fail to become spiritually fit and strong!
Watch out Satan! Get ready for a but-whooping!!! ^_^
