The Power of God’s Word

from Council Fire

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And God said, ‘Let there be light: and there was light.’” Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV) I am not sure how much I can grasp the power of God’s Word as in the above Scripture. With one word Almighty God created the heaven and earth to existence. With one word, there was light. Let that sink in a bit. We serve a powerful and amazing God! Throughout the Bible, here is how He displayed His power: The parting of the Red Sea to bring His people out of bondage (Exodus 14) . . . Jericho’s walls fell as the Israelites marched around the city (Joshua 6) . . . God saved Daniel in the lions’ den (Daniel 6) . . . Elijah was lifted to heaven on chariots of fire (2 Kings 2) . . . The birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Matthew 2) . . . Lazarus raised from the dead (John 11) . . . Jesus died to save us from our sins (John 3) . . . God raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 6) . . . Jesus ascended back to heaven, and in the same way will return (Luke 24). These are just a few examples—you may have your own favorite Bible stories about God’s power that have impacted you. Hebrews 4:12 says: “For the word of God is quick (living), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner (able to judge) of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (KJV, clarification added) I often mention, when counseling, that my own words are so limited. But when we apply God’s Word, it goes way deeper into our hearts and can bring us out of bondage. It is so important to mediate on His Word each day. David said in Psalm 119:11: “Thy word have I hid in my heart that I may not sin against thee.” (KJV) I pray God will give each of us a greater desire to understand His Word. – Liz Beardy   Council Fire is a collaboration with Intertribal Life Ministries and Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
