POWER OF THE WORD
POWER OF THE WORD
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
THE SUPERNATURAL MAN
Matthew 4:4 (NIV2011)
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
The Bible says that the believer, the justified, does not live by natural means; he has a secret power called "faith." The just live by faith. They make decisions by faith. They do things that others do not quite understand because they live in a dimension beyond natural dimensions; they live by faith.
There is a supernatural dimension of living designated only for a man and a woman of faith.
As Christians, we’re not ordinary; we’re like Jesus: glorified, full of power, dominion and authority. We’re not beggars, slaves, or paupers; we’re sons and daughters of God. Some Christians act or talk like beggars when they pray; they’d say, "Father, we’re nothing before you…." How can we be nothing before one who has brought us into oneness with Himself?
We have become partakers of His life, carriers of His glory, dispensers of His grace and the expression of His righteousness
THE SUPERNATURAL DIMENSION OF LOGOS
John 6:63 (NIV2011)
63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV2011)
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Acts 20:32-33 (NIV2011)
32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV2011)
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
