Tag: Bible verses about letting God’s word penetrate us

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-23

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

During our lifetimes as a follower of Christ, we will see and hear many people claiming to have a word for us from God.

We will hear teachings on many different topics, all supposedly based on God’s word.

We will have people tell us that God wants to bless us, or that He wants to anoint us for a specific task.

We will see groups of people, some of them exceptionally large, following teachers who tell them how good their lives can be.

Our walk with God will be a lengthy obstacle course full of things that we will need to discern and determine whether they are of God or not.

How do we do this?

How do we accurately discern these things and know who or what to believe as truth?

Simple.

Go back to the word of God.

The word of God is our measuring stick. It is the standard by which everything we see and hear is validated or proven to be false.

Sometimes the things we hear are plainly false. We know it the second we hear it.

Other things might not be quite so cut and dry.

Many falsehoods are skillfully wrapped in tidbits of truth but are really lies in a pretty package.

This is why it is critical for us to always go back to the word of God.

As we spend time studying, learning, researching, growing, and maturing, we will gain a more solid understanding of His word that will help us break through the confusion and peel back the layers of false teachings.

And this will make the truth glaringly obvious to us, allowing us to toss away the heresy that masquerades as the genuine article.

Always go back to the word of God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-23

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

God’s word is the lifeblood to our walk with Him.

It is the source by which we are transformed from the darkness of this world to God’s light (righteousness), as we take it in and let it change us.

God’s word is the seeds of righteousness planted in our spirits.

But let’s be very clear about something.

The righteousness we seek is not a quest to be perfect or flawless. Only Christ Himself was capable of that kind of perfection.

For us, the pursuit we embark upon is one by which we seek to walk out the freedoms that Christ died to make available to us.

You see, the darkness and cares of the world will do nothing but weigh us down, making it increasingly difficult to walk the path that God has set before us.

But His word will help us discern evil (darkness), recognize it and defeat it on a personal level.

Our quest is never about being better than someone else. It isn’t even about being a better person.

And it is absolutely not about looking at others and judging them.

Our goal should always be to look only at ourselves, allowing God to search our hearts, letting His word penetrate our soul, that He may be able to put His finger on those things that He wants us to surrender to Him.

In doing so, we will become ever stronger and more readily able to resist temptation and thwart the attacks of the enemy.

Study the word. Absorb it and let it penetrate your very being.

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-19

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

What does His word do? It reveals to us the things we need to change In ourselves to better our relationship with Him, and to walk the walk He has for us.

The word of God is alive. That means it will meet us where we are at in this very hour.

He will be with us during the season we are in and His word will hit that very area in us that needs to be either built up, broken down and/or corrected.

It is powerful, carrying such a simple but very profound message, and it speaks truth to every situation we are facing.

It will take us from being flat on our backs, into a bold, confident and victorious walk with Almighty God Himself.

The word of God will get into those areas that we may want to hide and never deal with. That may sound scary to some of us that want to never remember some things that have happened throughout our life.

But we can assure you that if God is touching us in that area, it’s time to deal with it. It’s time to remember. It’s time to talk it out, cry it out, and get it out.

God brings healing, restoration and the joy of His salvation to our souls. What a beautiful Father! Amen.

Psalm 51:12 (NKJV) 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-18

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Knowing the word of God and what He says about certain things is our weapon against the enemy. It helps protect us from his lies, deceit and temptation.

If we don’t know what God says about something, it makes it easier for us to fall into the devil’s trap. We need to educate ourselves and stay fresh and revived.

Let God revive us daily, keeping ourselves close enough to Him so that we will learn something new on a regular basis. We will have a revival in our hearts every day.

Do you need to be revived? Get in God’s word! Don’t wait. Get in there and start reading, even if it’s a little at a time to start off. Dig deep. You will come out refreshed, renewed and revived!

You will see your heart change right before your eyes, and you will have life and life more abundantly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-17

Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV) 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Wow! I had to read this over and over one day to actually let it penetrate. I was feeling pretty upset about some things that were taking place. As I read this scripture, each time it got louder and louder. I could feel myself getting calmer and calmer as I let it sink in.

You see, unless we let God’s word speak to us, or penetrate into our very being, it can’t help us.

For instance, has anyone ever been speaking to us, and we are  looking right at them and nodding our heads like we are hearing them, but we miss what they are saying? We have NO clue what they just said. If they ever asked us to repeat it back, we would be in trouble and have to ask them, “wait, could you say that again?”.

That’s not listening. That’s thinking of what we want to do or say next and totally not hearing that person, just nodding away.

We can do this at times when we read God’s word. Or when listening to a preacher, priest or any type of minister. We can be nodding our heads, saying yes and amen, while all the time having other thoughts or agendas running through our head.

To hear what God is saying we need to shut out everything, including our own thoughts.

As I heard this go through my head and let it penetrate my heart, it helped me greatly. It calmed me right down and helped me to move on. These words, “be kind, tenderhearted and forgiving”, spoke to me very clearly and changed my attitude quickly.

How many of us feel STUCK today? That’s an awful feeling when we know freedom. Compared to the feeling of being free, feeling stuck sticks out like a sore thumb.

To change this stuck feeling, we must let God’s word penetrate. Maybe for you it’s not this verse. It may be something totally different. But listen, let it penetrate and help you at this time.

Psalm 46:1 (NKJV) 46 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
