There has to be a new emphasis upon the Word of the Lord. The emphasis cannot be upon a leader; it must be upon the Living Word that is spoken and upon the impartation that is coming to us in this new level. The churches are always healthier as a result of this focus, because… Continue reading By the Word, in the Word

There is an important truth about judgment which we must understand: our speaking the Word of Christ into the earth—Christ speaking with His voice once again in a many-membered Body—will be the determining factor in judgment (Ephesians 3:10). But how does prophecy of that caliber come? I am very much impressed that it does not… Continue reading The Word on a higher level

We are coming to an era in which we shall be speaking the word of the Lord. To speak the word of the Lord sounds simple, but the process of it coming to pass has meant long warfare. From the very beginning of human history, when God spoke a word to people, Satan contested that… Continue reading Blown into kingdom come-by the word

Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it; that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy… Continue reading Heart, hand and head

And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works… Continue reading Let the Word have free course

Now the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I… Continue reading My Words in your mouth

And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your… Continue reading Dreams and words

The Lord is speaking in this day about a joy that comes to strengthen the believer. That joy will be needed; otherwise the Body of Christ will bog down under the heaviness of the Word. The Word, although heavy, does not come to crush the people of God; it comes to open the door so… Continue reading Alert to the Spirit

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And… Continue reading The Word made flesh

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. And He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of… Continue reading Can these bones live?

The second chapter of John records Jesus’ first miracle that of changing water into wine. This miracle is called a “sign.” It is a picture of what is to come in the end time. The best wine that was saved for the last at the wedding of Cana symbolizes the miraculous living Word that God… Continue reading The man believed the Word

Have you decided that you are not content to be what you were yesterday, and instead you are going to be what God says you are? Everything is done by the Word of the Lord. Imagine for a moment that you are poised on a high diving board. It is the first time you have… Continue reading Be it done unto me according to your word

In speaking about the Word of God, we must include all that God is speaking today, without distinguishing between the written Scriptures and prophecy. Inevitably critics will say that this is exalting prophecy to a place equal with the Scriptures; yet there are instances in which prophecy can be exalted above the Scriptures. It is… Continue reading To be and to become

The way the Lord brought forth the churches in the first century was very exciting. Some sprang up in a matter of a few weeks or months through the ministry of apostolic companies going forth in the land. Here is the story of one church. We give thanks to God always for you all, making… Continue reading The word sounded forth

But the righteousness based on faith speaks thus, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and… Continue reading Believe it and say it

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. Isaiah 9:8. This verse follows the well-known prophecy, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince… Continue reading Jacob and Israel

Just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her; that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be… Continue reading The lavor

Too many Christians are still missing the real meaning of the Word of God. The living Word is very basic to a walk in the Spirit. God’s people are going to speak the Word of God. This concept has already been accepted by a remnant of believers, but it is not in the depths of… Continue reading Those who spoke the Word of God

THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS Revelation 19 is one of the most significant chapters in the Bible. It ends a three-chapter portrait of two mystical, symbolical women who actually represent the picture of Christianity today: Babylon, the great harlot, symbolizing the systems of religion built in the name of Christ which commit fornication with the kings… Continue reading The testimony of Jesus

SPEAK THE WORD OF THE LORD God does not need to be quoted; He needs men who will be His mouthpiece. People still feel that they can work for Jesus. This has been a problem down through the years. Instead of going out and working for Jesus, wouldn’t it be better to go out and… Continue reading Speak the Word of God

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to… Continue reading The famine for the word of God

The early disciples of Christ had a unique power to turn the world upside down. What was the secret of their success? Was it because of the great abilities they had? I am sure the secret of that strange power was the Word of God which they spoke with great boldness. The early believers did… Continue reading Speak the Word only

The war over God’s word began early in Genesis when Satan came into the garden and asked, “Has God said?” Satan’s whole effort is to challenge and to question what God says. The believer’s victory is found in believing implicitly what God says and absorbing His word until he actually becomes a channel of speaking… Continue reading I ate the book

BY THE WORD OF GOD—AND HIS HORNETS Chapters 7 and 8 of Deuteronomy describe the way that immunity in spiritual warfare comes to God’s people and the way that it is preserved. Chapter 9 mentions the sons of Anak, the Anakim. They were giants, a breed of Nephilim who constantly opposed the children of Israel.… Continue reading By Word of God-and His hornets

The prophesying of Jeremiah came at a time when judgment upon God’s people was imminent. The same dedication to the pure word of God that came forth in Jeremiah must be wrought in our spirits, for in this hour we are standing on the threshold of the same kind of ministry that Jeremiah had. The… Continue reading But I am only eight years old

Sometimes the first part of a chapter in the Word is not understood until the last part is read. The end of the twelfth chapter of Hebrews says, …Our God is a consuming fire. Verse 29. If you orient yourself to this verse, the entire chapter will have more meaning. Verses 25 and 26 say… Continue reading The word that shakes

God has a way of either veiling or unveiling the truth. Many passages in the Scriptures are deep and mystical, as well as philosophical. When you read the Word, the Lord must give you a heart to perceive and understand the parables, the visions, the dreams, and the cryptic sayings that have hidden meanings to… Continue reading The pure coin of the realm

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. Revelation 21:21. Most believers know that everything in the hook of Revelation is rather symbolic. This Scripture is a symbolic picture of the New Jerusalem, the holy… Continue reading Streets of gold

A panoramic view of the book of Acts shows what the early disciples actually became conditioned to. Many Christians do not recognize the true emphasis in the book of Acts. They read how the Holy Spirit fell on the day of Pentecost, loosing the power of God in the Church. They are thrilled by the… Continue reading Is the rain of the Spirit beginning?

The principal purpose of the book of Acts seems to be the description of the anointing of the Lord and the fullness of the Spirit that rested upon the early believers. Many Christians today have too narrow an understanding of this dynamic book. A Pentecostal influence leads them to view Acts only as a book… Continue reading Expand! explode!

For every action there seems to be a corresponding reaction. Whenever God gives a word to your heart, Satan will fight that word, and you will become the source of both action and reaction. No matter how strong the anointing is that brings the word, there will be a corresponding power exercised to take the… Continue reading The enemy of God’s Word

From the dawn of human history, Satan’s tactic has been the assault against God’s word. He comes with one question: “Hath God said?” The conflict of the ages, as far as God’s people are concerned, points back to what happened in the Garden of Eden. There sin was introduced into the world because Satan was… Continue reading You’d better believe it!
