THE Father has magnified His Word by calling His Son the Word. John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14: And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. That is the eternal logos, the Word. The Father has glorified the Word-this written Word that becomes a Living Word when filled with faith in our lips. It becomes a Life-giving Word. It becomes a healing Word. It becomes an educational Word in the things of the Spirit. It is the Word that the Spirit uses to unveil the things of Jesus to us. It is the Word that He uses when He unveils the things of the Father to us. Eph. 6:17: And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. I wondered if that word spirit there meant the recreated human spirit? The Holy Spirit cannot use the Word except as He uses it through our lips. The Word is only used through the lips of the recreated one. We are going to think of it now as the sword in the lips of the recreated man or woman. It is the Word filled with Love that melts hearts. It is the Word filled with truth that cuts men to the very quick and makes them cry out in agony. It is the Sword of the recreated spirit. It is not only a Sword, but is also the balm of Gilead. It is the healing, gentle, tender words of the Father. It has in it the hushing, quieting spirit of love that is in a mothers heart when a child is wounded. What a wonderful thing it is to live in the reality of the Word, to have the Word in our lips filled with the energy of God blessing, saving, and recreating men and women; healing the sick, and breaking the power of demons over mens lives. What a thing it is-this Living Word. We hold in our hands the Written Word. When we become filled with the Spirit and Love gains the mastery, it becomes a Living Word in our lips; it becomes a prevailing Word over the forces of evil around us. It prevails over doubt and fear. It prevails over ignorance, failure, and weakness in men. Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Hearing means acting, doing the Word of God. You will never have faith until you act on the Word of God. You may have Mental Assent and you may glory in the Word and tell how beautiful it is. That is fine, but it does no good. You must act on the Word. Step out of the realm of failures into the realm of the successful. Become a dominator of circumstances rather than a slave of the conditions around you. Be creative as Jesus was and as men down through the ages have been who dared to act upon the Word of God, and see what God will do for you. 2 Tim. 1:12: Yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day. Paul knew that he possessed Eternal Life, the Nature of God. He gloried in it. He was not ashamed to confess it. He said, I am not ashamed of the good news that I believe. Paul knew what he had. Paul rejoiced in his confessions. 2 Cor. 2:14 is a song of triumph, faiths mighty victory: But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and makes manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place. Triumphant faith that cannot be conquered, that will not yield no matter what the appearances may be, knows that God cannot lie and that whosoever believeth on Him shall not be put to shame. This makes us act like sons of God. We use the Name against the forces that oppose us. We are Masters, we are united with omnipotence.
