Spiritual Power

One of the most important truths that needs to be clear to you is that Scripture was given for your transformation and not information.

“Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.”

Psalms 119:97 NLT

To profit from Scripture, you must do more than read it. You must receive it. You must allow it to confront you, challenge you, and renew your mind. You must apply what you learn. 

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.”  James 1:22 NLT

When Scripture becomes your meditation, your decisions, emotions, and habits begin to align with God’s will. As you come to the scriptures, the Spirit of God brings them to life, making the Word become wisdom, direction, strength, and comfort. The more you walk in the Word, the more victories you experience, the more clarity you receive, and the more Christlike you become.

“I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”  Psalms 119:11 NLT

Friends, your Bible is not just a book of morals or a code of conduct to adhere to. It is spiritual power. It is nourishment for your soul. It is light for your path. It is the voice of God to your heart. The more you profit from Scripture, the more you walk in the fullness of God’s purpose.

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”  Romans 12:2 NLT

Make it a Transforming Tuesday! God is good…
