What words do you choose to hold on to?

(While trying to hold on to sleep, these were a few promptings early this morning...10/18/2011)
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night , that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success Matthew4:4 Man shalt not live by bread alone but by Every word that proceedth out of the mouth of God.
When we share the word of God, its purpose is to uplift encourage to edify and glorify God. Often that is not the case.
Many have seen the experiment that consisits of an random sampling of say 10 people and their inability to relay a message channeled through the other nine. The experiment ends with a jumbled poor replica of the original message being relayed. Thus the importance of having a personal relationship with God and being joined to a local house of worship (ouch!) to get the message first hand. My perception or need that the word supplied may be totally different than your need. God's word sharper than a two edged sword..rightly dividing the word of truth..For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than a two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart..
This Word's For You....When we make a conscious choice to spend time with God, he spends time with us. Whether it be in prayer, in study and praise, we communicate our concerns our cares even celebrate our triumphs with Him. He in return gives us the word of life that we need in order to live our lives... Matt 4:4, Man shall not live by bread alone, BUT( I love when God puts that But in ) by every word that proceedth out of the mouth of God... He uses the Holy Spirit to prompt us and guide us, if God lays something upon your heart, take responsibility and take action don't wait for the next person to do it(For those hacking in, if God equipped you with the knowledge and equippment, then perhaps, this word is also for you. :).
Also by having that relationship with God, you are getting the message from the source,not the jumbled poor replica of the original. The reception of God's word has been compared to drinking from a spring, water that is pure, cleansing,with healing power. Imagine more of that filling your spirit releasing you from the old manGod's word, which is truth, meant to make you free John 8:32
The purpose of the preacher,be a vessel in which the word of God proceeds out of in order to edify God's people. To be God's mouthpiece(ouch!) and his servant, to do the Lord's bidding.(but I find solace in the ending of the man possessed with the legion of unclean spirits, after his deliverance, was one who Christ verbally commanded to evangelize about the great things which the Lord had done.. and the man in obedience, departed and began to publish in Decapolis of the great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel..Mark 5:1-20)(I Cor 1&2)I Cor 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe... 1:25a Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; Isiah 49: 2 and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me
Lest we forget, it isn't about the word but more specifically HIS word nor is it about the messager but Christ, the word made flesh.John1:1 In the beginning was the Word(Christ), and the Word was with God and the Word was GodI Cor 1:17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect God admonishes us to take hold to those things which are good. In His word is our hope,His word binds our lives in heaven and earth, His word per Psalm 119:89 is settled in heaven. Even when our souls faint, our hope lies in his word, His promises. And we can count on His word, For God is not a man that he should lie, and His word shall not return to us void. Heb 6:18Hold fast to his word..
And don't hold onto what other people think or say about you, get in God's word, discover the you He had in mind when He fashioned and formed youHe tells you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, that you are an overcomer of all things with Him.He knew you before he formed you in the womb, had already set a plan in life for you, and the paths that you should and would take if you get a little lost remember that He is your shepard and he will put you back on track :-) Psalm 119:49-50
