14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
DAILY READING Luke 12:1-31; Genesis 21; Psalm 14
God and His Word are inseparable. They are one. Jesus, The Word, said, ‘I and The Father are one.’ So wherever you find The Word of God, you will also find God . Wherever The Word is spoken in truth, God’s presence is available. So, having The Word of God inside of you, also means carrying God inside of you. And when you carry God victory is assured. This is why the victory that overcomes the world is faith because faith is a product of The Word.
This is also why you should endeavor to always load up the Word in your heart before you step into the day. Each time you step out carrying The Word of God inside of you, demons see you and flee. The bible gives account of demons recognizing Jesus and screaming in trepidation whenever Jesus came in their direction. The same thing happens when they see The Word inside of you. Jesus is the Word of God. The Word shines as light within you. The Bible says ‘in Him was life and the life was the light of man and the light shines in darkness and the darkness could not overcome it’ [John 1:5].
The Word within you shines as light, and this is what darkness sees and flees. Philippians 2:15-16 says that we are the sons of God, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom we shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life.
Keep yourself lit by The Word. Keep the Word of God in your heart. The Word shining in you keeps the evil in the world away from you. What do you think would happen if a camper’s fire goes out during the night? The evil beasts will come out from their hiding places to attack. So keep your light burning by keeping the Word in the midst of your heart and you can be sure that darkness will always keep away from you.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to pay attention to Your Word until your light arises in my heart so that every evil and darkness is dispelled from around me forever..
Quote
You don’t have light until you have The Word of God. Until you have The Word of God on any issue in your life, you don’t have light yet.
