God’s Word Brings Power

Acts 6:7 tells us that the Word of God increased as they preached and practiced what they had heard from the Master’s lips. The Word began to develop and grow until it became a mighty force in the hearts of men and women and it was the prevailing Word. In my ministry, the Word has been living and is a growing force. The Word is eternal and like God, it is ever young, it is ever new. Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words remain forever.” The Word is part of God and it is what God is.

Jesus was fearless in the presence of disease and demons and through all this, He was using the Father’s Words and He knew that they could not fail (John 12:49). Jesus preached the Word and it healed the sick, it broke the power of demons over men. The apostles preached the Word and the sick were healed, the dead were raised, and the multitudes were recreated. To preach the Word means to preach Christ, because Christ is the Word and to preach the Gospel means to preach the Word and the good news. 2 Timothy 4:2 “To preach the Word of God urgently at all times, whenever you get the chance, in season and out, when it is convenient and when it is not. Correct and rebuke your people when they need it, encourage them to do right, and all the time be feeding them patiently with God's Word.”
