The Word

I woke up with a question.

If My Word, that is this book, the bible in itself were ever taken away would you as a mature Christian have enough in your heart to ponder it and give to those who know it not?

Pretty heavy question. I can honestly say, not enough, not enough at all! And considering historically that this has happened in many countries under Communism, could we in the U.S. ever be faced with such a disaster?

The Word, store it in your heart, where no one can take it away....

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.(my thought, as I share, why do we as Christians treat those searching for Truth as though they need to be 'whitewashed' before giving them the Word of Truth, which is Christ? Be careful, because who are we? When we are nothing as it says, we deceive ourselves) 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load. 6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

In the book of Acts the disciples, preached, taught, spoke, beared witness to, glorified, that they may hear, learn, receive, be transformed, healed, saved by____The Word, which is God's Word, Made Flesh.

Let His Word be near you, in your mouth and in your heart...It is the Word of Faith. Romans 10:8

You have it, keep it, use it.

Talk about a good cry to my surprise this one touched me deeply!.....
We all have this in us.
