God's Word Is Living And Powerful

 The Word of God is not simply a collection of so many interesting writings from antiquity. God's Word Is Living And Powerful and has been breathed-out from the heart of the living God, to enliven those who trust in His name. Not only was it the Spirit that prompted and inspired holy men of God to script His message to humankind, but He continues to prompt and inspire all who search its pages diligently, with a desire to discover the truth within its pages, and those with an ear that is submitted to the Spirit's leading and guidance.
 Every word is inspired by God and no prophecy stands alone. The Word of God is its own interpreter, and every passage should be understood, according to its plain meaning, as well as its historic and cultural context. All Scripture is to be examined alongside every other Bible passage that bears witness of the same subject.
 Although certain Scriptures may hold a special significance for different Christians or speak to an individual on a personal level, no-one has the right to spiritualize Scripture or to insist on their own personal interpretation to promote their own narrow doctrinal dictates. Similarly, the Word of God must never be subjected to multiple interpretations. The Bible cannot be correctly interpreted without the Holy Spirit's guidance, although unfortunately there are many that twist and distort it for their own gain, and to the detriment of many in the Body of Christ.
 The Bible is a direct revelation from God to us, and is unique among all other writings. God communicated His message to mankind through Scripture, sent His Son to fulfil Scripture, and gave us His Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. We would do well to take His Word seriously, and study to show ourselves approved unto God, as we examine the Scriptures day by day.
2 Peter 1:20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, thank You for Your Word, that breathes life and power into our hearts. As we read Your Word, we pray that You would lead and guide us into all truths. Teach and train us in right thinking, protect us from error and keep us ever humble in Your sight. In Jesus’ name we Pray, AMEN.
