Deep Things Of His Word

0:01 Hebrews chapter 4, verse 12. For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any 2 edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hey everybody, welcome once again to Deep Things Audio. And this is our new series. Yes. So remember last time I told of that Next time we'll be meeting, we'll be starting a new series. Wisdom was beautiful and it ended well, right? And there was so many testimonies from how wisdom went and how it impacted lives.

0:54 But it's. Time we had to draw the curtain for wisdom, and now we have opened the curtain for a. New series. So I asked. A lot of our members and our people, when the series came to guess what it was, so I got a lot of responses. Someone said it to be deep tears of love or unlike other episodes this is our eighth series ever since didn't started. Yes. So unlike every other series, we never really got this much, you know, good response. Every response was not really so in line with how we give our series, but this one was the tribe.

1:43 So someone said deepness of law. OK, Someone said deepness of kindness. Someone said deepness of power. I mean, I will. I taught those details of peace. Yeah. So they said so many things, distance of prayer, you know, but. Our new series. Name is. Distance of his word, yes. So I'm very happy you started this with us. This is episode 1 of deep things audio, deep things of his word. And we're very excited for what God is said to do with this new series in this time and season. OK, so a little. Backdrop every.

2:42 Series we enter or venture into is either a glimpse of what's happening in the season or what is to happen in the next season for you or I don't think anyone connected to you. So I I join you to give this series your rapt attention but not have been so consistent with other ones. But with this one, give it your rapt attention. OK, so let's get down to it. Our anchor scripture is taken from the book of Hebrews chapter 4. Rest well. And the King James translation says For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any 2 edged sword, piercing even to the dividing and Thunder of soul and spirit and of the joint and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

3:45 The amplified translation for the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power, making it active, operating, energizing and effective. It is sharper than any 2 episodes, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life that's the soul and the immortal spirit, and of joints and marrow of the deepest part of our nature, exposing and sifting and analysing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. Now this new series. Deep things of his word first to those make. It clear. Is deep things of God's Word OK, so we're going to be dealing in God's Word.

4:34 And as the Spirit leads us now, the truth is nothing can be hidden from God. We may fool ourselves or other Christians or those we know. All friends. Of fellowship, brethren with. Our spiritual lives, but we cannot deceive God. He knows who we really are because the Word of God is living and powerful. That's why people ask questions of how God's word contain the Old Testament are still relevant to this day. Like how is it still relevant? This is because it is living. So unlike other letters and books, God's Word is powerful and living.

5:16 When you study God's Word contained in the Scriptures, your entire being is opened up to Him and nothing is hidden. Now listen. The Word of God reviews you to you and reflects your reality in Christ to you. Again, the Word of God reviews you to you and reflects your reality in Christ to you. Now the Word of God is described in many ways. Such as? I'm going to love the list in the six. Ways is described first. Being Isaiah chapter 55 verse 11, God's word will not return to him empty, but would do what God desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it.

6:00 Jeremiah chapter 23 verse 29. God's word is like fire and like a hammer that can break a rock into pieces. John chapter 6, verse 63, God's word is Spirit and life. Acts Chapter 7 verse 38 God's word is living. Ephesians chapter 6 verse 17 God's word is part of the believer's armor. Recall the armor, the part of the armor that they said, the soul of the Spirit. Yes, that's God's. Word then finally first Peter chapter one, verse 23. God's word is living and enduring through which people are born again.

6:43 Now to look at it more from the scriptures first Peter chapter one, verse 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable through the living and enduring word of God. So first question, how is the word of God living and powerful? The Word of God is not simply a collection of God's word, a vehicle for communicating ideas. It is rather living, life changing and dynamic as it works in US. Listen to this. The demands of the Word of God requires decision. That means you can choose transformation by God's word according to Acts chapter 20 verse 32.

7:31 And I'm brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among those that are sanctified. Now the Word of God is able to do 2 things for you, 1 build you up and two give you an inheritance among them that are satisfied. The assignment of the Word of God is to damage ignorance in your life. Provided you dwell in the realm of ignorance and darkness as highlighted in the Scripture, you are still within the domain of Satan. A popular verse, Isaiah chapter 60 verse one.

8:12 Arise and shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. So you are not arising and you are not shining just because you have been there for too long. No, but because the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Amplifying translation says arise from spiritual depression to a new life. Shine, be radiant to the glory and brilliance of the Lord, for your light has come, and the glory and billions of the Lord has risen upon you. Under verse Isaiah to the ninth verse 2, the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light.

8:53 They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined. And take good note of this. There is no way to strengthen a believer outside the ministry of the Word of God. The Word of God is beyond intellectual communication. The exigencies of the Word of God is not always intellectual. There is a dimension that is higher than the realm of intellectual. That is the spirit communication. You can receive realities deposited in your spirit man that your mind cannot articulate and your mind cannot give language to.

9:31 However, with time, with constant study of the Word of God, this reality that has been deposited in your spirit begins to find expression and you find yourself working on usual wisdom in unusual dimension of power, confidence and faith is impacted just like the wind. Now the layer of the word that it did your understanding that correct your perception, your thoughts and your ideas, even if they are age long, even if it's generational, even if it's inherited, even if it was learnt. This the Bible calls stronghold according to Psalm chapter 18 verse 2, the Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God is my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

10:24 Now listen, The Word of God is living, and it gives life to those who believe, energizing this present life and promising eternal life. The fabricist imagined that the Word of God was a set of static rules, but they were wrong. The Word of God, living and powerful, breeds life for people. Today. God reaches out to those who look into its pages, calling them to life, meeting their knees, expressing their deepest emotions, offering answers to their greatest questions. Now to conclude this episode 1.

11:06 The word of God penetrates through our outer facade and reveals what lies deep inside. So the metaphor of A2 edged sword pictures the word of God like a knife. Or you can say a scaple, the one they use in surgery, revealing who we really are on the inside. You know when a scaple if you've seen a. Surgical operation. Done it once. It cuts through the skin, nothing is hidden anymore. You can see the muscle layers, you can see the fascias, you can see everything. If you're going deep into the person, you can see the organs.

11:49 I can now know if it's healthy or if it has a fibroid, a an abnormality or anything. Everything is open and exposed. So also the Word of God descends what is inside within us. It descends what is within us, both good and evil. It penetrates the core of our moral and spiritual lives. Nothing can be hidden from God, neither can we hide from ourselves. If we sincerely study the Word of God. It reaches deep past our outer life as a knife passes through the skin or scabble during surgeries, and it delves deep into our inner lives and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

12:39 God's Word reveals who we are and what we are not. Again, God's Word reveals who we are and what we are not. God's powerful word will change us. We must not only listen to it, but we must also let it transform our lives. So this is just the introduction of deep things of His Word. Again, I encourage every single one of us to remain steadfast with this series. It's a timely series and I would really love us to take it as such. So to meet next time for episode 2 and ongoing bye.
