It’s All In The Scriptures
“For whatever was thus written in former days was written for our instruction, that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to and cherish hope.” Others have gone on before us with the knowledge we need today for victorious living. Our hope and encouragement comes from the scriptures. Knowledge of the scriptures with true revelation from the Holy Spirit gives understanding for proper growth in God. Our foundation in the scriptures is so vitally important to our survival. The scriptures give us hope and encouragement because the word of God is alive, sharper than any two edged sword. No scripture is void of power to accomplish whatever is necessary. The scriptures are God breathed so when we confess the word (scriptures), it will not return void of accomplishment and total victory in your situation. Once God’s word is sent out from the lips of a faith filled believer, it’s a wrap. Through faith and patience we obtain the promises of God. Simply reading and meditating in the word of God brings a comfort worth settling down for. If you’re tapped in securely (meditating on the word) you can feel the peace of God in your soul in such a way that your problems begin to shrink in your thought life, and when we apply God’s word through our confession over our troubles, our troubles begin to lessen on every side. You don’t understand this when you haven’t experienced it. But let it be known to all, God is alive and well, and His word will work for you. Hope and encouragement from the scriptures is only a part of the benefits of the Kingdom of God.
