Power In The Word!
How the word of God empowers and changes

2. The Moving Of God
2 Peter 1:20-21 (NASB77) 20  But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, 21  for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

3. He Sent His Word
Psalm 107:19-20 (NASB77) 19  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses  He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

4. The Rain & The Snow
Isaiah 55:10-11 (NASB77) 10  "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth, And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11  So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

5. Not On Bread Alone
Matthew 4:4 (NASB77) 4  But He answered and said, "It is written, ' MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"

6. I Found & I Ate Them
Jeremiah 15:16 (NASB77) 16  Thy words were found and I ate them, And Thy words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

7. Made By The Word
Hebrews 11:3 (NASB77) 3  By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
2 Peter 3:5 (NASB77) 5  For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

8. Take Pains With These
1 Timothy 4:13-15 (NASB77) 13   Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching  Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed upon you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery  Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to all.

9. His Word & His Name
Psalm 138:2 (NASB77) 2  I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, And give thanks to Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and Thy truth; For Thou hast magnified Thy word according to all Thy name.

10. The Word Sanctifies
John 17:17 (NASB77) 17  " Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth.
John 15:3 (NASB77) 3  " You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

11. Washing Of The Word
Ephesians 5:26 (NASB77) 26   that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

12. The Word Saves Us
Acts 11:14 (NASB77) 14  and he shall speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.'

13. The Answer Is In Your Mouth
Romans 10:6-8 (NASB77) 6  But the righteousness based on faith speaks thus, " DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down), 7  or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)." 8  But what does it say? " THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, in your mouth and in your heart"-- that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
