ONLY THE WORD

YOUR WORD IS MY COMMAND

I haven’t written in a long time and it is a miracle none of you even called me out on Facebook. The truth is I haven’t written because I didn’t have inspiration to do so and the things I had inspiration for were just too much for me to write about, almost like I am not ready to share that with you yet. Anyway, what kind of movies do you like? I am a freak for medieval movies. Like Brave heart, Gladiators and those English times ruled by kings type of movies. You are probably wondering why? Let me tell you, I love them because in those times people knew and understood rank role and authority. When a king said go, their first responds was “Your word is my command.”   And then they went. They didn’t ask how am I to get there, what am I going to eat on the way, why don’t you sent that guy, I just got back from the last trip you sent me, can I first rest? No they just went, for it was an honor to be a steward of the king, and if there was one that didn’t obey he would be slayed on the spot.

Not that I am an advocate for people being slayed, what I mean is we need to come to that place of “Your word is my command” Some of us have reached the point where the  application of the word of God is conditional. My friend intentionally talks bad about me I will not forgive her again type (conditional) Mathew 18:22. God’s word is not conditional so if He says go we must say “Your word is my command”. There are three places you need to recognize authority in the kingdom, the authority of the Holy Spirit, the authority of God’s word and the authority of  leadership placed in your life. We must come to recognize the authority of Christ. That way you will recognize the authority of people placed in our life. You clearly cannot submit to authority placed in your life if you don’t recognize the authority of Christ.

How can I keep my ways pure from the temptations of this world and the urges of sin? by guarding my heart according to your word, guarding  it with all diligence, for from out of it flow the issues of life. Jesus said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you shall by no means have life, what is the flesh of Jesus Christ? The word of God, for the word became flesh and made its dwelling among us. We must eat of the flesh and drink of the blood. One of our spiritual weapons is the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. How do we overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony? We must constantly testify the word of God. How can one be prosperous? By meditating on the word of God? Let us get back to the point where the word of God is a command and not a suggestion.
