God’s Living Word Is Absolute Truth!

When we read, study, confess, and meditate on the Living Word we must do it believing that it is The Absolute Truth.

What does absolute mean?

Dictionary: Absolute:

1. complete; perfect 2. free from limitations, restrictions, or exceptions; unqualified.

3. having unlimited authority.4. undoubted; certain: the absolute truth.

5. not dependent on, conditioned by, or relative to anything else; independent

6. pure; unmixed.

God Himself Is Love – Absolute Love,

God Is Absolute Life,

God Is Absolute Light,

God Is Absolute Truth,

God Is Absolute Integrity,

God Is Absolutely Steadfast.

God and His Living Word are Absolute Truth! God and His Word are One.

John 1: 1 IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. (Amp. C)

God IS Love! The Being Love. Absolute Love.

1st John 4: 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (NKJV)

1st John 4: 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (NKJV)

Because God IS Love, The Being, and God and His Word are One, then God’s Word IS Love.

Because God Is Absolute Life and God and His Word are One then God’s Word Is Alive, absolute Life.

John 1: 4 – 5 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. (5) And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]. (Amp. C)

Hebrews 4: 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (NKJV)

Because God and His Living Word are One and God cannot lie God’s Living Word Is Absolute Truth.

Titus 1: 2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, (NKJV)

John 17: 17  Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. (Amp. C)

God’s Living Word Is Absolute Truth. His Word is His bond.

God’s Word is Absolute Integrity and Absolutely Steadfast.

Just as God never changes God’s Nature or His Ways do not change; neither does His Word.

Hebrews 13: 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (NKJV)

“What is Real Prayer?”

Download This Message -> 230414_The Bible Part 11 – What is Real Prayer

What is real prayer? – Communion, fellowship, and communication with God Himself. It is based on Love, covenant, and God’s Word. It is so much more than just asking for something.

Prayer brings great abundant joy to the Father God when we commune with Him. Prayer is two ways.

Prayer is more about Love, communion, and fellowship than it is about asking and receiving.

Prayer is as much about declaring the Word with thanksgiving as it is about asking.

We need to remember that real Prayer is Communion with God. Our Communion with God will bring rest and peace.

** Real Prayer cannot be boring when we are genuinely communing with the Father God Himself.

Prayer is Aggressive not defensive. Prayer changes things.

God’s Word is the highest Law. It is Spiritual Law by which all things were created and consist. It is a higher law than natural law. It will override all natural law but it must be activated.

** We are the ones who activate the Word.

Prayer that brings results is determined by how we see ourselves according to God’s Word.

John 8: 31 – 32 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. (32) And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. (Amplified Classic)

John 17: 17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. (Amplified Classic)

It is the abiding Word that you know in your heart that sets you free.

John 15: 7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. (Amplified Classic)

The Word cannot abide without Faith.  Faith comes by hearing.

Romans 10: 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (NKJV)

Faith works by Love.  Without Love our faith will not work.  Without Faith and Love the Word cannot abide.

Galatians 5: 6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. (Amplified Classic)

God’s Word is Alive. God Himself Is Life.  Since God and His Word are One then God’s Word Is Life.  Absolute Life.

Hebrews 4: 12 – 13  For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. (13) And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do. (Amplified Classic) 

God Himself has given us the right to choose His life by choosing His Word.

Deuteronomy 30: 14 – 20 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it. (15) See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil. (16) [If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which] I command you today, to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land into which you go to possess. (17) But if your [mind and] heart turn away and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, (18) I declare to you today that you shall surely perish, and you shall not live long in the land which you pass over the Jordan to enter and possess. (19) I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live (20) And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, (Amplified Classic)

Our choices direct the path of our life for good and bad.  Sometimes the choices that we make place us in circumstances that appear to be hopeless.  One of Satan’s greatest deceptions is to tempt us into believing that we have no choice.  No way out.  But there is always a way out.  We may not know what the choice is or how to find out but there is always a choice.

1st Corinthians 10: 13  For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it. (AMP C )

What do we need to do to guard our hearts so that the Word will abide?

Proverbs 4: 24 – 27  Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk put far from you. (25) Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you.(26) Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. (27) Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil. (Amplified Classic)

Proverbs 4: 20 – 27 is in the context of a commandment.

Attend or give attention to – This means that there is an action required on our part. Not just listen to them but to do what they say, apply them.

In order for the Word to bring forth the life and health we must do the following: 

1- Attend to His Word (Amplified = consent and submit)

2- Let them not depart from our sight

3- Keep them in the center of our heart

4- Keep and guard our heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard for out of it flow the springs of life

5- Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk put far from you

6- Let your eyes look right on with fixed purpose, and let your gaze be straight before you

7- Consider well the path of your feet

8- Let all your ways be established and ordered aright.

9- Turn not to the right hand or left

10- Remove your foot from evil

“The Abiding Seed of the Word”. If the Living Seed of The Living Word does not abide it cannot bring forth Life.

Once the Believer has the seed of the Living Word planted in His Heart and activated by the Faith of that Believer that seed will bring forth life unless it is prevented from abiding.

Our enemy satan does everything that he can to prevent the Living Word of God from abiding in the heart of the Believer.  The only chance that he has is to deceive the Believer into making a choice to not allow the Living Word to abide in His heart.

If satan is unable to deceive the Believer, the Living Abiding Word in the heart of the Believer will come to manifestation.  Satan cannot stop the Living Word from coming to pass any other way. 

John 15: 7 (Amplified Classic) If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

Abide – The Greek word used here is “meno”  It means to stay in a given place, state, or expectancy – To abide, continue, dwell, endure, be present, remain, stand, tarry for.

IF – If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you. We are to abide in Him and His Word is to abide in us. Both are by our choice.

Just as God never changes God’s Nature or Ways do not change; neither does His Word.  God’s Word has absolute integrity. His Word is His bond. His Word Is Absolute Truth

Integrity:  Unchangeable, Steadfast, Truth, Faithful, Trustworthy, Incorruptible, Perfect

Not only is God Himself the source of The Living Word but The Living Word IS God Himself.  God and His Word are One. 

John 1: 1  IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. (Amplified Classic)

All that God does is done by, in, and through His Word.  Everything no matter what it is conforms to His Word.   

John 1: 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. (Amplified Classic)

God’s Words are Containers of God’s Life

The Word of God is alive that is why God’s Words are containers of God’s Life, God’s Word is alive; therefore, it brings forth life.

John 6: 63  It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (NKJV)

Hebrews 4: 12 – 13   For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (NKJV)

God Himself Is Life.  Since God and His Word are One then God’s Word Is Life.  Absolute Life.

The Living Word is like a Seed.  Just as a seed contains life in itself, so does the Living Word. The Living Word contains the Life that it needs to bring itself to pass.  But that life must be activated.  We are the ones who activate that life by applying our Faith to the Word.

John 6: 63  It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (NKJV)

This Living Word of God is constantly at work in us who believe It.

1st Thessalonians 2: 13  And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]. (Amplified Classic)

Do you really believe that the Bible Is The Living Word of God? Do you really believe the Bible?

If so: Do you read the Bible? How often? Daily, weekly, monthly, occasionally?

Do you actually study the Bible? Do you act on the commandments and promises in the Bible?

The Bible can forever change your life. The Bible has forever changed my life.

Many of us would like change in our lives.  Change may be something that you have been thinking about.

The question comes to mind; where do I start?  First start with a relationship with Jesus Christ by being Born Again. Then a relationship with The Living Word, The Bible.

Psalm 119: 130 The entrance and unfolding of Your words gives light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple. (Amplified Classic)

Notice the entrance of God’s Word will give understanding, discernment, and comprehension even to the simple.  We all qualify.

Is the Bible a rich treasure to you? 

1st John 2: 4 – 6 Whoever says, I know Him [I perceive, recognize, understand, and am acquainted with Him] but fails to keep and obey His commandments (teachings) is a liar, and the Truth [of the Gospel] is not in him. (5) But he who keeps (treasures) His Word [who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety], truly in him has the love of and for God been perfected (completed, reached maturity). By this we may perceive (know, recognize, and be sure) that we are in Him: (6) Whoever says he abides in Him ought [as a personal debt] to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself. (Amplified Classic)

Joshua 1:8 – 9 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (9) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (NKJV) 

The Word of God is Alive

Hebrews 4: 12  For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (NKJV)

The Bible is The Judgment from the very Throne of God Himself.  The Highest Court of all

The Bible is a living covenant or contract between God and Man from the very mouth of God Himself.

Proverbs 3: 5 – 6 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. (6) In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. (Amplified Classic)

Psalm 31: 1a In You O Lord do I put my trust and seek refuge. (Amplified Classic)

Confidence must be developed.  We must develop confidence in God and His Word before the problem or issue comes. We need to practice our trust and confidence in God and His Word every day in every circumstance and situation of life.  Not just when problems are present.  If we wait till the problem arrives, we will have a difficult time developing our confidence.

If we really had the confidence and trust in God and His Word that we say we have, we would respond differently to the problems and circumstances of life.  If I really do have confidence in God and His Word, I will trust Him in every area of my life.

David knew where to place his confidence.  It was a habitual lifestyle for David. You find him constantly declaring his confidence in God and His Word.  Do you?

Like David many of us have had some trouble in our lives but let’s take a look at how David handled the troubles and problems that he faced in life.  We should be responding in the same way. 

Psalm 56: 3 What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You. (Amplified Classic) 

Psalm 31: 14 – 15  But I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God. (15) My times are in Your hands; (Amplified Classic)

Psalm 25: 1 – 2a Unto You O Lord do I bring my life.  O my God I Trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in you. (Amplified Classic)

Everything Hangs on the Rod of Love. When you let love fall, your faith, healing, prosperity, prayers, deliverance, everything will fall.

Luke 10: 25 – 28 (Amplified Classic) And then a certain lawyer arose to try (test, tempt) Him, saying, Teacher, what am I to do to inherit everlasting life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]? (26) Jesus said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? (27) And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. (28) And Jesus said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live [enjoy active, blessed, endless life in the kingdom of God].          

Manifestations come through expressing God’s love toward others.  But we have resisted God’s love for so long that we fail to see manifestations in our lives as we should.  Real love always produces manifestations of His Presence. We must demonstrate love in order to have genuine manifestation of God’s Word in our life at all times,

John 13: 34 – 35 (Amplified Classic) I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. (35) By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

Love is the distinguishing mark of the Christian: It is the only way the World will recognize us as Believers. The power flows from the unity of heart.

Matthew 18: 19 -20 (Amplified Classic) Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven. (20) For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them.

The key to individual and corporate revival lies in the unity of heart or our Love one for another.  Love between the individual and God which leads to the unity or Love of the corporate body and God.

John 13: 33 – 34 (Amplified Classic) I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. (34) By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

John 17: 20 – 23 (Amplified Classic) Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, (21) That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. (22) I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: (23) I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me. ** (1st John 4: 17 … As He Is so are we in this world.)

An established heart is fixed, steadfast, unwavering, trusting in the Lord always and in all circumstances no matter what those circumstances are.  The established heart does not weaver in times of trouble or distress.  A person with an established heart does not worry, fret, or fear.  They do not focus on the problem but on the answer.

A person who has an established heart is a person who walks the Love Walk no matter what the circumstances are.  The person with an established heart has set their love upon the Father. This person will be walking in the fruit of the Spirit.

The Person with an established heart is Spiritually minded, and God’s Word ruled.  God and His Living Word is first place in this person’s life.  They are not ruled by their senses, emotions, or feelings. God and His Living Word are first place in this person’s life.  The person with an established heart or who is Spiritually minded will be God and others centered, not self-centered.

Proverbs 4: 23 (Amplified Classic) Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

Colossians 3: 1 – 3 (Amplified Classic) IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (2) And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. (3) For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. 

Galatians 5: 25 (Amplified Classic) If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.] 

Psalm 25: 1 (Amplified Classic) UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life. (2) O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You…

Focus: definition:

To adjust your eye, a lens, a TV, or similar item to produce a clearer image. To fix or settle on one thing; to concentrate. To focus one’s attention on a specific subject or question. 

One of the main tactics that the enemy uses is to try and keep our focus on the wrong thing.  He works hard at drawing our focus away from God and His Living Word.  Throughout Scripture we see people who had their Life focus on God and His Word, or they did not.

No matter what was going on in David’s life, good or bad, David placed his life focus on God and His Word.  He corrected himself, his emotions, and the way he responded to the circumstances of life based on God and His Word. The one thing that was most important to David, His life focus, was his relationship with God. The same should be true of every Christian

Psalm 25:  1 – 2 (Amplified Classic) UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life. (2a) O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You.

Psalm 27: 1 (Amplified Classic) THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation–whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life–of whom shall I be afraid?

Right in the middle of the storms of life David asked one thing of the Lord.

Psalm 27: 4 (Amplified Classic) One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.

David was a man with a life focus. A life of real worship.

We need to change our focus in life to see our lives through the eyes of Love and God’s Living Word.  Place your focus in life on God and His Living Word and watch the circumstances in your life change.

When we do that, we will be filtering everything through the Love factor which will bring confidence, faith, rest and peace.  It will also put us in a position to hear from the Holy Spirit as he guides and teaches us.  He already knows the answer.

Matthew 6: 33 – 34 (Amplified Classic) But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. (34) So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.

God is the one who qualifies us to walk with Him.  On our own we could never qualify ourselves.  He has already paid the price and completed the work.  When we got Born Again He put in us by The Holy Spirit everything we needed to qualify for a personal relationship with God The Father Himself.  No matter what comes our way in this life He has made a way for us.  He will teach us how to stand in the midst of the storms of life.
